Things To Come: Background to the 'Attack of the Hill People' scenario: A YouTube video

This new video (which I uploaded yesterday) provides the background to a scenario that I fought over ten years ago.

The scenario is based on a section of Alexander Korda and H G Wells' film THINGS TO COME and depicts the attack by the Army of Everytown on the Army of the Hill People.

The video can be seen here on the Wargaming Miscellany YouTube channel.

    Bob, your video looks very professional! I look forward to seeing your video of the game inspired by the film.
    Perhaps in due course you will have the expertise to do Portable Wargame AARs using stop frame animation so the units appear to move from one grid area to another apparently of their own volition, which I have always thought would be the best way to present toy soldier wargames, after seeing it done with chess games on television years ago.
    Best wishes, Arthur

      Arthur1815 (Arthur),

      Cheers! I hope that my videos are getting better as I learn the necessary techniques. My earliest ones used MS PowerPoint but now I am using a combination of that program and Windows Video Editor.

      I'm not sure that at the moment I'm up to creating videos that use stop motion animation but I might be able to do something along the lines I used in my 'Attack on Morobad' video (i.e. animated arrows and clouds of smoke).

      All the best,

      Bob

      Bob, I loved the video! Can't wait to see the one of the actual battle (hint, hint...)

      Ian Dury,

      I uploaded the second video earlier today.

      I hope that you enjoy watching it.

      All the best,

      Bob

    A soundtrack always adds to a presentation. I've also always enjoyed that particular piece. Looking forward to the video of the game.

      Mark Cordone,

      I must admit that the soundtrack works well with this video … but I’m not sure that it’s going to be a regular feature of my future videos.

      All the best,

      Bob

      Martin S.,

      I’m very pleased to read that you enjoyed it. The follow-up video was uploaded earlier this morning and I hope that you enjoy it as much.

      As to being multi-talented … well, my wife wouldn’t agree as she thinks that I’m fairly useless when it comes to practical things like DIY!

      All the best,

      Bob

      Just watched the battle report…and was most impressed 👍🏼👍🏼. Are the figures from a recent (?) Imagi-Nations project, or have they been around a while? (I don’t recall seeing them in your posts over the last few years).

      Martin S.,

      Cheers! I'm glad that you enjoyed it.

      The figures were drawn from my World War II 20mm collection and are all Russian figures ... including Factory Militia.

      All the best,

      Bob
