3/115 had a single Einstoßflammenwerfer 46. Effective range a little over 20 meter , maximum 40 m. The burst was 0,75 seconds long. It could be refilled but at Spandau Siemensstadt they did no refill. It was intended in Volkssturm for counter attack in urban area. The men of the unit had been older workers from Siemens company, mostly WW I ve…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Unsquared Infantry vs. Cavlary in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 7 months ago
Hello Forrest
There is very little in the rules that is automatic. This problem is related as much to the break test as to the dice rolls in the close combat round, in the first move the infantry often has a 58% of passing (scoring 7 or more) because they are unlikely to suffer excess casualties in the charge. However the infantry don’t have t…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Luftwaffe field division in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 7 months ago
The smock worn by LW Felddivision late war is not that of Fallschirmjäger and had a different cut. Nerds like me would see that …. 😉
Some Fallschirmjäger got sent in 42 to LW Feld Regimenter as base, they kept the FJ smock they had been issued with until it was in tatters.
The units of Wehrmacht: Heer, Luftwaffe und Kriegsmarine , ha…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Just starting – army building questions in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 7 months ago
The warlord starter armies have a 1K list included…. they often have a couple of models left over.
As a rough guide go to wg.easyarmy. com (space left out) – however there are a couple of list errors & it contains units / Theater lists from ALL the armies of… books and the campagin books.

The pickup games missions…. they are an attempt at pickup /tournamaent games….. but the rounding of points doesnt exactly allow for ballanced tournaments….
If you are up for it I would look at the historical sceanrios and altering them to match your models /time
eg in the new year I’m planning on doing a version of the midway…. but…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Unit sizes? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 7 months ago
Imagin the distribution of just 7500 weapons made and you have the answer. 1/3 never reaching front units. The FG 42, first used in 43, was no replacement for the K98 in real action. 1 in a squad in addition to the LMG, or often as bad replacement, would be historical.
Anything else is like the all Stug 44 units fielded by some gamers. On…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Italian ss squads in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 7 months ago
Non aryans? But you ask for the Italians. No racist ideology problems for the Nazi scum.
Late 43 15.000 volunteers went to Germany for training to form 29. Waffen-Grenadier – Division der SS = Italienische SS Division 1. But 9.000 soon got kicked out, being of no military use.
It went to Italy as : Six Grenadier and a Füsilier Batt…[Read more]

Very decent of you, Lindsay 👍. I hope they are not expecting you to do anything cooking though? 😆.

Nat replied to the topic Aircraft Carriers – What's the point? in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 7 months ago
Yeah RAW (and confirmed in the FAQ) is 0 flights can be used for scouting….
However the House Rule I like is when allocating ships to scouting you may replace up to a 1/3rd of any (/all) carriers flights with the Aircraft X trait (where X is the number of flights you replace). You can then do it that these Aircraft X can then be allocated in…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Mixed Formations – when to use? in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 7 months ago
Light Infantry… depending on the unit (and the supplement your using) can deploy in one of 4 formations, depends on how YOU as the general want to deploy them!
Line (0 skirmishers)
mixed (33% skirmishers)
Light infantry mixed (50% skirmishers (rounding up IIRC)) – this is found in the clash of eagles supplement
skirmish (100% skirmishers) – if…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Moving ships in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 7 months ago
When moving, the ship must end the turn on the table and not overlapping another ship. I do go with during movement overlapping is fine (stops tactical blocking). As only the bridge is the location of the ship I’d go with so long as the bridge doesnt go off the table then you are fine.

Charge The Guns replied to the topic Black Powder Epic Scale Waterloo in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 7 months ago
Ah yes, Chris Collingwood is outstanding.
I agree the bases of red and blue figures would be great for more abstract type games, sort of 3D counters. A bit like the Perry’s battle in a box.
I think I would go for 3 bases in a regular sized using, 4 for large, and 2 for small, if I were using the epic figures under Black Powder. This would the…[Read more]

Hilarious, good one Keith 😆!
Which of the Epic scale armies are you thinking of getting?
(Excuse me for asking, but are you the same Keith Flint, author of Shadow of the Eagles? Interesting looking set of rules. The cover alone is tempting!)
