<p dir=”ltr”>I recently played against a very experienced player and he eliminated my mortar team with one shot with a sniper.  Now it’s clear to me that nobody plays heavy mg, which I find completely unrealistic because when the shooter has been eliminated, the man next to him has taken over the task.  The set of rules is, in my opinion, still t…[Read more]

@ Alan,

“… a move at advance or run rate, which may be forward or reverse,…’ Doesn’t change how fast a vehicle can go when moving forward or reverse. It simply has both options open to it.

Quick Update, Daleks have been added to the list! they dont mess around that’s for sure

Armament in Miniatures does a really nice betty :

Yes Jim, that would be great. A couple of examples
– Units within dense terrain need 50% of their figures in terrain to get cover. Units obscured by the same piece of terrain need more than 50% to get cover. (Both page 57, Cover).
– Recce units with dual direction steering can take a full Run in reverse, those without only get a full Advance.…[Read more]

Snipers can hit the mortar tube and disable it or the MG’s receiver and disable it.  I just look at it that way plus the odds of a sniper actually doing that in a game depends entirely on the quality of the MMG or Mortar team in question.  I mean against a veteran MMG team he needs a 3+ at least to hit, and a 5+ to kill.  Changing this ability me…[Read more]

Pink with a Hello Kitty on the seat would be my personal choice.  But most would have been some shade of olive – yellowish brown.  I would probably mix them up between olive and yellowish brown.  I like varying shades same with infantry I paint them with speed paints but I undercoat them in different colors.  This sort of offsets the toy look IMH…[Read more]

If a sniper can hit a helmet he can hit a MG receiver or a mortar tube is the way I see it.  Also while it may be a huge threat against a 2+ company spam list full of inexperienced teams.  Against regular or veteran teams their track record is poor.
Transports are fine 2 guys in a half track though aren’t going to hang out while enemies approach t…[Read more]

I prefer a good cleanup of currently abused mechanics rather than any sweeping changes.  Example waiting to the end of the turn to give a fire order to a tank in order to fire the pintle mount without suffering the open top penalty is a bit too gamey.  If it fires the pintle mount it should remain open topped until it’s next activation, and not j…[Read more]

Hi William

You’re not missing anything, it’s just the game has developed. Initially when the expansion sets were released the idea was these were to allow players to use 3rd party or proxy models until Warlord caught up. When it came around to releasing the A6M2 model Andy took the opportunity to introduce a new trait – No Stalling – which better…[Read more]

A bit late to the party.

But, I would like to see things like bamboo spearmen limited to theatre selectors. Or else, limit them to 0-2 like in the theatre selector at the end of the japanese army book.

I went to my first competitive event and I had a game against an entire army of them. I managed a draw, but come on. An army of spearmen in a…[Read more]
