You had the original battle of Britain 2 player rules – which are the free download ones.

You then had a 1.5 update version in airstrike, midway then used those rules but with the ground attack stuff removed

Starter box = all the air v air air missions plus some air v sea mission

Airstrike= all the starter box rules plus air v ground/sea

Wing commander= player progression campaign

Ah I see. So to clarify: starter set rules= bare minimum, airstrike=full rules, and wing commander=full rules+extra rules?

Yeah the Battle of Midway set is VERY tempting. Looks like a good way to jump into the game, when I get the time and funds that’s probably the way to go.

About the ace boxes, is this like an “expansion set” that lets you use…[Read more]

airstrike is the offical rules .. its a 1.5. … BUT if you get the midway two player set then all it will give you is the ground attack missions a few more naval ones and the cards…

While I recommend you get it wing commander isnt a requirement at all to buy unless you want to…what it contains is :  a campaign
unoffical / ready room house…[Read more]

Thanks Nat, this is so much help.

I was initially thinking that being able to mix planes would make squadrons more interesting, but then again you would probably have people running jets mixed with biplanes and such.

Yeah I eventually plan on buying some stuff for BRS eventually, but after starting BA and VaS I’m not really in the position to…[Read more]

Yeah probably. It’ll be interesting to see how they change it.

So points… you can buy equipment like rockets and such.. OR you drop an aircraft and up the pilot skill of multiple other aircraft.

Trait cards are found in aircraft boxes – please do buy the rulebook & AT LEAST THE ACE BOXES!  If you dont buy stuff from WL, then WL will no longer support the game.  You will need to buy a starter box because t…[Read more]

hmm historic use of marksmen- picking off officers and important people…

probably just better range, to hit, an extra pin & +1 PEN against infantry

Yeah maybe snipers can still pick casualties, but not remove the entire team in one shot. Which kind of sounds counter-intuitive. Maybe if the gunner gets sniped the loader can pass an order test to take over the gun or something? But they would have mentioned that in the briefing.

And NCOs have nothing to fear from snipers…unless there is some other ruling that lets snipers pick casualties.

Hahaha. meanwhile, America who slaps .50 Cal HMGs on everything….

Yeah I’m almost certain that they’ll change snipers in some way. because with small team rule and exceptional damage removed, they are basically a super expensive rifleman that’s slightly more accurate. Just how they will go about changing things is the question…

Thank you !

well one used to be official… until a couple of months ago ..so now called Unoffical Warlordgames Server :p

Or japanese with the type 91/93 armoured railroad car
…. looks at the two Nations I play…. <dolt>

re snipers… hmm in a vacuum if nothing else changes then they’ll be lacklaster.. BUT I think more stuff is changing.

When one of the vocal questions has been why cant loaders pickup the squad weapon, I can see why it was removed…. and WL have said on FB that they are gone not reworked & re-named!

Pistols losing assault, well tough fighter was 1 point, pistols were 1 point to gain tough fighter & a 6″ ranged shot… so again I can see why remove it.

Well that’s sad. Good thing I don’t play Soviets…

I’m wondering how snipers will change in v3. With the small team rule removed, and no longer causing automatic exceptional damage, they sound pretty pathetic unless they get buffed in some way.

I know of some house where snipers literally start hidden. Like there’s several tokens placed on the…[Read more]

The removal of the exceptional damage rules seems odd. We are going to end up with all the special weapons being the last to die. Perhaps they have reworked the concept as something else. Hope so.  And removing assault from Pistols makes them kind of pointless. But I suppose they wanted to address massive units of pistol wielders.

Hi, there are quite a few servers ? Is there one official one ? Thanks

Unless there’s a rule about primary weapons or sole turret weapons – yes… so unless the armies of … book and/or the rulebook get-you-by list changes stuff  the Ahistorical upgrade to removing the ‘open toped’ rule and adding a HMG (neither happened) will become the standard version … & the historical viarient of replacing the LMG with an AT…[Read more]
