Big Al replied to the topic General Personal Qualities in the forum Black Powder 4 years ago
Yes, it does refer to something in BP1. However, you could use the alternative rules in BP2 for Commander traits. They give an added flavour to the game, though they are not quite the same as those in version 1.
The traits were a number of options that could be given to a commander. I can’t remember them exactly, but they were basically, A…[Read more]

SteveT started the topic Shaken timing in the forum Black Powder 4 years ago
Hopefully someone can help me with this…
Cavalry unit charges an infantry unit.
1. Roll hard combat: cavalry scored 7 hits on the stamina 4 infantry.
2. Are they shaken at this point?
3 They pass their break test well. They are left with 3 casualty markers. What happens to the unit? Destroyed or now shaken?
Thanks

Just looking the the Austrians in Clash of Eagles. Page 67 has a small chart to determine Personal Quality Value of commanders. It also references that this is used in conjunction with 94 of the main rule book.
Problem: this appears it might be a references to BP v.1.
(1) So what, are Personal Quality Values?
And
(2) How do we know what r…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic New to Painting Black Powder Miniatures in the forum General Discussion 4 years ago
I did that set long ago, before Warlord took it over. In Imperial Kürisser style. The number of options is impressive. But the horses a bit stiff in poses. I tried to give them a bit more Action.
I use to assemble all miniatures before painting. I do single miniature basing so handling is easy. I use plastic glue, the melting of surface giv…[Read more]

Nat started the topic Battle for the Pacific – Questions in the forum Victory At Sea 4 years ago
So reading through the Battle for the Pacific Rules manual that I got with the August copy of Wargames Illustrated and theres a few questions I’ve got – I hope these are due to the rules manual being a cut down version of the full book!
1) AA against aircraft – pg 16, says that the roll is never modified, yet pg 15 aircraft trait large has a…[Read more]

I got two of the nice Warlord KFK. The model represents the submarine hunter version of KFK 1 – 157. They had Depth Charges and 1x 3,7 cm and 1. 2 cm AA. Minesweepers had just 2 x 2 cm AA.
They had a “Spitzgatt” aft, from KFK 18 on the “Spiegelheck” was flat. That allowed an easier building.
Soon the Allied superiority in the air made…[Read more]

SteveT replied to the topic Main gun vs co-axial mg in the forum Bolt Action 4 years ago
Yes of course in most cases it is better to use the main gun. Makes sense–it is the main gun! But if you really NEED suppression in some particular situations, then the MG will give you want you want.
Remember also if your tank has any pins, then needing a 6s or 7s will rapidly become a reality. So again the MMG might be worth it.
There are…[Read more]

SteveT replied to the topic Main gun vs co-axial mg in the forum Bolt Action 4 years ago
As most main guns roll only one die, difficult shots that need, say, a 6 or 7, are most likely to achieve nothing. However, when are rolling 5 MG dice, you clearly have much higher chance of achieving something vs those hard-to-hit targets. And that pin may be all you need to shut the enemy down or even force a rout/morale c…[Read more]

The SS Panzer Pioniere are in Campaign Fortress Budapest. Page 109
Like the Heer pioniere they can get mine clearing gear and other Pionier stuff and fanatics is in Special rules. In real word the OOB was totally like Heer. That they use the word Sturmpionier there is ….

SteveT replied to the topic SS Pioneers in the forum Bolt Action 4 years ago
But all other SS units have the option of Fanatics, so I would think they would to? Warlord even do figures for them, but their list is nowhere :p

The SS Divisional Pionier units had the same OOB the Heer units had. And no special toys. 😉
The “Sturmpionier” is mostly a gamer myth, the units that had that name assigned in WW II for some time are ordinary Pioniere selected for some siege operation like Sewastopol. They got a higher number of assault explosive devices and some special t…[Read more]

Pretty sure that’s not them as their entry says “Often overlooked in favour of the dashing panzers or elite Waffen-SS troops”.
The SS Pioneers are mentioned in the Battle of the Bulge book.
