About poor rolls, thats why we say if you are going carriers you must go all in on the scouting table (or deploy everything and hope to get the needed flights off in game).
Now the list above I’ve used once against an opponent (and a few times against my other fleet to see how it works) and 7 SP is very very bad rolling

re move & fire, depends if you are using the optional rules of 2+ moves means unable to fire. If your not then yeah so long as you give the order of move to X and fire then I cant recall a reason why not.
Yes the Batteries are independant units, they dont require limbering but thats the only exception that i can think of.

Example list that I used last game: – Year 1943 (-THIS IS IMPORTANT! personally this is the most balanced,,, pre 42 Allies struggle post 43 then the axis will due to refits and flights available)
Akagi, 8 A6M5 Zero Fighters, 9 x Jill Torpedo Bombers – 250
Shokaku, 1942 refit, 9 A6M5 zeros Fs, 9 x Jill TBs – 280
6 x Betty TBs (land based) -…[Read more] -

Ok Radar Trait (sorry dont have the page number), they add +1 to the scouting roll (so instead of needing a 5+ for the SP its a 4+) it also allows you to re-roll failed rolls… Advanced Radar add +2 instead.
Not all DDs have Radar Trait, some add it as a refit so you need to look hard – for example with the Japanese only the Yugumo starts with…[Read more]

Carriers go with scouting points…. however important notes are:
flights types & roles are decided when you write the list – in the FAQ
all carriers start with 2 flights on the table no matter what (CAP) – in the rulebookYou shouldnt have more than an escort carrier (5-8 flights) if you dont have a way of getting AT LEAST 7 scouting points……[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Further BP2 queries in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago
Yes, see the moving artillery by horse section of the rules. Personally I don’t allow units to fire if they have moved more than once, a rule introduced in the Last Argument of Kings and Clash of Eagles supplements.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Proximity rule and formation changes in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago
No, there is nothing in the rules that prevent you changing formation within proximity distance. The main point of the rule is to stop units being shuffled sideways in the presence of the enemy. In formation changes the unit stays in place and moves neither forward nor backwards, so it is very similar to turning to face. On p.33 of BP2 under…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Stand To and Close Quarters in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 10 months ago
short answer – Nope
Long Answer – Snap to basically gives you the chance of 2+ orders in succession without the chance of your opponent getting ‘a pull’ in between and therefore messing up your plans. The rules actually tell you to take the order check for the officer to make sure he gets it then (paraphrase) allocate out the other order bu…[Read more]

Charge The Guns replied to the topic 2 queries -preparatory bombardment and assaulting BUA's in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago
Hi Peter,
On the preparatory bombardment; we have used some pre-game random roles to potentially add some stamina losses to units considered to have been under a preparatory bombardment. e.g. roll a D6 for each unit, on a roll of 5 or 6 then lose 1 stamina.
On BUAs. These are difficult to take in BP, as I think they should be. We have found t…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic 2 queries -preparatory bombardment and assaulting BUA's in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago
Well outside of a siege prepapatory bombardments wouldnt really be more than a free round of shooting from the artillery (if in range)…. if your using the skipping shells rules from Clash of Eagles (& I think Albion 2) then I could see a use for it.
FIBUA, this is always hard to get right with abstract rules…by that I mean the risk /reward…[Read more]
