Superb idea.

Hi AJ, I’ve got my copy of the Epic rule book now and had a chance to go through it. While the summary reference sheet at the end of the Epic book is differently formatted to the the original QRS, and some different types of info are reflected, the actual factors, even down to move distances, are the same. This means the original QRS is just as u…[Read more]

The nine barrels of Fliegerfaust B produced a shotgun effect. At 500 m it was a 60 m circle.  So one can expect just one or two  its. And the expected 500 m range was never reached with the pre series front trial weapons.The circle  was reported as 10% of range, so 10 m at 100 m.

Around Saarbrücken a few of the front test series got used but sco…[Read more]

Hi AJ – I don’t think there is a separate QRS from Warlord yet.  I have not got my Epic P&S book yet either, to see if the regular P&S QRS has changed.  It has only just been released so might be a bit early for home brew versions 😀.

Hmm….

At best that would be a campaign book rule…and one that should be left in the books campaign….

Most likely a ‘historical makes sense’ house rule or a mixup of rules

Worst case – totally incorrect rules

Outside of a campaign book rule – yes the grenadiers’ would need a order die pulled from the bag to disembark

Its the typical rules wording over real world BA tournament  fuss. One reason why I avoid these like hell.

With the German army having no long Gewehr since 1935, but just a Karabiner / Carbine for all arms , that is just nuts. That a writer did name the K98 k by mistake a rifle is for some anal tournament rule lawyers heavenly given law. In WW 2…[Read more]

I read that as a clarification and historic usage (cavalary use carbines, we’re talking about cavalry so we’ll use the word carbines**).  But due to the way the book is written this can turn in to a circular argument*…. and so I’m going to agree to disagree  as the real issue is that Warlord do Frame work books not water tight rules… Yes I D…[Read more]

“My opponent stated that my mounted German HQ could NOT have rifle carbines, as the officer slot in the Armies of Germany only state that I can have the models having: “pistols, rifles, assaults rifles, or SMGs”, specially – that I could equip the models with rifles but not carbines ”

Wow, what a nonsense.  The Geman army standard rifle …[Read more]

@StuartHarrison …what is “considered as” if not “used as”? – its that they use the stats and rules… same thing as being used as.

@Neely – as said, where in the weapon rules do carbines exist?

In fact they are explicity the same entry!  If you look under weapons (again sorry cant give page number)

“Type: this is a generic description that…[Read more]

Well, you are both wrong to an extent as it goes like this:

1) Carbines as a seperate weapon dont exist in the rules…
2) Rifles are used as pistols while mounted (see below… dont have the page numbers as my PC rulebook is a printed to pdf ebook)
3) Cossacks have a special UNIT rule that allows them to use their rifles as rifles whilest…[Read more]

As  skymandr said….Its a case of after the initial boarding action then there are no inherant bonuses (ships equipment like Trained Marines will still apply) however you can attempt to pull away, but basically the boarding action continues until one of:
a) one ship falls below the threshold and surrenders
b) one ship disengages and sails…[Read more]

TBH its still down as ‘April’, so going off other releases it’ll be next friday or the friday after (21st or 28th) that (delivery permitting) you’ll get it

sorry not near my Hold Fast book atm

However – where are you getting 3 activations limit from?

Any, but go with Green as the main alternative colour (instead of the Yellow for RN for example)?

have you looked at the fall of berlin stuff?

think theres something in there about this

The issue(s) is simple

Warlord write rulebooks as framework not rulesets….they are the starting point for you and your club /gaming circle to start with – they are NOT written for pickup gaming between complete strangers :/  (yes a number of the authors have the mindset of once you’ve brought the book its your game change a you want)
The Bolt…[Read more]

Because (and this IS something I’ve said to the author should have been stated 🙁 ) the rules dont make it clear how they got the stats….

Its the type of gun (not all 5″ guns are the same… ie 5″/54 or 5″/38)
Type of mount
Type of range finding and gun control
Type & quality of ammunition

This is why two ships that had the same guns (like the…[Read more]

Campaign: Western Desert

The Rule is “Whenever a South African infantry or artillery unit receives hits from non-HE fire, place a pin marker as normal. If, however, no casualties are subsequently caused the pin is  automatically removed.”

RAW – Preparatory bombardment is not stated to be HE… however Prep bombard says it Artillery, Rockets or…[Read more]

Hi Marco – we have quite a lot of 15mm armies for the period left over from the days of DBM etc. These are all based on 40mm frontage elements.  For HC we tend to use three of these 40mm element bases to make up 1 HC standard sized unit.  Depth of unit to taste really.  With this system a large unit is 4 x 40mm bases wide, and a small unit 2 x 40…[Read more]

Here’s a point file with WLPA (Warlord Points Adjusted) which is where we’ve fixed some of the biggest outliers in either being under or Over costed and standardised the cost of vairous upgrades – this eleminates the issue of having the same statline but different costs depending on the ship name within a class.  Plus putting in fixes where the…[Read more]
