Here’s a point file with WLPA (Warlord Points Adjusted) which is where we’ve fixed some of the biggest outliers in either being under or Over costed and standardised the cost of vairous upgrades – this eleminates the issue of having the same statline but different costs depending on the ship name within a class.  Plus putting in fixes where the…[Read more]

Are you on FB?  Gabbio (the author) is active in the Official Black Seas group so should be able to help you out with how to bring other ships in

no, but yes…..

So by and large they are all 1 very big shot that will turn one poor fellow in mulsh… and as all are a heavy weapon have the chance of exceptional (and therefore one shotting) artillery.

the but yes is an optional rule in the US DDay book that allows the Bazooka to use a 1″ HE against troops inside a building /bunker……[Read more]

If you head over to the Victory at sea wardroom facebook group then theres a couple of templates in the files section.  Theres also some on the Discord server

Now some of the stats are a little fudged…. but basically heres some rough guidelines, if stuck ask on the Discord /Facebook group and theres a few of us who’ll be able to help you…[Read more]

Note – I’m not 100% sold on the Black Swann starting with Radar, Sub Hunter & being Agile….

I’d need more data on what was installed… and the shape of the ships hull… however as a rough draft that seems about right and fits with the official ships whilest being different enough to warrant its own stat line.

Yes….Ask and you shall receive…. here is a rough (10 min pen and paper version)

Commission 1939
Type – Destroyer (Corvette)
Hull – 3/1
Speed – 4″
Armour – 1+
Weapons – Light Guns = Range 4/8/12/17, AD3, AP-2, DD1 – Traits weak, DP & 2 Dice Fore, 1 Dice Rear
AA Battery -Range 0, AD0 Local 1
Traits – Depth Charges, Radar, Sub Hunter &…[Read more]

warlords scale is bespoke… but apparently they work ok with/ against 15mm force

If you google it you’ll see some comparision pictures of different sizes.

As to official… well we’ve got the Prussians, but apart from that we’ve not heard or seen anything (doesnt mean a lot with Warlord as they do like to spring pre-orders of things with no…[Read more]

As Big Al has said elsewhere the rules do not exclude more than one charge response. So in this case  I would say that closing fire is allowed. The rider being that a unit can only give closing fire once per move (p.54).

No you can’t give any orders to units in Hand to Hand combat.

Intresting… (just doing a bit of reading up) Folgore was a single poorly equiped division (& was destroyed in the 2nd battle of El Alamein (the one british history remembers, but doesnt remember the Italins in it!).

So the Western Desert book having them without LMGs, but SMGs to make up for it is possible

Yes, exactly what Nat was saying. Do not expect consistency or fine-tuned balanced in some of the campaign books, as they were often design as stand alone experiences.

It could also  simply be they missed the LMG line in Western Desert, but it has not yet been picked up in Errata.  It is very odd that an infantry unit not to have that, unless t…[Read more]

ah yeah…. that would increase the difficulty some what…

ouch….. dont know which of the two posts is the harder to read!

OP has <tags> on each line
Stuarts reply is about 2-3 words per line….

:'(

probably best emailing the question in to the CS team then posting the reply here,

No,  their rules dont state that they have to be deployed… so (IIRC) the concensouse on FB groups is just having them in your list is enough

Only 17 months out and the other side of a BP (Napoleonics) version….!

Dont forget that if you hit the opponent takes a boom chit… boom chits win games not shooting down planes (although that helps :p)

EG you hit, opponent takes a boom chit they then try and save the damage (lose of advantage level)… when boom chits = planes +1 then they run away.

Theres the Japanese swimming tank with a waterlined version… dont think I’ve seen a Sherman DD waterlined one…

points on campaign books….

i) they are all (except when in a seriers like DDay or Italy) independant of each other – they like to pretend that only they, the core rulebook & armies of… books exist
ii) often they have completely different authors (this is why the same unit can have different rules!).  The Author will put in the rules they…[Read more]

Yes…. unlike a 15mm ww2 game the turret is just a way of changing the arc of the weapons….
