A) target is to get 5 or more… so a 4 will give you the scouting point.  So if you get 1-3 re-roll the dice… if you get 1-3 again hard luck no SP for that ship.

B &C)A ship is scouting, so not available for the start of the battle, irrespective of if it gives you a scouting point or not.  The only way to return it to your fleet is with e…[Read more]

So just a general update here.  The studio team are defiantly looking at the questions I’ve submitted so i’m guessing /hoping we’ll have an FAQ /Errata in a couple of weeks.

@Mike,  how do you get in contact with the vehicle except by assault?  in game terms Assault is a type of Run Command that allows a model to by-pass the 1″ gap rule.  So (Rules here) you cant get in contact with the vehicle unless you declear an assault.

So you now follow the assault rules, which include passangers bailing out in the way of th…[Read more]

@MasterCheif – two key words there IF & Manages.  The transport disembark in to combat means that you didnt get in to contact with the vehicle.

I disagree that the suicide AT rule should over ride the combat disembark rule, as that would mean the unit stays on board when every instict would be to jump out

If their rule says it stops forward deployment then it’s stops all deployment using those rules.

About the outflank I’ll have to look at the rules again to say either way

Hi Tobias

A long list of stat, point* and rules related problems has been submitted to Warlord (including most of what you’ve listed here) and we are waiting on the studio to release an FAQ /Errata.

However some of what appears to be stat typos is due to the stats having real world influences, such as ammunition (AP & DD) and fire control…[Read more]

suicide bombers can fight in close combat*, they just cant declare a charge against the unit.

However in this case its the embarked unit thats effectively counter-charging the bomber.

*they dont have the ‘unarmed’ rule… now they IIRC they can chose to use the AT mine as their weapon – aka remove both models :p or ‘boot knife’

hi,

As IO pointed out the ship stats are taken from the realworld, which is why some guns of the same approx calibare have different AP and traits.  The ships fire control systems and the Nations ammunition manufacturing affects the range of the weapons.

And yes the points across the book are messed up and make little sense…

However you then…[Read more]

hmmm…..

It looks / sounds like its all hands to the pump to hit the promise of getting the BP Epic ACW out at the end of the month…..

1) light guns using DP are light guns that are able to shoot flights, they by pass Tough & Very Tough but are used during the ships activation -this has been confirmed by the Author on Social Media,  if you check out the ‘news from the wardroom!’ thread I’ve put up a flights 101 guide which has all the references of how they work.  There is also a…[Read more]

1) – yes pg 95
2) as heavy AT gun, no it can only pivot (pg 95)
3) heavy artilery needs a TOW, light /medium can be man handeled

By this point in the war the Free French where entirely equipped by the US

however 1st Army (France) – Wikipedia as a whole…but if you focus on 2nd Armored Division (France) – Wikipedia

Also if you look at Campaign : Battle of the Bulge it has a Free French Europe platoon.

One of the Wardroom members posted this up, so I thought I’d share it here as well.

@SteveT – yes, they are in Flames of Empire Book

@Nick – As per the FAQ they dont get any army special rules….how ever you can get the Austrailian /British Native Irregulars, or get the Japanese Spearmen and remove the spears replacing them with rifles.

They would be the people of the ‘greater east asia co-prosperity sphere’ who belived the…[Read more]

Is it duel in the sun? or the other western desert book?

Its in the flights stats section of each nations arsenal.

level bomber (ie the B17) have the heavy trait – this is a possible critical on a natural 5 or 6.

Dive bombers & torpedo bombers have the devastating trait – this means they ignore the ships armour and do hull damage (only armoured deck or torpedo belt can modifiy it) and do possibly a…[Read more]

They are a seperate unit that share an order dice.

However the order dice is rem0ved if the mortar /howitzer is.  So for Prelim bombardments, yes they are treated as two different units.
