What book is the South African Bloodymindedness rule in?

Only the target unit is hit.  The flamethrower functions like a projectile weapon.  Although the range on the flamethrower is so short, that I think you’d be hard pushed to have two enemy units within 6″.

Similarly 5 guys with SMGs spraying fire at an enemy unit.  If there happens to be an intervening unit,  not a single bullet will go anywhere near.

The advanced deployment is usually only Snipers and Artillery Spotters.

Otherwise units must have a special rule that allows  advanced deployment – Russian Scouts for example.

Recce has no effect on deployment at all.

1a.  Sometimes everyone dies 🙂

Cavalry and bikes will break the Top Secret scenario very easily.

Whether you insist they dismount or not, they can probably claim the macguffin in the first turn, (depending on terrain).

It is lways better to try for the beam of a ship, of course that is where the torpedo belt will be.

And they might be hard to hit with, but they can do a whole heck of a lot of damage.

Instant kills may not be the mist fun in games, but then there’s HMS Hood – sunk within 3 minutes, 1400 crew lost.

They look great.

I think that you should follow those guidelines for the first play as you’ll learn how those card impact a force and its counterpart then go to more self created forces as you’ll know what are strength and weakness of your planes.

Let me clarify, it wasn’t our dirst game of BRS, it was out first game after 18 months of enforced absence.

The only special rule is for cover and down.

So all other modifiers apply: pins, range, movement, small target etc.

That’s it.  It’s a bit hidden away.

I hunted through some playtest documents, but couldn’t find any other rule that made it more explicit.  And my original version is packed in a box somewhere, so I can’t look at that.

SCOUTING

Both sides deploy their ships normally, THEN roll for scouting points and possibly redeploy. If both sides were able to redeploy their ships who redeploys 1st?

If you have 7 or more scout points all of your destroyers and cruisers you detached to scout can immediately be deployed on the board can’t they?

I would roll off to see who d…[Read more]

Am I right in assuming that ALL deep deployed carriers can deploy all their aircraft straight away or do you need 10 scouting points?  I am specifically asking about deep deployed carriers.

That is not clear.  The rules for Deep Deployment say you can have ‘any number’ of their planes on the table, but the scouting table implies you need 10 s…[Read more]

Aircraft apply all modifiers except range. Torpedo bombers hit on a 5+ does that mean you add a further +2 because they are firing torpedoes, needing 7+ to hit?

That is not correct. Normal Aircraft apply no modifiers.  Only Kamikaze attacks apply modifiers.

This looks like them:

My Googlski is good, da?

With Panzerfausts you will only get one pin for hitting, but each one that causes damage will add the extra pins from damage.

If all three hit and penetrated and you rolled an unlucky 1,1,1 for damage results, that’s still 4 pins.

I use Perry Miniatures for my 14th Army.  They are wearing BD trousers and shirtsleeves.  They are slimmer than warlord figures, being more realistically scaled, but you don’t notice that on the tabletop.

There is currently a worldwide resin shortage, which will likely make the costs of plastics increase. I don’t know whether that will affect Warlord and other games companies, and in particular the VaS fleets, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

The rule doesn’t say an observer is optional, it says it ‘normally includes an observer’.  If you purchase a sniper from am army list they either come with an observer or they don’t.  The only one that I can think of where there isn’t an observer is the Finnish Simo Haya (but someone may correct me).

For example the German army selector lists a S…[Read more]
