invisible officer replied to the topic KETTENKRAD oddity in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 8 months ago
It was used as an artillery tow. But not a single one. Each 10,5 cm Gebirgshaubitze for example was transported with 5 Kettenkräder. Amo was in trailers.
The Kettenkrad was used in batteries of Fallschirm- and Gebirgs divisions. They often had it in AT natteries too.
It was not used as AT tow in normal divisions. It was the vehic…[Read more]

From Germany forces book: “It could carry three men (one driver and two passengers)” and “Transport: Up to 3 men.”
If it can transport 3 men, shouldn’t that be 1 driver and 3 passengers?
If its 3 in total, then what happens if my 3-man squad leaps off it, leaving behind a Inexperienced, Regular, or Veteran transport – but in that case what d…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Pursuit (Sweeping Advance) Questions in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 8 months ago
The one thing that concerns me about the close combat in Black Powder, is the follow up a retiring enemy. I would prefer close combat to be short and therefore would prefer follow ups to be restricted to Sweeping Advance/Charge. Otherwise I think BP works well, especially if we remember that cavalry always retire from drawn combats.

Hello,
I recently looked at another set of wargame rules that I’m comparing to Black Powder. What drew me to it was that it really creates the ambiguity of initiative in war that turn/phase based games don’t really capture. However, one of it’s drawbacks to me is its “pursuit” rules.
The game designer, a very nice man who always answers…[Read more]

The Dug-in rules should be as follows:
Dug In gives you the benefits of being Down (-2 to be hit, halves HE hits), and if you issue a Down order, you double the benefits (-4 to be hit, quarters HE). -

“Summer Storm” is a more accurate scenario book than both of Black Powders for Gettysburg, etc.

I was just looking at the Warlord Games/Geek Villain Gettysburg battle mat for Warlord Games 15mm Epic ACW line as well as Cigar Box Battles (CCBs) Gettysburg first days battle mat.
They are all the wrong size and scale for the Warlord Games Epic ACW miniatures.
Even the buildings in Warlords Gettysburg Scenery pack are all too large for either…[Read more]

Have you tried the UPS tracking option? You should have got the code with sending confirmation. Warlord have just the same you have there, so no answer may be because they could just answer: No idea.

Guess 1: you probably got sent an email from them which you need to click to confirm (email might be in your junk box)
Guess 2; the website doesn’t like your browser and/or device. Try another one perhaps.

Garry Wills replied to the topic Units in square and Morale Saves in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 8 months ago
Yes exactly, the editing of BPII leaves a lot to be desired at times. It is not entirely inconsistent as the Morale Saves and Break tests work in tandem to represent morale. But with regard to your original question there has never been any discussion of having an additional morale save factor for squares. The break test rule for squares is a big…[Read more]

Base rims…either do a colour band for squads or do something on the bases themselves
British army doesn’t really do squad markings ….or even company / battalion for infantry (tanks do though)

Garry Wills replied to the topic Units in square and Morale Saves in the forum Black Powder 4 years, 8 months ago
It is not an error, just in the wrong place. The advantage for squares comes in the Break test, in which they treat all Retire results as Hold your ground. see page 89.
As far as I know there is not FAQ for BPII.
