SteveT replied to the topic Japanese Minis in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 2 months ago
I have both of these too, and I didn’t think it was too noticeable, except for:
(1) the SS that were raised up on 1 leg – that really added to their height.
(2) The SS jackets are bulkier, even compared to some other German infantry types. You can see, for example, if you try to mix and match some of the SS arms with regular German bodies – t…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Some Rule Question in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 2 months ago
A common house rule (which I may put into a Wardroom FAQ) is that base to base is always point blank range irrespective of the actual distance.

Ok you can shoot either the Building or the unit…
AH From the latest FAQ… HE also bypasses the hard cover a building gives (as well as the extra protection)…. hmmm intresting… I forgot that part (I’m blaming the lack of games in the last year :'( )

1, yes models out of line of sight can be hit
2, correct… all modifiers apply when direct firing IF you hit then you place the template.
3a, if you target the unit so you would need 6s as they are in hard cover.
3b, building collapses… correct “HE value of 2D6 or greater hits” is needed before you check to see if the build could…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Base sizes for Epic ACW? in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 2 months ago
Figures per base are only important in terms of if they look right. The key thing is that the frontage of the units are the same at each unit size.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Base sizes for Epic ACW? in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 2 months ago
BP 2 and GH were both written before Epic existed. BP2 does give the principles for base sizes, the frontages are what matters and so the standard units for cavalry and skirmishers will be the same as for the close order infantry. See p.16 of BP2, 200-250mm standard and 120-150mm small, you can change these up or down depending on how many epic…[Read more]

The biggest impact of the tarento raid wasnt the material damage but rather the psychological effects. At Pearl Harbour the psychological effects had the opposite effect and instead of making the US fearful of the Japanese it made them angry / venganceful

The attack on Tarento was far away from completely successfull. Six Battleships in harbor, only three hit. Two back in service in 4 and 6 months. Two = a third of the Italian battleships ready for action, are not affected.
They tried bombing the oil depot too and failed totally.

Nat replied to the topic Detecting Submarines not yet on the board in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 2 months ago
Hi Jaesen,
If you look in the thread ‘news from the wardroom’ I’ve put a cheat sheet that covers most things about the game.
But to answer your question Subs that are undetected & running deep can go ‘hidden’ (my term) and be removed off the board. When a sub is deployed /gone hidden the subs owner notes which 12″ square its in – it cant leave…[Read more]

George started the topic Markers for Black Powder in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 3 months ago
Hello,
I designed my own markers for Black Powder rules. They are on 3/4″ round labels that you can print and put on a larger, 1″ plastic counter that I found online and at teacher supply stores. They normally come in 4 colors (red, blue, green, and yellow) but other colors are available.
You can find them on my blog post…[Read more]

VinUnleaded started the topic Warlord Games is having difficulties? in the forum General Discussion 3 years, 3 months ago
So, I ordered the new Gettysburg Epic Battles ACW battle mat for the second time now.
The first time Warlord never shipped it after taking my money and after 6 weeks I cancelled the order.
It was in stock.
Then it went out out of stock, but became available again last week, so I ordered it as soon as I received the in stock email…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Map size in Glory Hallelujah in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 3 months ago
The dishonesty is not related to GH but to the assertion by modern rules writers that scales are not important, when they are actually intrinsic to game design. As I said I wasn’t criticising you in particular, GH is probably my favourite supplement, it got me playing ACW. I think that Jim has shown that what we take for granted in historical g…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Map size in Glory Hallelujah in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 3 months ago
Since I started Napoleonic wargaming in the 1970’s I have always enjoyed the process of scenario creation and it has therefore been straightforward to adapt BP to historical scenarios. However I must say I find the ‘modern’ fad for rejecting scales as being too ’70’s’ a dishonest approach to rule writing. BP is no different to other ‘modern’ sets…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Map size in Glory Hallelujah in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 3 months ago
The issue is that most of warlord games are what I call ‘frame work’ systems not ‘RAW’ systems.
What I mean by that is they are a frame work for clubs and groups to build upon/tweek to fit existing models or terrain or experience from other systems compared to say GW or Privateer Press’ RAW systems which tell you everything from unit base size to…[Read more]

As usual the scratch built Model is made from balsa, cardboard and metal foil, some wire and a lot of glue.
A pity that Warlord is not doing new model types in the moment. Add snail speed UPS and ….
