Nice idea.

I’ve just started working on my backlog and I get some Stuka, Sturmovik and La-5 that may fir the theme.

On the side note, all my externally hosted pics disappeared from the forum (newly posted or previous). Any idea why and how to solve it?

I know they did this for lords of Erehwon….

Also, how about using 2 or even 3 platoons? Even with a 100o points you can make some interesting armies, with 2 smaller tanks or 3 snipers  or whatever you like.

I know what you mean, but there are several reasons why figures are sculpted this way:

(1) easier to sculpt  (but advances in the digital process  should really have kicked more though…)

(2) figures are more robust. They are game pieces.

(3) not all humans are lithe Olympic runners. You could just as well ask where are the o…[Read more]

Watching a Paul Stallard run through…. and As he’s saying you can do your firing at the end of any movement 1/3 (when you turn) ….

so id say ignore everything it says about rams and collisions and play that aspect as normal.   Ie if the MTBs is in the first movement a collision occurs, if not then you have to do normal ram tests

Look at the new Stalingrad book…there are 8 German selectors most have the types you are talking about.

It looks like WL are going more towards the gaming than the modelling side of the hobby.  Where you want to be able to see what something is from across a 4′ table with terrrain on.

Tank crews are additions to a vehicle so not important, where as seeing a model (and what its eqipped with) easily is for game play…. As more of a gamer than a…[Read more]

true… but its more that they have a release date of ‘late april /early may’ on the kits..

Its sounding like there is a delay in release until June time, due to the whole Covid19 thing……be nice to have an offical comment one way or another even if its just a note on the webstore saying ‘Victory at Sea release is delayed due to Covid19 we will update with a new release date when we can’

Its as clear as mud!

Do you drop the DC at any point in your movement or only at the end (ie when you would normally do your shooting)  ?

– With the talk of highly likely Ramming, it sounds like you should only be able to drop them at the end.

Can you do this in addition to your shooting?

– nothing saying otherwise

Is it a Ram (ie…[Read more]

Nicely done 👍

The benefit being that the Howitzer hit is -2 to the morale save of the target regardless of range. Your suggestion is an interesting one but the morale save effect is based on the fire of a whole battery of howitzers. So I am not sure I would use it. Looking at the statistics the benefit of the howitzer is within the D6 variability, which is…[Read more]

Before the Battle for France book the war reporting team had these rules:

Simpler to use.

Seems the rule is not mich used????

I got questions about the gun in background. It’s a 21 cm Mörser 18, the main heavy gun of Wehrmacht. More than 700 made and in front use.

.

The metal model is from a German maker.  Some 30+ years old and very rare today.  It was long on my wishing list. The maker only delivered it assembled and so th…[Read more]

Atached is a screenshot of the rules for the unit, on page 96 of the Battle of France book.

I don’t know why but I can’t see my previous pictures anymore.

Trying to post some new one.

I think while the firer’s line of sight might see 2 sides of the target, the firer’s gun barrel will only enter one arc of the target, unless the firer is so (un)lucky that the gun barrel lies exactly on the line that divides the front and side (or side and rear) arcs of the target. In which case I would use the “better” armour class … otherwise…[Read more]

Hmm but what if the arc covers 2 sides?

Cheers

you hit the side you are in the arc of even if you cant see that side … see the rule book for concealment of vehicles where it talks about not being able to see the front of a tank but work out the shot V the front
