Possibly the largest wargame ever played was Waterloo last year at Glasgow University. Little Wars did a nice video about it. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTlDWIYPDlg

They used a modified version of BP to run their game which I think sassy a lot about its suitability for such a big game.  I think in essence, the speed things up, they left out…[Read more]

This happened recently. A transport with a squad in was hit and destroyed by both a panzerfaust and flamethrower coming from same unit. Questions: Does the hit unit for wounds (after d6) get hit by the penetration of the weapons or just their morale level? Would the unit if technically hit by flamer also need a flamer  morale…

“I agree with Warlord answer, because spotter can’t fire or assault, excalty like a medic and a chaplain. ”

Steeljackal – the gap in your “exactly” claim is that medics and chaplains ARE non-combatants under the laws of armed conflict, a spotter is not.

The first two aren’t allowed to fire or assault based on thei…

By this point in the war the Free French where entirely equipped by the US

however 1st Army (France) – Wikipedia as a whole…but if you focus on 2nd Armored Division (France) – Wikipedia

Also if you look at Campaign : Battle of the Bulge it has a Free French Europe platoon.

One of the Wardroom members posted this up, so I thought I’d share it here as well.

This one way of doing approximately balance points lists from the two player set. No refits are taken on any ship.

Steeljacket, it’s normal to have ground and weapon scales that are different from minatures scale. BA is strange anyway in having a 1 miniature =  1 soldier and in normal sized units ratio   but guns are normally used as  singles, not batteries.

The ground scale, gi…[Read more]

Sorry I don’t understand. But how do you consider scales other than +/- 1:56?
How do you represent 1.2km on a 6feet table if the miniatures and scenery remain 1:56 scale? It gets all out of scale, how do you make roads, buildings and units that fit 1.2km into just 6feet table (which by the scale of the miniatures is only 100m)?
If in reality in…[Read more]

Been using these and similar since 1992.
