And I humbly and happily stand corrected, Garry. Thanks for pointing that out.

So, that means any unit that could lend support, wither it does or not has to make a break test should a that is in melee fail it’s break test. Yes.

I like these forums because we always have the opportunity to learn about the games we love. However on page 78 at the bottom of the first paragraph it reads ‘For purposes of this test, supporting units are considered to be such if they are theoretically  able to support regardless of whether they actually contribute a support bonus or…[Read more]

Yes it is added to the combat resolution. Hvy Cav +1 is approximately the equivalent of adding 3 close combat dice, so a big effect.

Sorry, Garry, I have to respectfully call you on the reply above where you say a unit “supports the combat or not” within a 6″ circle.

Units that do not support a unit within 6″ do not make a break test. Only units that support a unit that breaks make the test. The rules are on page 70 for supports and page 78 for support break tests in BP2ed.…[Read more]

and the units test whether they actually supported the combat or not, they just have to be within the 6inches.

Supporting units – pg 70, units within 6″ may support a unit in combat

pg 77 break tests – Supporting units test if the unit that they where supporting fails its break test.

I’d like your thoughts on the minimum size playing area you would want in order to include a Hunt Class ship in this scale, as I’ve just had a mate print off a Hunt II from the Wargaming 3D site (a genuine 1:300 size – almost a foot long!).  I’m going to use another mate’s D-Day+1 scenario in which four S-boats (one with radar) try to slip past…[Read more]

Yes, it is a little silly. It buys into the legend of the Roman’s invincible military strength, propaganda put forth mostly by ancient Roman sources (!). They were good, but not that good. If they were as amazing as they advertised, it wouldn’t have taken them YEARS to conquer the Gallic and other provinces from a bunch of “barbarians”, and…[Read more]

well on one hand you have Romans in heavy armour with large shields and good all round stats…. on the other you have unarmoured tribesmen…..

So if you roll equal or lower than the current crit level then nothing happens.  So if you roll a 3 and the ship already has a 4, then its zero effect (except for the base damage).

Yes IJNs fan torpedo rule is VERY strong … its a single dice in place 6-12 AD, but its a straight 6 to hit no re-rolls or modifiers!

And yes flights hit on their…[Read more]

Ok, thank you for that explanation. Since i played it differently with just getting the crit score 1 up, that makes torpedoes way more potent and “devastating!” ^^,
But that leaves me on another question. If the Ship already has a crit score of 4 on whatever system and i roll a 3 for the crit effect. That means it does not take effect?

That…[Read more]

Torpedoes all have Devastating rule –

That means you dont try and beat the armour like normal damage – its always D6 – Torpedo belt number (if applicable).  Then IF you roll a 5 or 6 you get to roll again… if the second roll is a 4 or more then yes you’ve scored a critical.

As confirmed by the FAQ, whe you roll for what level of critical you…[Read more]

ah been reminded… (take out the spaces….)

Hi, thank you for your response.

I know that i could just copy the page of the book and cut them out but i like the feeling of somethin like plexiglass markers. For many players those things are comfort tools and with them the company has an additional side income.

Maybe i go and ask a lasercut studio to make me some.

Thank you Mike and Arcole
