@Stuart – fair…. shows how much I use it :p (to wit – I dont… normally forget which tank IS my command vehicle!)

@capt Scarlett – cant find it now 🙁  … wondering if it was a Warlord one now :/

They cant receive orders from platoon commaders, as they count as platoon commanders for issuing and receiving orders, but can from company officers. (pg 149 and 113)
As a comander they CAN give their +1 morale to infantry… (there’s nothing stating that they are limited to giving morale to vehicles so therefore the default rules of morale being…[Read more]

Eg my current Soviet platoon is
1 x T60
2 x BT7
1 x T34/85

None of these have the command vehicle option so I have to upgrade one of them to be the platoon commander for +10 points.

So this isnt very clear in the rulebook BUT was clarified on Facebook & in one of the articles …

For armoured pltns:
If you include a vehicle that has the command vehicle trait then they are automatically the platoon commander.
If you dont have a command vehicle in your list you MUST upgrade ONE to be a command vehicle even if it doesnt…[Read more]

Updated VMF file…

& updated wardroom errata which adds a few ships to existing nations…

Despite the name, this is a balance pickup game checksheet

You can choose which of the entries you dont want to use when organising your game /tournament.

2nd part of the points chart

posting here as it has ABDAflot as its own national roster for gaming.

*Hopefully* when the Armies of book is released in July (armies of GB) they’ll put the v2 errata back in that fixed this!

Basically it looks like they copy and pasted the original v2 entries when they wrote the v3 rulebook, and so reverted a number of units (including the Lancaster armoured car) back to the original incorrect entries!

I’d go with two in a single turret as theres nothing to tell us to add a second turret.

…. <dolt>… for some reason I had it that they were difficult terrain by RAW.. ooops!

So the reason is that RAW isnt clear… because its not stated exactly… because BA ISNT written as a water tight competitive system…so my take on the situation is this:

1) Yes – there is (as far as I can remember) no where that stats Towing a gun over rides the terrain that the tow vehicle can travers.

2) Yes – there is no restrictions as to…[Read more]

because turret jam exists…
you are already limited on what type of round you load when you go into ambush
you are limited to one ambush reaction
its a game of the hollywood film not the historical documentry

1) hmmm ambiguous but RAW would say that if within in 6″ its a surprise charge even if the move taking is 7-12″ as its “when the charge is declared”  I’d play it as the move personally… but one for an FAQ /errata

2) its 1″ away from the wall of the building AND 1″ away from the vehicle so there would need to be a 3″ gap for them to move…[Read more]

Thanks for all the replies.

Sounds to me like it’s becoming a bit more “gamey”. For me, 2nd captures very well the desperation of men being pinned under fire and the gradual gains being made here and there, with so many (even small) decisions having significant consequences. None of the online games I have watched for 3rd seem to capture that at…[Read more]

Thanks, It was the more ‘kill’ part that was bothering me. Does that detract from tactics or does it actually make people more realistically cautious ?

I’m in Fort Worth. We’re you at Millennium ConT?

Lend-Lease stuff is probably going to wait till next October with the armies of book 🙁

till then I’d use a British armoured pltn as a lend-lease armd pltn to add the Shermans & Churchills.  (British shermans can workout about 5pts more expensive than the US ones..)

(I’ve already got my local clubs agreement to do that with my lend-lease shermans)

WL have a very good customer service dept… best off emailing them even if you dont require the part so that they’re aware

also include the name on the packing slip (if you still have it) & where you got it from incase its a batch issue rather than just misfortune that you and your mate had the same thing missing.

As a side note I had a scout…[Read more]
