That reply isn’t supported by anything in the rulebook and sounds like a house rule – Warlord customer support answers should be taken with a grain of salt and only used as “private use” guidance.

Alessio’s own words on them –

Let me elaborate a little on this ’email answer’ situation:
When a customer asks a difficult rule question, like the…[Read more]

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

I have a quick answer from Warlord:

“No spotters can not take an objective, only infantry units or artillery units with 3 crewmen can hold an objective.”
As usual, the rulebook is poorly written, and the spotter for the fact of not being able to FIRE and assault is on a par with the doctor or chaplain.

The “3 crewmen” for arty I don’t know where…[Read more]

Sure, spotter can defend in close quarter, like medics and chaplain.

Spotter can’t fire and assault, but only defend in close quarter (in close quarter, cand receive fire order to fire an enemy is coming), exactly like medic and chaplain, he only defend himself if assaulted. But maybe spotter remain a combat unit (he direct mortar/arty fire), and…[Read more]

As it is not mentioned in the rules, I would say a spotter is allowed to control objectives. And if it is attacked in close quarters it should be allowed to defend.

Yeah, I am pleased with the overall game, but inconsistent scaling has been a disappointment.

and now the japanese get even more light mortars in their squads!!!!

the palau island hoping book allows then to have 1 rifle grenade launcher per section….put that in a late war mixed weapons squad…

On the massive damage question: They both have +4 armour penetration so it seems reasonable to me. Assuming actual damage was scored by busting through the boat’s armour, then the boat can trigger its special.

The heavy howitzer would still apply lots of pins though, on a hit, as it’s not a damage roll.  So in that sense the heavy howitzer is…[Read more]

Hi Tim – I think you are right. Using the example in the P&S rule book, ‘vanilla’ horse would be 41 points, including H-t-H of 8 and pistols. The poor old Northern Horse should therefore be 38 points, as you say, for losing one H-t-H factor (2pts) and their pistols (1pt).

You may already have seen it, but there was a very interesting book on…[Read more]

OK. Now I see. Thanks very much!

The Stalingrad book grenade adaptor option is for the German squad, same as the one in my attachment. So it cannot be used for Soviets or other nationalities.

I already did, thanks very much, but I want to know it is anything Eastern Fronts specific info in that Stalingrad book. Like:

How many adaptors can I ad to a Soviet squad if any. Or Romaninan, or Hungarian.

I had attached a screenshot of the rifle grenade rules in one of the earlier posts in this thread. Check it out.

Hi!

I play games based on Fortress Budapest, and in that supplement, all Panthers and Pz-IV’s in Hungarian service have the Hitlers Buzzsaw rule. Which is realistic, because none of the German made tanks had different weapons in Hungarian service than in German service. So T-38 and Stug III and Hetzer, and Pz III all had German weaponry. So I…[Read more]

Hi!

I play games based on Fortress Budapest, and I have no Stalingrad book. BUT I saw rules for rifle grenades in the Contents list. Can anybody let me know about if there is any new rules according to the rifle grenade adaptors? Thanks in advance!

I take a look in errata&FAQ too, and there is no other info on shirkers or routed units.  So as I wrote, I agree with you, by raw reading the pins are to be counted to see if the unit is routed.

On Shirkers special rules says “always count pinned markers as double” so by raw reading seems count as doubled for order test, shotting and morale…[Read more]

Hi!

We use the main gun against infantry in bulidings.
