Are you building epic, I am in 28mm

Hi James im only an hour from leeds

So, if a structure is labeled a ruin, it is not a “building” it is presumed to have a single story for movement and elevation purposes and operates like dense terrain (thus model positioning is important, and range is measured to the models) and the units cannot fire through the terrain only into it.  If it is presumed to be a damaged building it…[Read more]

Off the top of my head a ruin is exactly like a forest (dense terrain) except that it offers hard cover, I think that answers all your questions(?) if you think of it like that. I note that the description of dense terrain includes “tumbled ruins” (see below). Have a good read though “RUINS VS INTACT BUILDINGS” on page 153, this one I though was…[Read more]

I can’t speak to the “app”, John.  I’m just an old flip-phone guy….

Howdy Nat!  My contention is that LMGs are belt-fed.  A BREN is magazine-fed…

A LMG has a crew of 2, is belt-fed, is air-cooled, is fired from a bipod.  An MMG has a crew of 3, is belt-fed, is fired from a tripod. Some WWII MMGs were water-cooled.  LMGs and MMGs fire rifle caliber ammo.  An HMG fires a much heavier cartridge, something in the…[Read more]

to answer to the OPs question … where would you put it?  as a squad (where 3-4 man squads are deemed too small…) as a weapons team – now its in direct comparision to the MMG & LMG teams and to be honest you’re looking at 50 points for a regular team with an LMG (15 points for the LMG, 30 points for 3 crew, 5 points because it doesnt have…[Read more]

erm… the Bren was an LMG not an automatic rifle…

also How a weapon is used is part of how a weapon is charcatised…. for example MMGs are just a game distinction, they were either light (squad) or heavy machine guns!

Next point is … its a game that has more in line with comic books of the 80s & 90s + Hollywood films over historical…[Read more]

Even so there is no panzer heavier then a Panzer 1 listed in the app

Howdy John!  I think the idea is that the Partisans are using armor they captured from the Germans.  I doubt either the US, Canadian or British militaries were handing over any tanks to Partisans.  Just one guy’s $.02….

Howdy Mike!  This is just based on my experience as a light infantryman.  Generally speaking, LMG teams don’t move around by themselves, they’re usually attached to some other unit; either attached to a squad to beef up a squad-level mission, or with the other LMG team and a fire team for security as part of the support element in a p…[Read more]
