richard zamudio replied to the topic Number of stands in a 15mm cavalry regiment? in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 6 months ago

Well, I am suffering from a poorly phrased question. What I am really looking for is how many stands per regiment. If 120 men make up a squadron, and let us say there are 8 squadrons, how many stands represent that regiment? In many systems that would be 4 stands. Am I to assume that a single stand in Epic represents a regiment or do I make…[Read more]

You have gone above board in providing this information! Many thanks.

What is the correct number of stands for a small, medium, and large cavalry formation?

richard zamudio started the topic Australian troops in Burma? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 6 months ago

Were Australian troops ever deployed to Burma in WWII? Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

richard zamudio replied to the topic Whats next for Black Powder? in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 7 months ago

I feel that any additions to the Epic scheme of things should certainly include the Russians and Austrians! Or perhaps a nod to the Peninsular campaign. In my opinion, the 100 Days campaign is of interest, but some what limiting in the entire scope of the Napoleonic era. It certainly remains to be seen what will eventually emerge.

Wow! Thanks for the quick reply! The photos were very helpful.

Hello to all! I am painting some English WWII figures and I have some questions: What is the color of a blanket roll (?) cast onto the packs?

What is the color of the entrenching tool handle? As most of the forum is made up of Brits, this should be easy to answer! Thanks to all!

richard zamudio replied to the topic Black powder: Size of 15mm bases in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago

WOW! You have been very helpful and have provided very useful information. I realize that it is probably a case of swimming upstream when trying to use 15mm figures in game really designed for 28mm. I congratulate you on your efforts to do such a conversion. My real situation is that I have many, many 15mm figures from a long time ago and I don’t…[Read more]

richard zamudio started the topic Black powder: Size of 15mm bases in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago

How do I determine frontage for 15mm? Do I halve the recommended frontage? The question as to range/movement has been addressed(use cm instead of inches, etc.)

Also, how are differences in units addressed- French versus Austrians (different unit frontage/unit size )or French versus British?

Thanks in advance for any help in this matter.

richard zamudio started the topic Converting Blackpowder to 15mm in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 10 months ago

As I am new to Blackpowder, What is the best route to using 15mm for a 28mm game? Is it best to convert distances to cm, or to halve them? Sorry to post such an oft posted question, but I was unable to navigate the search engine.

richard zamudio replied to the topic Volksgrenadier engineer/pioneer units? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 11 months ago

This shows that these units (in “theory”) existed. Thanks again for this useful information.

richard zamudio started the topic Volksgrenadier engineer/pioneer units? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 11 months ago

There are many more instances of the Volksgrenadier in action. However there is little mention of Volksgrenadier engineer/pioneer units. Are there any examples of the TO&E for such units? Thanks in advance.

richard zamudio replied to the topic Volksturm engineers/pioneers? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 11 months ago

Very useful information! It seems that a lot of the formations were “paper” units. Thanks again for the help!

richard zamudio started the topic Volksturm engineers/pioneers? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 11 months ago

Was there such a unit for the Volksturm? If there was, I would be interested in creating such a unit!

richard zamudio replied to the topic Luftwaffe field division in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 11 months ago

The Warlord paratrooper plastic box set is a good start point for making troopers. I like to use the figures with the longer jackets and add heads with Heer style helmets. I also have seen a Concord publication that shows artwork for a LW Fieldivision trooper who is wearing the paratrooper style smock but wearing a Heer style helmet. His trousers…[Read more]

Thanks for the3 information!

richard zamudio replied to the topic Unit sizes? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 11 months ago

Just making conversation: Kar98k- What should the FG42 be categorized as? I am somewhat clueless as to what certain weapons ought to be in a game format :)!

richard zamudio replied to the topic painting Indian troops in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 12 months ago

Thanks for the help! Here in the USA there is very little printed information as regards these matters.

richard zamudio started the topic Unit sizes? in the forum Bolt Action 3 years ago

In the Armies of Germany (2nd. edition), the unit size for German paratroopers is 10 men. In the the new Italy campaign book the size is 12 men. Any reason for the difference?

richard zamudio replied to the topic Status of new campaign book and Italians in the forum Bolt Action 3 years ago

Thanks for the info!
