You are referring to the optional rule in Clash of Eagles, for units in line formation with the must form square rule. The command test is used to determine whether the unit forms square, a disordered square or none at all. As big Al said it is not in the rules per se. I don’t use it myself.

You have to be wary of podcasters making these statements. If it isn’t in the main rulebook, then it is either an alternative rule suggestion from one of the supplement books (including the rules that come with the Epic set) or it is a house rule that they are passing off as an actual rule.

it is certainly not in the main BP2 rulebook.

What can I say….I like the game, but feel its let down in part by the rulebook.  I mean some parts of the rulebook could do with being tidied up as the references they need to make sense are missing.  Or the rules have been changed and theres still references to those rules in the book (most noticably in the stats section with refits about DC r…[Read more]

Fighters can attack MTBs which is why they have an entry in the hit chart…. any thing bigger is too heavily armoured for their calibre ammo to do seriouse harm to.

Only during the gunnery phase.

Reason- moving in to base contact is just moving in to range and not maneouvering over the ship there for the local X trait trigger doesnt activate.

Note its only Local X that triggers during the movement phase not the AA battery itself.  ie a ship with AA battery 3 + local 2 will use 2 AD against every flight…[Read more]

Hi Pat,

this sort of question will get noticed and more answers in the Historical /Bolt Action sub forum…

However, Paras are a valid sub faction army.. in fact they make a great core of a force then you can just swap out what supports you give them (ie jeeps, tanks, transports etc) to change up how they play

1. … Warlord have said you go by FAQ then rulebook, then the cards (IIRC its 450!…. yes warlords points are abit off in places…)
2 … Subs have 4(!) depths – surfaced, submerged, running deep & hidden – to keep teleporting subs to min hidden is to the grid square/sector – check out the subs 101 file I’ve uploaded in this thread…[Read more]

Thats a good idea! 😛

TBH the move and fire ability of Manhandling guns is the only reason to use it!…. so never on horse artillery

Also any heavy /seige artillery cant be manhandled.

Yes you can. Manhandled Artillery can move a maximum of 6 inches, regardless of how low the command roll is. So, even though you roll and get 3 moves, your manhandled Artillery can only make one move of a total of 6 inches.

The shooting phase is a seperate phase and so, the artillery can fire during that phase.

I’ve recently started alternative armies for BA in 15mm. (Flames of War).  Base them on metal washers as it stops them falling over.  I went for 15mm diameter. 10mm clashes won’t fit on lots of the smaller figures built in bases, and 20mm just leaves them looking too spread out. For a mortar or MMG team, I use regular BA single-man base.

Just c…[Read more]

Greg, I would edit your post ASAP to take out that email if you still use it, or every single internet bot will be spamming you soon.

If you read through the special rules section you  will see that some are recommended for veterans. In particular Elite 4+ which allows them to remove disorder on a D6 4+ and Reliable which adds 1 to the command test, making them move more often and further. It is really up to your particular scenario.
