Lovely sight.  Superbly setted,

Carriers go with scouting points…. however important notes are:
flights types & roles are decided when you write the list – in the FAQ
all carriers start with 2 flights on the table no matter what (CAP) – in the rulebook

You shouldnt have more than an escort carrier (5-8 flights) if you dont have a way of getting AT LEAST 7 scouting points……[Read more]

Yes, see the moving artillery by horse section of the rules. Personally I don’t allow units to fire if they have moved more than once, a rule introduced in the Last Argument of Kings and Clash of Eagles supplements.

No, there is nothing in the rules that prevent you changing formation within proximity distance. The main point of the rule is to stop units being shuffled sideways in the presence of the enemy. In formation changes the unit stays in place and moves neither forward nor backwards, so it is very similar to turning to face. On p.33 of BP2 under…[Read more]

short answer  – Nope

Long Answer –  Snap to basically gives you the chance of 2+ orders in succession without the chance of your opponent getting ‘a pull’ in between and therefore messing up your plans.  The rules actually tell you to take the order check for the officer to make sure he gets it then (paraphrase) allocate out the other order bu…[Read more]

Hi Peter,

On the preparatory bombardment; we have used some pre-game random roles to potentially add some stamina losses to units considered to have been under a preparatory bombardment.  e.g. roll a D6 for each unit, on a roll of 5 or 6 then lose 1 stamina.

On BUAs. These are difficult to take in BP, as I think they should be.  We have found t…[Read more]

Well outside of a siege prepapatory bombardments wouldnt really be more than a free round of shooting from the artillery (if in range)…. if your using the skipping shells rules from Clash of Eagles (& I think Albion 2) then I could see a use for it.

FIBUA, this is always hard to get right with abstract rules…by that I mean the risk /reward…[Read more]

Thank’s, I didnt found it before, I search light mortar and didnt found.

Thank you! This is a good idea

Mmm so there isn’t a light mortar team alone or in a support set, but I have to buy 40 euros afrika corp set… Mmm I already self made an antitank rifle, sturm pistole and grb-39 grenade launcher models, so now  I try to make a light mortar team😅

Albion 1 +2 (+ clash of Eagles) are V1 rulebooks….and written in a gentelmans framework not a tight ruleset like modern games.

However a Break through move is used to describe what a sweeping advance is… (In an ideal world / tight ruleset the rule would say must make a Sweeping Advance and move maxamuim distance even it it takes them off the…[Read more]

Assaulting any building has to be done through entrances … so windows, doors

If trought entrances, then you can’t assault reaching a window, beacuse you can enter in a bunker only reaching a door.

Rules are not clear on this. You can assault reaching an opening (opening that you can use to enter or not) or only reaching an opening you can e…[Read more]

thats going to cause problems….. same aircraft with 2 different offical stat cards from different current sources 🙁

Sorry but the BoM zero should have got the the same as with the card pack and the ‘no stalling’ a ‘named’ equipment upgrade.

HE v Buildings… yep they ignore the -2 cover for being in a building (because they are hitting the building)… so following on yep 2″ v bunker = pins only

Yep the rules dont say anything (that I can see on a quick flick through) about not applying PINs or limiting them

The M2 profile was introduce in the Imperial card set.

Nice to read as usual.

As the newsletter just provide more details about the content I just noticed that the Zero are M2 while the one available since BoB release are M5.

Models are obviously different sculpts as the new are made of Warlord Resin but I don’t know if there’s much visual difference (as far as I know the main upgrades were engine and guns).
