Fighters can attack MTBs which is why they have an entry in the hit chart…. any thing bigger is too heavily armoured for their calibre ammo to do seriouse harm to.

Only during the gunnery phase.

Reason- moving in to base contact is just moving in to range and not maneouvering over the ship there for the local X trait trigger doesnt activate.

Note its only Local X that triggers during the movement phase not the AA battery itself.  ie a ship with AA battery 3 + local 2 will use 2 AD against every flight…[Read more]

from memory both hatches are seperate   I’ve put an open one and use a bad squiddo female tank commander on my 152

thanks Craig

I have also been recently approached by a rather dubious member and must echo Nat’s request.

Hi Pat,

this sort of question will get noticed and more answers in the Historical /Bolt Action sub forum…

However, Paras are a valid sub faction army.. in fact they make a great core of a force then you can just swap out what supports you give them (ie jeeps, tanks, transports etc) to change up how they play

1. … Warlord have said you go by FAQ then rulebook, then the cards (IIRC its 450!…. yes warlords points are abit off in places…)
2 … Subs have 4(!) depths – surfaced, submerged, running deep & hidden – to keep teleporting subs to min hidden is to the grid square/sector – check out the subs 101 file I’ve uploaded in this thread…[Read more]

TBH the move and fire ability of Manhandling guns is the only reason to use it!…. so never on horse artillery

Also any heavy /seige artillery cant be manhandled.

I’ve recently started alternative armies for BA in 15mm. (Flames of War).  Base them on metal washers as it stops them falling over.  I went for 15mm diameter. 10mm clashes won’t fit on lots of the smaller figures built in bases, and 20mm just leaves them looking too spread out. For a mortar or MMG team, I use regular BA single-man base.

Greg, I would edit your post ASAP to take out that email if you still use it, or every single internet bot will be spamming you soon.

If you read through the special rules section you  will see that some are recommended for veterans. In particular Elite 4+ which allows them to remove disorder on a D6 4+ and Reliable which adds 1 to the command test, making them move more often and further. It is really up to your particular scenario.

Mixed formation can be either lines or columns this is clearly stated in the rules for mixed formations

1 – yes, 2 from each openeing
1b – I’ll need to double check… but I think normal targeting rules apply … ie doesnt matter which side of the building you are looking out of, but you have to all target the same thing unless you have a 1 shot (or limited shot) weapon – or Indirect, but thats a different issue :p

2 – short answer is HE ignores…[Read more]

From a rough reading I can agree.

But for the same reason then a fixed weapon (MMG or mortar) cannot be moved in rough terrain because it only moves with a RUN order (according to the rulebook).
Reading the FAQ / Errata (where it is said that a fixed weapon moves with RUN order in rough terrain but only 6”), I understand that by extension a unit…[Read more]

Hi G, supports is one area that always causes our group confusion when we move between BP and P&S. here is our take on your questions.

a. In BP you can issue a brigade order to charge and support, but you can’t in P&S.

b. You’re right, in both sets, only the main unit that charged can sweeping advance.

c. Same for both sets again. Only the uni…[Read more]

thanks for the clarifications

The round badge with a pip was really the Ober…….   But hardly ever used with that  term Obersoldat.  It was Oberschütze, Oberjäger, Oberkanonier and so on.

Hardly enough on the sheet for all uses, incl. the trade badges. So a Oberfunker needs two.

The chevrons are for Gefreiter, Obergefreiter and Stabsgefreiter.   ~  Corporal…[Read more]
