Last year I started making some battle reports of my own game, Command Combat: Civil War, to spread word of the game and hopefully build interest. Unfortunately, no one watched because no one knew the game. I figured I'd do a video of a game they do like, Flames of War. I figured this would bring people to the channel, then they'd watch more about my own game. This didn't really work in that they didn't come and switch over to my game, but tons of people watched our Flames of War videos. In fact, Battlefront, which makes Flames of War, placed our videos on their site and we started getting thousands of hits.
I also saw how a lot of videos based on computer games were getting a lot of hits, so I did those. My girlfriend and I got to having so much fun doing these things that we branched out into several other videos, until it became unclear what our channel was about. Some who had come to look at Civil War stuff were particularly confused.
And so we're making a new channel called Bandwagon which will include everything from the battle reports to the video games to a review show to board games to history lessons to ways to build and paint miniatures. We've taped almost everything, and it goes live at the beginning of October.
