Yes you can. Manhandled Artillery can move a maximum of 6 inches, regardless of how low the command roll is. So, even though you roll and get 3 moves, your manhandled Artillery can only make one move of a total of 6 inches.

The shooting phase is a seperate phase and so, the artillery can fire during that phase.

I’ve recently started alternative armies for BA in 15mm. (Flames of War).  Base them on metal washers as it stops them falling over.  I went for 15mm diameter. 10mm clashes won’t fit on lots of the smaller figures built in bases, and 20mm just leaves them looking too spread out. For a mortar or MMG team, I use regular BA single-man base.

Greg, I would edit your post ASAP to take out that email if you still use it, or every single internet bot will be spamming you soon.

If you read through the special rules section you  will see that some are recommended for veterans. In particular Elite 4+ which allows them to remove disorder on a D6 4+ and Reliable which adds 1 to the command test, making them move more often and further. It is really up to your particular scenario.

Mixed formation can be either lines or columns this is clearly stated in the rules for mixed formations

1 – yes, 2 from each openeing
1b – I’ll need to double check… but I think normal targeting rules apply … ie doesnt matter which side of the building you are looking out of, but you have to all target the same thing unless you have a 1 shot (or limited shot) weapon – or Indirect, but thats a different issue :p

2 – short answer is HE ignores…[Read more]

Basically, what Charge the Guns has said.

the main thing to remember about a brigade order is that the units involved have to be within 6 inches of each other when the order is issued and end the turn within 6 inches of each other.

I don’t know about P&S, but in Hail Caesar, supports move with the fighting unit wherever possible. If P&S is the s…[Read more]

The round badge with a pip was really the Ober…….   But hardly ever used with that  term Obersoldat.  It was Oberschütze, Oberjäger, Oberkanonier and so on.

Hardly enough on the sheet for all uses, incl. the trade badges. So a Oberfunker needs two.

The chevrons are for Gefreiter, Obergefreiter and Stabsgefreiter.   ~  Corporal…[Read more]

In 25th army in Malaya most taken from shops and civilists got painted olive.

The Japanese made ones had been painted olive or in a light yellowish brown.  They stayed at home to hide the plans for invasion, saving space on ships  and increase landing speed.  Normally the army cyclist units had homemade ones.

They had special types, in…[Read more]

Similar to HM forces German Heer used trade badges. These small round badges denoted special abilities or jobs.  Normally worn on right forearm.

Like radio operator, Farrier, ordnance, Feuerwerker and some more.  In 28 mm the yellow sign on the green would be hardly different.  Gothic F or S for example….  SS had similar but on black.

Key point here  – “Japanese were particularly known for their use of bicycles (generally stolen from the local population) of which the campaign in Malaya in 1942 is perhaps the best example.”

They werent gernerally issued, but stolen … so any dark colour or hastly re-painted with tank /truck paint /mud etc would work…. I’d go for a mix of…[Read more]

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]

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]

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.

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]

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]

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]

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]

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
