  • Seems the rule is not mich used????

     

    I got questions about the gun in background. It’s a 21 cm Mörser 18, the main heavy gun of Wehrmacht. More than 700 made and in front use.

     

    .

    The metal model is from a German maker.  Some 30+ years old and very rare today.  It was long on my wishing list. The maker only delivered it assembled and so th…[Read more]

  • I just painted the guy with the camera, it was long n my boxes but last week I did a gun and needed a miniature for showig the size.

     

    Hs anyone used the War correspondent rules from Campaign Battle of France p. 96?

    Hmm but what if the arc covers 2 sides?

     

    Cheers

  • I think just some general issues with the website – just try again.

    Its difficult lately with reduced staff because of COVID19.

  • I have approved it, the system treated the link as spam.

    Sorry about this.

    you hit the side you are in the arc of even if you cant see that side … see the rule book for concealment of vehicles where it talks about not being able to see the front of a tank but work out the shot V the front

  • Nat replied to the topic Turretless vehicles in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 3 months ago

    Casment weapons… basically they fire like fixed weapons so a 90deg arc

  • Can an AT weapon be fired at infantry? If so , assuming an AT projectile is being fired from that weapon, do you roll to hit just one man and applying the penetration roll to the unfortunate soul?

     

    Thank you

    Help again, sorry to bother you all with my rules questions. Hopefully others will benefit from your responses too.

    How do we know the angle of impact if a tank shoots another.  A current, for example, should perhaps hit the front or the side. Do we choose the best, and if so fo we choose the best angle for the shooter or defender?

    Thanks

  • Hello all….

     

    A self-propelled gun like a STUG. Is it really allowed a firing arc, since it has no pivoting ability at all?  If it is allowed, if it fires as part of an ambush are we supposed to rotate the model so the line reaches from the barrel to the target?

    Thanks

     

  • re the whole dry land or dead thing… 1 thing i’ve learned about house rules is they need to be concise and flow & also on this forum I try and make generic suggestions as I dont know your terrain :p

     

    I mean the river could be all imparsable to infantry or the 2″ closesest to a bank could be difficult terrain etc etc

  • Well, hmmmm.  The problem is Action dress. The slung pelisse cave some protection against sword cuts as did the busby and Tschako.

     

    So many Hussars came to the dance without but put them on directly before action.

     

    But doing the classic  hussar work – scouting?   Riding for hours in heat and dust?

  • More Questions –

    I know its been asked before, but not answered…. so here’s the question again.

    When shooting at ships do Shin’yo rockets suffer -3 to hit or -4? 

    ‘normal’ rockets suffer -1 when shooting at land targets & -2 when shooting as naval targets, so with the wording of shin-yo’s suffering -3 instead of the normal -1 do they suffer…[Read more]

  • PM sent. 😉

    Yes,  the original Light Dragoons had Hussar Dress in Peninsula. Before there was a slow Change from light draggon Dress in 1st and 2nd.    The 3rd Regiment was the first to appear completely in hussar fashion, as its colonel Johann Georg v. Reden procured fur to add to the pelisse, introduced the fur cap and allowed the wearing of…[Read more]

  • Presumably you are talking about Clash of Eagles; these companies are 3pdr guns with a range of just 24 inches which is worth 8 points, the close combat is 1 point, the morale 6 points and the stamina 4 points. The text also says that the shooting stats would be 2/2/1 rather than 3/2/1. This is also for 6 guns – a 2 gun section would be different.

  • Nat replied to the topic Airplane rules query in the forum Cruel Seas 4 years, 4 months ago

    To be honest, I’m going to pick up the supplement Close Quarters which has some cleanup of the rules for aircraft in it.

    Your opponent might already now about it due to the radar rules.  It says at the start of the turn… so I read that as the plane activates before any activation die are pulled from the bag.

    re flak – i read it as per…[Read more]

  • Another couple of options are….ps some shocking idesa here….

    play some of the campaign scenarios/ randimise which mission you do play

    Play lopsided battles – ie you have 1K + a king tiger, they have a normal 1K army.

    Play tank war /armoured platoons

    play larger point games where multiple units are activated under a single order die

    play…[Read more]

  • I thought they were light dragoons and became hussars later. In which case, they wouldn’t have peilises. Becoming hussars was a fashion thing, so possibly had them because they liked to strut and show off.

    Really IO is your man for this.

  • Yeah I read that as a statement of an idea not a ‘heres a scenario we’ve written’ as well…..

     

  • Ok, on page 91 there is what appears to be a rule… however as said in the title this is in the background of the Red Fleet.

    the sentance in question is “all hits under 6-pdr will not cause a critical hit to Bronekater turrets; the roll is simply ignored”.

    Now does this mean if (for example) a 40mm causes a critical a 5 (gun hit) counts as no…[Read more]
