Good point, I play Soviets as well but never noticed that as I am not a fan of anti-tank guns, prefering to pay more points for tanks instead. I just checked the FAQ and did not see any errata, so they are 2-man teams, benefiting from the “small team” added bonus when target by enemies.

@Master Chief – the M3 Scout car has the option of taking 4 pintel mount HMGs with have limited fire acrs in game … off top of my head front + left, front + right, rear + left, rear + right

@Thomas – the HMGs are on the corners of the transport area and whilst theoritically alble to fire accross the loading bay its not that practicle

I get where you are coming from.  The White Scout Car had a rail that went around the perimeter of the whole crew compartment so weapons could be attached at any position and moved if required.

Whether weapons slid easily on that rail or needed to unclamped, removed and clamped is something I don’t know.

All the examples I have seen have had a…[Read more]

Bolt Action 2nd Edtion page 114:

Transport vehicles have a minimal crew, so they can only fire one of the weapons they are equipped with. If they are equipped with more than one weapon, these can be fired only if the vehicle is carrying/towing a unit whose members act as weapon crew – each weapon being fired needs one man to operate it. If the v…[Read more]

“So your saying ignore the dogfight completely?”

I’m saying play it as written. AA can’t shoot into the dogfight, bombers make their attacks, and then probably get savaged by the fighters afterwards (but might actually win if they get lucky with the die rolls – particularly if the “bombers” in question are F4U Corsairs).

As justification for…[Read more]

And another, well-known atoll…

I think they are similar to pillboxes, except they are made of metal and can be moved manually using horsedrawn carriages, so I guess the “closest official” rules are Bolt Action rules 2nd Edition page 127:

BUNKERS
The following rules cover bunkers, pillboxes and all other reinforced buildings specifically designed to protect soldiers from enemy…[Read more]

Thanks for the detailed answer.

I have to say, i find it a bit unfortunate, that Warlord games sells a unit (specially in the deluxe box from “The longest day”) without having any rules, any army lists or any scenarios where i can use them.

But again, thanks for the answer,

By the way @d.giessmann, Kate and Val stats from beta:

Val: Dive Bomber; 17″move, CV-capable, -1 dogfight, 1940 deployment, 1 DD, Devastating

Haha I think I know which manufacturer you are referring to 😂 I am eagerly waiting for their twin bazooka armoured Willys jeep kit (need to get it with their new re-released Willys jeep), although I have already “kit-bashed” 2 using the Warlord Armoured jeep and 4 spare bazookas from my US weapons sprues.

I will order the new kits together with…[Read more]

I’m in the UK so don’t suffer from any currency conversion fees with Warlord games but I still find their prices too expensive.

• In the UK you can buy Warlord Games products significantly cheaper from other retailers.
• Their one price fits all shipping discourages me from making small purchases.  For example, recently, I wanted a decal shee…

The change in currancy acceptance and the related exchange rate may not be warlord, but rather the bank that provides the payment portal..

I think it is not. I used to see the prices displayed in £, and when I pay with my credit card or Paypal, my credit card bank or Paypal does the exchange rate conversion, and charges a fee.

Now I see prices di…[Read more]

And you’re a cheeky b*****d. ;D

The partisan idea does sit well with me, it is a strong theme that is also versatile across several theatres with a few modifications. Especially with Wargames Atlantic’s fancy new kit coming.

The jungle fighters idea also sounds appealing and could tie into Konflikt ’47.

My German forces are pretty useless to connect any particular western…[Read more]
