I think the added BARs is way better than the Medic. Good move.

I don’t play the US but often against them as those BARs hurt.

Random thoughts:

Personally, I would avoid the Leader + 1 assistant, as the moment you take 1 loss it triggers the “now make a morale check for taking 50% losses”. I would go 2 assistants.

Is an upgrade to Veteran for your sniper available? I say that as it often comes down to sniper duels.

MMGs are not that great in BA in some ways (you will…[Read more]

The displacement tonnes amounts vary between sources and if it’s patrol loaded, max loaded or testing.

But the / 500 and round works for all ships

Between v1 (mongoose) and v2 (warlord) a couple of different stats were amalgamated or removed…

So hull is literally the displacement that the ship made.

Perhaps you saw it mentioned here on the website? https://store.warlordgames.com/collections/german-waffen-ss

Yeah , what Nat said. Any of these points issues may become moot soon-ish.

For now,   get the Army Builder app as the seem to update it with the latest points costs and options.

On the question of “why vehicle X” is not included: as WW2 had hundreds of different ones, I suppose they had to draw the line somewhere!

Also I think the designers…[Read more]

Well…V3 rulebook is being released in September and a new armies of Germany is being released early next year.  This will include most units from campaign books as well

So hopefully these lack of consistencies are addressed

Not stated…. but the engine deck is in the top back of the hull so I’d place a hull damage token

There’s an updated community points chart, but apart from that nope this thread is pretty much update.

Well the way platoons are going to be constructed is changing (how we dont know yet)

Plus all the V3 armies of… Books will be bringing in most units from the campaign books – some units will be left to specific campaigns only…h

This was confirmed in the announcement articles 

Being “completely unhistorical” is not fair I think, since you are looking at a snapshot of live war, not a pristine parade ground. In other words,  you are getting a zoomed-in view of a tiny area of battle, with units chaotically interacting in the field already haven taken various losses and gained temporary attachments of all kinds.  You c…[Read more]

Welp can tell I don’t look at this forum much…

Short answer is green roll is made when casualties are taken

This is AFTER wound rolls

BEFORE models are removed, which is before moral check (if applicable)

So the are hit at inexperienced, wounded on inexperienced but MIGHT check at regular

Are you near Chelmsford?

But for flags…. well you need to know what regiment you are painting as the facings of the uniform changes depending on the regiment…
however there are a couple of sites that do flags for you…google GMB designs

I need to finish off my french and put their flags on!

As to why they arent included – well because…[Read more]

@hazed100 – anywhere near Chelmsford?

So… are you playing Core Rules or Clash of Eagles Expanded rules?  Or the revised Waterloo epic (which is somewhere in the middle… but I dont have a copy so cant comment further on that)

Now irrespective of that…

If charged in the front when your flanks arent secured by either a unit in square, building or table edge if your unit has…[Read more]

So it seems it is finally happening… September.

supposedly a WL anoucement should happen on Wednesday – as they werent expecting the Osprey link to be put up this early…. so a few questions were asked at salute and got given the answer of wednesday… so fingres crossed.

my guess is that it was going to be June that it was announced, which would work for their (both WL and Ospreys) normal 3…[Read more]

My take – [HOWEVER dont forget that this is why campaign units should only be used in campaign scenarios… apart from that see how your opponent wants it played BEFORE you start playing the game.]

So, recrew the gun – you remove models from the unit and use them to resurrect the casualties from the gun crew…

So you have now lost the officer…[Read more]

The weapons chart at the back of the rule book lists HMG under Heavy Weapons, and not Small Arms.

As far as I understand, a HMG at its long range is a penetration 0 weapon vs the front of armoured targets and would not qualify for pins.

Is it a heavy weapon – yes
Does the base Pen change – NO! (The only thing that I’m aware of in the whole game that changes a base pen value is a german MG rule in one of the DDay selectors)
Does the weapon have additional modifiers that apply to the Damage calculation- yes

It even says – Regardless of if the hit can damage it!

So the HMG is…[Read more]

Given that only one unit can contact the front of a charged unit, giving a brigade an order to charge that defending unit automatically results in one unit charging into contact and the others supporting. Consequently this must be OK under the brigade order rules. So I agree exactly the same  thing is untenable. I guess that option 1 is the best…[Read more]
