In 25th army in Malaya most taken from shops and civilists got painted olive.

The Japanese made ones had been painted olive or in a light yellowish brown.  They stayed at home to hide the plans for invasion, saving space on ships  and increase landing speed.  Normally the army cyclist units had homemade ones.

They had special types, in…[Read more]

Similar to HM forces German Heer used trade badges. These small round badges denoted special abilities or jobs.  Normally worn on right forearm.

Like radio operator, Farrier, ordnance, Feuerwerker and some more.  In 28 mm the yellow sign on the green would be hardly different.  Gothic F or S for example….  SS had similar but on black.

Key point here  – “Japanese were particularly known for their use of bicycles (generally stolen from the local population) of which the campaign in Malaya in 1942 is perhaps the best example.”

They werent gernerally issued, but stolen … so any dark colour or hastly re-painted with tank /truck paint /mud etc would work…. I’d go for a mix of…[Read more]

The answers are 99% correct, 100% for the rules but the often written  Geneva Convention thing  is wrong.  In real world medics and hospitals are just limited to self defence and defence of the wounded.

So  a military doctor, being an officer, wore in many armies  a pistol (or even sword like British on parade) .  Hospitals had rifles and often…[Read more]

OK yes understood. Your interpretation of the rules is correct according to the rules as written which determine it as a clear target because the leader model at the centre of the firing unit can see more that half of the target unit’s frontage.

The leader model is used for determining visibility to speed up the game, but in this example it…[Read more]

Just a quick point… Easy Army is a 3rd party tool – made and maintained by ONE guy… if you email him he’ll sort out any list issues.

However to answer your question.. when a new unit is said to be added to an existing selector it should go in both the compulsary & optional squad choices unless stated otherwise (normally by saying 0-x can be…[Read more]

Just seen this. The maths is interesting for nerds like me. If it is an clear shot the unit fires 3 dice getting an average of 1.5 hits (on 4+), an unclear shot gives it 1 hit (on 5+), if you reduce dice to two dice with a clear shot it gets 1 hit. To be extra nerdy, probably only 1 dice has a clear shot and 1 dice an unclear shot which gives 0.5…[Read more]

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
