Bump so people can find it!

Ok… Local X has two parts.

Part 1 – If an enemy flight crosses its base during the movement phase you get X = AD against that one flight (remember flights move one at a time)
Part 2 – In the AA step of the gunnery phase you get to add X AD to the AA pool, but must target enemy flights in base contact with your ship.  Note some times these die…[Read more]

Well…. one issue is which motorbike unit… (there are a couple of motorbike and sidecar units that go in the armoured car slot and have a higher DV)

I would personally NOT classify them as infantry whilest mounted (including bicyle and cavalry units) because they have taken the transport upgrade option…. however I dont think theres any rules…[Read more]

note on ‘legal’..

Its down to the TO wether or not to allow units & equipment from campaign books, and even which ones – so if its not in the core rule book or ‘armies of…..’ then its always best to clarify with the TO

There are occassions where you can hit at extreme range with a torpedo….

when you are in the ‘large shilloute’ of the target & the target is stationary or you are using a T4 torpedo (KM – only available on Uboats after 1944)

You’ll also notice that trying to hit a fast moving destroyer is pretty much always impossible with torpedos (-1 for…[Read more]

Buildings – they give the extra protection rule which makes them safer as it effectviely negates +1 PEN – NOTE this rule states modified as useual so tells you the PEN modifiers are used.

Medics – key point there’s a German DDay Theater List that gives MMGs +1 PEN against infantry… they’d still save those hits (well possibly :p)

Ok, one question is… Do you mean the Spotter, as in the artillery /mortar unit upgrade?  Or are you meaning the Forward Artillery Observer, the HQ unit?  – I mention this because I see a lot of people confusing the two game terms with real world terminology and therefore using spotter when talking about the FAO!

However…..
If you mean the a…[Read more]

basically the timing is:
you pull the order die and decide the gun is going to fire
you pick what and how you are going to fire ie HE or AP, indirect or direct
opponent decides to go down or not
you measure range
you roll the dice.* (including to see if hit by the FAOs artillery strike)

donlt play epic so cant help on those questions – but on the model road map…

NOPE, its a cross your fingueres and hope,  theres one or two models that where seen last year (either during the open day or during last years 12 days of christmas) that still havent been released /put up for pre-order & then you get things like EPIC BP which wasnt…[Read more]

The battle of britian starter box went out  of production a couple of years ago unfortunatly and was (Eventually) replaced with the Battle of Miday box, there was a direct ‘battle of britian bundel’ which is something different.

But yeah this is one of those games that doesnt actually NEED a starter box to get started in with….all you need is…[Read more]

What can I say….I like the game, but feel its let down in part by the rulebook.  I mean some parts of the rulebook could do with being tidied up as the references they need to make sense are missing.  Or the rules have been changed and theres still references to those rules in the book (most noticably in the stats section with refits about DC r…[Read more]

Fighters can attack MTBs which is why they have an entry in the hit chart…. any thing bigger is too heavily armoured for their calibre ammo to do seriouse harm to.

Only during the gunnery phase.

Reason- moving in to base contact is just moving in to range and not maneouvering over the ship there for the local X trait trigger doesnt activate.

Note its only Local X that triggers during the movement phase not the AA battery itself.  ie a ship with AA battery 3 + local 2 will use 2 AD against every flight…[Read more]

from memory both hatches are seperate   I’ve put an open one and use a bad squiddo female tank commander on my 152

thanks Craig

Hi Pat,

this sort of question will get noticed and more answers in the Historical /Bolt Action sub forum…

However, Paras are a valid sub faction army.. in fact they make a great core of a force then you can just swap out what supports you give them (ie jeeps, tanks, transports etc) to change up how they play
