1 is an excellent question. I wouldn’t think so, if if one can it is very slowly.

SteveT started the topic Squares in the forum Black Powder 5 years, 6 months ago
Having trouble pinning rules about Squares. I am using BP v2 rules , not any extra stuff.
(1) Can a square move whilst remaining as a square? (I assumed not)
(2) On the reference sheet from the warlord site, it says they get 1 free move if command failed and notes “one move max”. Why does it specify “1 move max”, I thought free moves were always…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic Units on transport in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 6 months ago
I always say that the rule book is poorly written. Bolt Action is a nice regulation but poorly written.
I had written an email to Warlord for a confirmation on the roll to damage units on board following the destruction of the vehicle.
They tell me that the rule team has not spoken at the moment but has only said that in the next FAQ there will…[Read more]

There are some Special plastic glues. I use a German brand, a liquid one called Faller Super Expert. It sets much faster than average plastic glues, the Company also had that, just called expert. Both are very strong.
Some do plastic miniature glueing with super glues. Not my way but for those who want to try there is a trick. These Cyanac…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Shaken timing in the forum Black Powder 5 years, 6 months ago
Yep as George said….
You are shaken at the end of the activation where unit stamina is exceeded. (dont forget disordered if a 6 to hit was rolled)
After a break test you are either broken OR your casualty tokens are dropped to the stamina value

Nat replied to the topic Supporting Artillery auto-killed? in the forum Black Powder 5 years, 6 months ago
Taking the units involved as normal sized normal cav…
you’ve got 6 dice HTH from the Cav hitting on 3s with a 4+ moral save on the infantry – 2-3 casualties
Infantry hit back on 5s (disorderd) with a 4+ save on the Cav – 0-1 casualties
In combat resolution the infantry get +1… so do stand a chance of getting a draw.
However if the…[Read more]

You need some benefit for spending (Napoleonic suplements) 25 points per pip of Staff Rating….
plus dont forget that you need to spend a ‘move order’ to change formation and there’s no pre-measuring or stating I’ll move x”s forward its Y unit will go to Z location then change formation / hold ground /unlimber etc etc… so even with 3 moves…[Read more]

SteveT started the topic 3 moves more common than 2 in the forum Black Powder 5 years, 6 months ago
This is something I have already noticed as a newbie player.
“3 move orders” are going to occur more than “2 move orders”. This is simply based on the fact that 2 occurs only when you roll exactly 2 less than needed whereas 3 occurs on 3 under, 4 under, 5 under, 6 under…
This strikes me as very strange. Anyone else noticed this? I wonder if…[Read more]

Failing to form a square on our first attempt ever was very unlucky. But it’s going to happen, on average, once in every 36 attempts. After that the infantry were destined to get chopped up. And they were.

SteveT replied to the topic Supporting Artillery auto-killed? in the forum Black Powder 5 years, 6 months ago
They had failed to form a square (p.89 failed to form on a double 1). I was really asking if the artillery support was killed. Seems yes.
