Yes p.20-1 of the rulebook only adds to the lack of clarity as they managed to avoid mentioning attack columns.  Your interpretation is certainly a valid one, given a lack of clarity from the authors. However I suspect that this would drive you towards separate units of skirmishers because a column screened by its own skirmishers within 12 inches…[Read more]

I am afraid the answer is not as simple as the question. I would say that yes an attack column in mixed formation is still an attack column and gets the morale bonus, because the rules define that the unit in mixed formation is still treated as one unit not two. Thus, as you say, when fired at form the flank or rear it is still an attack column.…[Read more]

When conducting a Reverse move – that is moving backwards – you can normaly only move at half distance for the vehicle and have zero turns.

Turn on the spot means that you can move the full speed ofthe vehicle BACKWARDS in a straight line then do a single 180deg pivot at the end…. thats it

Hi @Daniel Sauerwein

There is a little activity here on the forums, but most of the conversations happen over on Facebook or the Official Discord server.

Note this link is only active for a week….

@SenInt – washer / spacer would be the correct term..

As an aside 1/72 is pretty much 20mm scale.

Sorry dont normally look in the General forum – this sort of thing gets more notice in the Historical /black powder forum.

BUT to answer the question, a battalions skirmishers are just a company (or 2) who are skirmish trained so you’d use the standard models – a comon approach is just to base them individually as opposed to groups like with the…[Read more]

the original BA vehicle stat cards where with the tank war releases… some other units got them but WL seem to have stopped doing them some time ago.

As GeneralJimbo says Easy Army added it as an option about a year ago after people kept asking the same question as the OP

so lets see….each unit of Guerrillas can be used in one of the following ways per turn.

I) One French order to reserves suffers a -1 to SR.  If they fail then resolve a unit of Guerillas firing at them,  If the fail was by 1 then they take an extra casulty marker in addition to the shooting attack, if they fail by box cards (12) then the F…[Read more]

I’d be tempted to do the following, a Spanish or British Penisular army  may choose one of the following options:

0-1 Partisan band (brigade)
Brigade comander at SR 6 (all units MUST take unreliable at -3 points per unit) 0 points  OR SR7 (0 points)
1+ Guerilla units – each with  option to change size to tiny, or normal or large at -13 /+…[Read more]

An interesting question, Richard.  Guerrillas would be a nice way to add some additional colour to a Peninsula battlefield.  I would seem them as small units of skirmishers, taking the odd pot shot from cover; more of an annoyance than a big threat, but perhaps enough for the French to have to send some Voltiguers to get rid of them.  I can’t see…[Read more]

Iirc it says add 2 for 15 points… which would be 15 points for the pair

Yes it’s discounted… but they are limited to front arc only

The store occasionally has miss tagged items… Both adding units / models & missing them off

Well the rules are…. a little bit open to interpretation.. they say you can take 25% allies from X list

Now that would indercate that it should be a legal force (ie 1 Div Cmdr, 1+ Infantry etc)… HOWEVER this is a framework system and in reality you often had brigades sent to support another division*… so, check with your gaming buddies and…[Read more]

Oh I’m on your side…If you’re going to include something, include it for everything.  But like I said, WL have a habbit of being un-consistant 🙁

A little defense for the omissions from the points summery section – they are the points for non historical pickup lists using the mix and match brigades, and some units (such as Partisans, both Spanish & Russian) dont appear in these.  The section with all the units and back ground info are there for the people doing historical lists /matchups &…[Read more]

No… spotters have a specific rule that says they cant “assault or fire against enemy units”

Its that rule that stops them mannaing a transports weapons.

Official word is – no

However, a couple of authors have said ‘we’re not looking at it any time soon, but what sort of thing would we look at’ on podcasts  & WL like to go ‘Heres X book’ with no leaks /official rumours…..(or open betas)

Irregular = -5
weapons = no cost
H2H = 4
Shooting = 4
Morale = 12 (3 points, count down from 6)
Stamina = 8
Marauder = 5

Total cost is 28 points a SMALL unit
to go to a normal /standard size then add +8 points
to go to a large add +8 (or +16 from a small unit)
to go to a tiny its -12 (the cost of becoming a tiny unit is flexiable)

The Brigade number restrictions are per 1K, the cavalry regiments are per army no matter the points value.

So a 3K list you can have 3 Cavalary brigades and therefore up to 6 cavalry regiments – however only 1 can be hussars, up to 3 chassaers so the last 2 HAVE to be Uhlans.

Doesn’t surprise me…there’s points and stat inconsistencies in several armies across the 3 Napoleonic supplements

However the points are very easy to work out…if it’s not been answered (and I remember) I’ll work it out for you tomorrow
