Yeah, that makes sense – especially the point about the range bands of AA probably meant to be used vs surface smallcraft. So, the range of AA (in its AA role) is the weapon’s extreme range – and in the case of DP weapons half the weapon’s extreme range for anti-surface use…

Yep, yep, falling into place. Cheers!

Very helpful. Thanks.

Hi,

yes you have the right of it…local 1 with nothing in the AD column of the battery will give you only 1 dice only to AA with and can only target flights that are touching its base

1) Yes, it splits into two combats.

2) If it’s break test result was to hold its ground, yes it stands and fights in the next turn.

3) Nobody. The situation ended as it was in the diagram. All units are engaged, so there is nobody in a position to offer support to any friends.

4) No, it gets its full number of attacks.

If the unit that was f…[Read more]

“Personally I’d have said no… because a spotter is an upgrade to a unit not a unit him (or her)self.. in that they dont provide an order die (they merly use the mortar /howitzers*)  & unless the FAQ says otherwise that’ll be the way I’ll play it”

The problem with this interpretation is that the spotter rules specifically tell you they are “……[Read more]

Oh for the DP half range thing ..just half the max range and that’s it’s range against flughrs

Hi,

AA – in the movement phase local X may shoot any aircraft flight that passes over  the ship…this number of dice maybe used once per flight that passes over….

At the start of the shooting phase AA + local X may shoot at any flights touching the base of the ship BEFORE any ship is chosen to fire…each AD can only be used once.. chose…[Read more]

Hi RR, I don’t think they’re is a charge target priority rule. In the situation you describe the unit is taking quite a risk as it will need 3 moves to complete a successful charge to the rear (one to turn around and two to travel 16”). There is a good chance it will only get one move and end up turning around right in front of the closer enemy…[Read more]

I agree with Nat and with Warlord answer, spotter can’t hold objective (also as Nat says if the mortar team is eliminated the spotter disappears, routes).

I still don’t understand where the 3 crews rule comes from 😅 🍻🍸

And a unit of Privateers are now done.

I also finished basing the other models that I painted previously.

I have a question regarding charging when multiple options are available. There doesn’t seem to be a restriction on charging the closest target. So, for example, in a recent game a unit of horse had a target 6″ to it’s front and another target 16″ to it’s rear; the horse chose to spin around and charge to target to it’s rear.  It seemed valid, if…[Read more]

I think it depends on the wording of the scenario’s objective. For example the wording of scenario 3 in the 2nd Edtion:

To hold an objective there must be a model from one of your infantry or artillery units (or a transport including one such unit) within 3” of the objective at the end of the game, and there must be no enemy unit of any type w…[Read more]

*dont forget the spotter runs away when their gun/mortar dies /runs…..

Hmm so they disallow 2-man teams  e.g. sniper, flamethrower, bazooka, and piat teams from controlling objectives.

No: sniper, flamethrower, bazooka, are infantry, not artillery. Infantry (one man stand too) or artillery with 3 crew alive.
I ask greater clarity, and says to me that need 3 man alive at end of game.…[Read more]
