supposedly a WL anoucement should happen on Wednesday – as they werent expecting the Osprey link to be put up this early…. so a few questions were asked at salute and got given the answer of wednesday… so fingres crossed.

my guess is that it was going to be June that it was announced, which would work for their (both WL and Ospreys) normal 3…[Read more]

Yeah, that Osprey site has been floating around.

I’m hoping 3rd ed is just 2nd ed with incorporated errata and small tweaks.

Bolt Action is a good rule set …no need to overhaul it

thanks, does make a lot more sense this way.

Question on Sectors:

Played this sectors last night and when counting points at the end came across an issue that hopefully you can resolve for me.

I had 2 squads at the end of the end of the game that had the majority of the models in the opponents sector (6 in 1 out for both units). The rules state that units only score if they are totally in…[Read more]

Thanks Jim, I’ve ordered a sprue. However, looking at pictures their jackets are the panzer crew double breasted type – not the simply single breasted, shortened, late 1944 jacket.

I’ll see how I get on.
