It has been done, in great detail too, by a group called VC on The Trail : https://vconthetrail.wordpress.com/download/

100 to  200 m are common in German Navy.  The setting could be changed in most “Zündpistolen” / Fuzes. .     Arming was done in most by the turning of the propeller at the tip. Others, like P 4  or DWK Fuze had a small water wheel in hull.   That had a problem, early ones had not been secured against tube rubbing problems so the turning could st…[Read more]

Yes they do.

Thats a good idea. I will pass it on.

Forum indexes have been re-calculated, hopefully that should fix things.

No – still supported. 🙂

[quote]Infantry models are always allowed to see and shoot through enemy infantry and artillery models as if they were not there. Note however that if you shoot through an enemy unit, this will provide cover to their comrades behind, as explained later in the section about cover[/quote]

Basically its worked out from the firing model… if the LoF…[Read more]

One of many rules from original infantry game that now…….   Sure, if you fire at an infantry unit another between you and target  might inflict a problem.

But AT rounds against a tank?     Hardly a problem to see and aim on it. And a human body against an AT round……

Even a lorry will not stop it. (OK , the motor block)  In WW I a Germ…[Read more]

So the AT gun has a clear line of sight at a tank and declears a shot, suddenly theres a unit in front of it….. but that doesnt matter?

(as it happens I do tend to play it that the mods are worked out when you roll to hit, & I make sure my opponent is aware that I can jump the riders off to infront of the tank and so hinder the clear shot)

You’ve hit the biggest issue with WLPS & Carriers in my opionion after a number of discussions – the free flights (which is why all the community points systesm have a carrier discount)

Deep Deployment – after the FAQ has added about a page of extra rules, they’ve adminted that it doest work so ‘recommend you dont use it in tournaments’…. I…[Read more]

yes….

which is why the wording of tank riders & its lack of timings/clarity is a problem….. because they dismount when the shot is decleared and found to be in range, so even though they are down if they go infront of the tank the shot now passes over them…so do you work out the cover when declearing the shot or when rolling the dice (so…[Read more]

I’d cry…. my list would need a fair bit of luck with the FAN torpedo rolls… BUT as my list is a 1943 list the teeth are pulled from that USN list (corsairs arent carrier capable, DP is half dice & Alaska isnt a valid selection) so I’d give it a go…..

You either choice an army from the ‘armies of’ book and gain the 3 special rules, of which 1 is the free FO, OR you choice the specific commonwealth list

eg Indian army from duel in the sun removes the 3 British army rules and ONLY has the two in the duel in the sun (pg 23)

A) You have been playing it correctly. As winner of the combat, you can follow up or stand and support the next unit in the next combat. This is straight from the author in one of the now defunct forums, but if he was on here, he would confirm. Secondly to that, if the losing unit were to break as a result, then the winners could make a Sweeping…[Read more]

Easy Army – whilest great, and recommended by warlord isnt(!) an official rules source & in fact is a single guy.   There are a couple of rules issues, some are due to his interpretation (0-3 AT rifles in the soviet urban assualt platoon – EA has it as 3 not 9!) & others due to how the site is programmed (like the german MMG experten rule).  So it…[Read more]

RE: Kumano’s refit – Oh well thats what happens when you use BS and dont double check..meh :p …saves 30 points… thats 2 more bettys :p

Type 93 torpedoes with their extra range are a lot easier to use as 17″ is short range (+0)… but yeah at long range they become hard to use, and at extreme range almost impossible.

The basic stragergy for…[Read more]

yeah… the refits could do with i) being clearer
ii) being proof read… I mean seriously the whole book should have been…I have a ‘small’ spreadsheet of over 200 issues with the stats blocks (missing info, blatenly wrong numbers, doubled up refits etc etc), & I gave up!
iii) dont even get me or enoich started on the points…..

Also the attacking unit must be over 6″ away or not have a rule that prevents reactionary fire, & must be in arc (if the weapon /team has the fixed rule)…

Up and at ’em It you dont have AT grenades.. its a mute point because you arent going to destroy the tank… if you do have AT grenades its a mute point as you dont take the tank fear test anyway…

Blood Curdling Charge; as said in the FAQ, its treated like being within 6″ of the target… so units in ambush still get to fire.
