Nat started the topic Close Quarters in the forum Cruel Seas 3 years, 11 months ago
So just received a copy of Close Quarters…
And there are some glaring omissions and padding in it!
1) Why include an aircraft type column in the tables then not mention them/ give extra flavour? I mean whats the difference between a fighter & a heavy fighter OR an attack aircraft ….a single engined spitfire has exactly the same rules as a…[Read more]

Nat started the topic Chelmsford Bunker – Napoleons wars in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 11 months ago
I’ve consolidated the various optional rules from the 3 black powder supplements for the Napoleonics in to a single document for the guys at my local club in the UK. Any way thought I’d put it up here to see what people think.
Its written in a short hand as we all have the supplements, but rather than having the take them all around I thought…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic The Impossible Conundrum in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 11 months ago
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]

Nat replied to the topic Setup question in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 12 months ago
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

Nat replied to the topic German Nebelwerfer and British Land Mattress in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 12 months ago
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!

So with the RN & KM boxes shown for preorder today…
Whos up for guessing what ships & aircraft the IJN & USN will get next time?
I guess the IJN will get the ISE or Fuso class Battleship for something between the Yamato and Kongo
The aircraft…1 x Emily, 4 x Pauls (the fighter designed for flying off the Ise BB) & 4 x georgesUSN… not…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Japanese dug in tank in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 12 months ago
Its a defensive unit…most missions have a 12″ deployment zone, so I’d read that as must be within the deployment zone

Nat replied to the topic Skirmish units in the forum Black Powder 4 years ago
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!

Nat replied to the topic Breaking allied army in the forum Black Powder 4 years ago
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]

Nat replied to the topic Hidden Units Detection in the forum Bolt Action 4 years ago
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]

Nat replied to the topic Hidden Units Detection in the forum Bolt Action 4 years ago
My take on the situation is: Tiger Fear has an exception in the FAQ that means it effects units embarked on a transport. Hidden Units are not stated to be affected by units on a transport, and transported units are mentioned not to be able to interact with units not on the transport (see officers Snap-to). So unless those infantrymen disembark t…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic German 88 mm flak gun base size? in the forum Bolt Action 4 years ago
Artillery go on what ever base you like!
All Measurements are to/from the breach of the gun (pg 96 – I think). All crew have to be within 2″ of the breach to maintain coherency, and are assumed to be individually based on standard round bases (for when working out HE… the only time it matters.).

Nat replied to the topic How does AA fire against Flights and Flight attacks on Ships ACTUALLY work? in the forum Victory At Sea 4 years, 1 month ago
You are the first person I’ve seen say torpedoes need to be less accurate… they are at a base -2, meaning they’ll never hit better than a 4+…and that’s close range in broadside!
also whilst the long lance has a number of people saying range is too long for games it’s the only one…..
