Activity

Yes  is would be option B….. if you rolled 4,1,1, then it could be B or A (depending on how you read the massive damage paragraph!).   If you rolled a 1 for the pen hit & then a 4 +1  it would be forced disembarked with 2 PINs

Hi Bill,

As the tailed plan is made disadvantaged (and not just counted as being disadvantaged) at the end of the attackers movement step, they then get to make their ‘defensive tactics’ move.  When the next step of the activation comes round (the pilot action) the defender is still  disadvantaged….the benifet of the card its to make the shot a…[Read more]

Nat gave the right answer. The problem came from the original organisation.

A Prussian Brigade had a Line Regiment of 3 Battalions (2 Musketeer / 1 Fusilier),  a Reserve regiment of 3 Battalions and a Landwehrregiment of 3 – 4 Battalions.

Regimental CO was a Lt. Colonel but often a Major was doing the job.

Brigade CO was a…[Read more]

In CT and new to the game but very willing to play and learn. Feel free to reach out if you are still interested in playing.

I have another newbie question regarding the “Defensive Tactics” card.  Example:  If a “neutral“ target plane is tailed (putting it into a disadvantaged status) plays the Defensive Tactics card, is it still considered disadvantaged if the 45 or 90 degree turn changes the aspect from tailing to a deflection shot?   There’s a couple of different op…[Read more]

So to boil it down a little, if one infantry unit fires two fausts at a transport and scores 1 damage roll and one massive damage roll, then rolls 1,1,4; do they inflict:

A) 1 pin for hitting and destroy the transport, forcing the transported unit to dismount with 1 pin; or

B) 1 pin fit hitting, 2 extra for 2 x crew stunned and destroy the…[Read more]

Many thanks for the reply

Very helpful

It just really confused me that where most armies have the Divisional commander in the list to use as the general/ CIC, the prussians dont have anything, just their brigade commanders

Thanks

Alex

And I have leanings towards a certain faction… “Get down, Shep!”

And a Horse regiment

Many thanks CtG! Answers to just what I needed and very much appreciated! Still slowly working through the mechanics and there will be other questions to raise and ponder shortly. No games played as yet.

I can share (hopefully, as I’m not a technowhizz) some photos of some of my units in the meantime (nb, I’m no photographer either…)

Two questions:

1) High Cover: Can the high cover markes only move along the table edge they started at, or can the also move along the sidelines via the table’s corners?

2) Do Dodge Tests count as Manoeuvre Tests, i.e. can I use Actions Cards on Dodge Tests that have “Manoeuvre Test” in their wording?

🤦‍♂️😅 Another badly written part of the rulebook… No Pen value to roll to damage…

at first reading the regulation seems simple, but then you go into detail and the rulebook is written very badly, many things are unclear or clearly written wrong, and then the FAQs say otherwise

“But I have always thought all hits from a single firing unit on a single target will score only 1 pin regardless of number of hits from different weapons of the unit, or did I understand wrongly?”

The hits cause a single pin (or batch of pins) same as any other shooting situation, but the first three results on the damage results table each…[Read more]

no you havent got wrong… its 1 pin per firing unit…. unless the firing unit has HE or a flamethrower in which case those pins will take precidence.

ie 5 rifles will be 1 pin

5 rifles and a rifle grenade will be D2 pins

5 rifles and a flamethrower will be D6+1 pins

Haha I think you can still roll 2 dice and apply both results … one after the other, unless of course the first one destroys the vehicle. I do Stuart’s point about applying all damage dice simultaneously instead of sequentially. But I have always thought all hits from a single firing unit on a single target will score only 1 pin regardless of…[Read more]

picture attached… cant quote page number as I’m looking at an ebook version… but it says roll once, apply then roll again (unless the vehicle is destroyed by the first result, of course)

Ok the same paragraph then goes on to look like its contradicting its self by saying roll two dice and apply both results…….can we get some proof readers…[Read more]

Massive damage literally says you roll 2 dice and apply both.  Nothing is suggested about only applying the first if one of those results is ‘knocked out’.

Remember the ‘Shooting at Vehicles’ section isn’t a replacement to the normal shooting rules, it only mentions where the normal sequence varies for vehicles (ie: no mention of declaring…[Read more]
