Well…V3 rulebook is being released in September and a new armies of Germany is being released early next year.  This will include most units from campaign books as well

So hopefully these lack of consistencies are addressed

Not stated…. but the engine deck is in the top back of the hull so I’d place a hull damage token

There’s an updated community points chart, but apart from that nope this thread is pretty much update.

Well the way platoons are going to be constructed is changing (how we dont know yet)

Plus all the V3 armies of… Books will be bringing in most units from the campaign books – some units will be left to specific campaigns only…h

This was confirmed in the announcement articles 

Being “completely unhistorical” is not fair I think, since you are looking at a snapshot of live war, not a pristine parade ground. In other words,  you are getting a zoomed-in view of a tiny area of battle, with units chaotically interacting in the field already haven taken various losses and gained temporary attachments of all kinds.  You c…[Read more]

Hi Richard, Until the Epic release comes out we can’t be sure how they will model the manipular system.  In the original HC army lists they give Republican legions small units and some special rules around swapping in and out of melee.  We tried this and it was “fiddly”.  We went back to regular sized units jyst the special rules for swapping th…[Read more]

Hi Paolo, all great questions!  I will try my best to answer them.

1. When playing with 15s we halved ranges distances.  e.g. Infantry move 12”/2 = 6”.  Some people have also used centimetres rather than inches.  As long as both sides do the same it is fine.

2. A stand has no official meaning – it is just wargaming short hand for a base with a…[Read more]

That should work fine, Donald 👍.

Welp can tell I don’t look at this forum much…

Short answer is green roll is made when casualties are taken

This is AFTER wound rolls

BEFORE models are removed, which is before moral check (if applicable)

So the are hit at inexperienced, wounded on inexperienced but MIGHT check at regular

Hi Hazed100, and welcome to Napoleonic gaming! 😀

As Nat has said, typically people source their own flags for units, because there are such a variety to choose from.  Warlord sometimes include them in some of their sets, but more often than not you need to source them.  Some people paint them themselves, but this can be quite tricky.

I really l…[Read more]

Are you near Chelmsford?

But for flags…. well you need to know what regiment you are painting as the facings of the uniform changes depending on the regiment…
however there are a couple of sites that do flags for you…google GMB designs

I need to finish off my french and put their flags on!

As to why they arent included – well because…[Read more]

@hazed100 – anywhere near Chelmsford?

So… are you playing Core Rules or Clash of Eagles Expanded rules?  Or the revised Waterloo epic (which is somewhere in the middle… but I dont have a copy so cant comment further on that)

Now irrespective of that…

If charged in the front when your flanks arent secured by either a unit in square, building or table edge if your unit has…[Read more]

So it seems it is finally happening… September.

supposedly a WL anoucement should happen on Wednesday – as they werent expecting the Osprey link to be put up this early…. so a few questions were asked at salute and got given the answer of wednesday… so fingres crossed.

my guess is that it was going to be June that it was announced, which would work for their (both WL and Ospreys) normal 3…[Read more]

Hmm. So, I went to my copy of BP 1ed. That came out before GH. Again, artillery is not allowed to enter woods or rough ground. except along a road.  How then would artillery enter light woods and at what speed?

I checked manhandling artillery thinking that it might give terrain exceptons. No, they still have to follow the same rules.

Thank you Dr. Dave.

My take – [HOWEVER dont forget that this is why campaign units should only be used in campaign scenarios… apart from that see how your opponent wants it played BEFORE you start playing the game.]

So, recrew the gun – you remove models from the unit and use them to resurrect the casualties from the gun crew…

So you have now lost the officer…[Read more]

The weapons chart at the back of the rule book lists HMG under Heavy Weapons, and not Small Arms.

As far as I understand, a HMG at its long range is a penetration 0 weapon vs the front of armoured targets and would not qualify for pins.
