Not a lot, really. Depending on who charged who, they could have been moved to support in combat if it was the red unit that charged. Now, they’ll just have to sit and wait. Once the combat ends, they are in a position to shoot at the enemy.

SteveT started the topic Does this unit fight twice? in the forum Hail Caesar 5 years, 3 months ago
On my image, I have a pair of units attacking an enemy pair. One enemy has to give ground. The winner doesn’t follow them.
So now we have 1 unit with friend (the winner of the first fight) on its flank vs 1 enemy. Does the friend get to support this new fight?
Sorry for bombard of questions, hoping these help others too.

Unit of skirmishes, red on my image, looking at friend infantry in combat with enemy infantry (see pic).
What can they do? Not allowed to charge at formed or shoot into combat..

Kar98k replied to the topic MMGs On German Transport Trucks in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 3 months ago
The idea that German trucks had MGs is more of a movie motivated myth than actual historical doctrine. As one of many examples, the picture below is from the movie Kelly’s Heroes. However, since Bolt Action is more of a fun and entertaining game depicting Hollywood war films and not a true historical WW2 simulator, the rule for adding an MG to a…[Read more]

SteveT started the topic Large units – worth it? in the forum Hail Caesar 5 years, 3 months ago
I can see their large fighting values are excellent 1 on 1. But don’t you open yourself up to being attacked by 2 regular sized units on the front flank? From what I have seen, 2 regulars ‘outgun’ a large.
Any input welcome!

Chimpy started the topic Recommended Vallejo Paints? in the forum Victory At Sea 5 years, 3 months ago
So I’ve got a British and German Fleet assembled. So does anyone have any suggestions what Vallejo colours to paint them?
The Bismarck box suggests 70.990 Light Grey and 70.836 London Grey but I’m not sure whether it is appropriate for other German ships. I’ve got some library books on the way but they won’t have Vallejo colours.
Thanks

Chimpy started the topic Smoke Template Size? in the forum Victory At Sea 5 years, 3 months ago
Hi there. For various reasons I decided not to buy the Pacific Starter set but bought the British and German Fleets instead. Can someone please tell me what size the smoke template is supposed to be? Or is it the same size as in the rules and counters page of the rulebook on page 2? Thanks

The German 1944 Kraftfahr Zug / Platoon 30 ton had 10 Lorries with 10 Drivers and no co Driver. Zugführer in light car with a Driver and a Kradmelder with a motorbike.
For these 10 lorries and staff 2 LMG are assigned. The Zugführer had a pistol, all others a K 98. The MG had no special fixing point on the 3 ton Lorry. Under air attack the…[Read more]

Thanks for the idea. Great job with adding a mmg to a transport. That looks great.

Big Al replied to the topic Unit counts in the forum Hail Caesar 5 years, 3 months ago
No. A unit is a unit. Size doesn’t matter where break point is concerned.
to be fair, most tiny and a lot of small units are skirmishers anyway and as such don’t count towards the break point!
The notes at the top of each army list States the parameters.

SteveT started the topic Unit counts in the forum Hail Caesar 5 years, 3 months ago
Unit counts occur when building army lists and determining break points.
But what do you do about Small/Tiny/Large units? 2 smalls make 1 regular?
Cheers

Sadurian Mike replied to the topic Rules Question Thread in the forum Pike & Shotte 5 years, 3 months ago
Thanks CtG,
I suspect that I’ll be keeping the points cost but allowing Closing Fire, the extra range and adding the +1 Morale Save for the Longbow targets. All subject to convincing my opponents, of course. I like your idea of overhead fire, but will probably just assume that the figure scale represents a few ranks of archers lobbing arrows over…[Read more]
