Nat replied to the topic Mortar Team Zeroing in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 6 months ago
Wouldnt you have to test for the mortar shell exploding on an empty floor? If so then its just the foot print of the building they need to move 2″ away from
IIRC indirect might explode on the roof or any floor

I have both of these too, and I didn’t think it was too noticeable, except for:
(1) the SS that were raised up on 1 leg – that really added to their height.
(2) The SS jackets are bulkier, even compared to some other German infantry types. You can see, for example, if you try to mix and match some of the SS arms with regular German bodies – t…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Some Rule Question in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 7 months ago
A common house rule (which I may put into a Wardroom FAQ) is that base to base is always point blank range irrespective of the actual distance.

1, yes models out of line of sight can be hit
2, correct… all modifiers apply when direct firing IF you hit then you place the template.
3a, if you target the unit so you would need 6s as they are in hard cover.
3b, building collapses… correct “HE value of 2D6 or greater hits” is needed before you check to see if the build could…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Base sizes for Epic ACW? in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 7 months ago
Figures per base are only important in terms of if they look right. The key thing is that the frontage of the units are the same at each unit size.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Base sizes for Epic ACW? in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 7 months ago
BP 2 and GH were both written before Epic existed. BP2 does give the principles for base sizes, the frontages are what matters and so the standard units for cavalry and skirmishers will be the same as for the close order infantry. See p.16 of BP2, 200-250mm standard and 120-150mm small, you can change these up or down depending on how many epic…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Torpedo Rules in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 7 months ago
The biggest impact of the tarento raid wasnt the material damage but rather the psychological effects. At Pearl Harbour the psychological effects had the opposite effect and instead of making the US fearful of the Japanese it made them angry / venganceful

invisible officer replied to the topic Torpedo Rules in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 7 months ago
The attack on Tarento was far away from completely successfull. Six Battleships in harbor, only three hit. Two back in service in 4 and 6 months. Two = a third of the Italian battleships ready for action, are not affected.
They tried bombing the oil depot too and failed totally.

Nat replied to the topic Detecting Submarines not yet on the board in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 7 months ago
Hi Jaesen,
If you look in the thread ‘news from the wardroom’ I’ve put a cheat sheet that covers most things about the game.
But to answer your question Subs that are undetected & running deep can go ‘hidden’ (my term) and be removed off the board. When a sub is deployed /gone hidden the subs owner notes which 12″ square its in – it cant leave…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Map size in Glory Hallelujah in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 7 months ago
The dishonesty is not related to GH but to the assertion by modern rules writers that scales are not important, when they are actually intrinsic to game design. As I said I wasn’t criticising you in particular, GH is probably my favourite supplement, it got me playing ACW. I think that Jim has shown that what we take for granted in historical g…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Map size in Glory Hallelujah in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 7 months ago
Since I started Napoleonic wargaming in the 1970’s I have always enjoyed the process of scenario creation and it has therefore been straightforward to adapt BP to historical scenarios. However I must say I find the ‘modern’ fad for rejecting scales as being too ’70’s’ a dishonest approach to rule writing. BP is no different to other ‘modern’ sets…[Read more]

Big Al replied to the topic Questions of rules in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 7 months ago
Sorry, that is what I meant by the first sentence of my reply. Yes, the commander’s turn is over as soon as he has failed a command roll.
Again, this can be dependent upon which version of the Rules for Commanders you are using. The ones presented in the BP2 rulebook allow a General’s reroll if the failing Commander is within a prescribed dist…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Map size in Glory Hallelujah in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 7 months ago
The issue is that most of warlord games are what I call ‘frame work’ systems not ‘RAW’ systems.
What I mean by that is they are a frame work for clubs and groups to build upon/tweek to fit existing models or terrain or experience from other systems compared to say GW or Privateer Press’ RAW systems which tell you everything from unit base size to…[Read more]

The first came to the front 1942, T 22. The type was built until end of war, the last getting ready was T 36. In Biscaya and Channel they became the main type, often encountered by the British MTB and other small attack craft. Often successfully fighting Destroyers and Cruisers, the cruiser HMS Charybdis being sunk by torpedoes.
