Sorry but this is nothing about historical reality. First and foremost I play no Normandy at all, I play Fortress Budapest, I have read at least 20 Russian memoirs, they call all German AFV with tracks, but without turret as Ferdinands, and all Panzers are Tigers. But they does not seems to be frightened and paralized every time, when a German…[Read more]

Tomato Paste often comes in these metal tubes in the UK. Not sure about the US.

Here are my thoughts.

To be honest, I had never heard of these before your post so thank you very much for bringing them to my attention.

So what I have read, this is how they worked.

It was carried upside down on a carriage pulled either by horses or a motorised vehicle.

The soldiers would dig a hole/trench for it, back the trailer up to it,…[Read more]

I understand that peoples dislike the Tiger fear.  But it was a well intended rule based on history,  a psychological rule based on the Allied hystery about Tigers. Adding historical flavor.

We have literally hundreds of reports of being attacked by Tigers – with no kitten around for a hundred miles.

And in many Allied soldiers ran from “T…[Read more]

Do explain how holding a rifle, pistol, SMG, BAR or LMG would affect the NCO’s “leadership”. But as I said, players can believe what they will, and if they want to blame, blame it on the way the rules or FAQs are written, not on “interpretation”. If they want to complain, submit it to Warlord Games. I for one am waiting to see how Warlord Games…[Read more]

That gamy discussions about words.   I can just repeat, officers and NCO are with a unit to lead, not to kill themselves.  Serving a LMG makes their true job impossible.

So they should loose any officer / NCO Bonus.

And yes, it’s no historical simulation. But based on history.       And real world. You can’t do many things at same time. Th…[Read more]

Not that thick can stuff but that formerly used on toothpaste tubes. They are today mostly made from plastic but other stuff still comes in that foil material. It is ideal.

“just an idea for v3….:p”

But also a good idea for v2.

Western Desert page 142 (which was included as a screenshot earlier):

Sahariana Infantry section
– Up to 2 men can replace their rifles with a submachine guns for +2pts
– 2 men may have light machine guns for +20pts each. For each LMG, another man becomes the loader.
– One man can be designated as the team medic for an additional +5pt

The reason…[Read more]

I’m, sorry but did you metal tubes? Is that what we can soda cans here in the USA?

Chief, re-read that response, NCO’s can either take an smg, or act as a loader for an lmg, no where does it state NCO’s can take an lmg.
<p style=”text-align: center;”>I think trying to equate this faq response to mean any nco can take any weapon, or that nco’s are now counted amongst “men” is some pretty fallacious logic based on a…[Read more]

Fab to have it from the great man himself 👍.

Got a reply from  Rick. I don’t think he’d mind me posting it here. Nice answer I thought.
– basically – you can’t be in a wood unless you are in open order –on page 38 – Woods. Most formed units require a move to change formation (formed light units can do so as part of a normal move but cannot charge at the same time) p36. Aside from skirmish…[Read more]
