Hi all, I’m looking at getting back into Napoleonic period and looking for a suitable rule set. I used to play very big games using 15mm and General de Brigade rules, but now really want to stick to 28mm, using approx 10 inf regiments,3-4 cavalry regiments and a couple of gun batteries per side.

Will Black Powder suit that sort of game l…[Read more]

Thanks Lord Rao.

p.87 only mentions it in the fluff, it doesn’t appear in the selectors. however it does say they weren’t used in New Guinea, so that explains it.

im guessing I could use the generic British selector and chose the Australian National Rule, or check out the original Australian pdf.

Thanks to all anyway,

John

Jaesen – I have the New Guinea book, the 6pdr isn’t in it.

Hi all,

I notice Warlord sell the above model. Which army list does it feature in? I can’t find any reference to it.

Thanks for the input, i was just curious

Master Chief – the hinges are on the right, under the wheel, that’s why I was puzzled.

Hi all, not a gaming question as such, more mechanical –

With the spare wheel mounted on the drivers door, but half way over the hinges and body work, how did the driver open his door? Was there some kind of hinged fitting that allowed the spare to move?

Thanks in advance,

John

Thanks to both.

Gordon, it states in the vehicles description whether it loses transport capabilities if taking a weapon.

Hi all –

Forward Arty Observers – seeing that they call in a bombardment using a fire order, I take it they can’t observe from within a transport?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that if you upgraded a transport with a weapon that causes it to lose its transport capacity, it then counts as an armoured car slot.

Could someone point me to t…[Read more]

Re mass painting – I’m not sure of your colour scheme, but I’ve just saved loads of time doing a large Japanese Army by using a spray base coat of the uniform colour. I use shades on my minis, so after doing the base I only have to paint flesh/weapons/boots etc., then shades, then a bit of highlighting.

Haskeer replied to the topic Perry Miniatures vs Warlord in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 6 months ago

Master Chief – are they your figures in the photo? Just noticed the way the prone Perry’s are mounted to the base. I’m guessing that’s to lift the figures off the base to give room to grit the base without the models being sunk in? Some kind of double sided pads?

Thank you, not compatible enough for me, I’ll stick with Warlord.

Cheers,

Thanks Stuart, will look into that.

Hi all, I’m looking at building an Eighth Army force – are the Perry plastics compatible with Warlords minis?

Thanks,

John

Thank you, half expected that!

Hi all, just browsing through Armies of GB, and have a query. It’s probably answered in MRB, but have lent that out, so any info greatly appreciated. –

Haskeer replied to the topic Metal figures on 25mm lipped plastic bases in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 6 months ago

Before I base any figures I score a cross hatch pattern on the base to give any glue something to bind with. Glue my mini to the base, PVA base up to minis metal base and dip in sand/grit. Once painted, and grass/tufts added they look pretty good.

Haskeer replied to the topic What’s your base of choice in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 6 months ago

I use Warlord’s plastic bases, but have the magnetic discs not them, which gives them a bit of weight and easier handling

Haskeer replied to the topic Laser Pointers in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 6 months ago

Scratch the last bit about blocking the line, I’ve realised how it works. I can see the benefit of having both now.

Thanks,
