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]

Currently no… just acting as a reseller for Perry Minitures

ps – nothing to do with Warlord so have no idea if they have any ideas about changing this going forward

There is alot more to look forward to in regards to SPQR… !

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]

Ok it was the August copy, which has already shipped and is available to buy.

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.

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 ….

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

There are no specific answers in the main rule book ..and I don’t have the close quarters supplement however …

guessing, but using historical usage as a start…

1) stationary or slow

2)only the launching model, not able to target emu thing at close range on the arc where you are launching

3) all

4) nope

5) nope

6) small or l…[Read more]

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.

Cheers

There is an optional rule for units of troop transports
