Thanks for the answer but would that combat be fought that turn or the next ? I know the main unit involved in the sweeping advance would fight it that turn , but would the supports also ?

I think we will keep the rolling for disorder at the start of the sweeping advance , there must be a high chance that disorder would creep in after a…[Read more]

Penetration, the weapon stat, applies vs all targets as you stated – P61, second sentence of the definition. What doesn’t apply except when heavy weapons hit armoured targets is the pen modifiers (side, rear, top, long range) from p106-7, Vehicles, Shooting At Vehicles, Damage vs Armoured Targets.

In our recent Konflikt 47 league, I used Panzerschreck teams to blow up Russian Ursus infantry and an American player used Bazookas on some of my Nacht Alben.  Penetration makes it easier to kill everything….

Yes, bazooka and Panzer can shoot at infantry. Unless you rule a one to wound, which is always  unsuccessful, that soldier will be dead if it was one of these weapons in the game. Real life, infantry soldier would’ve been blowing apart, and his friends will be looking for his dog tags in the goo.

What about a bazooka or a panzerfaust (hollow charges)? Can they shooting against infantry? How would it work?

Of course, penetration counts for all targets. This makes up for the difference between being hit by a pistol round, and a bazooka round.

They would count as charging because of the Sweeping Advance . As you have said, a unit cannot engage an enemy unless it has charged, but when contact is made, you split the combat up into smaller ones. A supporting unit counts as engaged, so will count as charging.

Yes sorry, i am not on face book nor am i likely to be , I don’t want to be part of the social media thing

mark

so is that a yes ? it is a sweeping advance an the melee would be fought next turn but with no charge bonus ??

Eric Fontaine, long time no see! Hope all is well!

I would say that the support would count as a victorious not. It may not have fought directly, but it still fought in that last combat.

As to the second question, I answered a similar question on the Facebook group, or rather, I reminded the players of the disorder test for the sweeping advance, when it was pointed out to me that it was not in…[Read more]

Hi Tomasz,  I think for ECW or TYW dragoons the rules expect them to stay as skirmishers whether mounted or dismounted.  See the description on p 83 of the main rule book or p114 of the Epic P&S rule book.   The information on changing formation (main rule book p28) certainly suggests some units can move from battle line to skirmish and back ag…[Read more]
