Rule states shot at by flamethrower not hit by flamethrower. Just because troops may not be hit ,buildings and contents are still flammable.

I may not have been clear in the question, when it discusses giving orders it says in the modifiers that it is -1 for every 12″ distance to the unit being given the order to. Under Battalia orders it says if giving a battalia order measure to the farthest unit away and apply the deduction to the SR. So if we sort of ignore the verbiage in the…[Read more]

They lost their kilts and became light infantry during refit after Corruna : (https://www.nam.ac.uk/explore/71st-highland-regiment-foot-light-infantry ).

Did they keep the pipers in a ceremonial or operational role for their second visit to Spain?  Was the  instrument funded by the officers mess for their private entertainment or to inspire the m…[Read more]

They still had them, paid by the officers. Horse guard paid for drummers and buglers only.  Fortunately we have letters from officers as source. Not just modern oics.

I don’t have a kit to hand, but usually the guns go together very much the same.  The wheels attach to an axle, the towing ‘legs’ attach to that too, a gun either sits on the axle or there is a base that the gun sits on (which attaches to the axle).  At this point I generally paint the gun then attach the painted gun shield and lower gun s…[Read more]

@MasterCheif – two key words there IF & Manages.  The transport disembark in to combat means that you didnt get in to contact with the vehicle.

I disagree that the suicide AT rule should over ride the combat disembark rule, as that would mean the unit stays on board when every instict would be to jump out

Hi All,

Just getting into BA. Currently play 40K but getting a little frustrated with the power creep. Looking to start with some Germans and Soviets – be great to find some people around Yorkshire to play at some point in the future.

“The Kamikaze special rule should override the normal infantry assaulting transport rule, so the suicide bomber team does not fight close combat with the passengers. It should be removed immediately and the transport hit with Pen +8.”

‘Should ‘does not equal ‘does’ – the Kamikaze rule is specifically vehicles.  Passengers from a loaded transport…[Read more]

Armies of Imperial Japan page 26:

Kamikaze. If a suicide anti-tank team assaults an enemy vehicle and the model manages to move into contact with the target, remove it and immediately resolve a hit against the vehicle with a Penetration value of +8 (no other penetration modifiers apply)

If their rule says it stops forward deployment then it’s stops all deployment using those rules.

About the outflank I’ll have to look at the rules again to say either way

Hi Tobias

A long list of stat, point* and rules related problems has been submitted to Warlord (including most of what you’ve listed here) and we are waiting on the studio to release an FAQ /Errata.

However some of what appears to be stat typos is due to the stats having real world influences, such as ammunition (AP & DD) and fire control…[Read more]

I don’t think 71 HLI of the Napoleonic era used pipers, their grandads of the 71st of Foot did in the Americas.

That rockket cart is indeed the missing item from the Warlord range. Standard gun frame with the two long boxes as per your photo

Bumping, so it doesn’t get buried…  🙂

Is there any word yet as to when Warlord Games will have this PDF available on their website?

Thanks.

The MP40s are in the post this afternoon.

suicide bombers can fight in close combat*, they just cant declare a charge against the unit.

However in this case its the embarked unit thats effectively counter-charging the bomber.

*they dont have the ‘unarmed’ rule… now they IIRC they can chose to use the AT mine as their weapon – aka remove both models :p or ‘boot knife’

Or a scratch bagpipe, giving the ears of the poor English a rest.  Like I did.   Something different.

Rocket cars, mine was more reycling than scratch.
