Whats the rule that stops the Landwher from deploying skirmishers?

The issue with a jet version of single engine props is that they wouldnt really work that well… the airframe is wrong for how the engine draws in air – look at how the phantom or F86 Sabre look….far easier to design a new aircraft, Twin engine aircraft might work with early jet engines – stuff like the whirlwind!
HOWEVER – I do like the…[Read more]

Poor skirmishers rule no longer has any meaning…it basically removed the +1 skirmishers got in v1.
The points I think are right…not got access to my spreadsheet where I ran all the calculations

Dirk
I agree with you about sub commanders being under priced in the supplement, in my scenarios I make them half the cost of the commander.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Pr.Sub-Commander in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 9 months ago
Interesting questions, there is nothing in the Clash of Eagles supplement to exclude Landwehr from having a sub-commander. With regard to rally orders, it is interesting that there are two types of order that require the general to be within 12 inches of the unit, Rally and Follow Me. Of these the supplement only mentions Follow Me, so my…[Read more]

However, as a result of the high demand the Midway starter set and all re…

invisible officer replied to the topic Price hikes too much in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 9 months ago
So true.
My local shop sells at same or lower price. And gives me in addition a discount on larger sales, combining with other companies products allowed. Even colors.
Now I wait until I see the stuff and can grab it. Best: Never again the fuzzy waiting time (over 2 months last time) with that XXXX carrier.

Thanks, Bowman! It is a fairly straightforward battle to do, and can be an up hill struggle (in many ways!) for the Royalists due to the number of Campbells there. Let us know how you get on.

Nat replied to the topic Basing Differences for Black Powder Napoleonics in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 9 months ago
v1 was that (set number of models per grouping /unit), v2 gives an approximate frontage per unit… its very similar in overall size…
ie a Normal sized unit of 24 models with a base of 15-20mm frontage per model works out +/-20 mm of the v2 frontage…. heres a table I drew up for my group as a reference

Garry Wills replied to the topic Large unit stats in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 9 months ago
To be fair the rules specifically state that most units are supposed to be standard size and therefore all basic profiles should be read from that perspective, so your large 52nd Foot would be 8/4/4+/4 and as I said the large Foot Guards would be 9/5/3+/5, according to AT2. Personally I would give the Guards the same stamina as the Light Infantry…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Large unit stats in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 9 months ago
rough rule of thumb…units are made of groups (called companies in the rules but not historical companies) tiny are 1-2, small 3-4, normal 5-6 & large are 7-8
each group is about 80-100ish men
each group provide 1 hth, .5 shooting & .5 stamina. hth is rounded to the next even number, shooting & stamina are rounded to the next number

Garry Wills replied to the topic Large unit stats in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 9 months ago
Looking at p.110 in AT2, where an upgrade for large unit is given, I think the profile for a Guards unit on p.105 (7/4/3+/4) refers to a standard sized unit (although increasing the stamina as well as the morale is a probably overkill). Thus a large Guard unit would be 9/5/3+/5 under AT2. Not sure I agree with this but that is my interpretation…[Read more]

Hello Karl,
In Albion Triumphant 2, the units are given different guns, the British are given Smoothbore (16 points for shooting, p.106) and the Prussians are given Light Smoothbore (12 points for shooting, p.128). The Dutch (p.114) are the comparison you mention, as the RHA are given additional special rules.

Because the points are fudged…. if you use the points calcualator from v1 rulebook you find with standard artillery they come in at 30 points for the Prussians OR you use them as light guns (36″ range) and 26 points is right.

Koin-Koin replied to the topic Is the Numbers card overpowered? in the forum Blood Red Skies 2 years, 9 months ago
Didn’t checked everything but if you follow the guidelines for war period and zone of conflict provided in the rulebooks, Numbers should have been given to the Yaks.
Random can leads to highly unbalanced games but you have to keep in mind that BRS has been thought to provide the reality of those aerial fights. Enemies didn’t called each others…[Read more]

SteveT started the topic Price hikes too much in the forum General Discussion 2 years, 9 months ago
What does anyone else think? I think the price rises over the last 2 years make it impossible (for me) to consider ordering any more from Warlord. Will have to use resellers who offer the same products often at 20% lower albeit with a far more limited selection. Yet Warlord keep expanding their lines…so they are obviously doing better than the…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Torpedo – Minimum distance travel before armed in the forum Cruel Seas 2 years, 9 months ago
100 to 200 m are common in German Navy. The setting could be changed in most “Zündpistolen” / Fuzes. . Arming was done in most by the turning of the propeller at the tip. Others, like P 4 or DWK Fuze had a small water wheel in hull. That had a problem, early ones had not been secured against tube rubbing problems so the turning could st…[Read more]
