Any, but go with Green as the main alternative colour (instead of the Yellow for RN for example)?

have you looked at the fall of berlin stuff?

think theres something in there about this

The issue(s) is simple

Warlord write rulebooks as framework not rulesets….they are the starting point for you and your club /gaming circle to start with – they are NOT written for pickup gaming between complete strangers :/  (yes a number of the authors have the mindset of once you’ve brought the book its your game change a you want)

Because (and this IS something I’ve said to the author should have been stated 🙁 ) the rules dont make it clear how they got the stats….

Its the type of gun (not all 5″ guns are the same… ie 5″/54 or 5″/38)
Type of mount
Type of range finding and gun control
Type & quality of ammunition

This is why two ships that had the same guns (like the…[Read more]

Campaign: Western Desert

The Rule is “Whenever a South African infantry or artillery unit receives hits from non-HE fire, place a pin marker as normal. If, however, no casualties are subsequently caused the pin is  automatically removed.”

RAW – Preparatory bombardment is not stated to be HE… however Prep bombard says it Artillery, Rockets or…[Read more]

Hi Marco – we have quite a lot of 15mm armies for the period left over from the days of DBM etc. These are all based on 40mm frontage elements.  For HC we tend to use three of these 40mm element bases to make up 1 HC standard sized unit.  Depth of unit to taste really.  With this system a large unit is 4 x 40mm bases wide, and a small unit 2 x 40…[Read more]

Here’s a point file with WLPA (Warlord Points Adjusted) which is where we’ve fixed some of the biggest outliers in either being under or Over costed and standardised the cost of vairous upgrades – this eleminates the issue of having the same statline but different costs depending on the ship name within a class.  Plus putting in fixes where the…[Read more]

Are you on FB?  Gabbio (the author) is active in the Official Black Seas group so should be able to help you out with how to bring other ships in

no, but yes…..

So by and large they are all 1 very big shot that will turn one poor fellow in mulsh… and as all are a heavy weapon have the chance of exceptional (and therefore one shotting) artillery.

the but yes is an optional rule in the US DDay book that allows the Bazooka to use a 1″ HE against troops inside a building /bunker……[Read more]

If you head over to the Victory at sea wardroom facebook group then theres a couple of templates in the files section.  Theres also some on the Discord server

Now some of the stats are a little fudged…. but basically heres some rough guidelines, if stuck ask on the Discord /Facebook group and theres a few of us who’ll be able to help you…[Read more]

Note – I’m not 100% sold on the Black Swann starting with Radar, Sub Hunter & being Agile….

I’d need more data on what was installed… and the shape of the ships hull… however as a rough draft that seems about right and fits with the official ships whilest being different enough to warrant its own stat line.

Yes….Ask and you shall receive…. here is a rough (10 min pen and paper version)

Commission 1939
Type – Destroyer (Corvette)
Hull – 3/1
Speed – 4″
Armour – 1+
Weapons – Light Guns = Range 4/8/12/17, AD3, AP-2, DD1 – Traits weak, DP & 2 Dice Fore, 1 Dice Rear
AA Battery -Range 0, AD0 Local 1
Traits – Depth Charges, Radar, Sub Hunter &…[Read more]

I got the same since quite some time.

I assume that it was some spammed messages.

warlords scale is bespoke… but apparently they work ok with/ against 15mm force

If you google it you’ll see some comparision pictures of different sizes.

As to official… well we’ve got the Prussians, but apart from that we’ve not heard or seen anything (doesnt mean a lot with Warlord as they do like to spring pre-orders of things with no…[Read more]

Hi Matt,

For the cover issue, we play that troops in cover count as not clear. I think it’s an omission. If you don’t use this then troops in cover do still get an improved save. It comes down to how much benefit you think troops in cover should get.

On ‘Home Home’ I think the whole battalia, as this seems in the spirit of the wording and is simpler.

I don’t use spray anymore as I invested in an aerograph to get rid of them (I live in an appartement) but I mostly use Vallejo product including their primers.

If you need a comparison, I’d say they’re similar to the army painter range : great priming surface, 100% colour match to the bottle ref.

So yes you can use their spray range to prime and…[Read more]

As Big Al has said elsewhere the rules do not exclude more than one charge response. So in this case  I would say that closing fire is allowed. The rider being that a unit can only give closing fire once per move (p.54).

No you can’t give any orders to units in Hand to Hand combat.

Hi Matt – I suggest you check out ‘Millers Miniatures’ YouTube channel and his latest video in which he reviews the actual sprues.  There are some nice single firing musketeers on the cavalry sprue.  He also compares the figures to Steel Fist Miniatures 15mm line and they look spot on to me.
