Its still in beta, but aside from the fact that ALL types of soviet comissars disapeared last update is pretty much there.

Actually …. scrub that… cant use it today – no abilty to select a nation to create a list!

The answer to that is very nebulus…

Its down to the TO…thats the bottom line of Tournaments.

Its their choice to what books they allow… they can over-ride the FAQ, and often do limiting armies to units from X books… Some will make allowances for a specifc army ie theirs a tournament near me that will only allow armies of books, but allow…[Read more]

Guts & Glory is the BP Epic …

its two small (single re-enforced brigade) sides… OR 1 moderate force

Wakeless rule is to show that the torpedo makes very little to no visable effect on the surface when traveling through the water…. note even when firing a wakeless torpedo from a submarine you still have the air bubble raising to the surface which in standard weather are visable.

Evade Order means that the ship is braced for sudden violent…[Read more]

You do have the equipment card, bomb shackles, for fighters….

Soviet fleet for VaS!

feedback welcome

The Rulebook contains a ‘get you by list’ …this is rather  basic

The main Japanese list is in ‘armies of Japan’  whilest its a v1 book its still the current one.

@Jermaine

Bolt Action is written as Rulebook + ‘armies of … ‘  plus one campaign book/ series.

Each campaign book /seriers (like Italy or DDay) are written as if the others dont exist*…. this means there may be some perculair interactions if you do use them together.  However having said that most (but not all) units will have comments a…[Read more]

IIRC the guard was only used as a self contained corp…

No,  remove models is a specific step that occurs after taking casulties.

You make your green check at the taking casulty step, so therefore the commissar bypasses this.  However you havent suffered any casulties, therefore you can still take your green check if you then get shot later in the game.

…. unless its the BM-31  (from Ostfront I think…) in which case one is actually a Spotter.

@Kodiak

The answer is simple – game balance (it stops you poking one guy out with say a rifle  to put a pin on a unit while keeping the rest untouchable.) and to help (as the rulebook says it the same paragraph) give the impression that everything /model is fluid and in motion…

DOWN is the representation of infantrymen not moving and hiding…[Read more]

yes…if you manage to roll that well!

lets see… M5  at 6″ away… thats +1 for range -2 for hard cover (over half the squad is out of sight behind hard cover) so hitting on 4s… that’d be 9 hits on average… against inexp 6 kills, against regulars thats 4 or 5…. if 5 kills then thats a moral check for the remaining 5 and possibly wipe…[Read more]

@eric … like to see what pistol you are using to have an accurate range of 120 yards.

Now I dont have epic BP…..

But independant units shouldnt count towards brigades breaking but SHOULD count towards to overal army…. ie I’d count them as an unbrakeable brigade of mauraders who’s brigade commander is your army commander.

Also the French wining by taking the LaHaye Sainte only fits with the history of the battle.

argh… take 2…
1) WarLord rules are frame-work not pickup tight rules…they are still written in the 1980s mindset of you play with mates and alter the rules to fit what you want

2) Extra stands are due to allowing for breakages, as well as fitting the most possible models on a sprue to keep costs down (for us the gamers as well as…[Read more]

oh… also do check out discord as well… both the official warlord discord server as well as the Victory at sea one as not all people use facebook!

The game is based on being simple.. not realistic..

1.  the bow must be pointing at the board edge marked as the wind… so if the right hand side to you was marked as the wind then so long as your bow is pinting at SOME POINT of that edge they your good.  … this can be the top corner in order to get your carrier off their board edge

2.  th…[Read more]

Sorry havent logged in for a while so didnt see this.

But yeah most of the additional formation stuff is clash of Eagles as is the optional rules for forming squares.

The file is core rulebook v2 + Albion Triumphant 1 & 2 + Clash of Eagles combined…

Each base gets half a dice for shooting….

so a standard unit of 6 bases put 3 in skirmish… so 1.5 dice, as you cant have .5 of a dice its rounded up to 2
a large of 8 bases puts 4 … so only has 2 dice in skirmish shooting
