invisible officer replied to the topic West German Farm Board. in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
For a typical German Farm of WW II time you should not add a silo. Silage was common in UK and Scandinavia but most German Farmers still used hay only. A farm in Western Germany sounds like Northwest to me. Mostly smaller ones with some animal raising too. A fruit garden would be typical too, apple trees and some cherry ones.

invisible officer replied to the topic Continued delay of Regia Marina models! in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 4 months ago
There are problems in real world that cause delays for most gaming companies. . Corona and Brexit for example. But also longtime problems with mould makers. Much demand, few makers in UK.
Not everything is done “In house” by warlord. Even something simple like packing material can cause a long delay now.
If just one item comes from abroad…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Points cost and odd stats in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 4 months ago
I GUESS because the real world German 15 cm had more “Bumms” than the 6 “. The mv was bigger in most German 15 cm than in contemporary 6”. Esp. the SKC / 25 was superior. On the other side the projectile weight was higher in MK XXIII 6″, but similar in XXII.

Nat is right following the rules.
But there is no reason to get the game close to real world among gentle men. For example the 88 was sometimes moved for short distances without motor. So in 1940 against French bunkers. With a few rounds on the Sonderanhänger. Slow, hard work. Under fire…….
On other side manhandling a medium gun, hmm…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Light Guns/AA in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 4 months ago
1) light guns using DP are light guns that are able to shoot flights, they by pass Tough & Very Tough but are used during the ships activation -this has been confirmed by the Author on Social Media, if you check out the ‘news from the wardroom!’ thread I’ve put up a flights 101 guide which has all the references of how they work. There is also a…[Read more]

Charge The Guns replied to the topic How do you handle Battalia orders and distance in the forum Pike & Shotte 3 years, 4 months ago
Hi skh25. I think the standard interpretation is, that if you try to issue a battalia order, and it fails, then no one gets the order. There is no picking and choosing. In effect, but adding in extra units, beyond command range, you are increasing the risk of no order getting through to anyone. I don’t see there is any other way to interpret this?

Charge The Guns replied to the topic Tabletop Workshop Buildings in the forum Pike & Shotte 3 years, 4 months ago
Lovely stuff, RR. I’m guessing that these forum entries have been “lost in the ether” for a while – good to see they are flowing through again. I posted something last November that got lost so it could be another 5 months before that shows up. I’d try re-posting, but I have forgotten what it was I posted ! 😜

1) – yes pg 95
2) as heavy AT gun, no it can only pivot (pg 95)
3) heavy artilery needs a TOW, light /medium can be man handeled
4)see 3 -
SteveT started the topic Moving artillery onto the table in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
I’ve seen several places where this question has been asked, all with different answers, so I suspect 1st Ed might have been different….
Anyway…
(1) Is there any differentiation between moving a heavy artillery vs a light artillery? I cannot find one in the rules.
(2) Can you issue an order for a Flak 88 or a Heavy howitzer to move itself?…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Creative models in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
Well, creative models are ever good. Making them more “Yours”
But with the MG I’m with Kar 98K. Or better said, against a K98. 😉 The better option would be a pistol, the German MG gunner’s secondary weapon.
For cases I use to cut pieces of brass wire. Easy to cut and allready the perfect color.

I think the model looks nicer if it is holding the bible, so other models will require some customisation.

Possibly the largest wargame ever played was Waterloo last year at Glasgow University. Little Wars did a nice video about it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTlDWIYPDlg
They used a modified version of BP to run their game which I think sassy a lot about its suitability for such a big game. I think in essence, the speed things up, they left out…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic Units on transport in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
Nick
ParticipantThis happened recently. A transport with a squad in was hit and destroyed by both a panzerfaust and flamethrower coming from same unit. Questions: Does the hit unit for wounds (after d6) get hit by the penetration of the weapons or just their morale level? Would the unit if technically hit by flamer also need a flamer morale…
