Thanks for the prompt reply! Your answer is much as I expected.

Same rules as infantry.

If target unit has not already taken an order in that turn, then can react opening fire.

Up and at ’em It you dont have AT grenades.. its a mute point because you arent going to destroy the tank… if you do have AT grenades its a mute point as you dont take the tank fear test anyway…

Blood Curdling Charge; as said in the FAQ, its treated like being within 6″ of the target… so units in ambush still get to fire.

the Mogami refit brings another 4 aircraft for scouting, and as the turrets bearly do anything for me the aircraft are a better propersition :p

re the Kumano – going off memory (& BattleScribe) as books at homeone of them gets its radar & +1 AA a year earlier than the other… its basically the Radar trait that the list is after.

Just to append Enioch’s point:

If playing pickup games /non historical scenarios then you just take the names as sub-classes as there is no restrictions to only 1 of a name.

So for example the Mogami class heavy cruiser class had 4 ships, but you are not limited to only having 4 in your fleet.  Only one of them had a massive refit that removed…[Read more]

Hi Martin

I’m the club secretary for Greeenock and District Wargames Club. We meet on Sunday afternoons, and play a lot of Bolt Action. We did a Pacific game yesterday at Carronade.

All batallions consisted of 5 companies , the 5th company being a grenadier company in the 1st Line, a light company in the 2nd line and a rifle armed Atiriadore company for the Cazadores.

Pre 1812, the…[Read more]

If you are playing a pickup game taking place in year X (you have to agree on what date that is with your opponent, to determine availability of national rules such as VT fuzes and functioning USN torpedoes), you can deploy any ship that was commissioned before or during year X – and you see that in the commissioning date field in the data…[Read more]

Thanks Enrioch.

So really you only have to worry about the exact name and commision is really if you were playing a historical scenario. But during general play I could just go by the date on the data card?

You never go by the model. The model is a placeholder. The reason it has a date on it is because ships get refits and their appearance changes – the model is accurate to how that ship would look at the date mentioned on the model.

In a battle, models can be used to depict the ship at any point during its lifetime. If you have a battle taking…[Read more]

Thanks the link is really useful. Ill have a look at one one my next show and if it looks ok pick it up.

There were many WW1 artillery limber. Virtually every gun and howitzer type had its own specific limber.  That said most were externally similar and most served in both world wars either unmodified or with new ammunition racks, new wheels and suspension for new guns etc. I suppose it depends on how accurate you need your model to be.

Have look…[Read more]
