An idea from cruel seas is just to use little glass beads/ pebbles instead

Non aryans? But you ask for the Italians.   No racist ideology problems for the Nazi scum.

Late 43  15.000 volunteers went to Germany for training to form 29. Waffen-Grenadier – Division der SS = Italienische SS Division 1.  But 9.000 soon got kicked out, being of no military use.

It went to Italy as : Six Grenadier and a Füsilier Batt…[Read more]

Yeah RAW (and confirmed in the FAQ) is 0 flights can be used for scouting….

However the House Rule I like is when allocating ships to scouting you may replace up to a 1/3rd of any (/all) carriers flights with the Aircraft X trait (where X is the number of flights you replace).  You can then do it that these Aircraft X can then be allocated in…[Read more]

Light Infantry… depending on the unit (and the supplement your using) can deploy in one of 4 formations, depends on how YOU as the general want to deploy them!

Line (0 skirmishers)
mixed (33% skirmishers)
Light infantry mixed (50% skirmishers (rounding up IIRC)) – this is found in the clash of eagles supplement
skirmish (100% skirmishers) – if…[Read more]

When moving, the ship must end the turn on the table and not overlapping another ship.  I do go with during movement overlapping is fine (stops tactical blocking).  As only the bridge is the location of the ship I’d go with so long as the bridge doesnt go off the table then you are fine.

age 25, Ranger squad. Change ‘Rangers Lead the Way!’ Special
Rule to:
Rangers lead the way! Units of Rangers are allowed to make a Run move after both sides have finished set-up, but before the first turn of the game. During this move, the unit cannot assault
enemy units, and cannot be targeted by enemies in Ambush.

Yep… if you work out the points a number of units across all 3 books are a few points out …

Brunswick vanguard Battalions are a point over costed, the Nassau Jage Coy is 2 points UNDER costed…. the British Congreve & Howitzer artillery units  end up being 4 points under costed… then you get the change in books as to how much downgrading…[Read more]

Precisely historically accurate unit sizes are not particularly important in skirmish-scale games as the action is  not taking place on the parade ground, but mid-war or mid-fight, where forces varied due to shortages, official reorganisation, or on some temporary detachment/attachment at this scale at this point in time. Of course something…[Read more]

Is it still happening? We have done upgrades on the forum which may have corrected this.

Great job! Nice work.

Its normally a 3 month pre-order window with Warlord.  And is down on the UK site as as release date January….which can be any time in January :

One of the reasons why they’ve split the website down is to allow for delays in releases however so far its only been a couple of weeks between the US & UK with other systems (VaS, BA) that I’ve heard…[Read more]

lack of concistancy in a warlord book!

Ok jokes aside, the Armies of … entries are generic to cover multiple years and doctirine /organisation changes (for example the Soviet LMG squad 6-12 men, 1 to 2 LMGs only in mid war where they ever 12 man with 2 LMGs) where as the Campaign entries are (in theory at least) true to that campaign.

(ps this…[Read more]

(disclaimer… not got my Russians on the table yet)

yeah fair point on the Artillery front…
As a Russian I want multiple small bdes for the breakpoint and the fact that half of my Bde commanders have to be SR7.  So multiple bdes of 1 regiment works better for me (again in theory)

However, dont forget that BP is a framework rule system, so if…[Read more]

For both its easy to make it a none entity rule… As the rule only affects battalions of different regiments (or cavalry regiments*)

The russians can take a brigade of 1 regiment… that may or may not have multiple battalions,  The one brigade where you need multiple battalions from different regiments is the grenadier brigade which…[Read more]

It was Laiton ou aurore jaune  – Golden yellow.   The plate was yellow brass, not gilded. So slightly darker .

Collection Raoul / Brunon had an original Tschako, made by Chapelier in Paris, the guards supplier.

The field unifom 1812-15 was more plain. No red cuffs, no elaborate lacings- Tschako with oil skin.

I’d take it to include the table edge where your models can enter the table from.

So with ‘meeting engagement’ I’d say cant be 12″ away from the enemies table edge OR an already deployed forward deployment unit!

Only the ship with Radar gets the benefit.

Think of it this way, you make a pool of dice for the aircraft, a pool of destroyers & cruisers without radar, a pool for Destroyers & cruisers with radar & a 4th pool for those with advance radar.
Pools 1 &2 can be rolled together as they are a 5+, pool 3 is a 4+ with a re-roll & pool 4 is a 3+ with a…[Read more]

the book ‘soft underbelly’ was released a couple of weeks ago, and is available for purchase through the UK store (other stores dont always show the same info)

the units /army deals are still up for pre order (they may be a Feb release……)

@Stuart….. intresting take.  As the wording doesnt say nearest eligible vehicle, and its not being targeted I’ve always read it as the closest soviet vehicle irrespective of order die gets a dog run under it.  Kinda like how you pick a unit to be shot when your firing unit FUBARs…. the proximity is the only targeting restriction.

Some of warlord do read these forums…. however if you email info@warlordgames.com  then one of the service guys will pass the question on to the rules team*… you should get an offical answer then.

*if they get asked enough they should put it in to the FAQ – they have with the VaS ones that I’m aware of
