Also it allow easier storage as the models can be removed from their base/peg.
I love the Virai minis but on they don’t fit most of the standard foam spaces ^^

Hi everyone,
I’m stocking Virai models for quite some time now and didn’t go that because of the two things (beside the actual world situation that prevent gathering with friend to play games):
– my paint scheme (almost done)
– flying pegs
I about to discuss about the second point here. The issue is once they are glued to the model the tend…[Read more]

Cheers Al, those base numbers you just mentioned are what we used for our first game. But cm instead of inches eh…..mmm
Will try it.

SteveT started the topic Small unit frontages in the forum Pike & Shotte 3 years, 10 months ago
Looking at page 23, why do small infantry units have the same frontage as standard units?
I was thinking that 2 small units can align to fight 1 standard unit, but this wouldn’t be the case according to p 23.
Cheers

Hello all,
Want to give the game a try but the only ancients/medievals I have are 15mm based up for DBM (40mm frontages)
Our table is 6 x 4. So we need a reduction in scale to deal with the not-a-12′-long-table ,as well as smaller figure size.
We can’t use 28mm frontages as the number of figures needed would skyrocket. I know the anything…[Read more]

I have been playing war-games over Skype/Facetime long before the ‘anti-social distancing’ of the plandemic. Works pretty well!

SteveT started the topic Loss of Division Commander in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 10 months ago
What happens when a Division Commander is lost? I assumed his group can only use initiate orders from now on…meaning those far from the enemy are reduced to just sitting and watching. Or can the General of the army ride in and at least give an order to one of the units, or can he indeed take on the roll of his lost divisional commander?

SteveT started the topic A question of Support in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 10 months ago
We had a situation of 1 Spanish and 1 British cavalry locked in hand combat. The Spanish had another cavalry unit in Support, behind its friend in front, but slightly to the side.
(1) Could the Spanish unit that is in support still do an Initiative Order to manoeuvre around and get ready for a charge to the British flank? (I assume they c…[Read more]

The Leibfahne of Bavarian 18th cenury foot was White, in center the “Muttergottesbild”, Maria with child. In very early 18th century some regiments had it, some not. It became standard around 1705. In most cases the borders had the blue/White Rautenmuster. In that time each battalion, even the first, had an “Ordinarfahne”, the all over blue white…[Read more]

Master Chief replied to the topic SAS Deception Teams in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
Good question on stacking of the Deception ability of the SAS Deception team in the Overlord book (page 141). The same question can be asked on the Sabotage ability of the German Brandenburgers in the Ostfront book (page 46).
I suspect these are oversights on the writers’ part, and the intention is not to stack. Then again we can also imagine…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Battalion Questions in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 10 months ago
The armies used no battalion color codes in that time. Tactical the units had been seperated on the field, so no real need for that.
A small problem, around 1700 Bavarian Grenadiers wore a pistol at the belt. They served with the mother unit. Still throwing grenades, heading attacks or in line at the flanks.
One way to give the battalions…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic 25-Pounder in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
Well, the US 105 mm use(d) semi fixed amo, the 25 pdr and the German 105mm seperated one. Much less fatigue with those.
The German one had the highest muzzle velocity of the three, 540 m/sec. 25 pdr 530 but the US one just 472.
Bundeswehr got a version of the US gun with a German Rheinmetal barrel. L/32, 640 m/sec. The USA never thou…[Read more]

I recently got a Marlborough’s Wars Starter Army set here in the states. It let’s me build 4 infantry battalions, 1 cavalry regiment, artillery, and commanders. I’m well on my way to getting my first army set.
I’m building War of Spanish Succession Bavarians. What I know about them is that an infantry regiment consisted of 2, then later in the…[Read more]

If you trust sources that tell fuss like ” 25 pounder had a ROF of 6 per minute. 105 had an rof of 3. ” I fear there is no argumenting. Just try contemporary German ones. like the Datenblätter 1944 Blatt G 116II on the 105mm le FH 18/40. Schuß min 6 – 8 . For a short time like 25 pdr even much faster.
The amo loading process of both was…[Read more]

Yes I think the Warlord Celtic Warhounds can be added to the Warlord USMC sprue to create the USMC war dog team.

I know they didn’t get operational but is there any plans for Japanese jets?
or should I just get an me262 and run it as a Ki201 protype?

Looks like the Dust figures are a bit too tall, according to this pictorial comparison.

On a side note will these DUST models (see attached photo) fit the Bolt Action scale?
