“I agree with Warlord answer, because spotter can’t fire or assault, excalty like a medic and a chaplain. ”

Steeljackal – the gap in your “exactly” claim is that medics and chaplains ARE non-combatants under the laws of armed conflict, a spotter is not.

The first two aren’t allowed to fire or assault based on their non combatant status.  The sp…[Read more]

But you think it’s ok for an unarmed mortar team reduced to 1 man to take an objective?

I agree with Warlord answer, because spotter can’t fire or assault, excalty like a medic and a chaplain. He work like a non-combat unit, only things he do is extend mortar/arty los. So to me have no sense that he can take and hold objective.

Then is true, rules does not say explicitly he can’t, but to me rules say it implicitly. I work every day…[Read more]

This answers my question, if anyone else also is wondering:

Hi yes I have these, as well as the US and German packs. I bought them dueing a sale at US$10 a pack. They are less “beefy” than the Warlord Soviet plastic ones, and I would say the scale is ok. I like my armies to have a variety of poses, and so mix and match figures from different manufacturers, as long as they are to scale (as much as possible).

I was just on Skype with one of my friends, and he told me that Wargames Factory use to produced plastic 28mm WW2 figures. I know about Wargames Factory, but I didn’t now they produced WW2 figures. More importantly, they use to have WW2 Soviet infantry! And they look good – see picture of sprue below.

Because Wargames Factory figures are not…[Read more]

I guess it will be remembered as a daring move that came off 😀

And this was the point I was trying to lean towards. Just because it’s not in the rule book doesn’t automatically mean it can be performed.

But that’s the point of having “rules” in every game. If players do not go by what the rules specifically allow or disallow, then the game will be bogged down by such lengthy discussions during the game and…[Read more]

Yes, we now know because it’s in the current FAQ, but before this, players had Spotters firing the vehicle’s weapons because the rules do not say anything about not being able to do this. Later we discovered Spotters could not. And this was the point I was trying to lean towards. Just because it’s not in the rule book doesn’t automatically mea…[Read more]

The rules do not say anything about Spotters not being able to fire the vehicle’s weapons. However, we know a Spotter cannot use the weapons of a vehicle it is being transported in.

We know that because it was stated in the FAQs (see below) so in a sense it is part of the “rules”:

Can a medic or an artillery/mortar spotter fire the weapons of a…[Read more]

“The rules do not say anything about Spotters not being able to take stuff.”

Just because it’s not in the rule book doesn’t automatically mean it can be performed. Take for example the weapons of a vehicle a unit is being transported in. The rules do not say anything about Spotters not being able to fire the vehicle’s weapons. However, we know a…[Read more]

A cheap way to get an extra weapon sprue , is to buy the plastic Warlord KV I/II kit  ( or the JS II ) as it comes with a sprue of Soviet troops and weapons to use as tank riders . If you don’t want the figures , sell them or convert them  to make Artillery crews
