Perhaps a different perspective from someone who has been gaming and painting miniatures for over 50 years.  When I started gaming, figures were 1:72 scale (around 20mm tall and skinny), which is a bit short, since it translates to a human being under 5 ft tall.  Later, models bulked up to 25mm and this scale dominated in the 70s and 80s.  Then 28…[Read more]

I found this interesting and informative…

Could be the stater guide won’t go live until pre-orders start shipping in full for the new K’47 sets.

Also side question from me, if you have the starter, what is the base size for the…[Read more]

Thankyou for your message!

The token is a model or marker and is placed 18″ from the target in any direction (it even makes reference to using a single agreed point on the model/marker for measurement at the end of the paragraph your quote is taken from).

Multiple HE hits only yield a single set of pins, see p100, Weapons, HE (High Explosive), Multiple HE Hits, second para.  The pins from HE (or other multiple pin weapons) replace the standard single pin for scoring hits on a target unit, they’re not in addition.

Interesting.  I am not sure the “indirect” fire really works. Are spotters really calling in fire to Piat teams?

Instead, it seems like you just want to fire at targets over 12″ range up to 30″ range and treat it as a HE (1″) indirect fire shot when it comes to…[Read more]

Can a Forward Air Observer spot for a mortar team and then call in an Airstrike in the same turn? The FAQ says that a spotter/observer can only spot for one “Indirect Fire weapon” per turn, but I can’t find any reference to an Airstrike as Indirect Fire (in fact, the definition of IF on p.101 is “weapons that shoot HE shells indirectly” – an…[Read more]

They are all one unit, so yes they are fighting. If the melee caused the unit defending the village to break then the whole unit breaks, the part of the unit ‘on the other flank’ doesn’t get to stay. Why, because they are one unit – and you cannot fire into a unit in combat. If you and your opponent agree to house rule something else thats fine,…[Read more]

I agree with you that Warlord developers don’t seem to understand how weapons (or tanks, trucks, etc) work.  That said:

1.  Pistols, when available, are much faster to use in close quarters than other firearms.  WLG shouldn’t have nerfed them.

2. 12ga shotguns with OO buckshot are lethal out to about 100 yards.  That puts them at about the sam…[Read more]

I agree, but troops on a different flank aren’t fighting.

i’m saying you can’t fire into combat, even from another flank.

Hi,

So your saying the defenders may fire out of the village with those dice not being used in the melee, does that mean I can’t return fire. Remember this is a village not a singe house and we’re not talking about the same face as the melee is taking place.
