invisible officer replied to the topic Achtung! Englischer Panzer! in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 10 months ago
Another nice WW I item!
But a question, why the dress colors???? The K Flak units belomged to the Heer and so they wore normal artillery stuff. That brown legwear would have made the Batteriefeldwebel jump in squares.
Feldgrau came in many shades, too many producers. But there was ever enough to dress all men in that. Motor troops had a…[Read more]

Superb effort on these reports. Must take ages to construct all those diagrams.

Hi CtG, I see your reasoning but I was sticking to RAW. With your example I think it is even more important that the RAW approach is taken, BP’s strength is the randomness it brings to command and movement. No units are exempt from friction. Good discussion though.

Charge The Guns replied to the topic Free moves page 34 in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago
Ah, I see. Thanks for clarification, Gary. We’ve never interpreted it like that. I think our logic is that, if a unit is entitled to a free move, then this entitlement is on the basis of what the unit is, or is doing, not on the basis of being the unit where the commander fluffs his roll.
Couldn’t you say that every unit in a brigade has te…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Free moves page 34 in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago
I am sorry CtG, free moves are only available to units that failed their command roll. First para of p.34. Hence some units with free moves won’t get them if they are not ordered for whatever reason.
Regards

Charge The Guns replied to the topic Free moves page 34 in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago
Any unit that has not received an order that turn. It doesn’t matter if you fail a command roll for that unit, or before you get to it.
Hope that helps?

Very nice.
Bolt action is much better to the Eastern WW I front than the Western.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Winning units in hand to hand combat, do they test if they have excess hits? in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 11 months ago
No it doesn’t test. The excess casualties are just removed. I know it seems odd but that is what happens. The winners of the melee are still shaken and so are vulnerable to any counterattack.

Nat replied to the topic Italian rules: NO RUN! in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 11 months ago
In situations like this (improvable object meets unstoppable force) I normally follow the rule of must over rides cant.
So the cant run stipulation doesnt stop a unit from receiving a run order but rather moving at double speed. As an large gun being man handled cant move at double speed anyway I’d say it can still move. However that in…[Read more]

Its a long time since I built my resin one.
Towing hook, towing rings, rear turret door, gun barrel.

invisible officer replied to the topic Bolt action infantry base size in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 11 months ago
It’s no big problem. In worst case just use a 25 mm base as template.
If you prefer a 20mm for look or other reasons feel free. Rule systems come and go but armies stay. 😉

@enoich – Only thing I’d say is when talking about dogfight rules use flights not planes so as not to add any confusion about the aircraft X trait supplying observer planes. Otherwise yeah I agree with it all!

invisible officer replied to the topic U-552 VII C or : Size Matters in the forum Cruel Seas 2 years, 11 months ago
I can live with the scale difference, compared to the Warlord 1935 M-Boot it’s OK, just because that is too small too. But compared to the S-Boot its flimsy.
So I will use it but its far from ideal.

The kit offers three versions, differing only from the decals. I choose U 552. I like the rd devils at tower of the “Teufelsboot”.

1/300 or 1/350, matching or not? For most gamers that’s no question and so they use them together. I’m a bit more anal on that, I see the difference. So did not buy the kit of the German company from Bünde.
Nor a visiting friend brought it “instead of flowers”. He knew that I do 1/300 ships and asked in a shop for a WW II model in tha…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Rules Question Thread in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 11 months ago
I agree with @Charge the Guns… There is a rules precedent for instructions that cant be completed with the number of orders rolled (artillery limbering) carries over to the next turn. So I would go with that… if you tell a unit to go through woods and dont get enough orders they do as much as they can but stop when they run out of them.
Eg…[Read more]
