The background color lighting changes from blue to orange was a good idea to show the game highlights and the commentary afterwards.

Oh! You're right that's brilliant!

Yes the more I watch the video after reading this comment the more I like the fact that they did this. It makes it all VERY clear.

I still have questions about how the same brick wall can change colour so radically.

This is BY FAR the best tabletop wargame video format that I've ever seen. Highly approved. Would love to see more.

[@benjaminyoung12]

I didn't want to click on the video because games like this can be hard to stay interested in. But this format is great. I wanted it to be longer even

[@massjammster7986]

Absolutely. You can really see the work put into the vid and it pays off; defo main channel content here. Also with the after the fact story telling addition it makes what could be 'a too long to watch' vod into something very entertaining to watch on its own in a more accessable manner.

i dunno. i felt like whenever the game was interrupted with the post game commentary, it took me out of it. i would just like to see how the game pans out without so much information being displayed from the commentary

As a fan of Bolt Action, I've really been looking forward to this ever since Pyrion mentioned it on Triforce

[@john-marccartagenas6706]

Just came here from triforce haha (I think it’s episode 181 or 182?), I also remember them mentioning Pyrion’s military toys>lego when I was peeking at the big 200. I just remembered seeing a vid on this channel with Pyrion and Lewis.

"A few more victories like this, and the war will be lost." - Ben, The Battle of Chateau de le Moumurmur/Claire Papignon/l'Eglise St Voiloustenoinounou, 1944 AD. “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” Pyrrhus of Epirus, the Battle of Heraclea, 280 BC.

If I remember rightly Ben did a dissertation or something of the sort on Pyrrhus? Could be someone else in the yogs but I seem to remember Ben mentioning that at some point.

Nice to see some tabletop games back on Games Night. I’m also excited to see other wargames outside of Games Workshop being features. Hope to see more content like this in the future!

[@noakessimon]

I'm not a boardgame player, but this format was entertaining and easy to understand. Thanks!

[@TomBushy]

I always appreciate the production value and love that the Yogscast seems to give to so many of their videos. Always such high-quality content. Even without knowing a thing about the game or even that much about miniatures, I thoroughly enjoyed this video still.

[@Barrowland07]

This format is really good. Basically the guys talking about the highlights of the game. Doesn't get bogged down with rule checks and anything they aren't sure about so it keeps the video going. i watched this one and the last 20 min game they played and was so dissapointed that there aren't more i can binge on. More like this please. Really enjoyed it

You've absolutely nailed this format guys, it's perfect! 👌 Loving the war stories vibe with just enough of the dice rolling and banter cut in, very well done. Really enjoyed the Blackstone Fortress vid too! Hope to see more soon, maybe some narrative campaigns, 40k, Kill Team, Necromunda or some games of X-wing or Armada?

[@fredwilson1448]

How much did all this stuff cost?

[@misomiso8228]

Are you doing tabletop games again?! May I make some requests my good sir...? 1) STAR TREK: ARMADA - these were the BEST games you ever did on yt. Honestly Armada is so good and it was so cool watching you play with somebody explaining a bit of the rules as you went along. Would love to see a big game of this, maybe a 2 v 2. 2) An Age of Sigmar game! I don't you think you ever played this, but it would be great to see you have a 'classic' game, ie good v evil - something like Stormcast and humans v Skaven, or Duradin v Orruks. 3) 40k. Just because. Maybe an expanded version of whatever the latest release is, so they have just released a Grey Knights v Tzeentch box which would be amazing. Other games to look at: Battlefleet Gothic: Cool old style 40k space combat. Maybe call up Andy Chambers and ask him down to play! Judge Dredd Miniatures game: 2000ad! Punk British! Classic Battletech: Robots! Elder Scrolls miniature game: Get some of that Bethsada sponsorship money! Frostgrave: UNderground hipster miniatures game! Very cool.... That should keep you going!

[@lliamdavis6950]

19:21 Lewis the entire game. The dice gods are fickle beings. Loved the Battrep, I like the new style of show gameplay AND then the post game discussion. But it also means we don't get hours of content, a small price to pay.

[@V.has_come_to.22]

This was amazing! The editting was perfect, humour was perfect. Gotta get back into Warhammer with this style of video

[@TheEccentricMan]

Bolt Action a great game due to the dice activation system, and you found a great deal of fun can be had. Nice battle report and explanation of what was going on. One little thing with the mortars its not automatic hit after a successful shot, subsequent rolls need a 2+ to hit. Hope to see more Bolt Action. new subscriber here.

[@tonycowards4689]

Was going to mention this. A roll of 1 is still a miss even when a mortar is zeroed in.

Theres hot dice, and then there's triple 6s, along with wiping out entire squads in one turn. Makes me a tiny bit sus about the validity of the rolls, but then.....what would that accomplish?
