1 – depends on what you mean by historical, unless you are looking at playing on a table the size of a tennis court with 101 charts and stuff like that there will always be an elament of game play

2- yes in the suplements (eg Albion Triumphant 1 &2 + Clash of Eagles)

ooh do share!

ps – for what its worth if Cunningham had been the british admiral as a Brit I would have liked it!  How about we see/ hear about the lesser known leaders in these historical based games?  (look at waterloo – everyones heard of Sir Auther Wellesley (but not by his name!), some of picton & Prince of Orange but what about about general Hill?  co…[Read more]

A rather generic idea ..would be… all of the men would be european flesh colour

British line Infantry – black shakos, dark red tunics with (colour -dependant on regiment) facings, white /grey trousers, white straps with light brown packs and ammo case on the belt, black shoes and waiste belt, grey roll on top of the packs

French Line Infantry…[Read more]

Due to lockdown the Chelmsford Bunker has a few of us discussing picking up BP, mainly peninsula war forces…we’ll see what happens when lockdown is over!

Thank you WL! (not sarcastic)

VaS items on the store have been updated now to read

“Please note this is a pre-order product and is due to be released TBC. <b>Any other products ordered at the the same time will be held until it is ready to go!”</b>

The other approach is just to play a KV1… then it doesnt matter what arc they are in, your still DV10+ :p

Irony factor … apparently the warlord spanish page has already announced it being pushed back to early june….

Hi John,  Have you tried the vairous North American Bolt Action Facebook groups?

I know they did this for lords of Erehwon….

Watching a Paul Stallard run through…. and As he’s saying you can do your firing at the end of any movement 1/3 (when you turn) ….

so id say ignore everything it says about rams and collisions and play that aspect as normal.   Ie if the MTBs is in the first movement a collision occurs, if not then you have to do normal ram tests

Look at the new Stalingrad book…there are 8 German selectors most have the types you are talking about.

It looks like WL are going more towards the gaming than the modelling side of the hobby.  Where you want to be able to see what something is from across a 4′ table with terrrain on.

Tank crews are additions to a vehicle so not important, where as seeing a model (and what its eqipped with) easily is for game play…. As more of a gamer than a…[Read more]

true… but its more that they have a release date of ‘late april /early may’ on the kits..

Its sounding like there is a delay in release until June time, due to the whole Covid19 thing……be nice to have an offical comment one way or another even if its just a note on the webstore saying ‘Victory at Sea release is delayed due to Covid19 we will update with a new release date when we can’

Its as clear as mud!

Do you drop the DC at any point in your movement or only at the end (ie when you would normally do your shooting)  ?

– With the talk of highly likely Ramming, it sounds like you should only be able to drop them at the end.

Can you do this in addition to your shooting?

– nothing saying otherwise

Is it a Ram (ie…[Read more]

you hit the side you are in the arc of even if you cant see that side … see the rule book for concealment of vehicles where it talks about not being able to see the front of a tank but work out the shot V the front

Casment weapons… basically they fire like fixed weapons so a 90deg arc

re the whole dry land or dead thing… 1 thing i’ve learned about house rules is they need to be concise and flow & also on this forum I try and make generic suggestions as I dont know your terrain :p

I mean the river could be all imparsable to infantry or the 2″ closesest to a bank could be difficult terrain etc etc

More Questions –

I know its been asked before, but not answered…. so here’s the question again.

When shooting at ships do Shin’yo rockets suffer -3 to hit or -4? 

‘normal’ rockets suffer -1 when shooting at land targets & -2 when shooting as naval targets, so with the wording of shin-yo’s suffering -3 instead of the normal -1 do they suffer…[Read more]
