Such a cool creative idea, the map looks amazing!

[@rfwm]

Sorry I had no idea that I clicked on a "Yogscast" video. I feel like I was reunited with an old childhood friend when I heard Lewis's voice in the beginning. I didn't know it was him until I saw his name appear on screen. Damn thanks for making a 22 year old feel like a 40 year old. Also thank you for making my childhood special!!!

[@GamesNight]

For those wanting to know where we got our tank builds from, we used designs from buildarmy.com

[@RetlocGaming]

It looks like you made some small modifications to them. I wish Kos shows a design for a Panzer IV with the skirts like you guys had. Regardless, loved this video. My cousin got me into Flames of War, so I got into videos like these!

[@Djevans7]

Where did you get the plans for the terrain from? Or was that all you guys?

[@brendanjohnston4676]

I know I'm rather late to the party, but a quick question. Given these models are just a tad smaller than the normal ones, did you change up the rules for movement, and if so, how so? I'm rather enamored with these lego designs, but I'm not certain how to apply the movement rules.

[@-moongorilla-]

​@@brendanjohnston4676also interested in the answer to this. BuildArmy says they aim for roughly 1:90 scale, vs the official bolt action being roughly 1:50, so I assume they'd just halve all the distances. Caveat: I've never played bolt action, so don't know if there's some specific rules where this would cause problems (I have however placed a BuildArmy order so that I can give it a try!)

[@bullpupluver]

This comment should be pinned as someone else said. That being said I am now the proud owner of more tanks than the modern Russian military

[@matthewhinton2960]

I like to imagine Ben stole his boy’s Lego to do this

[@TheCoolCucumber]

I reckon Ben's boy's LEGO was Ben's LEGO first, lol. That stuff always gets passed down to the next generation (so that mom or dad has even more excuse to play with their LEGO collection because they're "playing with their kid")

[@johnlandon8741]

I do wanna see more of their mini's for bolt action for sure, but man do the lego forces look great and is very nostalgic

[@ArathirCz]

I guess it can be combined together. Mini's for soldiers and lego for either the whole terrain or for destructible terrain features (bridges, houses, etc.)

The three t34s missing or not penetrating is so accurate it's hilarious

[@TheNugettinage]

No no they were being inaccurate not accurate

[@thelordofcringe]

@@TheNugettinage Accuracy by inaccuracy!

[@alphaprawns]

Eh not really. They're T-34-85s, which handily had enough armour penetration to deal with a Tiger 1 with their 85mm guns. It's more tabletop dice luck than anything to do with IRL vehicle performance.

[@thelordofcringe]

@alphaprawns T-34-85 had the same gunners sight manufacture issues as it's predecessors. Estimates range heavily, but up to a third had sights so poorly made that they had constant condensation and blur inside the sight. And that's not to mention that a tiger will absolutely resist the 85mn when angled, so keep in mind that since war thunder isn't real life, tanks weren't funneled into specific map lanes ensuring they face head on. They were almost always engaging at some angle or another.

[@garr_inc]

On that point, it was surprising how well Pyrion replicated the "Ура". While also reinforcing the "soviet wave assault" stereotype about WW2, among quite a few.

[@GlockenGold19]

Somehow, they managed to make a miniature war game more expensive! The absolute mad lads

[@DarthMalnu]

Amazing! We... borrow.. my sons plastic army men for our game. Those little green dudes have gotten a significant increase in tactical ability since I was a lad for sure.

[@_Hamler]

The Silver Fox now has 136 for his tank kills! Though, with how injured that last tank looked I reckon it's 137.

It is only rifht to overclaim.

[@JakeTheSnake358]

I had never heard of 'Bolt Action' before. The mini-Lego vehicles and figures made this very fun and entertaining. I would love to see more Lego war creations (Tanks, Trains, & planes) maybe even some battle ships, the limitations are endless and very visually appealing when using Lego.

This weirdly reminds me of Girls und Panzer, an anime about schoolgirls doing mock tank battles in real WWII-era tanks. The way your T34s were whipping around that Tiger trying to get a good shot at its rear armor was phenomenal, and all the models and setpieces looked smart as heck. Good show!

2:45 small correction here, by 1943 roughly half of the USSR's T-34 fleet had radio transmitters/receivers in them, with the People's Commissar of Tank Production Malyshev ordering radio's installed on all new and refurbished T-34's by Sept 1, 1943. That order was Issued on July 28th 1943, in Order of the People's Commissar of Tank Production of the USSR #447

[@alderkm7901]

The best advantage of Lego is that you can take apart and rebuild the environment and play pieces into whatever configuration you desire. With table top getting more expensive, Lego might be a good alternative since you can just buy the pieces you need, not full-on sets.

[@sirrathersplendid4825]

Best thing about Lego is it’s destructible. You can adjust the buildings and terrain as it gets damaged. Oh, and even the tanks and vehicles too!

[@barcod11]

Could you upload an instruction guide for the models used in the video? Would love to buy a box of bits and build a few armies for me and my friends to play with

[@stemes2860]

I have the pieces of for the soldiers sorted out, but not the tanks yet

[@ItsA72]

The T34 is a Soviet medium tank from World War 2. When introduced, its 76.2 mm (3 inches) tank gun was more powerful than its contemporaries, and its 60-degree sloped armor provided good protection againts anti-tank weapons. The T-34 had a profound effect on the conflict on the Eastern Front, and had a long-lasting impact on tank design. The tank was praised by multiple German generals when encountered during Operation Barbarosa, although its armament and armor were surpassed later in the war. Though, its main main strength was its cost and production time, meaning that German panzer forces would often fight againts Soviet tank forces several times their size (1 Panzer vs 4 to 6 T-34s). The T-34 is also a critical part of the mechanized divisions that form the backbone of the Deep Battle Strategy.
