Zara class/150mm belt armor

Myoko/102mm belt armor

Exeter/76mm belt armor

Portland/83-127mm belt Armor

Im still frazzled how these guys put a 2+ Armor for Zara and the rest of those cruisers have 3+.
Deck and turret armor is also SIGNIFICANTLY thicker. 150mm think turret armor compared to the other whose is way less than h…[Read more]

How many bases for them do you get?

looking at the pictures of the army box they have 3 bases of Roman cavalry (15 models… 8 sprues is 16) but 4 bases of the allied /mercenary cavalry
& in the hannibal box looks like you get 4 bases of each of the cavalry (20 models.. but 12 sprues so 24 models)

See these sections:

Tanks Assaulting Infantry and Artillery

Tanks Assaulting Other Vehicles

You get +1 when shooting at vehicles.

Can vehicles assault?

When you fire using reaction to an assault, you receive a Fire order.  All that mention is evidence of is that your AT gun will get that +1 to hit if it shoots at a unit assaulting it.  There may well be changes to reactions, but that mention isn’t an indication of any change by itself.

“DDay campaign books especially US beach” – I was only able to find anything in a single theatre selector, D-Day: Overlord, p176, US Beach Landing Reinforced Platoon, Special Rules, Fortification Assault Training – Bazookas get a +1 to hit vs bunkers and buildings, and a 1″ HE vs bunkers and buildings.

DDay campaign books especially US beach

Although as said those rules only last till end of September when v3 is released

But it was mentioned for AT-Guns fireing at Vehicles : All Anti Tank guns get an additional +1 modifier to hit vehicles when shooting with a fire order (including Ambush and reaction fire).

Currently there is nothing special for them.  It’s just a normal shot with a high pen value and a low chance of hitting, no HE or anything special.  Too early to comment if there’s any change coming with third edition next month.

AT guns use the same to hit mechanics as the general rules (direct fire) unless they have a version of the ‘versatile’ rule allowing them to fire as howitzers (eg: Soviet Zis 3).  Range is as stated in the weapons chart – light AT/48″, medium AT/60″ etc.  Mortars only fire indirect, Howitzers are the only weapons with a choice.

Sadly, Michael is right.   Whilst there was some support at the beginning, it doesn’t seem like anyone from the company has been here in years.

There is this thread from years back that Mr. Chambers was kind enough to comment on.   It is for Strontium Dog, but since they basically share a rules set, it may answer some of your Dredd que…[Read more]

yep….

As a general rule weapons break down to <40mm = Local X
40mm – 3.9″ guns = AA battery
4″-5.9″ = light guns
6″ + = turret guns

Now theres a few examples where some guns are used as a different catergory… but thats the general approach.

Reaction fire already exists (close quarters procedure, target reacts), so that mention doesn’t say anything either way about changes to reaction.
