Hi both welcome to the wonderful game!

The lists in the rulebook are a ‘get you by’ lists and are superseded by the ‘armies of…’ books.  IE if you have both ignore the lists in the rulebook.

Some units have entries in campaign books and not the armies of ..’ books so dont worry if people mention stuff you dont have rules for (check out…[Read more]

hmmm…..confused now! (doesnt take a lot some days :p)..I’m reading what you’ve written differently…. its reading to me like your saying if you roll a 6 to wound then that’s it the softskin is dead.

But they are still a vehicle, so you still need to roll on the vehicle damage chart (4+ to kill it… so a sniper who hits then rolls the 6 to…[Read more]

Sorry @Master Cheif but the Exceptional damage rule doesnt come in to this as the sniper (unless its OstFront Ziestsev) needs a 6 to wound the softskin, as a small arms theres no bonuses to the wounding roll against a vehicle.  Once its ‘wounded’ you then roll on the vehicle damage chart.  There is nothing on that chart that allows for m…[Read more]

Grenades either slow the game down for little benefit, ie the use of 1 per unit… hits 1-2 people with a normal hit or you end up with rules saying you can use X grenades here but only if Y can happen.
OR they are totally overpowered … a unit of 12 guys throwing grenades against a unit of 8 vets… each vet getting hit 2-3 times..

THey are a…[Read more]

1. In this game all rifles are rifles be they semi-automatic or bolt action.  The Russians also have a semi-automatic rifle on their sprue.
However most US units are all counted as having the M1 Grande  which is why their national rule is to ignore the -1 for moving and shooting.  IIRC in the errata a couple of units are stated as having the sp…[Read more]

I read it as more a case of two rules 1)artillery can ignore units of skirmishers when forced to shoot the closest unit

& 2) artillery can ignore the skirmishers of a unit when working out LoS & to hit score…. ie ignore the skirmishers and hit the line /column behind them.

To be honest… not cost effective for warlord to do this.

If they only put a few in a blister they wont sell and so waste of money manufacturing them/ marketing & distributing them, too many and they either only sell one or two OR the ‘loose plane’ blisters out sell the based planes.

Dont forget that most things are made in house so resource…[Read more]

for  board sizes, the did say (although it might be v1) that they playtested on a 8′ 6′ board.

For bent lines, I’ve read it as IF you move, you need 1 order to straighten the line before heading off….ie you want to move 6″ down the road you need two orders

I dont get how one publisher can have them available on their site yet the other partner doesnt….

ok I also dont get how DDay Canadian is £16, & Marinas in £19.19 for ebook & PDF but yeah…..

each nation has a generic light, medium and heavy artillery piece… which is open for people to use the models they like…

As to the exact weapons… well in BA they are generic, rifle, SMG, LMG ect (except the BAR)… now I’ll say here I dont play french (nor does anyone in my local club!) so apart from i’ve put i’ll let other with more…[Read more]

The BA Campaign books are published by Ospreypublishing .com ….under osprey games on the website…

Hmm…. ok Forums ate my reply!…because I’d linked wikipidea in it!

So without wiki links…

Look at Campaign: battle of the bulge for an army list of the 1st Army but heres a list for you to start off

consists of Officer, medics, forward observers, chaplains
infantry: late war squads, FFI squads, Tiralleurs, morrocan Goumiers, Brigade de…[Read more]

decoration

models dont get to bring their own cover

Zaitsevs rules win… they are a definite 2+ irrespective of anything else… he ‘wounds’ vehicles on a 2+.  Kieffers rules say that instead of a 5+ you need a 6+

So Kieffer changes the wound chart from 5+ to 6+, then Zaitesev changes it 2+ as he doesnt care about the starting value…. OR Zaitsev changes it from a 5+ to a 2+ then Kieffer CANT…[Read more]

you get to choose if units like observers /snipers are part of the reserves or deployed units.

If deployed units then they can use their deployment rules instead of the normal rules

As a Russian I’ve played against the Nebelwerfer a couple of times… the potential damage it can do with the templates is enough that I’ve targeted it as soon as possible!

well over on the BRS Facebook group… one of the guys with an insight has said it should be out this year (was slated for last year ..but covid happened)
so here’s a copy of what they put
