Thank you very much for your quick answers.

@ArtfulB….Albion Triumphant 2 pg 105 – KGL LINE have rifle mixed formation and are 40 pts

The KGL light battalions also have the same rule BUT are equiped with rifles so is pointless & NOT charged (i’ve done a breakdown of the points… they are costed for having rifles across the board)

Both regular British Line Infantry and KGL Line infantry are 39pts (AT1 pp  100,102, 104). British _*Lights*_ are 42pts vs 43pts for their dashing Hannovarian counterparts, which also have rifle mixed order capability (pp 100, 102, 103).

4) Tank riders and /or assault engineers as Vets with…[Read more]

He’s got some really cool stuff on his channel . Really love his dug in Panther hull .

I think there are a couple fo different questions to think about here.

1. Which conflict do you think Warlord will add to the ‘Epic’ range?  (This means a set of of 13.5mm plastic figures.)

2. What conflict will Warlord create a new supplements for next? (This is in effect an expansion book for one of the core rulesets, Black Powder, Pike & Shot…[Read more]

Hello,

I can identify with your struggles against Japanese opponents. I have had a similar situation with frustration; only I was playing U.S. Infantry forces at the time.

In terms of my opponent in question, he liked to play Chaos Space Marines when playing Warhammer 40K, and therefore chose (you guessed it) Japanese when selecting an army for…[Read more]

Yes

try Chain Of Command or my favorite “Battlegroup”

in all seriousness you may find hard to find players for these games because majority of what I see with Bolt action now are the 40 K crowd that wanna win at all cost and tweak their list

I have to mitt we are older and don’t play tournaments or kill or less we try to keep it histo…[Read more]

Yes, exactly.  Very odd isn’t  it!  I notice the earlier books seem to use whatever terminology they felt like…

Cheers for your input Stuart.
