I have finally finished the video that I was working on towards the end of June and I uploaded it to the Wargaming Miscellany YouTube channel earlier today. The video is entitled THE ATTACK ON MOROBAD: A PORTABLE COLONIAL WARGAME.
It lasts just under 36 minutes and includes a reasonably detailed blow-by-blow retelling of a Colonial wargame fought using the simple rules from THE PORTABLE COLONIAL WARGAME (i.e. 'The Gatling's jammed ...'), and I hope that it help people to understand how the main PORTABLE WARGAME mechanisms used in the rules work.
The video can be found here on the Wargaming Miscellany YouTube channel.

36 minutes!?! I'll need popcorn for this one!
ReplyDeleteSadly viewing will have to wait until after work...
Maudlin Jack Tar,
DeleteIt is a bit repetitive in parts as I explain how each combat is resolved. As for the popcorn .. well, that sounds like an excellent idea!
All the best,
Bob
I've enjoyed all of the previous videos that you've made, so I'll savour this one whilst I'm painting some 1930s French cruisers.
ReplyDeleteAndy Hussey,
DeleteI hope that you enjoy both!
All the best,
Bob
A very good demonstration video. No one should have any difficulty playing the game after watching it.
ReplyDeleteMark Cordone,
DeleteThanks very much for your kind comment. That's exactly the sort of response that I wanted to the video.
All the best,
Bob
Thanks for posting the video Bob. Having watched it, I'm taking the plunge to buy a bunch of your Portable Wargame books on Wargames Vault - of course, their Summer Sale helped me make that decision!
ReplyDeleteAlso watched your other videos and enjoyed them as well! Please keep up the good work!
Colinmnash,
DeleteGreat! I hope you get lots of fun and enjoyment using the rules.
I am currently preparing another video in which I will explain the design thinking behind the rules as well as the basic mechanisms. You might find that useful to watch when it comes out.
All the best,
Bob
