Repel The Boarders - Fallout Wasteland Warfare Battle Report // Tabletop Hub

[@corrupted_sanic_gaming.-..__]

With fallout's name being dragged through the mud that I think we need to remind people that Fallout Wasteland Warfare exists and is amazing that ... so I'm glad you did this and keep it up

[@MisfitHobbies]

It is a great game, we'll definitely have the rest of the scenarios in this questline on the way in the new year :)

[@Robman0908]

Absolute best product out there at the moment with the name “Fallout”.....outside of New Vegas and 1-2.

[@braydonmicah7007]

I guess I'm kinda off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream new series online ?

[@darrenjayce2633]

@Braydon Micah i would suggest Flixzone. You can find it on google :)

[@rylankody8863]

@Darren Jayce Yup, have been watching on flixzone for since april myself :D

Such a great session, really looking forward to your future battle reports! My ideas on things to think about for the video production would be: 1) Try keeping the health counters for the models always on the screen somewhere if possible (like goals in a football match), it's always good to be able to glance at the score - most gamers don't include this feature at all, so even if you don't keep them on screen, I'm so glad you put them on screen when it mattered. But considering how little of the tabletop we could see in the main camera, keeping the graphics at the bottom would have been fine. I think down the sides would be the best option (horizontal with the graphic on the outside of the screen and the number on the inside), there's a lot of empty space there. 2) I didn't mind that we couldn't really see the dice rolls because you announced every time what they were, which is great - some gamers throw multiple dice and just say "it's a hit!", and you're like "yes, but I'd like to know the roll!". It would be nice to see the rolls if we could, even just displayed on screen with graphics rather than a separate camera, but it's fine as long as you keep announcing what each die is. 3) It would be nice to see the tabletop a bit more, either by cutting back to it at random intervals or by working out a way to display both cameras at the same time and still making it look good. 4) I'm a huge fallout fan and I make music, and would love to provide you with some *free* royalty-free unique background tunes. My music channel is kzbin.info (but it doesn't have examples of musical scoring, just songs, but at least you can check what the production's like). I noticed you're using the official fallout 4 soundtrack, perhaps you'd want something original that's equally dystopian. 5) You're awesome, keep it up!

[@flacateracotta4553]

Would love to see more of these battle reports. I really appreciate the HP displays for the models on the tables, makes it much easier to follow!

[@paul9875]

Nothing to add to the comments about rule mistakes and the camera angle, but really enjoyed the format, and thought it was overall really well done. Very much looking forward to the next! There really should be more people making videos for this game, so great to see this up :-)

[@MisfitHobbies]

Thanks so much for your feedback, I've definitely learned a lot making this one and will hopefully make the next one even better :) If you haven't already, do feel free to check out the scenario for yourself, there should be a download link in the video description :)

[@Phoenikuz]

Great little video! Whilst I haven't gotten Wasteland yet, I did wonder why the attacking Raiders didn't get a bit more in the way of points? From other wargames, a typical rule of thumb for a scenario where you attack a fixed position is to grant the attacker at least 50% more points :)

[@MisfitHobbies]

Usually, a typical Cap allocation to a unit list would be 500 caps so you're totally right in that my wonderful Raiders were well below that. For this scenario, I didn't want to make a Raider victory a sure-thing which is why I kept them around the same point value. I definitely think I should've chosen different weapons other than Pipe Pistols, then maybe they'd have lasted a little longer :D This scenario is built as a taster really and even with the lower cap value, they put up a really great fight :)

[@williamholmes9195]

I enjoyed watching this, thanks Sam. The one thing I wish you had covered was how everything was set up.

[@MisfitHobbies]

Thats really helpful feedback, once this whole Covid thing chills a bit so that I can record more of these I'll try and make a little separate setup section :)

[@Vaultboy-ke2jj]

Just an FYI but the USS Constitution isn’t a civil war ship. She dates from just after the revolutionary war so around 70 years before the civil war

[@PiedmontBlues]

Dogs/Hounds don't need line of sight to charge as they can hear/smell their target. :) Great battle report, I'm looking forward to the rest of the series, whenever it may come. :)

[@MisfitHobbies]

Hopefully very soon!

[@RatboyScree]

1) Crits are only available if the model is heroic 2) Crit Symbol only adds +1 Critical token (Each hit also adds one) 3) Walked fire only allows max 1 Critical token per turn 4) Each consecutive hit from a walked fire weapon adds an extra armour break 5) Event comes at beginning of round 2 6) Dogmeat didn't need LOS to charge 7) Could have charged but not slid into combat (which happens after you have done a Melee attack but only if the target survives) 8) You are allowed to pre measure 9) Cover (To see if you have cover measure centre to centre) 10) Roll all dice at same time 11) Survivors get Armour tokens (Unique models get 2) 12) The Injury means -2 penalty to all rolls for the rest of the game 13) Shooting into combat gives +2 to your stat for the to hit purpose 14) The reaction token does not go until the model has acted again or used the token 15) only in the first round is advantage randomised if the both have the same number of models, after that it is whomever has the least models still or if tied the person who didn't go first last time 16) Mini Guns can be used in combat -2 to hit + 1 Armour same as rifles 17) You used the updated card but failed to realise dogmeat hits on 6 or less 18) effects (Including Injuries are whether you do damage or not as long as you hit) 19) Power armour takes damage before the model

[@grimalldi4526]

I do believe when shooting into combat you can accidentally hit friendly models. So when you had two raiders and Dogmeat hit by Nora, Dogmeat could have been hit too.

[@ItsMeMattCarter]

@@grimalldi4526 Yep, you need to roll to see who you hit.

[@markchristy9704]

A bit late to the party, but I'll add: Reactions and Quick Actions in general (including attacks on figures leaving close combat) get a -2 to skill checks and movement under such circumstances is 1 movement ruler shorter than usual.Also, the Critical abuse in this game is hard to watch.

[@danielbooth9995]

Good battle report man. Keep them coming. :)

[@MisfitHobbies]

Thanks!

[@xakiraukx]

Great battle report! Just one thing regarding the first raider that was took off with sentry bot, I didn't think you ran out of armour? If a character has armour 2 you roll to save against damage everytime you take a hit unless you roll a ignore armour on dice, so if you take 3 points of damage and manage to save 2 on armour roll you only take 1 point of damage. Or have I been doing it wrong lol

[@allenforbes8108]

loved this first play through that I found, and that damage vs. break that should be a GREAT house rule, but as comments already pointed out the armor rules need a little more tweaking.

[@MisfitHobbies]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@patrioticmucus2329]

Had a great time watching this! Will try and pick it up soon. Any plans to come up with more scenarios, particularly those with the AI in mind?

[@kraziel]

Imagine a BATTLE report.. for a MINIATURES game, lasting for an hour.. where 95% of the time the camera is showing NOTHING but two dudes standing up talking. Amazing.

[@MisfitHobbies]

It’s great that there’s so much variety on this site that if you watch something you don’t like there’s so many other great content creators out there that you may find something you do. Equally this was the first battle report I ever made, was it going to be perfect? Absolutely not, we had the gear we had in order to pull it off and were trying something new, the newer battle reports are completely different but again if it’s not something you enjoy then there are other great creators out there who create the handheld on-the-table style videos it sounds like you’re looking for

[@kraziel]

@@MisfitHobbies Didn't know this was your first game, I take the harsh criticism back. Everyone gotta start somewhere. And yest, there's lot of content out there, It's just that this was freneticly being recommended to me nonstop.

[@kiesarisunny13]

I’d love The Rusty Boys to show up in Fallout 5-

[@MisfitHobbies]

😂 that would be an awesome cameo

[@D.W.I.F]

Only watched half so far. Good content, i like the scenario idea too! I have noticed your critical hit would not have happened. I believe you must be heroic and rolling the crit adds an extra crit point to your gun along with regular hits. You then activate you crit with no skill roll on an action or quick action. Also i think with shooting into combat you are still a chance to hit your ally. So dogmeat should have been applied a number.

[@MisfitHobbies]

I believe shooting into a crowd only applies to combatants you can see and Nora had no direct line of sight on Dogmeat for that shot. I believe that’s what we had read in the rulebook but we could have interpreted it wrong :/

[@D.W.I.F]

Tabletop Hub yeah I’ve just checked the forum. Your right on! Looking forward to ep 2

[@MisfitHobbies]

I definitely need to read up more on criticals though, I assumed everyone could do ot

[@HobbitTabletopLiga]

Dude, a battred sentry bot does not have a mini gun :D... he is equiped with an EMPTY minigun and a missile launcher...

[@MisfitHobbies]

Yeah we changed it to be more balanced for this scenario

[@bezzaberry5507]

For the rest of the campaign, the rusty bois should take the place of the survivors.

[@MisfitHobbies]

The Rusty Boi's will return at the end, and they'll be rustier than ever!
