look for S gauge /s-scale model railway bicyle STL /models….

Cavalry – (FAQ allows you to upgrade the officer to have a horse if you have a couple of squads on horses)
motorbikes –

bicycles – this isnt clear if they need a transport… but most people will allow it!

1) yep, all vehicle mounted MGs need looking at… espically the quad maxim!
2) not sure on this as they’re not really used that much any way…. are they?
3) removes about the only reason to take an inexperiance one :p
4)agree
5)agree
6)give models in a squad a 4+ bounce? (ie on a 4+ you get to ignore the exceptional and pick as normal) along…[Read more]

Senior Officers – If you could take them instead of a junior officer as opposed to in addition you’d see more of them… as it is they are surpless to requirements in most games
AT Grenades – The ‘issue’ is the hitting of tanks… I’ve used them a fair bit… more against open topped vehicles though… so prehaps the lowering of points (down to 1…[Read more]

RE: light AT & Light howitzers – instead of making them better you decrease the avaliblity of the heavier tanks…and /or split the war into early mid & late so their cost makes them more attractive.

Alter HE to a flat +1 PEN v Infantry except if under the centre of the template

RE AA:  again I’d look at either RoF or making airstrikes more of…[Read more]

The ‘new’ waterloo suplement is geared for the EPIC system they have released as opposed to the tired old BP v1 Ablion Triumphant book 2

However I too would like a new BP supplement focused on Austerlitz etc…. but ( I blame the lack of clarity and bredth in British school history lessons)  UK companies all seem obsessed with 2 or 3 battles…[Read more]

The steel cases got used in WW I and in 1918 the problems in rifles had been no more existing in larger scale. The trick was a reduction of the charg and a special “legierung” – It was not to be used im MG. It was possible to do a special MG Version but it was prefered to reserve brass cases for them.

Being an old German military historian I was…[Read more]

Yes, perhaps an additional explanation box in the ‘clear shot’ section would help.  Your example is not overly obscure so it would be good to call it out.

To be honest, I’m not sure we are always consistent on how we deal with this situation game to game, but as long as both sides are happy on the day, and it seems reasonable, then it all comes…[Read more]

Hi East,

I think this situation needs to be considered ‘a gap’ and so top of p48 needs to be applied (also last of the ‘not clear’ explanation boxes).  The key bit for me is that the unit is trying to shoot through less than its own frontage.

Our club tends to drop the number of shooting dice in this situation, with such a significant ‘masking…[Read more]

Hi Bolebg – I think you perhaps meant to post this in the Bolt Action forum?

I would give the Warlord team a direct email or call and I’m sure they’ll be able to help with something like this.

Take a look at the contact page here: https://store.warlordgames.com/pages/contact

Hi East,

I don’t agree with your point 5.  The shooter’s frontage is obscured, so the whole unit can not see part of blue. In this case, I would restrict the number of the red unit’s shooting dice, and may be add a -1 not clear factor.

Hi Jeff.

Isn’t there a saying “When a person is tired of Waterloo, they are tired of life!”? 😉  Well, may be not, but not only are a lot of people not bored of Waterloo, there are a whole lot of people with shiny new collections of Hundred Days Warlord Epic armies, who are no doubt looking for game ideas.  The new Hundred Days supplement is quit…[Read more]

Core rulebook – pg 35
“Sailing in Lines”

basically they are all bow to wave marker & activate when the slowest /last ship would with the ship at the head of the line going first… if they dont end the turn touching the wave marker then they arent in line next turn so activate normally.

With a medium howitzer… not that I can think of…. closest I can think of is

SU76i – soviet book pg 51, DV 8+, light howitzer / med AT

<h3>Ostfront: Barbarossa to Berlin, page 91</h3>
In terms of Bolt Action, a strict application of the rules for force selection does not normally allow you to field tanks and guns from other forces – however, you can use captured vehicles and equipment as long as you pay the right points for them and they are taken simply to replace an equi…[Read more]

Russian regiments arent any bigger, they just have a higher stamina to represent the hardyness and stoic nature of the Russian peasantry

And there (germanys lack of hardward, US excesses of hardware) you have the difference between pickup game & simulation :p

Limited number of equipment is NO reason not to put it in the list (how many vehicles already in the game were limited… a lot :p)…. and as for flamethrowers, I’d put one in – if someone invaded Sweden they’d pretty soon…[Read more]

<argh… forum ate my reply>

So short version – SA80, I’m going off the armourers and not reports!… The Bren, that is just what Ive read, so if its wrong fair enough…

Ranges of engagement are only part of what generates the rules,  in v1 LMGs had 6″ less range and 1 less shot but got buffed to V2 because they werent being used… so at 6″…[Read more]

As Nat stated there should be no longer Swedish rifle range.   That it is 19th century is the reason for the range, in that time technical doctrine in all countries asked for amo able to break a cavalry charge starting fire at long range.

Svedish cavalry still trained in mid of war the mounted charge, strange because most had dropped the s…[Read more]

@generaljimbo81 – I’d have said thats covered by the TLs having extra slots
