If you are going to be facing historically accurate opponents, then as someone who plays a lot of  German vs US, I would say the German tanks/AT guns won’t care much either way that you have 8 or 9 armour. I know the Chaffe would be more annoying for me to face. Tanks only gets a few good shots per game and you can deny them their best…[Read more]

I know you are coming at this having just 1 box, so it poses a unique challenge

(On the 2 platoon thing being cheating or not: As it’s all point based, it’s all good. Unless you are in some tournament or scenario that specially says 1 platoon max per player. I know when we started it was a way for us to use our then limited pool of figures.)

I…[Read more]

1st Lt vs 2nd Lt.  In my experience, those higher ranked leaders are hard to justify within smaller armies. I think they are better used by experienced players who can better see where a critical rush is called for.  If I were you, I’d stick to 2nd Lt at the moment.  And the 2nd LT does not give you any extra command radius either.

The other th…[Read more]

Ah, yes it does say you US  can use up to 3 in a little additonal note.  That will be interesting come Version 3 where they might tweak MGs, so hold on to your steel hat…

I would try to squeeze in a bazooka if  possible, especially if there are in the box, and if only for the extra order die too. Certainly way higher priority than the medic.  T…[Read more]

Oe thing: are you sure that platoon has 0-3 MGs allowed? (not that it matters as you going for 1 anyway). My US Army Book and the Warlord Army Builder App both show 0-1 ?

I guess you are limited to the Perry box, for now,  but flamethrowers /bazookas might be a good additional purchase, then at least you get anti-tank capability. At the moment,…[Read more]

I think the added BARs is way better than the Medic. Good move.

I don’t play the US but often against them as those BARs hurt.

Random thoughts:

Personally, I would avoid the Leader + 1 assistant, as the moment you take 1 loss it triggers the “now make a morale check for taking 50% losses”. I would go 2 assistants.

Is an upgrade to Veteran for your sniper available? I say that as it often comes down to sniper duels.

MMGs are not that great in BA in some ways (you will…[Read more]

The displacement tonnes amounts vary between sources and if it’s patrol loaded, max loaded or testing.

But the / 500 and round works for all ships

Between v1 (mongoose) and v2 (warlord) a couple of different stats were amalgamated or removed…

So hull is literally the displacement that the ship made.

Perhaps you saw it mentioned here on the website? https://store.warlordgames.com/collections/german-waffen-ss

Yeah , what Nat said. Any of these points issues may become moot soon-ish.

For now,   get the Army Builder app as the seem to update it with the latest points costs and options.

On the question of “why vehicle X” is not included: as WW2 had hundreds of different ones, I suppose they had to draw the line somewhere!

Also I think the designers…[Read more]

Well…V3 rulebook is being released in September and a new armies of Germany is being released early next year.  This will include most units from campaign books as well

So hopefully these lack of consistencies are addressed

Not stated…. but the engine deck is in the top back of the hull so I’d place a hull damage token

There’s an updated community points chart, but apart from that nope this thread is pretty much update.

Well the way platoons are going to be constructed is changing (how we dont know yet)

Plus all the V3 armies of… Books will be bringing in most units from the campaign books – some units will be left to specific campaigns only…h

This was confirmed in the announcement articles 

Being “completely unhistorical” is not fair I think, since you are looking at a snapshot of live war, not a pristine parade ground. In other words,  you are getting a zoomed-in view of a tiny area of battle, with units chaotically interacting in the field already haven taken various losses and gained temporary attachments of all kinds.  You c…[Read more]

Hi Richard, Until the Epic release comes out we can’t be sure how they will model the manipular system.  In the original HC army lists they give Republican legions small units and some special rules around swapping in and out of melee.  We tried this and it was “fiddly”.  We went back to regular sized units jyst the special rules for swapping th…[Read more]

Hi Paolo, all great questions!  I will try my best to answer them.

1. When playing with 15s we halved ranges distances.  e.g. Infantry move 12”/2 = 6”.  Some people have also used centimetres rather than inches.  As long as both sides do the same it is fine.

2. A stand has no official meaning – it is just wargaming short hand for a base with a…[Read more]

That should work fine, Donald 👍.

Welp can tell I don’t look at this forum much…

Short answer is green roll is made when casualties are taken

This is AFTER wound rolls

BEFORE models are removed, which is before moral check (if applicable)

So the are hit at inexperienced, wounded on inexperienced but MIGHT check at regular

Hi Hazed100, and welcome to Napoleonic gaming! 😀

As Nat has said, typically people source their own flags for units, because there are such a variety to choose from.  Warlord sometimes include them in some of their sets, but more often than not you need to source them.  Some people paint them themselves, but this can be quite tricky.

I really l…[Read more]
