Would I be right on  assuming that the split stats page 83 ect. 12 pdr smoothbore , 3 ~2~1 means close range 3 dice to hit , medium 2 dice  and1 dice long-range – yes, that is correct

Skirmishers …are these impervious to being targeted ? No – they the shooter suffers a penalty of -1 for the target being in skirmish order

How do they compare to the older plastic set? I think that they are better. All of the SMLEs have their bayonets fixed – which is much more authentic.

Do the figures in this new box set look more beefier or slimmer than the original set: they are beefier, slightly but look and feel better for it in 6 basic poses then you added the arms / weapons,…[Read more]

Mine have arrived  – gorgeous.

There’s no precise scale Garry because of the simple fact that when Glory Hallelujah was conceived people often used different size units to what was recommended in Black Powder 1st Edition. My own preferred scale was 15mm for ACW and for Naps it’s 28mm – but I use 36 figure units, not 24. BP2 has done away with much of this with simply stating…[Read more]

Jim,

Sorry – but you said that “it was too late for that” – I took that to mean that you weren’t interested in pursuing it any more? I’m not employed by WG – only a couple of the supplement writers are – so it sometimes takes us a few days to catch up with the forum.

Regards,

Dave

Crops and trees often contain too much inherent moisture to burn. Crop fires are far rarer than house fires… I think.

Give it a long hot summer – dead or dry undergrowth then it all burns.

Hi there! I’m the chap wot wrote it… and yes, Garry has it spot on.

It’s really dependent on size of units and the brigade frontages. that was the problem from the start, with some folks having physically smaller units than others and now with the “epic” scale it’s even more fluid with potentially 100 figure regts. I hope that helps in some small way?

Shoot at them before they get in range?

Also, one obvious point – if it was only alight if they cause a hit on the occupants – what if no one is in the house?

We’ve always played mixed formation gets one die. It’s all a fudge anyway. French line 1/6 skirmish – so about 100 men in reality. In a British bttn it’s only 1/10, so about 60 men. The questions should be is the effect about right. I think the answer is “yes”.

Don’t forget as well that in AT2 they are in standard size units. In really they should probably all be small or tiny size units. Since BP2 tiny is limited to skirmish types so the tiny ones, if using BP2, should be brigaded together into small or standard units. The fact that they are so “small” is easy to remember. It’s the same word used to…[Read more]

All sorted chaps – but thanks. My Churchills will finally have the proper track links on them.

Thanks IO – that’s a huge help.

RUB: Really Useful Boxes.

The 4 Lt variety are the best. They’re tough and stackable.

Yes – that’s what I wondered – but is it the 1812 style or 1815? Or would the latter type bring back bad memories and bring on their night terrors? You know what these fellows are like.

“ps – for what its worth … look at waterloo – everyones heard of Sir Auther Wellesley”

Uhhh. It’s “Arthur”

It is as you all say “a game”. But – if you dare to look it up – I’d point you to the near comical circumstances surrounding the loss of the Hermenegildo and the Real Carlos, two first rate vessels… it really is Superb!

The awful fact is that The Royal Navy held the Spanish navy in utter contempt – this is not my view – it is the view of the RN…[Read more]
