james started the topic Looking for help with positioning of equipment on British Airborne models in the forum Bolt Action 5 years ago

I’m hoping the more knowledgeable of you here can help me with assembling a sprue of British Airborne when it come to the various equipment options. I’m sure there are intended combinations for the different weapon loadout etc but for the complete novice what are they? I have the Osprey Men at arms book The British Army 1939 – 45 (I) which helps a…[Read more]

I did a previous post on Soviet ‘Machine Gun Artillery’ Platoons. It will be on previous pages. https://www.warlordgames.com/community/topic/machinegun-artillery-pulyemyetno-artillyeriyskiy-platoon/

Soviet ‘Machine Gun Artillery’ Platoons were only used in 1941 in designated defensive zones. As well as multiple MMG there are multiple LMG Te…[Read more]

They look perfect for Market Garden, but too green for Overlord. But I guess that is what you were going for?

I used standard US paras for mine, but used the Mohican haircuts to make them different, so I can identify them on the tabletop.

Squeezing artillery on to bases that are too small should be considered ‘weaselly’ and something akin to bowlers tampering with the ball in cricket – not done by gentlemen / gentlewomen. 😀

BP2 specifies that an artillery battery should be the same width as a small infantry unit.
invisible officer replied to the topic What where Napoleonic era cannons made out of? in the forum Black Powder 5 years ago

For weight reasons Napoleonic land based field guns had been made Brom bronze. Some older iron guns got used , in, 1812 a few old iron field guns got used in Prussia with rear units. Fortress guns are often iron, the weight being not important. In general an iron gun of same calibre was cheaper but heavier.

Navy guns are mostly iron too, n…[Read more]

I use 60mm wide bases.
George replied to the topic Artillery bases in the forum Black Powder 5 years ago

Correct myself, width not depth.
George started the topic Artillery bases in the forum Black Powder 5 years ago

Hello again,

In the BP rules it says that artillery can be mounted on 40mm – 80mm depth. I found the 80mm width allows me to put my gun, crew, and accessories all on that signal base. It’s width is about the same as that of an infantry battalion in attack column. Is it okay to have my base that wide or am I going to suffer side effects by doing…[Read more]

To make pathfinders, just use standard paratroopers? I dont see any special pathfinder kits. Would their colors be any different?

Bronze for the most part.

Big Al replied to the topic Math Issue with Points System in the forum Black Powder 5 years ago

I’m with you on avoiding command levels lower than 7 but those with such low command levels need to get off their backsides and move closer to the troops they are giving orders to!
Nat replied to the topic Math Issue with Points System in the forum Black Powder 5 years ago

I wouldnt use a staff rating of lower than 7 outside of the personality traits table because 7 is the average roll of 2D6. Which when you start using rules like unreliable or units over 12″ from commander you then end up not having any control over the unit and it does nothing more often than not. So whilst it may be historically accurate game w…[Read more]
