I would just convert to centimetres because it is easier and you have no maths to work out. I don’t care how simple the maths is, not having to do any at all is always easiest!

If you’re going with the ACW sets, the base sizes have been sorted out for you. The only thing I would suggest and it is what I am going to do, is to reduce the number of…[Read more]

I play with 15mm figures and convert everything to centimetres. For the frontages I do as you suggested, convert to inches and change that to centimetres. Seems to work well. I make two other changes that work for me. With 15mm scale the normal 6×4 battlefield represents a bigger space and consequently I increase artillery ranges by 25%, as these…[Read more]

Same thing though, right? “used” could imply “Used successfully”. Otherwise future games are going to be a bonfire :p

We sure about this? I assumed the wording actually meant “Shot at” as “successfully shot at” as in “hit”.

@Mike,  how do you get in contact with the vehicle except by assault?  in game terms Assault is a type of Run Command that allows a model to by-pass the 1″ gap rule.  So (Rules here) you cant get in contact with the vehicle unless you declear an assault.

So you now follow the assault rules, which include passangers bailing out in the way of th…[Read more]

If you can send me a private message with your details (do not post on here) I can look into this for you.

They are epic. 😃

Hmm, there are some units that are often mixed in lists.   In June 1758  the 81st Invalids became the 71st. Blue facings. Disbanded 1769.   A new 71st war raised 1775 for AWI.  Fraser’s with White Facings.  Post 1777 rarely with kilt. The Highland units even dropped the OR sword. Disbanded 1783.

The number was not the name. So the lienag…[Read more]

As mentioned, we have the letters, the pipers did the standard piper job of frightening the enemy and the locals. Before 1854 pipers are not sanctioned, not even in kilted units.  Paid by Colonel or the officers.      And so some non Highland units had some, like the 20th that had one kia at Roncevalles

The officers disliked the Horseguard pol…[Read more]

They still had them, paid by the officers. Horse guard paid for drummers and buglers only.  Fortunately we have letters from officers as source. Not just modern oics.

@MasterCheif – two key words there IF & Manages.  The transport disembark in to combat means that you didnt get in to contact with the vehicle.

I disagree that the suicide AT rule should over ride the combat disembark rule, as that would mean the unit stays on board when every instict would be to jump out

If their rule says it stops forward deployment then it’s stops all deployment using those rules.

About the outflank I’ll have to look at the rules again to say either way

Hi Tobias

A long list of stat, point* and rules related problems has been submitted to Warlord (including most of what you’ve listed here) and we are waiting on the studio to release an FAQ /Errata.

However some of what appears to be stat typos is due to the stats having real world influences, such as ammunition (AP & DD) and fire control…[Read more]

suicide bombers can fight in close combat*, they just cant declare a charge against the unit.

However in this case its the embarked unit thats effectively counter-charging the bomber.

*they dont have the ‘unarmed’ rule… now they IIRC they can chose to use the AT mine as their weapon – aka remove both models :p or ‘boot knife’

Or a scratch bagpipe, giving the ears of the poor English a rest.  Like I did.   Something different.

Rocket cars, mine was more reycling than scratch.

hi,

As IO pointed out the ship stats are taken from the realworld, which is why some guns of the same approx calibare have different AP and traits.  The ships fire control systems and the Nations ammunition manufacturing affects the range of the weapons.

And yes the points across the book are messed up and make little sense…

However you then…[Read more]

Converting can be like a drug. Its fun and I love to have MY own miniatures. I converted a full HLI unit years ago.

Easier than converting the London born son of a w.   into a Yorkshire one in a series of novels just beacause the actor ………….

Well, that character is so full of fuss that that change in later written books makes no d…[Read more]

For a typical German Farm of WW II time you should not add a silo.  Silage was common in UK and Scandinavia but most German Farmers still used hay only. A  farm in Western Germany sounds like Northwest to me.  Mostly smaller ones with some animal raising too. A fruit garden would be typical too, apple trees and some cherry ones.

The Farmer of…[Read more]

There are problems in real world  that cause delays for most gaming companies. . Corona and Brexit for example. But also longtime problems with mould makers. Much demand, few makers in UK.

Not everything is done “In house” by warlord. Even something simple like packing material can cause a long delay now.

If just one item comes from abroad…[Read more]

I GUESS because the real world German 15 cm had more “Bumms” than the 6 “.  The mv was bigger in most German 15 cm than in contemporary 6”. Esp. the SKC / 25 was superior. On the other side the projectile weight was higher in MK XXIII 6″, but similar in XXII.

For a game designer its ever difficult to design a working formula and keep close to…[Read more]
