Its UPS, just be lucky they still have the parcel at all.  Bumbling fools.

Yes the example given following my quotation spells it out. Yesterday, I refought Venta del Pozo and the French lost a third of their force when a squadron of Gendarmes broke, quickly followed by both supports! Three scores of 4 or less in a row!

Best regards

And I humbly and happily stand corrected, Garry. Thanks for pointing that out.

So, that means any unit that could lend support, wither it does or not has to make a break test should a that is in melee fail it’s break test. Yes.

I like these forums because we always have the opportunity to learn about the games we love. However on page 78 at the bottom of the first paragraph it reads ‘For purposes of this test, supporting units are considered to be such if they are theoretically  able to support regardless of whether they actually contribute a support bonus or…[Read more]

Yes it is added to the combat resolution. Hvy Cav +1 is approximately the equivalent of adding 3 close combat dice, so a big effect.

Sorry, Garry, I have to respectfully call you on the reply above where you say a unit “supports the combat or not” within a 6″ circle.

Units that do not support a unit within 6″ do not make a break test. Only units that support a unit that breaks make the test. The rules are on page 70 for supports and page 78 for support break tests in BP2ed.…[Read more]

and the units test whether they actually supported the combat or not, they just have to be within the 6inches.

Supporting units – pg 70, units within 6″ may support a unit in combat

pg 77 break tests – Supporting units test if the unit that they where supporting fails its break test.

Yes, it is a little silly. It buys into the legend of the Roman’s invincible military strength, propaganda put forth mostly by ancient Roman sources (!). They were good, but not that good. If they were as amazing as they advertised, it wouldn’t have taken them YEARS to conquer the Gallic and other provinces from a bunch of “barbarians”, and…[Read more]

well on one hand you have Romans in heavy armour with large shields and good all round stats…. on the other you have unarmoured tribesmen…..

So if you roll equal or lower than the current crit level then nothing happens.  So if you roll a 3 and the ship already has a 4, then its zero effect (except for the base damage).

Yes IJNs fan torpedo rule is VERY strong … its a single dice in place 6-12 AD, but its a straight 6 to hit no re-rolls or modifiers!

And yes flights hit on their…[Read more]

Torpedoes all have Devastating rule –

That means you dont try and beat the armour like normal damage – its always D6 – Torpedo belt number (if applicable).  Then IF you roll a 5 or 6 you get to roll again… if the second roll is a 4 or more then yes you’ve scored a critical.

As confirmed by the FAQ, whe you roll for what level of critical you…[Read more]

ah been reminded… (take out the spaces….)

Thank you Mike and Arcole

you can photo copy /cut out the page at the back of the rulebook that has the tokens on…

Personally I’m using an old Dystopian Wars 45deg movement tool – doesnt matter what you use so long as it limits the turn of the ship to 45.
As for the other tokens they are just reminders, so a small puff of smoke or something like the  BA or CS pin…[Read more]

could be done in several ways –
1 box of everything – 1 box to rule them all
1 box of each type – 1 for eqipment, 1 for doctrines etc
1 box of the cards found in one nations aircraft boxes – eg 1 box that has all the Russian squadron & Ace box cards
or 1 box of every card NOT found in a nations boxes – eg the Russian box has all the cards that…[Read more]

Its a trade off, you lose a small amount of recovery ability (remember you can only recover 2 flights a turn IF you use a scramble order & dont launch any flights) but gain the defensive ability of not being targetable except by enemy flights.

As per the WL FAQ, you dont give up any VP for being in Deep Deployment… so you opponent HAS to have…[Read more]

Thank you, Mike. I found that sentence in the rules after you mentioned it.

Here is another question. What if the winner in combat is also shaken? I read nothing that it has to make a break test. Only the loser.
