P131, Vehicles, introduction, second para, last two sentences – “Before looking at the role of vehicles in depth, we will…

Okay, thanks Stuart. Yep, “In all other respects the rules for vehicles and infantry are the same.” But in my book, this is on page 130  😉

Overall, that helps keep things simple and easy, and even though tanks don’t…[Read more]

If the vehicle rules don’t specify that something is…[Read more]

This might seem simple to answer, but please keep reading.

I only ask because 1) we have “Shooting at Vehicles” rules (p.137)* but no “Shooting at Infantry” rules, and 2) under “Roll to Hit” (p.83) the point-blank heading says “Also know…[Read more]

The pen modifiers from the vehicle rules (p138-139) only apply to heavy weapons firing against armoured targets.

Roll to Damage vs Armoured Targets, second para introduces them with “When shooting against armoured vehicles with a heavy weapon, …” and the third para reinforces that with “Remember, the additional modifiers below do not apply…[Read more]

But units in ambush (in bolt action) can use FLAG also. If i remember correct.

So it seems a bit “unclear” how it is handled in K47.

There are not…[Read more]

Thanks for the response and the info on where rules are.  It’d be nice if rulebooks could contain all the info in one place….

Those may be the rules.  They make no sense to me.  I get that Warlord Games wants to sell lotsa the new Allied jump mechs and Fireflies, but coming from Reserve and being able to basically land anywhere on…[Read more]

Hi again you said you introduced your own simple rules what are they?

Our smoke rules are nothing fancy, but we did a bit of research to make sure certain vehicles or units could produce smoke. Surprisingly, a lot of tanks can produce some sort of smoke for cover. Even if it was some sort of smoke canister installed on the back of the tank.…[Read more]

I have 1500 pts of Commonwealth and 2 lists to try.
Any takers?

I’m looking at some ideas at this moment but my many problems are the range of a hand thrown grenade and what effect they would have. In any assault none as you can see in or out of smoke to haze a range that would stop any enemy closing fire would have to be so long it would m…[Read more]

Unless there is something new in the errata we have missed, we have always played that the unit must be in play for their Sabotage special rule to influence the enemy. This of course mak…[Read more]

If they are off table as reserves but included in a German force?

On page 157 it mentions under Flamethrowers against buildings – Any and all surviving infantry units inside a burning building will immediately abandon it, from it’s ground floor openings, in the same way as units disembarking from a vehicle that has been immobilised – (see pages 140 & 141)

What is the book referring to? I can’t see anything…[Read more]

We’ve played a few games now using this little gem, and for games where both players create a point-based force of 1,000 to 1,500 points, it works surprisingly well. It really does take care of things like that silly ‘Going Down’ dice game, and of cou…[Read more]

When uyou use a passive ability does it exhaust the rift die?

For instance my Schreckwulfen have a surging bonus of Increase Damage Value to 8+

Does this mean that as long as they have a surging rift die this is in…[Read more]

The solution would be to have Cover Saves in Direct HE and maybe even in Indirect HE. IMHO, the cover save should be higher than hard cover, maybe a +3 (to simulate the extra protection rule).

What do you guys think?

If you ask me, and you did (insert wink here), I think the EXTRA PROTECTION rule from Second Edition (see page 124) is the most…[Read more]

What do you guys think?

After many games now, I really miss the extra protection rule. Buildings are now even worse than ruins, and especially if you are fired with a HE round

I too miss the extra protection rule for the same reasons. However, because of a simple oversight or maybe because the shooting mechanic was changed (roll to hit, roll to damage, and now roll to…[Read more]

I have some questions about autocannons, such as those in the Wirbelwind.

Can they choose whether to use HE or AP (PEN) rounds?

If fire against infantry, it must be HE, right?

What about against vehicles?

What about against infantry inside a building? How do we resolve the whole shooting process? Could somebody provide me with…[Read more]

Is there any possibility of reimplementing this rule in the v3 rulebook in a future errata or a future 3.5v???

If a WW2 tank shot against a truck (soft-skin), it would have used HE and never an AP round because it could go through without even destroying the truck.

On page 97 in the manual, it says that if an AT gun fires against vehicles, including soft-skin, it can choose which one, HE or AP to use. But in the game, it would be a…[Read more]
