Stuart Harrison
Participant“I agree with Warlord answer, because spotter can’t fire or assault, excalty like a medic and a chaplain. ”
Steeljackal – the gap in your “exactly” claim is that medics and chaplains ARE non-combatants under the laws of armed conflict, a spotter is not.
The first two aren’t allowed to fire or assault based on thei…

By this point in the war the Free French where entirely equipped by the US
however 1st Army (France) – Wikipedia as a whole…but if you focus on 2nd Armored Division (France) – Wikipedia
Also if you look at Campaign : Battle of the Bulge it has a Free French Europe platoon.

VinUnleaded started the topic Epic ACW Questions in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 4 months ago
I am very excited about this new range and just finished painting the free frames you get from January Wargames Illustrated Magazine.
Was wondering about the Gettysburg Battle Mat Warlord Games is selling for this range, as the photo on Warlords website shows a different area than that on the manufacturer’s website (Geek Villian).
Something does…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Ground Scale in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
Steeljacket, it’s normal to have ground and weapon scales that are different from minatures scale. BA is strange anyway in having a 1 miniature = 1 soldier and in normal sized units ratio but guns are normally used as singles, not batteries.
The buildings are done by most as symbols for rural area, not true single ones.
The ground scale, gi…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic Ground Scale in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
Sorry I don’t understand. But how do you consider scales other than +/- 1:56?
How do you represent 1.2km on a 6feet table if the miniatures and scenery remain 1:56 scale? It gets all out of scale, how do you make roads, buildings and units that fit 1.2km into just 6feet table (which by the scale of the miniatures is only 100m)?
If in reality in…[Read more] -

VinUnleaded replied to the topic The New Epic Battles Sounds Exciting in the forum General Discussion 3 years, 4 months ago
I just painted up the frames you receive for free from Wargames Illustrated.
They were easy to paint using the techniques suggested in that magazine issue, but I adjusted them to my age old techniques.
Got them done fast and they look EPIC and AWESOME.
Just dont immediately go from painting a 28mm to these.
Instead wait a day to let your eyes…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Japanese native irregulars in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
@SteveT – yes, they are in Flames of Empire Book
@Nick – As per the FAQ they dont get any army special rules….how ever you can get the Austrailian /British Native Irregulars, or get the Japanese Spearmen and remove the spears replacing them with rifles.
They would be the people of the ‘greater east asia co-prosperity sphere’ who belived the…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic French Forces of the Interior in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
“Use” is the problem. The old FRench tanks had only that one true action mentioned by me. True Resistance units had no tank actions, only the semi regular 13th Dragons p. formed post D Day .
The resistance got many German armored vehicles but only used them for demonstrations against rearguards. Like the French ones. No true fights. To use…[Read more]
