I do it ever on resin stuff, that has often such a coat.

But  metal miniatures are today rarely coated with such a stuff.   In some 40 years I hardly met 10 miniatures that made any problems. And plastics have no such coating at all.

If they have a coating problem it comes from the modeller that played around with the miniatures on sprue or…[Read more]

Sorry guys, you are right. Shaken units can advance, they just cannot charge. My mistake!

@Big Al – that page number tells me shaken units cant charge, not that shaken units cant advance towards the enemy… I dont see how they are the same thing?  And as SteveT says its quite a difference.

Advance towards the enemy = make a move and end up closer to the enemy than they where before they moved…

charge = move in to hand to hand…[Read more]

There is a big difference between shaken units not being allowed to charge and not being allowed to advance on the enemy. I am very surprised Big Al you are usually more precise than this. As to my previous post I was reacting to your comment that ‘the rules only specify that one gun is one gun’, which is clearly no longer true.

All the…[Read more]

Thanks for the info, I’ll order the rule book and have a look.

Cheers,

BP is a very flexible minded system.   If you want a single model to represent a battery, do it. Or try some ways.  My Napoleonic forces have 1 model batteries, my Crimean war forces a 1 model ~ 2 real gun system. Allowing to show the different numbers of guns n batteries.

The front of a battery was wide, the guns not standing wheel by wheel. Th…[Read more]

Edited my last post with page numbers.

Look for it under Shaken!

The thing I found curious was Big Al saying  “a unit that is shaken cannot advance on the enemy”.  I’ve looked for that under shooting and hand combat. Can’t find it. It’s a game changer. I can find “shaken can’t charge” is all.

Sorry big Al, but one of the improvements in BP2 is  that they addressed this issue. On p.17 the rules discuss using two or three guns in a unit rather than one. The unit is described as a battery and given the frontage of a small infantry or cavalry unit, 120-150mm.  How many real guns is represented by the unit is left open.  However the gun sc…[Read more]

BoB80 Campaign Phase 1 Update

KanalKampf is over, but neither side know it yet. In the last month the skies over the Channel have seen constant battles as the Luftwaffe have tried to draw the RAF into a battle of attrition. It has been a close run thing, but as 12^th August 1940 ends it has become apparent that the Luftwaffe plan has…[Read more]

Is it right? Not really. That is some players’ opinion. The rules only specify that one gun is one gun. Some complain that the size of the base for artillery is too small and insist that the unit should consist of two guns and be increased accordingly. However, that is just opinion, not the rule, although the supplements do suggest similar, they a…[Read more]
