Thanks Nat, I’ll take a look.
Hmm. So, I went to my copy of BP 1ed. That came out before GH. Again, artillery is not allowed to enter woods or rough ground. except along a road. How then would artillery enter light woods and at what speed?
I checked manhandling artillery thinking that it might give terrain exceptons. No, they still have to follow the same rules.
Thank you Dr. Dave.
And I humbly and happily stand corrected, Garry. Thanks for pointing that out.
So, that means any unit that could lend support, wither it does or not, has to make a break test. Yes.
Sorry, Garry, I have to respectfully call you on the reply above where you say a unit “supports the combat or not” within a 6″ circle.
Units that do not support a unit within 6″ do not make a break test. Only units that support a unit that breaks make the test. The rules are on page 70 for supports and page 78 for support break tests in BP2ed. This is just as Nat pointed out.
The only exceptions to that are if the unit that breaks is artillery or tiny. In that case, the support unit doesn’t have to make a break test (and again, another exception, that’s if the support unit isn’t tiny itself, in which case it would make the test.)
However, Garry, I reserve the right to be wrong, and If you can point out in the rules where I am I’ll happily take correction.
Respectfully,
George
Thank you Mike and Arcole
Thank you, Mike. I found that sentence in the rules after you mentioned it.
Here is another question. What if the winner in combat is also shaken? I read nothing that it has to make a break test. Only the loser.
You are welcome VinUnleaded.
Thank you, Mike.
Hello, I’m a new player too but I’ve learned some things. One thing to keep in mind when building an army is how much playing space do you have. If you have a 6’x4′ table as I do you won’t be able to play large engagements in 28 mm unless you use 3 or 2 base units. Perhaps even 1 base for small and individual for tiny units! Also, you then need to halve your measurements. Keep this in mind when you develop your army.
Thanks Mike,
I like your clarifications.
They look Awesome, Lee.
Thanks Big Al but back to you said. What is the uphill advantage? I’m not reading it in the BP 2nd Ed. rules.
I’m American, too. I’m wondering if we can request, if on is willing to pay for it, for a professional carrier such as DHL, UPS, or FedEx to deliver packages?
