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.

I know you’ve mentioned on the podcast about not being sure about posting some things because of views, etc. Please post whatever it is you want to post. Stuff like this is really interesting, and while I know I won’t speak for everybody, it’s refreshing to see somebody so enthusiastic about something. Showing us what you’re passionate about is special and personable

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.

The Spanish faction is in dire need of our Sharpe equivalent: We had a traditional TV series about a band of rogues surviving under french occupation called Curro Jimenez. Bad guys, horseback riding in the mountains and blunderbusses.

Absolutely bloody great to see you doing non-GW vids mate, they're getting too expensive for average earners so other avenues are being explored with gusto at the moment. There's so many good value makers out there that just don't get anywhere near enough coverage currently

Thanks so much for the spotlight on such a great game (and for featuring my Russians). Aaron and I have really enjoyed the few games we played.

[chrisfahnestock]

Peachy is now a chosen man 💯💯💯💯 the thumbnail alone is just 👍👍👍👍👍

If Joan of arc can put on armour and become a saint, I’m sure some napoleonic French woman can put on a hat and wear fancy trousers. Love the idea of the dishonoured noble leading

[Grumblerminiatures]

Awesome. Thank you for highlighting this ruleset.

[spikeydood]

Hey Peachy you have really hit your stride now and the format is awesome. Just being your enthusiastic and informed self is coming over so well. All of Joseph’s games are awesome and there is one element that he always includes (thankfully) and that is solo play. It would be a massively interesting part 2 to this video to hear you talk about solo play, the available scenarios but mostly to hear you talk about your thoughts on the mechanics and ideas for scenario building. Keep on being you mate, we are lapping it up.

[Gryndir]

I love that you go through all the different sections, the background, show off what you have, do a build tutorial, etc. It's great to have it all in one place and really inspires me to jump into the game

[HeinousinAppearance]

I had never heard of this game.

I am now in love with it. Thanks!

[lashleynationallibrary]

This video has been sitting in my watch later for 2 months. Finally had enough free time to do a bit of hobby and listen to Peach. It's a wonderful day!

The design of the Silver Bayonet rulebook looks really classy. I like the show and tell video format - very relaxed and interesting.

[Bucket_Boy]

Peachy, as a wargamer who has little interest in Napoleonics, the other day I watched an entire documentary about the 95th rifles because of you! XD

[ArhainHainar]

Would love for you to a horse painting guide after seeing your cavalry in this

[MrLordi]

I heard of this game a while back. Your mention on the podcast reminded me I should look into it. Looks cool even while I'm not a historical wargame player, or am I particularly interested in the time period, but adding the supernatural element makes it definitely more my cup of tea.

[mddrum]

Thank you for making such brilliant content for us Peachy! I always loved seeing big napoleonic miniatures dioramas in museums as a kid! Silver Bayonet looks awesome!

Also love how you did that quick zombie kitbash. Buy the book and single Perry box, what an incredible entry point.
