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]

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

yeah forgot about that (V2 rulebook pg 68 for the -1 to hit, and pg 70 for the support for others wondering)

Its a defensive unit…most missions have a 12″ deployment zone, so I’d read that as must be within the deployment zone

A skirmish unit has one frontage – front, until it is engaged and forms up…

which upsets my cossacks… who can only charge enemies in the flank or rear!

Well I’d take the rules that a 2 battalion brigade needs both destroyed to brake the brigade and take it up the army level.. so a 2 brigade army would need both broken to break the army.

So what you’d lose it flexiblity of having larger brigades you’d gain in overal staying power of the army…. It also means that this issue only turns up if you…[Read more]

However the rule do state that they are not on the table… so if they are not on the table how do you measure the distance from them to the hidden unit?  As to firing additional weapons on the transport, thats the transports weapons just using the skill and PINs of the transported unit so you know to measure (from the vehicle).

BUT as you say…[Read more]
