Thank you, Invisible Officer, for this very useful information.  As I said before, trying to get 12 men into the Kleiner Floßsack would be fun to see.  I have purchase some Großer Floßsack in 1:56 scale to make a pontoon bridge, and also bought some smaller wooden boats in 1:56 to do the same for my Romanians.

Thanks Nat – both have DV 3+.

But having seen the pictures of the boats I think the rules are wrong.  In my campaign the boats will be:

Schlaughboot 3M – max of 6 men so make it much cheaper.

Schluchboot 5.5m – 12 men plus 1 MMG, or 8 men plus 1 Light AT Gun – no way did the AT gun crew take up all the boat.

Plus the Soviet A3 inflatable boat…[Read more]

Thank you for the swift response.  I have both those books but missed the boats in them.

Schlauchboot is a general term covering a lot of light craft, so I guess the 3M one is the Kleiner Flossacke and the 5.5M one the Grosse Flossacke.  I would love to see 12 men trying to get into a Kleiner Flossacke!  Six seems a crowd.

They still seem ex…[Read more]

Is there a link to your blog please?

The plastic US Airbourne has a sheet in it that says you can have two LMG plus a BAR per squad.  The armoured support for the US Paras in Market Garden was mainly British 11th Armoured Division until later in the campaign when it was the British Guards Armoured Division.

I don’t have a kit to hand, but usually the guns go together very much the same.  The wheels attach to an axle, the towing ‘legs’ attach to that too, a gun either sits on the axle or there is a base that the gun sits on (which attaches to the axle).  At this point I generally paint the gun then attach the painted gun shield and lower gun s…[Read more]

“I edited my reply but now I cant see it.” Yes, I have often found the same problem.  I post something, the topic says I was the last one to post, but I cannot see it.  I reported it to customer services, and they said they passed it to the web-team.

The list is not legal, but I did use two of them in my own 1941 campaign.  And any list can be used with your opponent’s agrement.

I have done some normandy bunkers and eastern front bunkers.  https://www.blogger.com/blog/posts/8579867436914039682

I hope the link works.

Hi Duncan

Welcome to the game.  I subscribe to GeekGaming on YouTube so I heard about the 16′ by 4′ table he is making.  It sounds really great.

At home I use a 6′ by 4′ table covered with a single green unfitted bedsheet.  Covered in scatter terrain.  I also have a few game mats.  In lockdown I have been reduced to solo games.

I am a memb…[Read more]

The forum doesn’t seem to like my embedded links, so if you want to see my scratch built terrain you should go to https://paulwargaming.blogspot.com/

For some reason I cannot see either my response nor the reply from Janos900.

Although this post said I was the last to update it, I can’t see my last post.

One of the problems is the generic definition of “rough” ground.  Dense woodland, deep mud, sand and rubble are given as examples, and whilst riding a motorbike (particulalry a combination) through sand and mud is not easy it is certainly possible (there are lots of WWII pictures to support this).

Cavalry should not be able to move through dense…[Read more]

Very good indeed.

I did a previous post on Soviet ‘Machine Gun Artillery’ Platoons.  It will be on previous pages.   https://www.warlordgames.com/community/topic/machinegun-artillery-pulyemyetno-artillyeriyskiy-platoon/

Soviet ‘Machine Gun Artillery’ Platoons were only used in 1941 in designated defensive zones.  As well as multiple MMG there are multiple LMG Te…[Read more]

They look perfect for Market Garden, but too green for Overlord.  But I guess that is what you were going for?
