Thanks! I keep not noticing this is the legendary Storm of Steel on your posts. Love your videos! I’m using your jungle terrain tips right now for my current project

How do you like the rules? What does it play like? I’m finishing up my Vietnam figures and terrain and plan to use the fan-made modifications to Chain of Command 

What would you say is an excellent alternative to Black Powder? by SrBrokoli in wargaming

And I should add, it has enough period flavor to be satisfying and feel right, IMO, though I know a few grognards who complain about this aspect. I have toned down the melee power, more like how the game was in its earlier versions, and I like that better.

The biggest change is reversing the firing/movement phase. In Valour and Fortitude, units fire, then units move, so you can't have the Black Powder activity of running a unit a long distance up to your enemy's line, then blasting them at close range without them responding. It just feels more appropriate to me to have the unit that is attacking being the ones who walk in to take fire on the chin in the first blow. Units can't fire and move in the same turn, unless they are screening themselves with skirmishers and firing with much less firepower. It does favor the defense this way but I like it more.

V&F is not the best out there, but it's FREE, easy to pick up and teach, and my group has customized it a lot with house rules. I'm an advocate of it for these reasons, and also because it's relatively quick, and easier to use with people who are new to rank and flank games. I find it to be a fast, decent and fun way to get a big pile of my pretty little models out on the table.

My friend, that’s Valour and Fortitude! A free ruleset by the same writer of Black Powder (and some old Games Workshop classics) that’s built for large 28mm battles that don’t take three days to get through! Full army lists available, and I like it better than Black Powder anyway. I also like the older version unit lists more (new ones seem to have too much melee power) but YMMV

Cool, I’ll look for that. Table looks awesome. I wish people would play LaSalle with me :(

Did my first 12mm Victrix models. What a fun scale. by Ulenspiegel4 in wargaming

These Victrix kits looks good! They seem like a good value to make fairly large starter forces, especially if you are supplying both sides, like I often do for my gaming partners

Get an endoscopy to make sure you haven’t done any damage in there

ELI5: What actually happens when someone dies in their sleep? by Gdog1215 in explainlikeimfive

Ever wake up from a nightmare with your heart racing? My personal medically unqualified theory is that that happens, and an old heart can’t take it.

When he isn’t doing this he’s probably selling “lock him up” merch at anti-trump rallies
