It’s a nice fun option.

And a good option to take pics of miniatures. 😉

Compared to R 53 boats very small

Thank you.

Being in the right mood I did two more, the small R1 – 16 pre war type. Used in Mediterranean, going via Rhone river south.   I did them in 39-41 style, just a single 2 cm AA. Later they got two twin ones.

I liked the rule suggestions. But as was stated it was a heavy affair and you had to dig a lot. The German army handbook for it gave a lot of rules how to choose the position. Ever in front of a ridge and the earth taken away so that there is no trace to be seen.

The 60° angle limited its use. So normally more than one was in an area, the MG…[Read more]

I waited for others to answer.

You find the  Rules in Campaign Battle of France page 96 for a unit of a Kriegsberichtserstatter and a cameraman.

Lets you to ignore the re-roll hits from the evade order.

Not a warlord employee but I do help run the facebook group Victory at Sea Wardroom (unofficial) and try and help with questions… so here we go:

The option to put a carrier in deep deployment doesnt alter the number of flights you can deploy – source Matthew Sprange (author of the game), via the VaS wardroom

The ability to rearm on a off board…[Read more]

Hi Andrew,  the Q turret thing on the Nelson & Mogami has already been brought to warlords attention, as has the bombers (like all bar the Betty for the japanese) having lost their 4 DD per attack run limit).

I submitted a list of questions & querries last week however if you write any that you find and email them to info@ warlord games.com we…[Read more]

The game is model scale agnostic (ie it doesnt care about the size of your ships) so yeah switching to metric should work.

As to a smallest Imperial size table… well I think a 4 foot square with the starter size fleets should work – if you feel its not quick working say your playing in morning mist and bring the horizon in to 25″ instead of…[Read more]

No, you cant shoot through friendly skirmishers…your likely kill a couple!

They are nice looking boats there!

I’m hoping that when May comes round the UK does open up for gaming again, then hopefully I can get some games in!…. And then we should be able to generate some traffic here in the water ways!

These boats saw much service, mine clearing and laying, escort and anti submarine work and patrolling. Many got lost but a surprising number of these wooden hull boats survived. From my R 53 – 72 version seven got used post 45 for mine clearing and other jobs.Some strange, so  R 55 became a restaurant at Oldenburg for some time.

The two main lo…[Read more]

And announced today in the warlord news letter…

Its a heavy weapon.. all heavy weapons except flame throwers, shaped charges (panzerfausts etc) and HE are kennetic so lose energy.  However that rule is only applicable against armour, that is vehicles with a DV7 or more.

Against softskins & infantry you only have the modifier of the weapon.

So a HMG is always D6+1 against your panzer…[Read more]

No, it adds PINs so that the ‘on fire’ check which failure = destroyed is harder.

Yes they caught fire easier from a spark, but had the same chance (roughtly speaking) of that spark happening.

So basically you have a 1 in 2 chance of being blown up, & a 1 in 2 chance of having being bonced round… whilst being bounced round you have a chance of…[Read more]

Ok… it was discussed here on the forums

long story short… it looks like the chaplians quality dictates the roll required

The intelligence officer is just an upgrade for a normal front officer.  So he is part of the unit anyway and his ability is the unit ones.

The chaplain is no ordinary company or battalion officer, he is from division. So he can have a different ability. The different cost spent give the ability he has, not the unit ones.

Good news is the Chaplains rules are the same in the DDay, BotB & New Guinea books….

Bad news is, its exactly the same wording… and they dont like doing FAQ /Errata for the Campaign books 🙁

Now I seem to remember it being discussed before either here or on one of the facebook groups…

Nice Mimikri camo.

Iconic vehicle.   I was inside the Munster copy. Nothing for 1,83 m men……….
