SteveT started the topic Hungarian German tanks in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 2 months ago
Hello,
Hungarians can include a German tank.
That would mean 2 tanks were possible in a single platoon in this case: 1 from the given Hungarian list + the German option?
Cheers!

Good idea to use a template. I did a quick search and found this on the market. They come in different sizes, to fit different sized vehicles.

I use BP for historical scenarios and if set up care, it works well. However I prefer to use 15mm figures which increases the area represented on the table. The full points system is explained in the first edition of the rules but not in the second edition. This link shows one example of my games LINK

1 – depends on what you mean by historical, unless you are looking at playing on a table the size of a tennis court with 101 charts and stuff like that there will always be an elament of game play
2- yes in the suplements (eg Albion Triumphant 1 &2 + Clash of Eagles)

Hello all,
Thinking of getting into this game, for Napoleonic initially.
(1) I’ve heard the rules are more toy soldier than historical? Is that overly critical? I don’t need too much detail but I like rules to be logical and reflect what went to reasonably.
(2) does it have a points system? If not, are you just fighting the same scena…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Prussian sub-commanders in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 2 months ago
We have to apply the main rules to the sub commander situation. So when a sub commander fails an order he can give no further orders this turn, but the brigade commander can continue giving orders.
To understand this it is important to remember than the late Prussian Brigades were the size of other nation’s Divisions, which would have 3 or 4 …[Read more]

ps – for what its worth if Cunningham had been the british admiral as a Brit I would have liked it! How about we see/ hear about the lesser known leaders in these historical based games? (look at waterloo – everyones heard of Sir Auther Wellesley (but not by his name!), some of picton & Prince of Orange but what about about general Hill? co…[Read more]

SteveT replied to the topic COVID-19 Shipping times. in the forum General Discussion 4 years, 2 months ago
Michael, I live outside the UK and have placed several orders from various shops. The problem is not the companies posting them out but the planes sitting on the runways, waiting until they fill up their cargo holds since so few planes are scheduled right now, so each flight has to count.
I waited 3-4 weeks for my last order, and tracking said…[Read more]

A rather generic idea ..would be… all of the men would be european flesh colour
British line Infantry – black shakos, dark red tunics with (colour -dependant on regiment) facings, white /grey trousers, white straps with light brown packs and ammo case on the belt, black shoes and waiste belt, grey roll on top of the packs
French Line Infantry…[Read more]

Semantics?
We are concerned with the era 1770 – 1830. So a any action of 1741 is …. . My old German university teachers woud have said: “Thema verfehlt, Setzen . Sechs.” (Wrong Topic, sit down, worst note possible) And same those at my Oxford time.
Worse. It was a siege. Intended to win a town. Fought at the coast and in harbor. It was not…[Read more]

Hmm, the Sturmtiger was designed for street fighting, but was rarely used in that role. The only true one was in Warsaw uprising.
Two from Sturm Mörser Kompanie 100 being part of Kampfgruppe SS-Ogruf. von dem Bach (Abt. Ia Tgb-Nr. 110/4/44 g)
But do we really want to play forces that include the Dirlewanger scum?

Just noticed that a nicely presented version is available on the BRS dedicated page, but it’s the September version, not the December one.
I should update the french version by the way. -
