Didn’t know that, I seriously don’t like that rule, I think that falls in with FAQ for Tiger Fear as a bad way to fix a problem.  I’d be willing to make an exception for someone just starting the game who may not have 1 in their army available, but you have EVERY opportunity to include a transport when you’re building a list.  I’d like it more…[Read more]

Many thanks Garry – as always, very helpful.

Also, I just realised that (somewhat ironically!) I was not precise enough in my own language.  When I referred to “Leader Model” I meant “Leader Base” i.e. one of the four bases of a standard unit in EB, not the actual leader mini figure itself.  Nevertheless the differences remain and EB still r…[Read more]

“If a heavy artillery piece is not deployed (like in scenarios where
everything starts off map), and the army does not include a tow/
towing vehicle, does it mean the artillery piece cannot enter the
battle? Is it lost, like reserves that fail to enter?
We will make an exception to the rules in this case, allowing
heavy guns that start…[Read more]

Thanks for posting this, I wondered what the differences were. I have too many 15mm already to divert to Epic. Anyway regarding your question, I would have thought a leader model was the same in all formats, it is the leader model that determines visibility not a leader base, so in a 13.5 mm model of 5 ish mm wide, it cuts down the options. The…[Read more]

As Stuart said there is both an entry for the 43 and the 44 in the armies of Germany book.

Have you looked into what you’ll need to transport the thing?  If you play any scenario with a first wave/reinforcements you will need something to even bring it onto the table.  As someone who uses a FlaK 37 (which I also recommend getting, it’s an absol…[Read more]

Cheers for the reply – yeah that’s a good point too. Ta!

Just the transport

The German AT gun servicewas ranked by size.

8,8 and 12,8 cm AT guns had been part of the Atrmy and Corps artillery.   So not in division.  They got used mainly to defend “Schwerpunkte” where large enemy Tank forces had been expected.  The weight caused the static use, sometimes under concrete.  It was essential to protect the flanks.  And g…[Read more]

Clarification is found in the new errata: They are seperate vehicles and the rules for vehicle units is optional.

The Pak 44 is already in the Armies of Germany book, p43.

I have also considered the massed assault , especially when using a russian mainly infantry based army.

What i was considering was early game (after purchasing MANY cheap cannon fodder infantry to lead!😁) have an officer snap to 3 lower rank officers who then all snap to further units of maximum filled out infantry (cheap inexperienced types to…[Read more]

What plastic is used for the epic scale figures? Can I prime them with a blast of Rustoleum Painter’s Touch Paint and Primer?

Thanks.

The white buildings are some old resin ones I had before Bolt Action 1st Ed was released.  They were resin facades that needed a lot of TLC to get them looking good, but make nice buildings.  The others are MDF buildings (cheap ones) from eBay with “texture” sheets printed an stuck to them.  We have a resin 3D printer coming sooon, so wil…[Read more]
