STARGRAVE Battle Report, The Botched Deal, Rogues vs Constables

A band of spacefaring rogues attempts to recover valuable contraband hidden on a backwater planet. Unfortunately, the local constabulary gets wind of the caper, and they want the loot for themselves. Join us as we play our first-ever game of Stargrave, science fiction wargames in the ravaged galaxy. #stargrave #battlereport #wargaming

Great batrep, and it's wonderful to see those old Mordians in action.

[@kirestus]

HELL YEAH! im organizing a virual game with an old friend and kitbashing together a crew in my free time!

[@kirestus]

Update on the game. He absolutely smoked me. I did manage to get one treasure though

[@ninjamania]

Very nice set up. Fun looking video!

[@matthewnowachek2229]

Sweet! I have really been looking forward to a new batrep! Thanks for posting!!

[@calvanoni5443]

Good time.😊

[@OspreygamesUk]

Great video guys. Glad you could squeeze one in.

[@housecaldwell]

Really makes me want to get my team on the table! Now if only our 2 kids would give us time to do that....

[@rioploon]

Very nice! It will be interesting to see what you come up with in the future. Stargrave looks like a lot of fun. If only time was free. :)

[@kierdalemodels]

Good stuff for your first game of SG👍 and nice terrain. I really like the cracked chemical tank.

[@Laquiox]

Excellent batrep as usual. I have been looking forward to your first Stargrave batrep since it is your channel that brought the game to my attention. Looking forward to more on your channel.

[@LilacMage]

Yall convinced me to buy this game.

[@j453]

What’s that alien/xeno dog?

[@oldhammered]

He's from an EM4 Miniatures metal figure set: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaKWgatsj9-EjpIsi=y3QC7XRScP-G8JEr

[@SeeSebastian]

need to run some tallarns for this game

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

Tallarns make great fringers and mercenaries

[@kindermord]

Great stuff. Thank you.

[@SMunozDB7]

You made me aware of Star Grave and thanks to you im deeply excited to organize a game of it with my friends together for the first time in more than a year. Thank you so much for your passionate coverage of skirmish wargames

[@matthewnowachek2229]

Awesome! I have not played it, but it will definitely be added to my list!

[@rza6128]

Wow I used that exact commissar to lead my own Mordians, he fits them so well. MIght have to dig them out, but for now have been using the old imperial army and navy troopers from Star Wars West End for my crew. Great report, looking forward to more!

[@1crlski]

Good batrep, you may not have known all the rules but you did make things clear. really liked you table set up, how big was your play area? I think the book recommends 3'x3'. Looking forward to seeing both your real crews in action :)

[@oldhammered]

Thanks Chris. Glad you liked it. Yep, that's a 3x3. We're also going to try playing the game on a 30x22 mat, with smaller crews, to speed up gameplay.

[@1crlski]

@@oldhammered Ah, the other game plays I've seen are all right around an hour to and hour 15, so I think once you are familiar with the rules things will go quicker on that size play area and full crew

[@evanlindsey1100]

I've been liking how you alternate between long shots of the main action, and then zoom in on the actual fights.

[@colerape]

Great job. I have watched everything on youtube up to now...and yours is the best hands down. You weren't able to finish, but given the constraints and lack of time to prep this was fantastic. (Thank you for talking through the rolls and rules that is why I watch playthroughs...so far you are the only people to do this).

[@konradborowiecki]

More of Stargrave please. I love your style!

[@oldschoolfrp2326]

These figures subbed in just fine. Ive always liked the idea of using Mordian figures as security troops, perhaps 2nd-tier below the Arbites

[@bricksblocksgaming8017]

Your filming style made it really easy to follow and the color/details on you figures also made it easy to tell which figures were which. The sound effects were a nice touch - the noise the hound made when it activated made me think of an automatic hand sanitizer or paper towel dispenser which I thought was kind of funny. All around, great battle report!

[@sportjunk70]

Great report, clear and easy to follow for a new player; by the way, what do you mean when you refer to things as a "wash"? Thanks for posting.

[@oldhammered]

Hey there. We sometimes say it's a "wash" when the pluses and minuses cancel each other out, leaving just an unmodified die roll. Glad you enjoyed the vid!

[@lexkooby]

Your videos are great - very helpful to those of us just getting into the hobby. I know this is an old video, so not sure if you still look at comments, but do you remember what type of mat that is you used in the video?

[@oldhammered]

I believe that’s the Western Waste mat from Tablewar.

[@lexkooby]

@@oldhammered Thanks!

[@alexfernandez9290]

nice terrain, where did you get those houses?

[@oldhammered]

Hi Alex. I believe that's a mix of Airfix resin buildings and Plastcraft foam sheet buildings. The shipping containers are from AT-43.
