invisible officer replied to the topic Epic Waterloo – Prussian Army List – Jagers in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 5 months ago
Historically the Jäger in war of Liberation are named Schützen. For example the Schlesische Schützen Battalion. A Jäger unit. So the term would be 100 % correct.
There was a problem with producing enough Jägerbüchsen / Rifles so some used carbines or shortened muskets.
The terms got used long time for same troops, so Fallschi…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic German Rifle Grenades Tournament Legal? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 5 months ago
note on ‘legal’..
Its down to the TO wether or not to allow units & equipment from campaign books, and even which ones – so if its not in the core rule book or ‘armies of…..’ then its always best to clarify with the TO

Nat replied to the topic Torpedos hit that bad? in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 5 months ago
There are occassions where you can hit at extreme range with a torpedo….
when you are in the ‘large shilloute’ of the target & the target is stationary or you are using a T4 torpedo (KM – only available on Uboats after 1944)
You’ll also notice that trying to hit a fast moving destroyer is pretty much always impossible with torpedos (-1 for…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic HE Pen and damage to units in buildings. in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago
Buildings – they give the extra protection rule which makes them safer as it effectviely negates +1 PEN – NOTE this rule states modified as useual so tells you the PEN modifiers are used.
Medics – key point there’s a German DDay Theater List that gives MMGs +1 PEN against infantry… they’d still save those hits (well possibly :p)

Big Al replied to the topic Forming Skirmish to Enter Woods in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 6 months ago
<p style=”text-align: right;”>Basically, yes. Changing formation takes a full move, so your unit moves up to the terrain(1st move, then changes formation (2nd move) then enters the terrain (3rd move).</p>
That is per the rules in the main rulebook. -
Nat replied to the topic Spotter and Transports in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago
Ok, one question is… Do you mean the Spotter, as in the artillery /mortar unit upgrade? Or are you meaning the Forward Artillery Observer, the HQ unit? – I mention this because I see a lot of people confusing the two game terms with real world terminology and therefore using spotter when talking about the FAO!
However…..
If you mean the a…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Timing of Artillery Declaring a Target and choosing indirect fire in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago
basically the timing is:
you pull the order die and decide the gun is going to fire
you pick what and how you are going to fire ie HE or AP, indirect or direct
opponent decides to go down or not
you measure range
you roll the dice.* (including to see if hit by the FAOs artillery strike) -

Nat replied to the topic Battle of Britain Starter in the forum Blood Red Skies 1 year, 6 months ago
The battle of britian starter box went out of production a couple of years ago unfortunatly and was (Eventually) replaced with the Battle of Miday box, there was a direct ‘battle of britian bundel’ which is something different.
But yeah this is one of those games that doesnt actually NEED a starter box to get started in with….all you need is…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Epic Black Powder Big Issue HELP in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 7 months ago
No I don’t think there is anything wrong with you. Epic clearly means more figures to the unit than normal, which does look good. But as others have pointed out the Epic battalions fill the same frontage as their 28 mm equivalents. Similarly the full scale buildings also cramp the space on the battlefield unrealistically. I have wargamed in 15mm…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Infantry Forming Square in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 7 months ago
You are referring to the optional rule in Clash of Eagles, for units in line formation with the must form square rule. The command test is used to determine whether the unit forms square, a disordered square or none at all. As big Al said it is not in the rules per se. I don’t use it myself.

Big Al replied to the topic Infantry Forming Square in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 7 months ago
You have to be wary of podcasters making these statements. If it isn’t in the main rulebook, then it is either an alternative rule suggestion from one of the supplement books (including the rules that come with the Epic set) or it is a house rule that they are passing off as an actual rule.
it is certainly not in the main BP2 rulebook.

Nat replied to the topic General doubts in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 7 months ago
What can I say….I like the game, but feel its let down in part by the rulebook. I mean some parts of the rulebook could do with being tidied up as the references they need to make sense are missing. Or the rules have been changed and theres still references to those rules in the book (most noticably in the stats section with refits about DC r…[Read more]

Fighters can attack MTBs which is why they have an entry in the hit chart…. any thing bigger is too heavily armoured for their calibre ammo to do seriouse harm to.

Nat replied to the topic General doubts in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 7 months ago
Only during the gunnery phase.
Reason- moving in to base contact is just moving in to range and not maneouvering over the ship there for the local X trait trigger doesnt activate.
Note its only Local X that triggers during the movement phase not the AA battery itself. ie a ship with AA battery 3 + local 2 will use 2 AD against every flight…[Read more]
