Fair enough, Garry! I just thought it worth adding.

Big Al, ‘failed to mention’, I think you will find, I thought it was irrelevant to the discussion. All the best Garry

Further to what Garry has said, the centrepoint of the unit frontage is generally used if your units are based a little differently. If you have, say, six bases each consisting of four figures, you will probably find that you do not have a central figure. So, using the unit’s front centre makes more sense. If, like me, you have six bases c…[Read more]

BP is pretty clear that the only range that matters is the distance between the leader model/centre of front to the closest visible base of the target. If this distance is in range, the whole of the firing unit and the whole of the target are in range. The rules explicitly states this.  The best way to picture it, for muskets, is the 18 inch…[Read more]

Thanks for posting this, I wondered what the differences were. I have too many 15mm already to divert to Epic. Anyway regarding your question, I would have thought a leader model was the same in all formats, it is the leader model that determines visibility not a leader base, so in a 13.5 mm model of 5 ish mm wide, it cuts down the options. The…[Read more]

The German AT gun servicewas ranked by size.

8,8 and 12,8 cm AT guns had been part of the Atrmy and Corps artillery.   So not in division.  They got used mainly to defend “Schwerpunkte” where large enemy Tank forces had been expected.  The weight caused the static use, sometimes under concrete.  It was essential to protect the flanks.  And g…[Read more]

1) yes under the points system in the rulebook Carriers include the number of flights in the stats,  these are chosen (type and role) when you write the list – you can end up with more flights (cost wise) than the carrier cost you quite easily!!

2) Yep for a slight chance of a catastrophic explosion (6 to damage, 4+ to confirm, 10 on a D10…[Read more]

I’d lean to the view that its platoons that cant be mixed not the force as a whole… this is backed up by the fact you can take armoured platoons alongside infantry platoons in the stalingrad campaign book.

Beat me to it! 😆

better picture of the 2nd rate!

I think you’ve stumped the people who play!  (I’ve not played the game yet so don’t want to answer)

Might be worth asking on FB /emailing the service guys to pass on to the rules team

So Gabrio has just posted this on FB!…. my guess is possibly an end of the month pre-order?

My wallet hopes not :p

TBH with dice, I agree, with the changes that warlord made to VaS from mongooses v2 beta, I was surprised that they didnt move over to the D10 to hit with more possible modifiers – afterall they make Cruel Seas which is a D10 to hit.

Size stat…. thats going to be a lot of grey area’s… such as small pre-dreadnought battleships & super…[Read more]

The AD doesn’t equate directly to 1:1 for AA…

Its an approximation of effectiveness

Somethings lean towards gameplay and others to simulation… I like this game as an into level game to the world of ww2 historical naval gaming…if you catch my drift

Yeah… I’ve had to accept that warlord do framework games, not rulesets 😝

if you pop over to the ‘news from the wardroom’ thread I’ve put some documents about the gameplay including a ‘cheat sheet’ for the full turn order so your not flipping through the book all the time..

theres also a house rules document that helps cover some of the points… however about the overhorizan type 93 shot… its a Beyond Horizon Shot,…[Read more]

yeah I’ve questioned this as well…. (and some of the online people got snarky over it…but meh )
however the clearest way round it (for a game play on the table perspective) is to place the smoke behind the model touching the base – and yes this will allow LoS to be drawn over the ship thats laying the smoke.  This is the way I play it… but…[Read more]
