The word you are looking for is consistency – something the organic nature of the game is missing.
the issue is simple, it’s not written as a pickup war game….easy campaign book is written separately and looked at separately. So if the author thinks that a unit or equipment should be portrayed differently they redo it (see trenches, dr…[Read more]

Totally agree, even then it might be a bit much given that they also get two extra combat dice. The average +2 to combat resolution is equivalent to 5 extra combat dice, so all together it is like being attacked by two normal units.

Its UPS, just be lucky they still have the parcel at all. Bumbling fools.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Units within 6 inches of a breaking unit in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 1 month ago
Yes the example given following my quotation spells it out. Yesterday, I refought Venta del Pozo and the French lost a third of their force when a squadron of Gendarmes broke, quickly followed by both supports! Three scores of 4 or less in a row!
Best regards

I like these forums because we always have the opportunity to learn about the games we love. However on page 78 at the bottom of the first paragraph it reads ‘For purposes of this test, supporting units are considered to be such if they are theoretically able to support regardless of whether they actually contribute a support bonus or…[Read more]

Yes it is added to the combat resolution. Hvy Cav +1 is approximately the equivalent of adding 3 close combat dice, so a big effect.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Units within 6 inches of a breaking unit in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 1 month ago
and the units test whether they actually supported the combat or not, they just have to be within the 6inches.

Nat replied to the topic Units within 6 inches of a breaking unit in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 1 month ago
Supporting units – pg 70, units within 6″ may support a unit in combat
pg 77 break tests – Supporting units test if the unit that they where supporting fails its break test.

SteveT replied to the topic What is the purpose of the new "A Clash of Heroes Starter Set" ? in the forum SPQR 3 years, 1 month ago
Yes, it is a little silly. It buys into the legend of the Roman’s invincible military strength, propaganda put forth mostly by ancient Roman sources (!). They were good, but not that good. If they were as amazing as they advertised, it wouldn’t have taken them YEARS to conquer the Gallic and other provinces from a bunch of “barbarians”, and…[Read more]

well on one hand you have Romans in heavy armour with large shields and good all round stats…. on the other you have unarmoured tribesmen…..

Nat replied to the topic Critical hits and torpedo's in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 1 month ago
So if you roll equal or lower than the current crit level then nothing happens. So if you roll a 3 and the ship already has a 4, then its zero effect (except for the base damage).
Yes IJNs fan torpedo rule is VERY strong … its a single dice in place 6-12 AD, but its a straight 6 to hit no re-rolls or modifiers!
And yes flights hit on their…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Critical hits and torpedo's in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 1 month ago
Torpedoes all have Devastating rule –
That means you dont try and beat the armour like normal damage – its always D6 – Torpedo belt number (if applicable). Then IF you roll a 5 or 6 you get to roll again… if the second roll is a 4 or more then yes you’ve scored a critical.
As confirmed by the FAQ, whe you roll for what level of critical you…[Read more]

Personally I’m using an old Dystopian Wars 45deg movement tool – doesnt matter what you use so long as it limits the turn of the ship to 45.

Its a trade off, you lose a small amount of recovery ability (remember you can only recover 2 flights a turn IF you use a scramble order & dont launch any flights) but gain the defensive ability of not being targetable except by enemy flights.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Proximity rule in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 1 month ago
The proximity rule is straightforward, the French grenadiers need to move into either their forward or rearward quarter (see p.24), the number and position of the Austrians doesn’t matter other than them being within 12 inches. The key point in this example, is that the grenadiers would have to charge the Jagers, (you cannot contact them without…[Read more]
