So… are you playing Core Rules or Clash of Eagles Expanded rules?  Or the revised Waterloo epic (which is somewhere in the middle… but I dont have a copy so cant comment further on that)

Now irrespective of that…

If charged in the front when your flanks arent secured by either a unit in square, building or table edge if your unit has…[Read more]

So it seems it is finally happening… September.

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]

Hmm. So, I went to my copy of BP 1ed. That came out before GH. Again, artillery is not allowed to enter woods or rough ground. except along a road.  How then would artillery enter light woods and at what speed?

I checked manhandling artillery thinking that it might give terrain exceptons. No, they still have to follow the same rules.

Thank you Dr. Dave.

My take – [HOWEVER dont forget that this is why campaign units should only be used in campaign scenarios… apart from that see how your opponent wants it played BEFORE you start playing the game.]

So, recrew the gun – you remove models from the unit and use them to resurrect the casualties from the gun crew…

So you have now lost the officer…[Read more]

The weapons chart at the back of the rule book lists HMG under Heavy Weapons, and not Small Arms.

As far as I understand, a HMG at its long range is a penetration 0 weapon vs the front of armoured targets and would not qualify for pins.

Is it a heavy weapon – yes
Does the base Pen change – NO! (The only thing that I’m aware of in the whole game that changes a base pen value is a german MG rule in one of the DDay selectors)
Does the weapon have additional modifiers that apply to the Damage calculation- yes

It even says – Regardless of if the hit can damage it!

So the HMG is…[Read more]

Given that only one unit can contact the front of a charged unit, giving a brigade an order to charge that defending unit automatically results in one unit charging into contact and the others supporting. Consequently this must be OK under the brigade order rules. So I agree exactly the same  thing is untenable. I guess that option 1 is the best…[Read more]

WL *may do*, we just dont know until they either show them on an open day (Aug/Sept sort of time) or they appear in the news letter.  However a number of people use AIM (aircraft in miniture, or any other 1:200 scale)

Discord – the unofficial WL server:

<remove spaces for it to work>

the BRS channel isnt that active

Theres a number of extra aircraft in Wing Commander! book also if you head over the the Ready Room Facebook group… a couple of the beta testers hang out there (as does the author!) so if theres not already any stats they can gen up some semi-offical ones for you (they are the same guys who did the aircraft charts in Wing Commander.)

its a trait card, I think its called interlocking fire

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]

We usually play that you can’t target enemy troops with shooting unless next to the hedge, but that you can declare charges without needing to be next to them.

Hi Mark. Yes, I believe the ‘Bad War’ rule was meant to be used. I think that in the Covenanter’s list the rule is referred to as Bad War there.

pg 55, if you conduct traversing fire you cant then conduct closing fire (points 2 & 3)

So yes its once per player turn (or twice per round / game turn)

All the national, unit and theater rules in campaign books have ALWAYS been TO/Opponents permission only… people just dont play it that way.

Tiger Fear is still a mess and should be binned… personally I’d change it to a reserve rolls modifier for western allies vehicles only

Tank riders – TBH its a free rule, and gamers are finding…[Read more]

It goes against the written rule to allow Banzai to assault…. irrespective of the WHY, the rule is clear, NO assaults from a transport.  There has to be an EXPLICT rule saying this rule allows these models to assault from a transport to  over ride the rulebook and allow it….

Section – Dismounting from a transport (sorry only have a ebook to p…[Read more]
