Ah thanks, I knew I had seen it but couldn’t mind where.

its a trait card, I think its called interlocking fire

Hi we have a large amount of players who play brs at our club.

The Greenock & District wargames club

It does seem like the best way to capture intent over game mechanics. I think we have agreed that we will state intent for the brigade and then the players will agree what that move consists of, e.g. two moves at full speed and change of formation.  We’ll see how difficult its becomes to get consensus when the battle becomes intense.

I think the…[Read more]

Its just a D6 to pick which scenario to play

However you’d need the scenario as well as they include the table setup and deployments.

If you have the original BoB box then you can just use the scenario table in that… I think that the Airstrike book may have a version as well – but in work so cant check for you.

Hi Steven.  We try to stick with option 3 – based on what would seem reasonable for an order to group of battalions, for example.  2 just feels ‘gamey’ i.e. how would you give that order?  1 is at risk of players being a bit cheesey.  It is a bit imprecise I suppose, and the group needs to agree how they want to work it to avoid argument and kee…[Read more]

The extra selection provision under selectors is purely…[Read more]

Howdy Donald Linn!  I’ve noticed some of the folks I game with are hyper-aggressive, which is easy to do since minis don’t bleed.  I’ll try to field “assault” squads that are mostly armed with SMGs and STGs.  Then I’ll have a “support” squad, armed with 2 LMGs and rifles, that’ll stand-off in good cover and provide long-range fire….

Jermaine, I hear what you are saying. However, what if a player gets an exceptional damage roll with normal fire from a unit like an infantry squad? The player gets all excited about his very lucky roll, but only to have his lucky roll nullified by, “a loader to become a firer”. Of course, they are going to think, “what’s the point?” Also, as…[Read more]
