Converting can be like a drug. Its fun and I love to have MY own miniatures. I converted a full HLI unit years ago.

Easier than converting the London born son of a w.   into a Yorkshire one in a series of novels just beacause the actor ………….

Well, that character is so full of fuss that that change in later written books makes no d…[Read more]

For a typical German Farm of WW II time you should not add a silo.  Silage was common in UK and Scandinavia but most German Farmers still used hay only. A  farm in Western Germany sounds like Northwest to me.  Mostly smaller ones with some animal raising too. A fruit garden would be typical too, apple trees and some cherry ones.

The Farmer of…[Read more]

There are problems in real world  that cause delays for most gaming companies. . Corona and Brexit for example. But also longtime problems with mould makers. Much demand, few makers in UK.

Not everything is done “In house” by warlord. Even something simple like packing material can cause a long delay now.

If just one item comes from abroad…[Read more]

I GUESS because the real world German 15 cm had more “Bumms” than the 6 “.  The mv was bigger in most German 15 cm than in contemporary 6”. Esp. the SKC / 25 was superior. On the other side the projectile weight was higher in MK XXIII 6″, but similar in XXII.

For a game designer its ever difficult to design a working formula and keep close to…[Read more]

Nat is right following the rules.

But there is no reason to get the game close to real world among gentle   men.  For example the 88 was sometimes moved for short distances without motor. So in 1940 against French bunkers. With a few rounds on the Sonderanhänger. Slow, hard work. Under fire…….

On other side manhandling a medium gun, hmm…[Read more]

hmmm…..

It looks / sounds like its all hands to the pump to hit the promise of getting the BP Epic ACW out at the end of the month…..

1) light guns using DP are light guns that are able to shoot flights, they by pass Tough & Very Tough but are used during the ships activation -this has been confirmed by the Author on Social Media,  if you check out the ‘news from the wardroom!’ thread I’ve put up a flights 101 guide which has all the references of how they work.  There is also a…[Read more]

1) – yes pg 95
2) as heavy AT gun, no it can only pivot (pg 95)
3) heavy artilery needs a TOW, light /medium can be man handeled
4)see 3

Well, creative models are ever good.  Making them more “Yours”

But with the MG I’m with Kar 98K. Or better said, against a K98. 😉  The better option would be a pistol, the German MG gunner’s secondary weapon.

For cases I use to cut pieces of brass wire. Easy to cut and allready the perfect color.

I cannot see the images, I checked the links and they are invalid.
The links you have posted are most likely only valid while logged into your google account.

Thanks Nat for all your work on the news updates.

Links should now be fixed, let me know if any more issues.

Hi Peter, welcome.. if you pop your head in to the Victory as Sea forum ‘news from the wardroom’ thread I’ve uploaded some comunity done info sheets that should help with the rules.

Ive added an update to the forum software that should prevent it from being so strict in future, external links to images should now in theory work without needing approval. Hopefully that works!

Images can also be uploaded as attachments to the forum as always, with a maximum file size of 9mb.

Ok… dont know why this wasnt put up here either!  Offical unboxing video

By this point in the war the Free French where entirely equipped by the US

however 1st Army (France) – Wikipedia as a whole…but if you focus on 2nd Armored Division (France) – Wikipedia

Also if you look at Campaign : Battle of the Bulge it has a Free French Europe platoon.

One of the Wardroom members posted this up, so I thought I’d share it here as well.

This one way of doing approximately balance points lists from the two player set. No refits are taken on any ship.

Steeljacket, it’s normal to have ground and weapon scales that are different from minatures scale. BA is strange anyway in having a 1 miniature =  1 soldier and in normal sized units ratio   but guns are normally used as  singles, not batteries.

The buildings are done by most as symbols for rural area, not true single ones.

The ground scale, gi…[Read more]
