To clean its mould lines, the most important thing to have is a very sharp blade; the second is to avoid “scraping” the line but to prefer going for clean and straight cuts.
You can use files on surfaces that are more open and accessible, but filing or scraping the surface may create residues that do not fall off like they do with metal and…[Read more]

Thats a great idea, i’ll pass your ideas on.

Hi CtG, I see your reasoning but I was sticking to RAW. With your example I think it is even more important that the RAW approach is taken, BP’s strength is the randomness it brings to command and movement. No units are exempt from friction. Good discussion though.

I am sorry CtG, free moves are only available to units that failed their command roll. First para of p.34. Hence some units with free moves won’t get them if they are not ordered for whatever reason.

Incase people have missed it… the midway box (and others) are going up for pre order tomorrow (21st August)

Very nice.

Bolt action is much better to the Eastern WW I front than the Western.

Yup! As Garry has said. The rule book actually describes it as the victorious unit is so euphoric about winning that it ignores its casualties and so doesn’t have to test. As it has received excess casualties, the unit is now shaken, asHarry has mentioned. This means that it cannot initiate combat, but will still fight if attacked. It suffers -1 t…[Read more]

No it doesn’t test. The excess casualties are just removed. I know it seems odd but that is what happens. The winners of the melee are still shaken and so are vulnerable to any counterattack.

In situations like this (improvable object meets unstoppable force) I normally follow the rule of  must over rides cant.

So the cant run stipulation doesnt stop a unit from receiving a run order but rather moving at double speed.  As an large gun being man handled cant move at double speed anyway I’d say it can still move.  However that in…[Read more]

Its a long time since I built my resin one.

Towing hook, towing rings, rear turret door, gun barrel.

It’s no big problem. In worst case just use a 25 mm base as template.

If you prefer a 20mm for look or other reasons feel free.  Rule systems come and go but armies stay. 😉

@enoich – Only thing I’d say is when talking about dogfight rules use flights not planes so as not to add any confusion about the aircraft X trait supplying observer planes.  Otherwise yeah I agree with it all!

I can live with the scale difference, compared to the Warlord 1935 M-Boot it’s OK, just because that is too small too.   But compared to the S-Boot its flimsy.

So I will use it but its far from ideal.

The kit offers three versions, differing only from the decals.  I choose U 552. I like the rd devils at tower of the “Teufelsboot”.

Built at Blohm & Voss Hamburg U 552 went into service 4^th December 1940.  15 missions with 7. Flottille. with 30 merchants and destroyers HMS Allouette and USS Reuben James sunk.  Reuben James was sunk i…[Read more]
