The CHEAPEST & EASIEST way of getting into Wargaming?!

[@NapGod]

One thing I've noticed - youtubers tend to put out short videos 10-20 mins long, usually no more than 30, but for us listening while we hobby we want something longer. The less I have to look up and fiddle with finding a new video the better. So, I think there might be an algorithmic use for longer videos like this. They're more helpful, too. A lot of why I hadn't gotten into Silver Bayonet was in addition to the hesitation before investing in a new game I also don't play historicals and have no idea about Napoleonics. After watching this video, I feel comfortable with the entire thing from modelling and painting to rules and whatever. This was great thank you.

[@PeachyTips]

That’s really useful feedback bud, much appreciated, and though these longer form videos are a bit of effort to edit, it’s so much fun to make. Glad your enjoying the content, thanks again Peachy

[@handlechar568]

​@@PeachyTips dunno if this also helps, but i tend to watch longer videos like yours, and juggz and the like, in parts over a few days. maybe other people do that too. i hope that doesn't mess up your viewing metrics somehow 😅

[@PeachyTips]

@@handlechar568honestly I’m not fussed if it did, as I imagine most folks including myself do that….sod the metrics 😂

[@NikButler]

agreed .. If im sitting to Hobby , make , paint , kit bash then I need hour longs at least. If im sitting to listen over lunch or whilst sorting paperwork then shorter is always better

I love the idea of doing a Silver Bayonet warband using Hornblower as inspiration. A captain, a few royal marines, some sailors. Could even get a nice MDF frigate with interior to recreate Draculas passage on the Demeter but this time he's wound up on a Royal Navy ship.

Star Wars Legion has been my Warhammer getaway. You can build a pretty complete army with the core box and then a battleforce box. If you split the core with a friend the total cost of both is something like £150-180 which for example would get you if you went with the CIS/ Droids: x2 General Grievous (different poses), x3 units of Droidekas, x6 units of B1 Battle droids, x1 Magnaguard unit and an AAT tank. Which is over the 800 point army limit and that's before upgrading stuff.

I also like the idea that any civilian who's shown aptitude for dealing with the supernatural might get pulled into the unit, regardless of race or sex... if a gal has staked a vampire, then she has had more success than basically everybody, congratulations, we're teaching you to shoot and you better get out there for queen and country.

[@kapitankapital6580]

I don't know if it's mentioned in the video but if you're interested in a very real woman who fought and led troops in the Napoleonic Wars you need look no further than Agustina of Aragon. During the Siege of Zaragoza she was bringing supplies to a Spanish artillery battery which was routed by French infantry, but instead of running away she rushed in and fired a cannon off, shredding several of the enemy. This action inspired the men to return to their posts and drive off the French assault. She later went on to become a low level leader among the guerrillas and, at least according to legend, became the only female officer to serve under Wellington during the Peninsula Campaign.

[@piotrjeske4599]

There were a lot women in the revolutionary armies. And l don't mean just camp help etc

[@PeachyTips]

I remember reading something about this. I wonder if she was the inspiration for Sharpes Partizan wife Teresa 🤔

[@piotrjeske4599]

​@@PeachyTipssutlers were a common sight in the armies of XVIIIth and XIXth century. Often following brothers, fathers , husbands or lovers in to the army . The late revolutionary/early napoleonic armies tried to limit their numbers till the battle of Austerlitz where two sutlers Helena Kurdwanów and Joanna Śubrowa were crucial in rallying the troops. Joana Żubr , joined her husband in the army distingished hereself in the 1807 and 1812 campaign for which she was decorated(Virtuti military the first woman to earn it) and achived the rank of 2ed lieutenant. And this three are just the ones (especialy in the Spanish war) who fought and achived military rank. There were a lot of women like this in the russian, french and spanish forces. Not so many in the english or prussian armies, but not that were non. Friederike Krüger was a famouse prussian "wild" corpral in the prussian army . The Austria army made up for it. And when l say that there were fewer women in some armies , l am talking about trooper. Both the Prussian and British army had a "few"[3-4k] women in their camps, who in the case of a camp attack fought. Forgering and getting in contact with locals or enemy? They fought. There is at least one example from 1808, that l know of, where a firefight between two sutler groups turned in to a small battle, when both armies decided to "save" their women from the enemy.

[@droxford-1880]

Dear Mr. Peachy This more colourful and weird take on the Napoleonic wars reminds me of a story I once heard surrounding the death of George Washington. Apparently soon after Washington died in 1799, a physician (and family friend) by the name of Dr. William Thornton crafted a plan to "resuscitate" the dead General through a combination of blood transfusion, warming, and galvanism(the "science" which inspired Dr Frankenstein and pioneered by Lugi Galvani). Ultimately Washington's wife shot the idea down, yet the question still remains what would have come from a successful operation. One of the more wild ideas that floats through my mind is that of Napoleon and his penchant towards "ye oldie Wunderwaffe" such the nautilus submarine, grenade launchers, hot air balloons exedra. Imagine this, its 1813 Napoleon is sitting in camp the night after the disastrous the battle of the nations, and while brooding over his defeat the silhouette of Galvani (or Dr. Thornton) appears at his tents opening offering to really "galvanize" Napoleons recent losses. Given the dire state of the French army's manpower Napoleon accepts.

For example the Ionian Islands were changing hands all the time. Imagine that all the great archaeological excavations of the 19th and 20th century have not happen yet. So you can run wild with Ancient Greek connections and relics. You want Gothic horror? I will give you Gothic Horror, not just because the Balkans are so connected with vampires, but because you can draw a direct line to the original gothic horror writers like Percy and Marry Shelley and their friend Lord Byron who actually ended up in Greece initially as a tourist, but stayed as a revolutionary. What if he was hunting for something… beyond this world? You also have the popular myth of the last Emperor Constantine IX, taken the last moment from the battlefield by an angel and turned to marble, with the promise to return, in a very Arthurian motif. What if our adventurers search for Constantine in order to bring him to life and kick the Ottomans out, like the legend said, but in the end encounter something more than they thought?

Cheers Stephen 😘

[@PedroBaele]

Love your presentation with Napoleonic Zombies rushing through osgiliath to the ruined lethis barracks ... In the hopes of finding their lost souls from the star gods. Now that is true narrative wargaming ... Some mini's looked as they could step right onto turnip28 battlefield aswell ... So much flexibility. 👍🏻

[@PeachyTips]

Tbh I think there’s a lot of fun crossover opportunities between silver bayonet and Turnip28. 😍👍

[@lonemoose1]

Quick suggestion, how about making a Sharpe-based crew for Stargrave? I would love to see Captain Sharpe, Harps and the rest of the gang in a galaxy far, far away, boldly going where no man has gone before. Thanks for another great video by the way! 🙂

[@PeachyTips]

Now that’s a smashing idea!!! And it would be rude not to do it 😂 B@STARD CHOSEN STAR CREW!

[@MarmadukeRupe]

Been hyped for this video ever since it came up on Juggz. Very excited to get to grips with this game. Thanks for sharing your interest!

[@KirksDouble]

Great video with some great miniatures in there, I loved the idea of this when it came out (having played Frostgrave a load), bought up loads of Perry miniatures that I’d l coveted for a while, built 2 warbands and creatures (did the same conversions with the zombies, except the foot thing which is a great tip) then the momentum fell off as no one around me wanted to play. I will paint them but, with limited time, games I do get to play take precedent. I’d love to see a series of Silver Bayonet!

[@ComandaKronikk]

We love you Peachy! This content is ideal. I never thought I'd see a zombie Obediah. You announcing that you will be doing Sharpe themed napoleonic gothic horror battlereports has made this by far the best day of my life.

[@scannerbarkly]

I know this video was undoubtedly your most work intensive, but it's also probably my favorite on the channel so far.

[@PeachyTips]

😍🙏😍 it was a bit of a beast to edit, but I really enjoyed making it, and thank you for the compliment, makes it all the more worthwhile 🫶

[@Hungry4GOREjapan]

As somebody who has only just returned to the hobby (after decades) but who is also someone who is not overly interested in 40K, I am loving all the games you are currently featuring!! I’ve been reading about Silver Bayonet for a while and your vid has made me finally go for it order a bunch of the Perry Sprues! So cheers! It might also be worth having a look at Dead Mans hand if you are unaware of it, it’s an old West Skirmish game and their Plastic Gunfighters are AWESOME

[@PeachyTips]

Cheers for the comment 😍 it’s so much fun making theses other game vids, and chuffed it has inspired other to give these games a go. Also i have recently seen deadman’s hand and do fancy giving that a go too….that among many others lol

[@DjigitDaniel]

Excellent video, great ramble, well done. 👏🏻

Love the zombie conversion, so simple but effective. Looking forward to some battle reports!

This is brilliant peachy

[@PeachyTips]

Yaaay! I’m pleased you enjoyed it, I do have plans to cover loads more cool games so stay tuned

[@jhnlk]

@ I’m still building a warband for frostgrave after you and dice chatter talked about it. Something like silver bayonet would be my first dive into napoleonic type worlds. I’m ready for more gateway games. 😂

[@PeachyTips]

@@jhnlk it really is an excellent gateway from fantasy/horror to historical adjacent stuff....big fan of this type of game

[@nathanlovin]

Excited to watch Peach talk about this! I recently started a force to play Sludge. Silver Bayonet is an easy game to double up with but I haven’t looked too much into it yet. I’ve heard great things about it!

[@PeachyTips]

It would appear I’m just scratching the surface of amazing games, so lots more things to discuss down the line

[@WorldBleeder]

Another great video Peachy! I've always been curious about historic games but as you mentioned, it always felt like there was a hurdle to getting into it. This also scratches the fantasy horror itch which piques my interest even more. Also always like to see your hobby and painting tutorials. Keep up the great content!

[@PeachyTips]

Cheers 😍😍😍 I’m pleased you’re enjoying the vids. 😘

[@BecauseOfDragons]

Really like the longer format videos of you discussing games like The Silver Bayonet etc. If you want some really, really, really nice Napoleonic-era miniatures maybe check out Piano Wargames if you've not already. Their miniatures are sublime AND they do some great civilians who would be perfect for The Silver Bayonet.

[@PeachyTips]

Oooh I’ve never heard of this company, which is great as I love finding new mini companies, but also annoying as I could’ve used some of these in my vids lol.

[@adamcharman8726]

I really like this format Peachy! Listening to you talk about all your models and seeing examples gave me so many ideas for my own little Silver Bayonet warband

[@PeachyTips]

That’s awesome! Glad that the video has inspired to get some creative juices flowing for your own warbands

[@curtiswiley5293]

This video and your Frostgrave video are my two favorite videos you've made! I will definitely be picking up the rule books and a couple of sprues with my next paycheck. Keep up the great work!

[@PeachyTips]

😍🙏😍 thanks Curtis! I’m super chuffed you enjoyed those videos, was a tone of fun making them too. And do share any pics on my socials if you get any warbands painted

[@TrueKami]

Silver Bayonet is an amazing game. I personally the Silver Bayonet Canada supplement , it's great fun being able to play a french Canadien warband or even a trading compagnie .

[@PeachyTips]

That’s cool, it’s the one book I still need to grab, recently got Egypt which is mega

[@TrueKami]

Egypt looks like it's great fun.Oh by the way if you want to make a United-States warband , the rules are in the Canada book.

[@hooliganblack832]

I share your approch to games: 1. Oooh! This seems cool. 2. Read, read, read (and a bit of watch). 3. Paint, paint, paint (you're faster and better) 4. Now, does anybody else want to play? 5. No? Solo it is then! Never change. It allows me to feel not alone in this cycle of madness.

[@PeachyTips]

Hahaha! That’s exactly my process…..YAAAAY! I’m not alone 🤣

[@explody7836]

Yesterday, I rewatched The Duellists and thought, for the first time in my life, "Maybe I should give Napoleonic stuff a whirl." Unfortunately, historical games really aren't my cup of tea, for whatever reason, and even if I could get into the conceits, I also kind of can't stand painting for historical accuracy, so I kind of shrugged it off since I really wouldn't have much use for the figures once they were painted. Now, though, I'm all in on snagging a few sprues of random Napoleonic minis so I can smash them together and make some secret monster hunting specialist unit with unique uniforms and whatnot. Thanks for the video, this is great!

[@PeachyTips]

They’re a lot of periods they don’t interest me, but every know and then a game or range cones out and I find myself being drawn in, much like your feelings towards the napoleonic stuff. It’s a great game and I hope you have fun making an elite squad of badass monster slayers

[@Phoney72]

I was going to put a giant scope on my rifleman's baker rifle. You know, like that solider who was going to snipe Napoleon at Waterloo in that film everyone loved😅

The Dnd miniatures are a great source of monster miniatures - and not over priced for what they are.

[@tethys17]

Dead mans hand is another good one. It has a Red Dead Redemption Undead nightmare style expansion if you want historical mixed with fantasy.

[@sim2570]

SB is really a great game that can really easily be adapted to any era you want to play, like you said, just need some little tweaks here and there! ..Another COoL video! Cheers :)

[@Grumblerminiatures]

Awesome. Thank you for highlighting this ruleset.

[@PeachyTips]

My pleasure! i hope you get to enjoy it as much as i am

[@Pork-Pie-Pete81]

I like the idea of a miniature cap, so many skirmish games have enormous warbands that make play far too lengthy. Silver Bayonet sounds great. It already has the creative juices flowing. Im imagining a Garrow type captain scouring battlefields for specialists to create the ultimate team to fight the undead threat. The wallet is only just getting over your last recommendation, I picked up a copy of Frostgrave at the games expo.

[@PeachyTips]

Haha! Sorry about that lol, well at least with Frostgrave and Silver Bayonet, it’s only 18 minis….plus books obviously 😬👀

[@buntsbanter1380]

I'm absolutely loving these long form vids- would absolutely tune in to the Sharpe-themed Silver Bayonet mini campaign.

Such a great game. My friend and I played through all the missions in the original book, and that attracted a bigger group to play through the missions in the next. We are all in Toronto, so looking forward to making our way through the Canada book. It is such a solid game.

[@francislelievre5172]

Napoleonic wars range from 1799-1815, with Napoleon crowning himself a counter Emperor on december 2 1804, the last H.R. Emperor Francis II of Habsburg-Lorraine abdicated on August 6 1806 in part due to the Battle of Austerlitz & subsequent Peace of Pressburg (december 1805). so there is a time window where your H.R.E. army still had full imperial funding & support & then the fall from grace revenge missions.

[@cyriltournier]

I loved this video! I didn't know this game, so thank you for the discovery! I've always liked skirmish games with a strong theme. I still play Test of Honour whenever I can.

[@PeachyTips]

😍😍 well im glad you you enjoyed the vid, the game is pretty cool, test of honour is also great too
