I’ll see how I get on.

In GH p54 light wood assumed a spread of small trees younger trees with some undergrowth. Not a managed orchard and not the hundreds of years old Wilderness.

As for speed they are treated as in rough ground. In BP1 p36 this means that they can enter the light wood but move at 1/2 speed.

• Late war German infantry
• no smocks
• no greatcoats
• sleeves rolled down

It’s uber late war: April – May 1945.

Apologies if this contravenes Warlord rules

So try this.

1. A unit of arty fires in its fire phase (shot 1)
2. In the enemy initiative phase a light cav unit charges across the front of the same arty and so catches some traversing fire (shot 2)
3. Then, in the enemy order phase an infantry unit charges the guns and catches closing…

Many Thanks

Has anyone considered just grouping the guns into “very light, light, medium, heavy, very heavy”, or similar and then making the range…[Read more]

1. The box front says 20 plastic and metal figures
2. The product description says 24 figures

Does anyone have a clue which is correct?

1. both players commit suitable vessels to scouting – this gives a scouting force and you roll d6 per vessel / flight.
2. on a score of 5 or 6 you get a scouting point. All ok so far.
3. then consult the scouting table to see what effect that level of scouting has.

As this reads it is independent of the enemy’s scouting effort -…[Read more]

so where is the section on smoke?

It’s always struck me as odd that you advance against a prepared foe and you have the drop on him in the firefight. So as you plodded across the field to get within range what on earth was he doing?

The point is that often a brigade would put an entire regiment up front in skirmish order. This way – if you use the mixed order as well of line plus skirmishers – you could really swamp someone with skirmish shooting, perhaps someone who was reluctant to (or couldn’t) use it – such as defending a fort, buildings, line of cover…[Read more]

Cavalry dismount as skirmishers because that’s what they did. I’ve never read pf them being formed in ranks and files when fighting on foot.

1) keep it simple

2) if units drop by one size when dismounted then it means that for a small unit 1/2 hold horses when it would become a tiny unit – obviously…[Read more]

1) As per the normal rules troops in buildings would not count as formed. I take this t be because in a cluster of buildings the attacker would be able to tell precisely which buildings were occupied and which ones were not. So we play that just like normal.

2) Yes – that was the intention. The modifiers…[Read more]

Does anyone make Mamelukes that might fit with Warlord figures?

…and while I’m here don’t forget that most cuirassier regts at Waterloo are small units!

I presume that there is nothing to stop me using 20 mm diameter discs?

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

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]

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.

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

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?

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?

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

Uhhh. It’s “Arthur”
