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

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?

I used standard US paras for mine, but used the Mohican haircuts to make them different, so I can identify them on the tabletop.

Hi Nat – In my club snipers cans till remove LMGs and Panzerfausts becuase they are carried by men.  But in my club, snipers cannot destroy MMGs.  They can only take out a member of the MMG squad.

Snipers can only kill men, not equipment.

Area terrain such as woods – troops can only be seen if they are within one inch of the edge; or if enemy troops are within six inches.  Troops inside can also only see enemy within six inches away unless the troops are within one inch of the edge, when they have unrestricted view.  This allows troops t…[Read more]

By the way, I was really asking becuase of my five Soviet LMG teams I use in my two Machinegun Artillery Platoons.

Thanks for your replies, gents.  On reflection, I think the lower costs are justified, becuase of the lower rate of fire an LMG has.

The main advantage an LMG Team has over an MMG Team is that the LMG team is not Fixed.

“The Italians came mostly from the prisons and from conscripted peasants. The desertion rate was absurd high. The 1st Neapolitan Line lost 252 in 3 days. First light had 130 in a month. Replacements are marched under guard but even so half did not reach the Pyrenees.”

In Napoleonic times Italy was split into three kingdoms: the Kingdom of Italy,…[Read more]
