In a lot of cases it doesn’t really matter, but for those few cases when it does matter, and the player forgets to announce AP or HE, then we either just back up and redo it or just go with the best choice since we play a friendly game. But our club rules is that officially we would backup to that point where the mistake was made and start over…[Read more]

There are a number of ways you can play it, and whether they’re considered ‘fair’ will depend on you and the person across the table, so best discussed with them at the time.
A few options are:
Re-do the whole shot by NOW declaring the type of shot and roll to hit again.
Randomise the type of shot, as suggested by Arty Gun.

I recommend you roll a D6. HE on 1 – 3, AP on 4 – 6.
This is good for all these types of issues.

<p style=”text-align: right;”>I have a question. How is it resolved or what happens, in the event that when I declare a target with a weapon that has, for example, a factor of Pen +5 and that also has HE 1″, but that at the moment of shoot I do not indicate what type of ammunition I am using (pen+5 or HE 1″)</p>

Hi John,
Very sorry to hear you are having a struggle getting started. I’ll take a pitch at trying to help with some suggestions.
I think part of the issue is that the rules aren’t very prescriptive about how you form units, brigades and armies as they wanted to be a flexible as possible. This is great for people with existing forces but of co…[Read more]

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 want2) 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]

Ok.. I *have* to be missing something here..
Nevermind the rulebook (which is a mess of mis-spellings, missing rules, incorrect rules, the worst index in gaming history, and 260 pages of bloat that SHOULD have been condensed down to about 100-ish max..)
Nevermind there’s still no official errata or FAQ anywhere for BP2.. (anyone else feel…[Read more] -

Nat replied to the topic Questions Wind/Smoke in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years ago
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

Hey there I have some questions i cant find specific anwers:
1.: The Wind direction for carriers says that the table edge where the wind comes from has to be in the front arc of the carrier. For example, the wind comes from west to east. So when the carrier stands straight from south to north but on the left side of the table, you have the…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Light mixed formation – how many dice for shooting. in the forum Black Powder 3 years ago
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 -
