Nat replied to the topic Rules Question Thread in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 1 month ago
So we have 2 conflicting absolutes… on one hand tiny units section says they can only can form march column (but only on roads and tracks… unlike all other units that can form it any where) or their default of skirmish order. Then on the other hand you have the statement that all regular units can form square.
personally I’d take the sp…[Read more]

Ok got my pdf rule versionon to the iPad!
Sorry the formation is just called skirmish order as stated pg 22 in the v2 pdf. Pg 24 makes it quite clear that tiny units can only be in skirmish order, so they can’t form square.
also in Napoleonic you can have normal and large units in skirmish order…

Do tiny infantry have must form square? I thought they could only form skirmish formation?

just to clarify turrets can rotate unless they’ve suffered a turret jam result then they are locked in to a set arc….although I know not all clubs play the turret jam rules…

A tank is a unit the same as an MMG team or a rifle squad and doesnt have an exception in the rule to how orders work….Basically if it doesnt have an ambush order or no order next to it then no it cant reaction fire.

If a tank is assaulted by infantry, let’s say from more than 6″ away, does the tank always get to fire, even if it has fired already this turn?
Unsure.
Thank you

They are rare if using the lists to create your army
In Albion Triumphant 1, (mid + late), and clash of Eagles they are limited to 1 regiment per brigade (so you could have up to 4 /5 battalions in a single brigade as Legere) and in AT2 only 1 in 4 battalions can be upgraded to Legere across the whole army!

Steeljackal replied to the topic Theater Selectors (Britain – Overlord Book) Question in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 1 month ago
Theater selectors have units and slots other than a reinforced platoon available. I don’t have that specific manual, but looking at easy army I see that some lists from that book have the free Forward Artillery observer and some don’t.

Having trouble figuring out the 2 body pieces and how they attach to the waist. However I do it, I get a sort of gap near the waist. Perplexing.
Anyone else had problems or know of any detailed instructions?

Nat replied to the topic French Legere units in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 1 month ago
They dont lower the shooting dice in skirmish order as the whole unit skirmishes. Its only mixed formations that drop shooting down to 1.
Legere units can be ordered in to Line, mixed line, assault coloumn, mixed assault coloumn, square, coloumn of companies (Clash of Eagles), Marching Coloumn or Skirmish formation.
You pay 3 points to add the…[Read more]

Intresting conundrum here…. I suppose because I’ve only played the game against beer & preztel gamers or historical gamers we’ve always tried lone wolf or pairs … we’ve also not played at about 600 points .. so 4 -5 planes with a mix of pilot skills
Now I’d think about dropping the points but not the board size… also play around with what…[Read more]

Warlord also have 40mm. Rectangular and square bases too.
I who keep the models separate for team weapons, use 40mm bases that are perfect for weapon and gunner.

invisible officer replied to the topic What’s your base of choice in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 1 month ago
My base of choice is high enough to give a good grip option. Not making the guys touch the miniature. Much less breaking or bending.
It is also easier to paint with such a handle. Clear plastic is no option for me. It is not invisible. And my big guns are far too heavy, my 21 cm mortar would break clear plastic.
My material is cheap…[Read more]

Hmm, that RM project looks like a peasant’s cart, not a military one.
Why are peoples not using the superb Warlord one?
New stuff? I would be much more happy with a field kitchen or the German amo cart.

“Yeah it was a confusion over team weapon crew losses vs artillery crew losses. Wonder why they decided to treat them differently…”
It is one of many approximations, and it is not illogical.
An MG is more susceptible to jamming or damage than an artillery cannon.
MG and mortar could be damaged by a small caliber bullet hitting ai…[Read more] -
SteveT replied to the topic What’s your base of choice in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 1 month ago
I use the Warlord round ones for all team weapons as so far they all fit.
For all artillery I use a consistent size as I like conformity in the game —6cm x 12cm MDF— either bought as such or cut myself from long pieces from the art shop, works out very inexpensive indeed. The material seems to adhere well to metal (and all artillery I have is m…[Read more]
