According to AoUS (p78), the reconnaissance jeep doesn’t have an upgrade option, just the MMG.  The airborne armoured jeep comes with HMG as standard.

Hi, just registered an account to ask people about a rules issue. I can’t find it being discussed before. Basically, the issue we’re running into as a few of us have started picking up BA is that we keep encountering problems where the Transport Vehicles & Tows rule in Force Selection (p.183)… doesn’t seem to work at all.

“If a vehicle listed…[Read more]

Still comes down to what kinda round does it fire.  Assault rifles fire a reduced-length rifle cartridge.  Automatic rifles fire a full-length rifle round….

The FG42 has a barrel 100mm shorter than a Kar 98 and 110mm shorter than a BAR. Do you think it may effect range? Also it kicked like a mule and was hard to control in full auto. Find a 8mm mauser with a 500mm barrel that shoots well over 400.The need for the fancy muzzle break/flash hider leads me to believe it also had alot of unburned powder at…[Read more]

Same effect as last time, just this time the author forgot to change the wording for the reason when cutting and pasting from the M3 Stuart entry.  AoUS first edition wording for the M24 ‘Vulnerable’ rule was “Vulnerable: because of it’s light armour, all shots to the side and rear of the vehicle get an additional +1 penetration modifier (ie, in…[Read more]

@Wolfy,

Looks to be a supplement author goof mentioning Ambush when it’s not applicable.

The same rule in AoUS (Sherman Calliope, p63, and USMC International M2-4 Rocket Truck, p75) has deleted the bit in brackets, and with it any mention of Ambush.

Multiple launchers:

Stationary firing platform: You can fire from ambush

Indirect fire: You cannot fire from ambush

Which one is it?

Aha! Thanks for this. So they class it as an Armoured Car rather than as a Transport, which is nonsense, given its role specifically as a Platoon Leader’s transport vehicle. And I have now found it in the app – it is only available if I take an Armoured platoon, I can’t add it as a transport vehicle in an Infantry platoon. Which is weird, because…[Read more]

Ah thanks guys, was just wondering if I had missed somehing.

I’m pretty sure you can’t see it because there isn’t such a rule, and hasn’t been in either of the two previous editions to the best of my memory.  Next time someone tells you there is, place the onus on them to show you the rule (and please do come back to share if he can show you one).

They may be getting confused with the Demolition mission,…[Read more]

AoG, p85,  It’s in the Armoured Cars part of the army list with the 250/10.  Making the 250/11 requires taking one of the options, so you might only see the 250/10 in the app.

Where in the rules does it say they can’t?

Now, there might be a special scenario rule where it says they can’t, but according the to core rules, units (infantry and artillery) with a down order can capture/hold/deny an objective.

That chart is taken from that book.

What we are saying is to avoid over-reliance on a single source of information, it is crucial to consult a variety of credible sources, then assemble the facts.
