My ‘French’ are very diversified, in fact there are hardly any French at this stage lol

I’m basing my collection the Grande Armee of 1812, lots of allied armies.  So far i have, Italians, Neapolitans, Baden, Westphalian, Polish and Saxon.  Its a start lol

I’m not surprised that Walord starts another  range and then……   Being one of the crazy that likes scratch building I’m less affected than many others. I had hoped for an exension to W I.  In fact most of my hobby budget of last year went into “hardware”, antique stuff up to 1918. Like the cap of a sailor from SMS Emden.

The last question has been answered by Skytrex when they took over the rage last month…. there are currently no plans to expand that range…

Why distribute rules with no models /plans for making the models – well a lot of historical games use multiple manufactors, plus you get the intrest of the company management but then not the sales to…[Read more]

It gives a fantastic OOB for the Grande Armee

I’m using this to build my 1812 armies, including DoW in 15mm, infact I’m using those very same 3d prints but obviously smaller.

From the OOB the 2nd and 14th Horse Artillery were attached to V Corps as Corps artillery.  The 3rd and 4th…[Read more]

This is a poorly written scenario.  I think the victory conditions are a misprint – it must mean the western edge.  Also, on Turn One I guess the Germans enter on the southern or eastern edge, like they do on Turn 3?  But it is not clear at all.  Best to just agree it with your opponent.

my view is that (as I’ve said else where) CA is a few ideas short of completion :p

but BRS v ground targets – see how many hex’s defending aircraft are away… thats how many turns go by before they turn up…half the turns (or turn 4 if not on the board) to turn up disadvantaged?

VaS idea… transports are free but you get a % of the BA points…[Read more]

I would go with the attacking force choosing the game…

IE if air units attack then its BRS (either airstrike or sqn v sqn)
if sea unit then its VaS or CS…

For VaS v transports I would see how many transports / proxies for them I have and then allocate BA army points to each transport with 10-20% allocated to convoy protection

ie a 1K BA…[Read more]

Whilst I don’t see any reason you can’t play out an air-raid on a unit using Airstrike, or an attack on transported units using VaS/CS I would point out that in the first case there is no air defence, so it would simply be attack aircraft vs. Flak with no real penalty for the attacker.

In the second case, again there should be no warships in the…[Read more]
