Thank’s, I didnt found it before, I search light mortar and didnt found.

Im looking for german light mortar (western front, Normandy).
On warlord store I found only a light mortar in afrika corps set.

Do you know if there is a generic light mortar?

Steel, what about this one?

I think main reason would be value, if you buy the 251 upgrade you’re paying £5.99 and only get 2 guys and a mortar that you have to convert from medium into a light mortar.  With the DAK he’d be paying £6.00 get what he wants and be able to make 4 additional infantry that’ll be unique.

Though thanks for making me aware of that kits existenc…[Read more]

If it is a late war light mortar then why not buy the SdKfz 251 mortar upgrade sprue and convert the 8cm mortar to the short version? It should not be too difficult.

Thank you! This is a good idea

Ah lol, didn’t realize that was the only thing you needed.  From the looks of it DAK is the only set that has it.  You could get a single sprue and make the mortar, plus a few unique rifleman or MG team; never hurts to add extra variation to your army

Here’s a link to buy a single sprue if that’s what you’d need to get it done

Mmm so there isn’t a light mortar team alone or in a support set, but I have to buy 40 euros afrika corp set… Mmm I already self made an antitank rifle, sturm pistole and grb-39 grenade launcher models, so now  I try to make a light mortar team😅

Have you kept the heads from German grenadiers or other sets?  If you have, just get the DAK set and paint the uniforms Feldgrau instead of tan.  I’m no historian but as far as I can tell the uniforms and gear are pretty much the same.  You won’t get any STG44s in the kit but if you’re like me you have enough already  🙂

Here’s the video, a lot of his bashes include winter Germans, they seem to be one of the most versatile kits available

Best conversion method I’ve seen is from OnPointHQ where he makes plastic winter airborne.  He uses winter German bodies with US GI arms and heads with airborne gear.  The webbing won’t be 100% correct but at tabletop distance you won’t really know much of a difference.

Thanks Nat and Big Al for the clarifications on what “breakthrough move” was intended to be. I knew the supplements were written for V1 so I checked both. I like the flavor it adds, so will use the “Gallop at Anything” rule, just with Sweeping Advance. I agree that the wording is weird and hope that at some point they either FAQ/errata them, or…[Read more]

As Nat has said, the supplements were all written with V1 of the rules in mind.

There are a couple of things to consider and the main one is that the rules in the supplements are just suggested alternatives or additions. It is up to you whether you use them or not or even to tweak them. They are not actual rules replacements, just…[Read more]

Albion 1 +2 (+ clash of Eagles) are V1 rulebooks….and written in a gentelmans framework not a tight ruleset like modern games.

However a Break through move is used to describe what a sweeping advance is… (In an ideal world / tight ruleset the rule would say must make a Sweeping Advance and move maxamuim distance even it it takes them off the…[Read more]

Assaulting any building has to be done through entrances … so windows, doors

If trought entrances, then you can’t assault reaching a window, beacuse you can enter in a bunker only reaching a door.

Rules are not clear on this. You can assault reaching an opening (opening that you can use to enter or not) or only reaching an opening you can e…[Read more]
