Fuzzy BA logic.
Both had a tow hook and both had no capacity for an extra gun crew, amo and ranging stuff.
Not like 251/4 that was designed and used as tow for guns like IG 18. But had no gun on board.

If the mortar is firing then its the mortar that is receiving the order and so needs to test, and will receive the order die next to them. The spotter just provides LoS to the target (and due to not having an order die next to him can claim DOWN if targeted)
You can think of it as spotter & mortar are 2 separte units that share Line of sight…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Turret turn in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 1 month ago
Turrets have a 360 deg arc of fire unless you have suffered ‘turret jam’ which locks the turret in to a fixed arc.
[quote] Turret-mounted weapons. Weapons mounted on turrets can usually fire all around (i.e. into any arc). Some turret-mounted weapons have restricted arcs because of the design or position of the turret, and these cases are…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic S-Boot Tender Tsingtau in the forum Cruel Seas 4 years, 1 month ago
Built at Blohm & Voß Hamburg Tsingtau’s service began as general Flottentender in 1934, just a few S-boats being ready. But 5.3.1936 it became Schnellbootbegleitschiff for the six boats of 1. S-Flottille.
They operated in Ostsee. But then there was a high priority demand for cadet sea training and 13.2.1940 Tsingtau became training ship. 23 of…[Read more]

I wanted another ship for my Cruel Seas fleets. I decided for the Schnellbootbegleitschiff Tsingtau. 100 % scratch, 100 % building fun.
Tsingtau was the first specially built Tender for the German S-Boote, designed and ordered before the Nazis took over and built 1933-34.
It was the smallest of the S-Boot Tenders with 2490 ts and 87,46 meter…[Read more]

SteveT started the topic Turret turn in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 1 month ago
I’ve been playing that turreted vehicles do not get a -1 to hit for just rotating turrets and shooting(i.e. they’ve been given a Fire, not an Advance). Is this right?
I’ve seen videos where -1 was applied.
Not very related but I’ve seen videos where people apply 2 pins to a unit hit by an MG. But I cannot find a reference to it. Assuming a house…[Read more]

Guessing they use a device where the wheel holder is on a hinge, as with modern external wheel carriers.
Only other thing I can think of is that it might server as extra protection for the driver, who can always get out the passenger side?

Big Al replied to the topic Artillery Question in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 1 month ago
Yes, The 3pdr would be a light smoothbore. The 6pdr could be either smooth or rifled but I would class it as horse artillery. I only say that because of the wording in the table for ranges on page 56 of BP2.

Big Al replied to the topic Battle of Elixheim Scenario Question in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 1 month ago
Right, so take a look at the title, The Armies on page 117. There, in the first paragraph, it states that the majority of the infantry was Bavarian.
The rest of that section gives you some idea of the number of figures used, which is not too important because you have your own unit sizes and Black Powder doesn’t count figures, but it still t…[Read more]

Big Al replied to the topic Rules Question Thread in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 1 month ago
When you say attached, do you mean part of the unit or do you mean it is in the same brigade?
There are rules for brigade squares on page 91 of BP2. These include artillery and more than one battalion of infantry. I would adapt those and place the gun on a corner of the square. That will add some extra firepower to one side of the square.…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Artillery Question in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 1 month ago
The 3 pdrs are probably better as battalion guns with the 6 pounders being light field guns (BP2 calls them horse artillery). Having said that I play 15mm and increase all artillery ranges by 25%.

If a product is still visible on the web store there is the possibility of it being made again or it could be under review. Once removed its gone.
The civilians are planned to be re-released, although as with alot of plans things have been delayed because of C19.
