That’s it.  It’s a bit hidden away.

I hunted through some playtest documents, but couldn’t find any other rule that made it more explicit.  And my original version is packed in a box somewhere, so I can’t look at that.

SCOUTING

Both sides deploy their ships normally, THEN roll for scouting points and possibly redeploy. If both sides were able to redeploy their ships who redeploys 1st?

If you have 7 or more scout points all of your destroyers and cruisers you detached to scout can immediately be deployed on the board can’t they?

I would roll off to see who d…[Read more]

Am I right in assuming that ALL deep deployed carriers can deploy all their aircraft straight away or do you need 10 scouting points?  I am specifically asking about deep deployed carriers.

That is not clear.  The rules for Deep Deployment say you can have ‘any number’ of their planes on the table, but the scouting table implies you need 10 s…[Read more]

Aircraft apply all modifiers except range. Torpedo bombers hit on a 5+ does that mean you add a further +2 because they are firing torpedoes, needing 7+ to hit?

That is not correct. Normal Aircraft apply no modifiers.  Only Kamikaze attacks apply modifiers.

This looks like them:

My Googlski is good, da?

With Panzerfausts you will only get one pin for hitting, but each one that causes damage will add the extra pins from damage.

If all three hit and penetrated and you rolled an unlucky 1,1,1 for damage results, that’s still 4 pins.

I use Perry Miniatures for my 14th Army.  They are wearing BD trousers and shirtsleeves.  They are slimmer than warlord figures, being more realistically scaled, but you don’t notice that on the tabletop.

There is currently a worldwide resin shortage, which will likely make the costs of plastics increase. I don’t know whether that will affect Warlord and other games companies, and in particular the VaS fleets, but it wouldn’t surprise me.

The rule doesn’t say an observer is optional, it says it ‘normally includes an observer’.  If you purchase a sniper from am army list they either come with an observer or they don’t.  The only one that I can think of where there isn’t an observer is the Finnish Simo Haya (but someone may correct me).

For example the German army selector lists a S…[Read more]

My guess it was simply a case of ‘don’t gove the new guys thye big guns, give it to someone who can shoot straight’

There’s a French website detailing the tanks used by the FFI here:  http://www.chars-francais.net/2015/index.php/liste-chronologique/de-1940-a-1945?task=view&id=1209

I had to use google translate.

My late war Partizans have a captured Panzer IV.  Using the the rules in the Partisan book it always does really badly (Green plus extra pins), but i…[Read more]

Those are great minis and photos.  I am looking forward to seeing the battle unfold.

The answer is yes you can.  The default army selector allows you to select any squad from your chosen nation’s options.

But generally not in specific campaign selectors.  For example if you were playing the Market Garden campaign you would only have Paras.  If you wanted to recreate elements of a specific unit or a specific battle then you wou…[Read more]

If the enemy is within 6″ you will not have the chance to shoot.

Winning combat, moving D6″ and then taking your action is great, if you can pull it off.

The book arrived yesterday.  It is a very nice book indeed.

The original VAS book was published with a set of card counters.  We played the original and playtested this one with 1/3000 Navwar ships.

Warlord’s minis are nice, but you can buy an entire 1/3000 fleet for the cost of one battleship 🙂

The rule continues “Note that a morale check is required regardless of the number of casualties caused and even if no damage has been suffered.”

I read that part of the rule to suggest that the morale check takes place after casualties have been suffered and that only one morale check is required.

And don’t forget the pins.  Even if you score no damage the vehicle still has to roll a morale test.
