I believe the intent of the rule is to keep a large enough gap so units don’t get mixed up. As long as we can do that, local gamers here don’t get that picky about it. But this would be up to you and your opponent.

I don’t understand where is the problem. Rifle grenade has HE 1″, then use HE rules:
– +1 PEN;
– d2 pins;
– can damage armored vehicle 7+;
– can make exceptional damage on artillery;
– medic doctor cannot cure HE wounds

HE (from mortar, artyllery, hand grenade, grenade launcher,…) is heavy weapon.
All rules say this, and there is nowhere in the…[Read more]

The Rifle Grenade is fired by a small arm but can hardly be classed as a typical  small arm amo.   Explosive load in HE was normally much less than in a Hand grenade but enough to produce a lot of splinters.

And there also existed hollow charge rounds. Intended against armored vehicles.

So historically a rifle grenade could hurt armored ve…[Read more]

… OR do you have to have all the western books to get rules for a Japanese army?

All 4 books give the same stats and points for RGAs. They just have different descriptive write-ups and allowed numbers for difderent nationalities.

For me is simple.
From rulebook “Heavy weapons add a modifier to the damage roll”. Rifle grenade has HE 1″ rule, then has +1 pen, then is heavy weapon.

Our club keeps a gap between infantry and other infantry so you can tell squads / teams apart… but yeah we dont bother with the 1″ between vehicles and infantry

I dont have battle for france or battle of the bulge.. the 2 campaign books I have dont classify RGA as either small are OR Heavy weapon…

yes you pick which use your aircraft have before deployment.. so 2 scouts & 2 spotting.

During deployment, after scouting points have been spent you assign a spotter plan to an enemy ship.  The spotter stays with that ship for the duration of the game or the assigned ship is sunk.*  This then enables you to select that ship as a target for Over H…[Read more]

Reading rules, it does not matter if it is fired from a light weapon (and to be precise it is not a light weapon, but a special light weapon, beacuse it is a rifle with RIFLE GRENADE ADAPTOR attached) but the weapon used and its rule is the rifle grenade (see battle for france or battle of the bulge), which is a heavy weapon. Like the hand grenade…[Read more]

In building rules are clear, one unit per floor. If building is big then you can divide floor in section and put one unit per section.

From vehicles chapter
“…We don’t allow tanks or other vehicles to move through friends, or to be moved through by friends.
Vehicles must negotiate their way around friends whether they are infantry, artillery or other vehicles.
Vehicles must normally stay more than 1” from enemy units, as per the general 1” gap rule…”

To me as always reule…[Read more]

If you check page 69 of the German Army book 2nd Ed, the 233 is a variant for the 231. Hence it should be available wherever you can select a 231.

Armaments In Miniature has a line of 1/200 scale aircraft, including bombers. Also, the Wings of War/Glory WWII line of aircraft are 1/200 scale.

Finished up some Thunderbolts.

Thank you for the reply.

I’m waiting till feb…so I’ve got the full rulebook in my hands and had a read through it (or 3!) before doing any quick refs or spreadsheets..

BattleScribe has the released ships in it…(it’s a bit convoluted to get the stats to print…select a ship, select a name then a refit year)
