In our league we have discussed some of these sniper rules set forth in this topic, but we have also discussed getting rid of the HE template and just use basic hits against units instead (Such as 2 hits for HE 1, 4 hits HE 2, etc).  It would quicken the game slightly as players would not have to reach across the table to see how many figures…[Read more]

Well, a good sipplement with a lot of work but hardly making BA into a true flavour WW I game.  Creeping barrage and bombing infantry tactics dominated the war 1917/18 so much that the BA based rules will not have the feeling.

It was not just a war of other dress, less tanks  and with gas.

The MP 18 is iconic, it should have pistol range a…[Read more]

You do a common mistake. There was not just one Rifle grenade type. Wehrmacht even had a propaganda amo to send printed propaganda stuff to Allied trenches.

The German AT Rifle Grenade was not the same as the HE anti infantry Rifle Grenade.   It was a shaped charge amo. The Raketen Panzer Büchse /  Panzerschreck amo was not just an enl…[Read more]

Very, very nice paint job Babek ! The zeros are especially well done !!

Another example of the “strange scales” politics of Warlord.   Like with the ships old gamers (like me)  have allready “some” armies. In ACW I have large 1/300 forces and also some regiments in 28mm.  My need for 13,5 mm is ………..

The one man killed rule is OK for most of these weapons.

Panzerfaust 150 had in 45 an optional “Splitterring” that produced a rain of splinters but most had nothing like that. But the shaped charge effect produced splinters from stones and concrete so it was not nice to be in the area……….

Babek, very nice.
Are those 1/200 scale CR.32’s? If so, where did you find them? I was hoping to get some.

As Big Al says, they are officially 13.5 mm. I have see some comparisons online which show them matching with Kallistra 12mm figs.

I don’t think they are intended to ‘mix’. I think they are intended to be their own size.  Once you get below the 15mm size I find mixing figures between ranges very tricky and rarely bother trying.

The announce states that they are 15mm and in brackets 13.5mm foot to eye.

To say that battalion squares are not used at all in 1700 would be wrong. For example the Bavarian regulations of 1680 has squares of different sizes, from brigade down to battalion. Funny thing, it was oval, not square.

Solid squares are often found in 18th century and some hollow ones are trained too. The movement by tactical  “divisions”…[Read more]
