well over on the BRS Facebook group… one of the guys with an insight has said it should be out this year (was slated for last year ..but covid happened)
so here’s a copy of what they put

The morion helmet was typical all over Western Europe, from Malta to Scotland. And the pants had been international fashion too. Like later French styles the Spanish one was “de rigeur”.

Regular troops needed a sash or similar field sign to distinguish them.

The modern arms and armor in the English and Spanish stores looked the same. Only…[Read more]

yeah forgot about that (V2 rulebook pg 68 for the -1 to hit, and pg 70 for the support for others wondering)

Its a defensive unit…most missions have a 12″ deployment zone, so I’d read that as must be within the deployment zone

A skirmish unit has one frontage – front, until it is engaged and forms up…

which upsets my cossacks… who can only charge enemies in the flank or rear!

Well I’d take the rules that a 2 battalion brigade needs both destroyed to brake the brigade and take it up the army level.. so a 2 brigade army would need both broken to break the army.

So what you’d lose it flexiblity of having larger brigades you’d gain in overal staying power of the army…. It also means that this issue only turns up if you…[Read more]

The rules talk about half the brigades in the army as a whole, so I would interpret the situation you describe, as the army is defeated when any two of the three brigades are broken. Obviously some scenarios involving less reliable coalition partners might interpret it differently.

Thanks IO so you are happy with the RAW.

Many regular skirmishers had been trained to form hedgehogs of 4 or more men if attacked by horse. They had been flexible enough to do them fast. A compact line was not so mobile. The 2 – 3 men at the flank being in general able to turn 90° fast too. But under attack from  side and back ……A deadly attack was the back slash from the rider t…[Read more]

You can use the Wars of Religion Infantry Regiment  for English infantry.   The Italian war horse is good for the cavalry.

It means that you will move each brigade in order at their entry point. They might all arrive in the first turn. Of course, there could be order failures which could alter the arrival times of a brigade or two, but you’d have to be pretty unlucky for that to happen. Especially as they are moving on roads and in Column of March, giving a +2 to t…[Read more]

However the rule do state that they are not on the table… so if they are not on the table how do you measure the distance from them to the hidden unit?  As to firing additional weapons on the transport, thats the transports weapons just using the skill and PINs of the transported unit so you know to measure (from the vehicle).

BUT as you say…[Read more]

My take on the situation is: Tiger Fear has an exception in the FAQ that means it effects units embarked on a transport.  Hidden Units are not stated to be affected by units on a transport, and transported units are mentioned not to be able to interact with units not on the transport (see officers Snap-to).  So unless those infantrymen disembark t…[Read more]

Artillery go on what ever base you like!

All Measurements are to/from the breach of the gun (pg 96 – I think).  All crew have to be within 2″ of the breach to maintain coherency, and are assumed to be individually based on standard round bases (for when working out HE… the only time it matters.).

Go the the Perry Miniatures website and look there. The Warlord site is mainly interested in their own products and you will often find that other manufacturers kits are listed but not in stock. Warlord Napoleonic figures tend to be in a marching pose. That’s because they are easier to rank up than multiple poses. They are also easier to c…[Read more]

Unfortunately not. The armor around 1525 was very different from the Rose war one, esp. the helmets.

But there is a warlord series that fits, the wars of religion gensdarmes. And the mtd. Arquebusuiers too.

Legere, that is correct. The rulebook has a couple of diagrams showing the situation and states that maximising frontage means that you cannot avoid contacting two units when one is a single model artillery piece alongside an infantry unit. However, increasing the artillery frontage and means that the you are unlikely to contact both the artillery…[Read more]
