The problem is theory and reality. 17th frimaire AN XI an order came from Paris that the band musicians had to wear the same dress the drummers / hornists wore.

April 1807,  August 1810, Sept. 1811. There are enough orders and material lists about reduction of the expensive add ons to fill a book. The colonels did not care and so the tête de c…[Read more]

do you know what regiment(s) you’re wanting to paint?  As you might be able to find out more specifics online

This site has all the 1815 uniforms of the 100 days (http://centjours. mont-saint-jean.com /unitesFR. php)

definantly medium…. unless you think it had a deep enough hull to trigger torpedoes

pg 18 of the line infantry book – governed by the whim of the colonel :p

<snip> drummmer, fifers and cornets usually wore ordinary uniforms <snip> ordinary company distinctions, shako ornaments etc

3/115 had a single Einstoßflammenwerfer 46.  Effective range a little over 20 meter , maximum 40 m. The burst was 0,75 seconds long.  It could be refilled but at Spandau Siemensstadt they did no refill. It was intended in Volkssturm for counter attack in urban area.   The men of the unit had been older workers from Siemens company, mostly WW I ve…[Read more]

Hello Forrest

There is very little in the rules that is automatic. This problem is related as much to the break test as to the dice rolls in the close combat round,  in the first move the infantry often has a 58% of passing  (scoring 7 or more) because they are unlikely to suffer excess casualties in the charge. However the infantry don’t have t…[Read more]

Well pg 7 says that the ‘heads of coloumn’ so the bands, sappers etc followed the same rules as the Line Infantry…

The smock worn by LW Felddivision late war is not that of Fallschirmjäger and had a different cut. Nerds like me would see that …. 😉

Some Fallschirmjäger got sent in 42 to LW Feld Regimenter as base, they kept the FJ smock they had been issued with until it was in tatters.

The units of Wehrmacht:   Heer, Luftwaffe und Kriegsmarine , ha…[Read more]

Napoleon’s light infantry

The warlord starter armies have a 1K list included…. they often have a couple of models left over.

As a rough guide go to wg.easyarmy.  com (space left out) – however there are a couple of list errors & it contains units / Theater lists from ALL the armies of… books and the campagin books.

The pickup games missions…. they are an attempt at pickup /tournamaent games….. but the rounding of points doesnt exactly allow for ballanced tournaments….

If you are up for it I would look at the historical sceanrios and altering them to match your models /time

eg in the new year I’m planning on doing a version of the midway…. but…[Read more]

Imagin the distribution of just 7500 weapons made and you have the answer. 1/3 never reaching front units. The FG 42, first used in 43, was no replacement for the K98 in real  action. 1 in a squad in addition to the LMG, or often as bad replacement, would be historical.

Anything else is like the all Stug 44 units fielded by some gamers.   On…[Read more]

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]
