Aye, iniative orders are
within 12″ of enemy
before brigade commanders order
1 move

John Severn replied to the topic Disorderly Retreats in the forum Black Powder 3 months, 3 weeks ago

I would say yes, it is an initiative order and for that you need to be within 12″. It may not get you out of range of the enemy but it does leave a space for you to move fresh troops into.

So, looks like you are using WLPS (WarLord Points System – the rulebook points) …. this isnt that great espically with regards to the refit costs! As a general rule of thumb I suggest only using WLPS for learning the game or quickly putting a last minuete game together at a club… A good indercation is how type93s can be either 5 or 10 points…[Read more]

Hello all, it’s been a while.

Right now I’m trying to put together two, roughly balanced 1000 pt fleets for casual play based on what I got in the Battle for the Pacific starter box, plus a few additional models. Here’s where I’m at right now:

USN 1000 Points,
Portland class heavy cruiser
x2 Northampton class heavy cruisers
Cleveland class light…[Read more]

Thanks very much for such an informative reply, greatly appreciated.

I know at Borodino it was reported that the light cavalry division of the Corp V had a regiment of Hussars, Chasseurs and Uhlan only.

On page 51 it states “If a player wishes, a disordered unit can use an initiative order to make a disorderly retreat. This is exactly like an ordinary initiative order, except that the unit can only be instructed to move away from the closest enemy”.

Does this mean you still have to be with 12″ of the enemy to carry out this move, as this is…[Read more]

So a quick check in “master of the World” ESR campaign guide for the 1812 invasion of Russian [ I do love the colour plates they’ve put in for all the units involved (ok standard french line & light have indications rather that 100% of them) ]….And yes the DoW did wear French uniforms… the DoW ARE NOT the same as the Vistula Legion – they were…[Read more]

I’m looking at adding some light cavalry regiments to my Duchy of Warsaw list (other than Uhlans), I’m I correct that the uniforms for Polish Hussars and Chasseurs are the same as the French for the 1812 period. So I could proxy and paint up French minis?

Black Powder? BP Epic?

might be best asking this question in the game specific channel as you’ll get a quicker response (most people dont look at this part of the forum)

John Ogden started the topic Disorderly retreat in the forum General Discussion 4 months ago

Do you have to be in the proximity of an enemy to carry out a disorderly retreat.

Tomasz Rejf replied to the topic Death and the Landsknecht query in the forum Pike & Shotte 4 months ago

In the book, the French Gendarmes d’Ordonnance, the Italian and Venetian Famiglia di Casa units have the same stats, but their costs are different. The Gendarmes d’Ordonnance costs 64 points (page 44), while the Famiglia di Casa costs 62 points (page 38 & 40). Should the Italian cavalry have a lower stat? Maybe one less HtH die? That’s two points.

Hi:

Any thoughts on when the Chinese armies list will be updated for play with the 3rd Edition Rules? looking forward to putting my Warlord back on the table.

Nat replied to the topic Armies of Great Britain V3 in the forum Bolt Action 4 months, 2 weeks ago

The problems is that you are talking about ‘acquired’ ie NOT issued.. its not recorded how many units acquired stuff because.. its wasnt official, or uniform – & lets be honest as per the other issues people have noticed not surprising that its not there..

motor battalion rifle section:
8 men, NCO + transports driver had SMGs, 1 Bren & 5 rifles…[Read more]

Donald Linn replied to the topic Armies of Great Britain V3 in the forum Bolt Action 4 months, 2 weeks ago

Nat- for 1 and 2 , it was common in the late war for sections to have acquired extra automatic weapons- particularly in motor battalions. I think it should be an option for Late war regular and veteran sections.

as to 3, the Rule book list counts the 95mm as a Medium Howitzer no matter what tank it is fitted to!

Nat replied to the topic Armies of Great Britain V3 in the forum Bolt Action 4 months, 2 weeks ago

1 & 2 – yes …. standard British Army Sections only had one….. none standard units (paras, commando etc) did have multiple issued…

3 – ok… that makes me laugh /cry …
