Casment weapons… basically they fire like fixed weapons so a 90deg arc

re the whole dry land or dead thing… 1 thing i’ve learned about house rules is they need to be concise and flow & also on this forum I try and make generic suggestions as I dont know your terrain :p

I mean the river could be all imparsable to infantry or the 2″ closesest to a bank could be difficult terrain etc etc

Well, hmmmm.  The problem is Action dress. The slung pelisse cave some protection against sword cuts as did the busby and Tschako.

So many Hussars came to the dance without but put them on directly before action.

But doing the classic  hussar work – scouting?   Riding for hours in heat and dust?

More Questions –

I know its been asked before, but not answered…. so here’s the question again.

When shooting at ships do Shin’yo rockets suffer -3 to hit or -4? 

‘normal’ rockets suffer -1 when shooting at land targets & -2 when shooting as naval targets, so with the wording of shin-yo’s suffering -3 instead of the normal -1 do they suffer…[Read more]

PM sent. 😉

Yes,  the original Light Dragoons had Hussar Dress in Peninsula. Before there was a slow Change from light draggon Dress in 1st and 2nd.    The 3rd Regiment was the first to appear completely in hussar fashion, as its colonel Johann Georg v. Reden procured fur to add to the pelisse, introduced the fur cap and allowed the wearing of…[Read more]

Presumably you are talking about Clash of Eagles; these companies are 3pdr guns with a range of just 24 inches which is worth 8 points, the close combat is 1 point, the morale 6 points and the stamina 4 points. The text also says that the shooting stats would be 2/2/1 rather than 3/2/1. This is also for 6 guns – a 2 gun section would be different.

To be honest, I’m going to pick up the supplement Close Quarters which has some cleanup of the rules for aircraft in it.

Your opponent might already now about it due to the radar rules.  It says at the start of the turn… so I read that as the plane activates before any activation die are pulled from the bag.

re flak – i read it as per…[Read more]

Another couple of options are….ps some shocking idesa here….

play some of the campaign scenarios/ randimise which mission you do play

Play lopsided battles – ie you have 1K + a king tiger, they have a normal 1K army.

Play tank war /armoured platoons

play larger point games where multiple units are activated under a single order die

play…[Read more]

It sounds like a bloody engagement!  Lovely looking forces again.

A great looking, and sounding game.  It sounds like it was a close game.  When we’ve tried that scenario the game seemed to swing either way several times as well.

Mm.  Spain. Sounds a bit hot.  I think I’d like to have my pelisse off and flowing in the breeze.  I say “off”.

In the Osprey ‘Wellington’s Light Cavalry’ all of the hussars have it “off”.

Yeah I read that as a statement of an idea not a ‘heres a scenario we’ve written’ as well…..

Strange, the thread says that the last post was post 15 minutes ago but not showing.

Knife or bayonet in scabbard, isn’t it ?

true…. how about something like this?

Grenade, range 3″, shots 1 Pen 0 special: assault, thrown weapon, grenade

thrown weapon rules – ignore cover mods, never gets the point blank bonus,

grenade weapon rules – has +1 PEN against infantry, if hit does D2 hits

dont want them to powerful as they are free on most models

Well,in that fun game the obvious weapon is missing at all – The hand grenade.

Even if not shooting you find no full cover in real world. trench, dug out, a room in a ruin….. all not very comfortable if someone lobs a grenade inside.

The writers sometimes forgot that. The Standard rifleman should be able to hit targets at short ranges even in…[Read more]
