There are some Special plastic glues. I use a German brand, a liquid one called Faller Super Expert. It sets much faster than average plastic glues, the Company also had that, just called expert. Both are very strong.
Some do plastic miniature glueing with super glues. Not my way but for those who want to try there is a trick. These Cyanac…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Shaken timing in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 11 months ago
Yep as George said….
You are shaken at the end of the activation where unit stamina is exceeded. (dont forget disordered if a 6 to hit was rolled)
After a break test you are either broken OR your casualty tokens are dropped to the stamina value

Taking the units involved as normal sized normal cav…
you’ve got 6 dice HTH from the Cav hitting on 3s with a 4+ moral save on the infantry – 2-3 casualties
Infantry hit back on 5s (disorderd) with a 4+ save on the Cav – 0-1 casualties
In combat resolution the infantry get +1… so do stand a chance of getting a draw.
However if the…[Read more]

You need some benefit for spending (Napoleonic suplements) 25 points per pip of Staff Rating….
plus dont forget that you need to spend a ‘move order’ to change formation and there’s no pre-measuring or stating I’ll move x”s forward its Y unit will go to Z location then change formation / hold ground /unlimber etc etc… so even with 3 moves…[Read more]

SteveT started the topic 3 moves more common than 2 in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 11 months ago
This is something I have already noticed as a newbie player.
“3 move orders” are going to occur more than “2 move orders”. This is simply based on the fact that 2 occurs only when you roll exactly 2 less than needed whereas 3 occurs on 3 under, 4 under, 5 under, 6 under…
This strikes me as very strange. Anyone else noticed this? I wonder if…[Read more]

Failing to form a square on our first attempt ever was very unlucky. But it’s going to happen, on average, once in every 36 attempts. After that the infantry were destined to get chopped up. And they were.

They had failed to form a square (p.89 failed to form on a double 1). I was really asking if the artillery support was killed. Seems yes.

Just had this situation:
Cavalry charged a line unit. Alongside the line unit, to its left, was an artillery unit. I think this counts as supporting the infantry.
The line unit did badly and their break test resulted in destruction.
Supports have to do a break test if their friends are lost. But in the case of artillery, looking at the c…[Read more]

George replied to the topic Shaken timing in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 11 months ago
Hi Steve,
I haven’t played the game that much but from what I understand if you exide the units stamina it is shaken. Then, a break test is taken after combat and if the unit passes that it’s casualties are reduced to be equal to the stamina value (4 in your case). Big Al pointed out that there are also rules to hand-to-hand combat such as…[Read more]

Ah yes Al, I can see it now, I was looking for a Hit mod or something, but its on the Formation mod list: attack column 1 dice
Thanks

What is the advantage of Line formation? I can’t see any firing mods. (I can see various Column advantages)
Thank you in advance

Hopefully someone can help me with this…
Cavalry unit charges an infantry unit.
1. Roll hard combat: cavalry scored 7 hits on the stamina 4 infantry.
2. Are they shaken at this point?
3 They pass their break test well. They are left with 3 casualty markers. What happens to the unit? Destroyed or now shaken?
Thanks

Just looking the the Austrians in Clash of Eagles. Page 67 has a small chart to determine Personal Quality Value of commanders. It also references that this is used in conjunction with 94 of the main rule book.
Problem: this appears it might be a references to BP v.1.
(1) So what, are Personal Quality Values?
And

Well, my first unit of cavalry is coming along. Even my wife, who doesn’t much get into my passion for this, finds them detailed and beautiful (I’m not ready to post pics just yet 🙂 ). So, as I worked through I did find that I had to take apart the cavalry and start over. I took my time so as not to damage the pieces. It was also easier than I…[Read more]
