invisible officer replied to the topic Can Medic attendants shoot? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago
The answers are 99% correct, 100% for the rules but the often written Geneva Convention thing is wrong. In real world medics and hospitals are just limited to self defence and defence of the wounded.
So a military doctor, being an officer, wore in many armies a pistol (or even sword like British on parade) . Hospitals had rifles and often…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic BP2 – clear shot in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 8 months ago
OK yes understood. Your interpretation of the rules is correct according to the rules as written which determine it as a clear target because the leader model at the centre of the firing unit can see more that half of the target unit’s frontage.
The leader model is used for determining visibility to speed up the game, but in this example it…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Where to use Guards infantry selection in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago
Just a quick point… Easy Army is a 3rd party tool – made and maintained by ONE guy… if you email him he’ll sort out any list issues.
However to answer your question.. when a new unit is said to be added to an existing selector it should go in both the compulsary & optional squad choices unless stated otherwise (normally by saying 0-x can be…[Read more]

No clue as yet. Sign up to the Warlord newsletter where it will be announced first. They will announce the pre-order dates and deals.

Big Al replied to the topic Charges in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 8 months ago
Not quite.
the unit can charge an enemy unit regardless of whether it can see the enemy unit or not at the beginning of the turn.what is all important is
1) the charging unit can see the target at the beginning of the charge move, which is the final move into contact. This could be the very first move or the third move earned due to the command…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic BP2 – clear shot in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 8 months ago
Just seen this. The maths is interesting for nerds like me. If it is an clear shot the unit fires 3 dice getting an average of 1.5 hits (on 4+), an unclear shot gives it 1 hit (on 5+), if you reduce dice to two dice with a clear shot it gets 1 hit. To be extra nerdy, probably only 1 dice has a clear shot and 1 dice an unclear shot which gives 0.5…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Mixed order and attack columns in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 9 months ago
Yes p.20-1 of the rulebook only adds to the lack of clarity as they managed to avoid mentioning attack columns. Your interpretation is certainly a valid one, given a lack of clarity from the authors. However I suspect that this would drive you towards separate units of skirmishers because a column screened by its own skirmishers within 12 inches…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Mixed order and attack columns in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 9 months ago
I am afraid the answer is not as simple as the question. I would say that yes an attack column in mixed formation is still an attack column and gets the morale bonus, because the rules define that the unit in mixed formation is still treated as one unit not two. Thus, as you say, when fired at form the flank or rear it is still an attack column.…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Turn on the Spot Rule in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 9 months ago
When conducting a Reverse move – that is moving backwards – you can normaly only move at half distance for the vehicle and have zero turns.
Turn on the spot means that you can move the full speed ofthe vehicle BACKWARDS in a straight line then do a single 180deg pivot at the end…. thats it

There is a little activity here on the forums, but most of the conversations happen over on Facebook or the Official Discord server.

Nat replied to the topic Should I introduce my oldman to BA with his old 1/72 scale soldiers in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 9 months ago
@SenInt – washer / spacer would be the correct term..
As an aside 1/72 is pretty much 20mm scale.

Nat replied to the topic Spanish army / Mixed Formation in the forum General Discussion 1 year, 9 months ago
Sorry dont normally look in the General forum – this sort of thing gets more notice in the Historical /black powder forum.
BUT to answer the question, a battalions skirmishers are just a company (or 2) who are skirmish trained so you’d use the standard models – a comon approach is just to base them individually as opposed to groups like with the…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Vehicle Stat Cards in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 9 months ago
the original BA vehicle stat cards where with the tank war releases… some other units got them but WL seem to have stopped doing them some time ago.
As GeneralJimbo says Easy Army added it as an option about a year ago after people kept asking the same question as the OP

Nat replied to the topic Thoughts on using Spanish guerrillas in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 9 months ago
so lets see….each unit of Guerrillas can be used in one of the following ways per turn.
I) One French order to reserves suffers a -1 to SR. If they fail then resolve a unit of Guerillas firing at them, If the fail was by 1 then they take an extra casulty marker in addition to the shooting attack, if they fail by box cards (12) then the F…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Thoughts on using Spanish guerrillas in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 9 months ago
I’d be tempted to do the following, a Spanish or British Penisular army may choose one of the following options:
0-1 Partisan band (brigade)
Brigade comander at SR 6 (all units MUST take unreliable at -3 points per unit) 0 points OR SR7 (0 points)
1+ Guerilla units – each with option to change size to tiny, or normal or large at -13 /+…[Read more] -

Iirc it says add 2 for 15 points… which would be 15 points for the pair
Yes it’s discounted… but they are limited to front arc only

Nat replied to the topic DoW List CoE in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 9 months ago
Well the rules are…. a little bit open to interpretation.. they say you can take 25% allies from X list
Now that would indercate that it should be a legal force (ie 1 Div Cmdr, 1+ Infantry etc)… HOWEVER this is a framework system and in reality you often had brigades sent to support another division*… so, check with your gaming buddies and…[Read more]

Oh I’m on your side…If you’re going to include something, include it for everything. But like I said, WL have a habbit of being un-consistant 🙁

Nat replied to the topic cost of Spanish Guerrillas? in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 9 months ago
A little defense for the omissions from the points summery section – they are the points for non historical pickup lists using the mix and match brigades, and some units (such as Partisans, both Spanish & Russian) dont appear in these. The section with all the units and back ground info are there for the people doing historical lists /matchups &…[Read more]
