Nat, TBH, I haven’t looked that deeply into the lists.

I really asked the question on behalf of another club member, as he was having a problem logging in.

I like you, have the opinion that you can add the command trait to any vehicle.

But, if you differ, my advice to any German player would be to take a command armoured car,

my choice would…[Read more]

French have at least one… which is a soft skin with zero transport capacity.

Thanks for looking Nat.

I see it as you do.

Only the Germans have command vehicles listed. As far as I can see, and its not a German only rule.

I am unaware of any other command vehicles listed, I don’t see that changing.

Unless Warlord are secretly working on a range of allied command vehicles.

I hope that scaley back isn’t giving you any trouble.

@Stuart – fair…. shows how much I use it :p (to wit – I dont… normally forget which tank IS my command vehicle!)

@capt Scarlett – cant find it now 🙁  … wondering if it was a Warlord one now :/

@ Nat – “As a comander they CAN give their +1 morale to infantry… (there’s nothing stating that they are limited to giving morale to vehicles so therefore the default rules of morale being applied to all friendly units in range should work”

Second sentence of the command vehicle rule, p149.  ‘The command vehicle adds a morale bonus of +1 to itse…[Read more]

Nat, could you provide a link to the article? Thanks

They cant receive orders from platoon commaders, as they count as platoon commanders for issuing and receiving orders, but can from company officers. (pg 149 and 113)

>how this interacts with rifle platoons and transports is any ones guess!

Well on page  149 it describes command vehicles interactions which seem to only involve other vehicles. Though they could receive other orders from other officers. So while infantry platoon and company commanders can seem to confer a morale bonus to vehicles like tanks…[Read more]

Thanks Nat.

Eg my current Soviet platoon is
1 x T60
2 x BT7
1 x T34/85

None of these have the command vehicle option so I have to upgrade one of them to be the platoon commander for +10 points.

So this isnt very clear in the rulebook BUT was clarified on Facebook & in one of the articles …

For armoured pltns:
If you include a vehicle that has the command vehicle trait then they are automatically the platoon commander.
If you dont have a command vehicle in your list you MUST upgrade ONE to be a command vehicle even if it doesnt…[Read more]

Updated VMF file…

& updated wardroom errata which adds a few ships to existing nations…

Despite the name, this is a balance pickup game checksheet

You can choose which of the entries you dont want to use when organising your game /tournament.

2nd part of the points chart

posting here as it has ABDAflot as its own national roster for gaming.

*Hopefully* when the Armies of book is released in July (armies of GB) they’ll put the v2 errata back in that fixed this!

Basically it looks like they copy and pasted the original v2 entries when they wrote the v3 rulebook, and so reverted a number of units (including the Lancaster armoured car) back to the original incorrect entries!

I’d go with two in a single turret as theres nothing to tell us to add a second turret.
