Soviet Union Vs Japan - 1000pts Late War - Bolt Action! 2nd Ed.

[@TikitheHutt]

BANZAAAAAAI! Just me and my horse against the World!

[@MordianGlory]

BANZAAAAAAI! OMG mate thank you so much for the amazing support :)

[@MoistVonLipwig]

We're all allowed to watch this > there are no Nazty Germans in it, just the lovely, wholesome Japanese and Soviet forces. Nothing problematic there. Good, good.

[@whocares435-z9v]

The Kwantung Army, at that! Those were extra nice! I really love all the work they did on medicine and overpopulation.

[@MoistVonLipwig]

@@whocares435-z9v Yes, and that Soviet commitment to individual liberty, and respect for fellow man, always brings a tear to the eye

[@Ephieites]

I know why you say that and I think you hit it on the head :D But on a more serious note, I am german and I have to say the warcrimes of the Japanese are almost universally unknown where I am from. I even started my first BA army as Japanese because I wanted to have one of the "nice" Axis nations... boy oh boy. I have since researched and read a lot, especially the book "Knighst of Bushido". Gives you a whole new perspective about that conflict there.

[@MoistVonLipwig]

@@Ephieites Indeed, sir. There were no 'good guys' in the First or Second World War. We British and the Americans like to sell ourselves as the good guys - but it's bullshit and propaganda. No defence of anyone involved. Condemnation all round. But that, from my safe position in posterity. Peace xB

[@frogblasttheventcore69]

soviets are truly wholesome 100 keanu chungus reddit gold breathtaking because they just like to drink and talk funny! plus the japanese invented anime so any warcrimes are invalidated.

[@starperro4441]

I'm glad i found your channel. At last a bat. rep. for bolt on par with 40k quality and passion! cheers!

[@artbagley1406]

Love the cheeky -- and funny! -- commentary: "One man can do an American football-style home run and dive over the line." Humorous mixed metaphors: are they approved weapons in warfare?! "He [the medic] can inject him with a mysterious liquid," is another example! (1:40:05)

[@Outlawtex]

The man sounds like hes gonna give a non televized report on an actual ww2 battle then head straight to nightly sports news about the derby😂

[@ArchaiKM]

I just got into the game after stumbling onto these videos, and I just found yours. I have to say you guys are a lot of fun to watch, you guys are having fun so we all have fun watching.

[@jsizzlesaurusrex]

Shoulda made the full regular infantry sections Mongolian cavalry on foot, giving them tough fighters. 😱

[@LonnieBrewster]

The machine gun on the tank isn't coaxial you can fire both only the early version of Ha Go you can't fire both. It's too cramped.

[@Mdhneo007]

Super happy to have discovered this channel. Keep it up!

[@ChrisS-fh7zt]

2units that I have for my Japanese and they really are a big threat is my Type 98 320mm spigot mortar and then my dual 13.2mm Type 93 heavy MG team. The spigot mortar is just like a heavy mortar except you use the 4 inch template then the nasty is you roll for D6 pins and what ever you roll you add 2 to it so you roll a 4 it is then a 6 or a 2 then it is 4 and so on. The dual HMG I use as a sort of softskin vehicle and anti sniper/weapons team threat as 6 shots is a good way of at least pinning anything that is not closed top. But it is expensive as it comes at 125 points regular!! Oh and you can shoot both the main gun and rear turret MG on the Type 97, it is the Type 95 Ha Go that is one or the other because of the 1 man turret rule.

[@Malino8835]

Tank riders are amazing! Little list/unit idea: the vodka supernova, one lend lease Stuart (all the guns) and a FAT 11-man, veteran, body armoured, tank rider squad! Gonna take this to my next game, massive points sink but it'll be interesting to see how it performs.

[@gankistani9528]

DA TAVARISH!!!! FORWARD! THE MAN WITH THE RIFLE SHOOTS, WHEN THE MAN WITH THE RIFLE DIES, THE MAN BEHIND HIM PICKS UP THE RIFLE AND SHOOTS!!!! ruvved it rong time @MG!!!!

[@torinjones3221]

4:50 the reason it isnt belt fed is the same reason the French, British and Italian machine guns were not belt fed. At the time mg belts were literally fabric belts and in tropical heat and humidity were these colonial empires were expecting to fight these would swell and cause the guns to jab and not feed correctly meaning you basically couldnt use your machine gun.

[@busterbrown3099]

Konflikt 47 is the answer to your closing debate. You can talk about all the “lore” you want then, as it’s no longer “history.” Tiki the Hut has figured it out. Just proxy in your 40k models.

[@BrandonMcDavid-ky7qo]

Check out the naval infantry and Ampulomet or your soviets. The fact the naval soldiers are all tough fighter and the amuplomets 2”HE and ability to set vehicles on fire is super useful.

[@t3hSpAdEs]

"An American Football style homerun" lol

[@garethsteel2893]

I’m confused I’ve not played bolt action long, but I’m pretty sure infantry can’t run across obstacles

[@dariostabletopminatures]

THE HORSE IS THE EXTRA MAN! TIKI!

[@dariostabletopminatures]

32:23 BANZAIIIII!

[@bobthegenestealer1313]

Curse you for making me pull for Double T again.

[@MordianGlory]

[@vincnetjones3037]

!945 Soviets would have a free SU76 rather than a infantry squad..... give him a couple of extra points to make him regular,,,,

[@konradtarasek5514]

When unstotable force meets unmovable object

[@arnantphongsatha7906]

Man, just as I'm starting a SNLF army too!

[@yokogaijinjr.5061]

This is gonna be fun

[@supersavage1345]

Brave infantry have made the ultimate sacrifice

[@LazyLas]

The LOREEEEE

[@beatjunky101]

"...scientifically proven to be bullshit!!" 🤣

[@danielplant3219]

When the video started with a Hoi 4 map I thought my KZbin had switched videos 😂

[@vincnetjones3037]

What no Panzer Faust with your Soviet Infantry......... Everyone else has them.........

[@Damnedlegion40k]

Add a comment... Question? How would I build/acquire an ANZAC/Kiwi army, obviously it would be British but what could I do to make it Kiwi?

[@Damnedlegion40k]

They're known for their artillery and pilots, thoughts?

[@jeffnorris3913]

Hats. Cool hats

[@meth_squirrel]

Mordian where do you get your terrain

[@vincnetjones3037]

T-34/76....really good choice, well done Guys.... and a little Bobby A/C with HMG and not open topped would have given a real plus.

[@Malino8835]

I'd say the BA-10 (or 3/6) is the superior armoured car.

[@raphaellugo2035]

BANZAI!!!!! I'm super glad we got a Japanese battle report! What would you do as a japanese player who is constantly facing forward air observers? Is the Type 98 20mm Gun worth investing in for that?

[@the_major_9117]

If you don’t mind mr mordian I’d love some tips on how you paint your japanese ?

[@MrWiwl]

You actually do want a machinegun with a lower rate of fire, the MG42 was adjusted to be a lower rof during the war because it wasn't necessary. You don't need to put 1200 rounds down range to be effective. Considering that german infantry doctrine literally surrounded the MG42 (the squad carried extra ammo for it, their job was to support the MG) you found a lot of german units surrendered after running out of ammo....which the 1200 rpm doesn't help. The vickers/maxim was the best machinegun for it's role,you need something to sit statically and put rounds down a range, it'll do that for 24 hours no problem. It might be their grandfathers weapon but it's extremely effective.

[@lastjedi1984]

NIce game. BANZAI!!!!

[@vincnetjones3037]

Guys..... 1945..... NO Commissars......

[@playalot3705]

Do bolt action minis come prepainted or do you need to paint them like warhammer minis?

[@ChrisS-fh7zt]

They come unpainted or based both box plastic, metal and now the new silo cast types. So you have to do it yourself, unless you buy pre made and owned.

[@themindofdirge3809]

3 months late but there are plenty of commission painters that can paint your minis for you as well.

[@talaananthes]

Just watched this for the first time and it reminds me why I miss Tom can you hire him back please? Or at least bring him back for the specials? Simon's fun but I miss the voices

[@DeathKorpsOfWrath]

He’s officially left the channel unfortunately, I miss him as well and put a lot of love into the batreps. He’s working with another KZbin channel, but I’ve taken his place to improve the editing quality, I hope you understand that now. 🫡

[@WinterWizard7]

More Japanese bat reps please!!!

[@dale09ify]

gib me more

[@kaipal5786]

Cool game, just try to remember you can’t pre-measure in bolt action

[@nickkobe9729]

Game is interesting. However, the "talker" distracts from the game. WAY to much talking! Distracts from the game.
