Your list above, on the Kumano should that be the 1944 refit and not 1943?

I redid my list correctly and he was what I came up with;

1500 pts 1941 British Fleet

HMS Ark Royal 250pts (15 flights)

HMS Prince of Wales + 1941 refit 625pts (2 aircraft)

HMS Belfast 130pts (3 aircraft)

HMS Dido + 1941 refit 95pts (Radar)

HMS Neptune + 1941 refit 130pts (Radar)

6 x Tribal Class Destroyers + 1941 refit 270pts (Radar)

So…[Read more]

About poor rolls, thats why we say if you are going carriers you must go all in on the scouting table (or deploy everything and hope to get the needed flights off in game).

Now the list above I’ve used once against an opponent (and a few times against my other fleet to see how it works) and 7 SP is very very bad rolling

With all this 88 talk, and pictures like the one shown before (from WG front page), I really encouraged to put some paint to my 88s I have assembled.

For sure, one of the 88s I plan to paint will be in overall dunkelgelb so it can perform double duty as mid to late war Europe and North Africa (close enough). I will have two sets of crew. For the…[Read more]

So I was looking at a British fleet and here is what I came up with based on any 1941;

HMS Ark Royal (15 flights) 250pts

HMS Duke Of York (2 Aircraft, Radar) 600pts

HMS Warspite (2 Aircraft) 375pts

HMS Belfast (3 Aircraft) 130pts

HMS Dido (Radar) 90pts

HMS Neptune (1 Aircraft) 120pts

Tribal Class Destroyers x 4 (Radar 1941 refit) 180pts

So…[Read more]

Damn, I am such a plum sometimes, lol. No wonder I couldn’t find where it says about Radar and A.Radar for scouting, I was looking at those sections under additional rules, lol. Nearly wrote the whole section out so you could see it wasn’t there :/.

But that is a whole lotta scouting you have going on with that fleet. Certainly gives me something…[Read more]

Thanks, IO, much appreciated 😀

re move & fire, depends if you are using the optional rules of 2+ moves means unable to fire.  If your not then yeah so long as you give the order of move to X and fire then I cant recall a reason why not.

Yes the Batteries are independant units, they dont require limbering but thats the only exception that i can think of.

Example list that I used last game: – Year 1943 (-THIS IS IMPORTANT! personally this is the most balanced,,, pre 42 Allies struggle post 43 then the axis will due to refits and flights available)

Akagi, 8 A6M5 Zero Fighters, 9 x Jill Torpedo Bombers – 250
Shokaku, 1942 refit, 9 A6M5 zeros Fs, 9 x Jill TBs – 280
6 x Betty TBs (land based) -…[Read more]

Ok Radar Trait (sorry dont have the page number), they add +1 to the scouting roll (so instead of needing a 5+ for the SP its a 4+) it also allows you to re-roll failed rolls… Advanced Radar add +2 instead.

Not all DDs have Radar Trait, some add it as a refit so you need to look hard – for example with the Japanese only the Yugumo starts with…[Read more]

Lovely sight.  Superbly setted,

Are there specific Gebirgjäger support weapons and transport vehicles that I should consider?

This is from the latest FAQ, but I’m sure the concept applies to all. Including a Gebirgsjäger Force, so this should help some:

“I want to collect an army of paratroopers. However there are no
specific paratrooper officers, snipers, MMG teams, etc to go…[Read more]

Sorry for the late follow up, in pg 103 CoE; point 6 it states regimental artillery can move a maximum of two turns as well as the battalion it is with.

So if a Regimental Section is attached to a Battalion does that mean it can move two turns and fire?

Also a Regimental Battery follows the rules of a normal Foot Battery except its range is…[Read more]

The only special rule is for cover and down.

So all other modifiers apply: pins, range, movement, small target etc.

On a similar note, I can’t find anything that stating that you don’t just always start with all your land-based aircraft on the board… is there something I’ve missed, or are carriers just inefficient due to the turn limit?

By following the normal shooting/to hit rules, that’s what you should do, seen so many argue about it, was wondering if somewhere it specifically clarified it for a Flame Thrower Team.

and Thank you Jacob

Thanks guys, certainly given me something to think about, although I read the rules for scouting, to be honest I dismissed them, as I didn’t want to risk potentially losing ships during a game or have them turn up late to the party. Didn’t even accour to me to use planes from ships etc, only had a couple of games so far.

@Nat – I’m not sure where…[Read more]
