@Nigel – the greyhound has the ability to rece away if it hasnt already activated… speed a unit is moving at is considered in the base to hit (ie not an extra modifier) for shooting – it’s speed does alter the to hit needed in assault.

@Stuart – indirect fire (the only way to hit top armour) has a +1 on the damage table as well.

Hi,

i’ve put some player aids in the thread ‘news from the wardroom’ which you may find helpful…

but to answer your questions:

1)you always need a 4 or more after D6 + modifiers, so yes if you have more than 3 negative modifiers over positive its an auto miss
2) yep, 30″ max range against moving targets – 1″ is ~ 1K yards… so the 30″ range…[Read more]

touche good sir! :p

Hence the ‘upgrade’ being in inverted commas :p

but the unit is still called a sniper :p

There is also the japanese lone sniper…however if he ‘upgrades’ to an LMG he goes back to taking a team weapon without a crew so suffers the -1.

Good shout.. will need to go back over the rules.

Well as of wednesday, the RM should be shipping this weekend.

Going off memory, you get some for signing up & some more for following warlord on instargram & facebook..

If you go to the store and sign in then you can look at your medals and see why they where awarded.

So the new rulebook has started shipping!  (got my shipping confirmation yesterday),

Oh so background mixed in the rules paraghraphs again…..

Just to add
4) building are hard to bring down with canon balls… not the sort of thing that could be done in a short space of time (even a couple of hours).  Look at some of the building still standing that where under fire during that time period.
Also buildings are abstract,  its very hard to find a single building big enough for 700+ men to f…[Read more]

Yes there are no points in the rule book, however points and stats are still in the supplements

Hi Nigel,

re frontage yes in line they would have the same frontage, ie small unit of 8 models of Cav take up the same foot print at 16 infantry. when in line.

For whats easier, depends who you are planning on playing.  As IO said, ask potential opponents, you may be able to combine orders and get cheaper delivery OR they already have a force…[Read more]

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’
