The FAQ is whats been said here and on the FB page…but focused on what has been released (ie the rules manual currently)… which is why theres some things (the Agano class cruisers traits* for example) that arent in it…

Now by Matts own admission the ability to put flights to scout is in the main rulebook and not in the QSR….and goes…[Read more]

Hey, Nat, thanks for compiling this!

I will note that this:

“Can I run some flights as observation planes?  – No, observation planes are only those provided by the Aircraft X trait”

seems to contradict MongooseMatt’s feedback on dakkadakka:

Just to add:

Is it like a tank with multiple weapons where, although all the quads have to be declared at the same target, you roll each weapon individually?

Bolt Action rules 2nd Edition page 106:

When you fire one of these weapons, you roll a number of dice equal to the shots fired by each weapon, multiplied by the number of weapons. For…[Read more]

The rule applies to ‘units or weapons’ that fire multiple HE shots simultaneously – it doesn’t matter whether you’ve got one barrel or 20 firing at that target unit, the same rule applies as it’s all coming from one unit.  The automatic cannon is just an example of a way you can get multiple HE hits.

Bolt Action rules 2nd Edition:

TWO OR MORE WEAPONS
ON THE SAME MOUNT (page 105)

If a mount has several weapons using the HE special rule (you cannot decide that some of these weapons fire armour-piercing and some fire HE, they must all fire the same type of ammunition), roll to hit and then place a number of templates equal to the number of hits…[Read more]

While I don’t have my rule book on hand my gut reaction would be to resolve each gun individually.  Otherwise, you could run into situations where you could target a unit where you’re rolling 2’s, and then daisy chain the explosions up to 7 inches away to another unit that might have been on 7’s to hit.  I could be wrong about how those explosion…[Read more]

It looks like one big fight. The right hand Green unit is engaged to the front (incidental) as well as the flank. It can, therefore, use half of its attacks to the front as well as the flank.

However, you can split it into two combats. Alright, the right hand green unit is partially in contact with the right hand red unit, but again, the red…[Read more]

The big question here is “whose turn is it”. I mean, Unit doesn’t just “end up” in that position.

A) Let’s assume that it is Red’s turn. The Blue unit is within proximity, so Red can move on Initiative and move back. That would take it away from the danger of a flank charge in the following turn.

A second option would be to try to issue an order…[Read more]

Thanks Master Chief. I am in the process of trying get a few boxes of these, but sadly they are not $10 per box anymore.

It looks like Warlord Games got some of the old Wargames Factory stuff, but I wonder who has the WW2 molds. More importantly, I wonder if they will be releasing these figures again?

Hey Craig. Did an edit to an image link to get the hi-res version, Model Showcase thread has locked and disappeared again. 🙁

Definitely switching to attachments from now on

Nat: Based on the beta rules (which might not necessarily be applied in the final published version), there are no further modifiers. 7+ on a dice means impossible to hit, period.

d.giessmann: This is naval warfare. Time-to-target is absurd, and fast, nimble ships can and will actively maneuver at longer ranges to evade shells. Yes, there is…[Read more]

Cool! sounds good, can’t wait for it to get done.
