Nat is right following the rules.

But there is no reason to get the game close to real world among gentle   men.  For example the 88 was sometimes moved for short distances without motor. So in 1940 against French bunkers. With a few rounds on the Sonderanhänger. Slow, hard work. Under fire…….

On other side manhandling a medium gun, hmm…[Read more]

hmmm…..

It looks / sounds like its all hands to the pump to hit the promise of getting the BP Epic ACW out at the end of the month…..

1) light guns using DP are light guns that are able to shoot flights, they by pass Tough & Very Tough but are used during the ships activation -this has been confirmed by the Author on Social Media,  if you check out the ‘news from the wardroom!’ thread I’ve put up a flights 101 guide which has all the references of how they work.  There is also a…[Read more]

1) – yes pg 95
2) as heavy AT gun, no it can only pivot (pg 95)
3) heavy artilery needs a TOW, light /medium can be man handeled
4)see 3

Well, creative models are ever good.  Making them more “Yours”

But with the MG I’m with Kar 98K. Or better said, against a K98. 😉  The better option would be a pistol, the German MG gunner’s secondary weapon.

For cases I use to cut pieces of brass wire. Easy to cut and allready the perfect color.

I cannot see the images, I checked the links and they are invalid.
The links you have posted are most likely only valid while logged into your google account.

Thanks Nat for all your work on the news updates.

Links should now be fixed, let me know if any more issues.

Hi Peter, welcome.. if you pop your head in to the Victory as Sea forum ‘news from the wardroom’ thread I’ve uploaded some comunity done info sheets that should help with the rules.

Ive added an update to the forum software that should prevent it from being so strict in future, external links to images should now in theory work without needing approval. Hopefully that works!

Images can also be uploaded as attachments to the forum as always, with a maximum file size of 9mb.

Ok… dont know why this wasnt put up here either!  Offical unboxing video

By this point in the war the Free French where entirely equipped by the US

however 1st Army (France) – Wikipedia as a whole…but if you focus on 2nd Armored Division (France) – Wikipedia

Also if you look at Campaign : Battle of the Bulge it has a Free French Europe platoon.

One of the Wardroom members posted this up, so I thought I’d share it here as well.

Steeljacket, it’s normal to have ground and weapon scales that are different from minatures scale. BA is strange anyway in having a 1 miniature =  1 soldier and in normal sized units ratio   but guns are normally used as  singles, not batteries.

The buildings are done by most as symbols for rural area, not true single ones.

The ground scale, gi…[Read more]

OK, so you can get these from Warlord:

@SteveT – yes, they are in Flames of Empire Book

@Nick – As per the FAQ they dont get any army special rules….how ever you can get the Austrailian /British Native Irregulars, or get the Japanese Spearmen and remove the spears replacing them with rifles.

They would be the people of the ‘greater east asia co-prosperity sphere’ who belived the…[Read more]

You are definitely talking about Bolt Action, not Samurais, right?
