Yes. It is mandatory. Also, even if the unit is not used for support ( there is more than one eligible to support – eg: two units at the rear) both would have to take the break test if the fighting unit is destroyed.

MTBs /small boats  will have been used to slip under radar to mine channels used by subs and also to clear an area before you sail your own subs / capital ships out of harbour.

Could you do dieppe… possibly… but I wouldnt due to the numbers involved… but the Commando raids (such as the recover of the paras who took apart the german radar…[Read more]

MTB and Schnellboote had DC / Wasserbomben. They used them mainly to attack surface vessels, running close along . throwing them and going away full Speed. The blast broke the Targets back.

They also used them in fleeing before destroyers and similar. Not nice to run over a DC….. .

Submarine hunting was rarely done. The boats had limited…[Read more]

1) That is correct. It is nasty charging into guns, so avoid it wherever possible. Both units will fire Closing Fire as your unit contacts. Then, should it have suffered any casualties, your unit takes a break test. Now, this doesn’t happen often with Infantry vs infantry, but where artillery is concerned, it is brutal. Once you’ve survived tha…[Read more]

Warlord’s German historian was not asked about IR 950, the Azad Hind. So I doubt that it will be included in the next Normandie book.

The unit was organised from may 44 on like a German Standard infantry unit. Serving mostly as occupation force and retreating post Invasion it had few Engagements. It was never trusted , there had been…[Read more]

Not that I’m aware of….of memory I don’t think that .wg.easyarmy.com has any, and they are 90% up to date with campaign books (missing the latest pacific book’

however There is another Normandy book coming soon (preorder on sat) that covers the British and commonwealth sector

In the QSRs, nope those points are from the callout box on page 6 …

yeah I feel that it’s currently pointless…

cool…

should be collecting my 5th & 6th Mogamis on friday so over the weekend I can convert one up to be the ’43 refit mogami!  (swapping the US half of my starter for the japanese half from the US player at my local club)

1) large silhouette is if you are in the port or starbord arcs of the target… doesnt matter if its a destroyer or battleship

It is the largest part of the shilhouette in relation to the ship its self…

2) yep… if its over 30″ then its over horizion shootings – which is its own call out box (QSR pg 6) &  is all of

i) over 30″ but still…[Read more]

To be fair we normally do a charge order and then a supporting move order for the other units.

Well, if you will be able to convert that Warhammer shield into a convincing German one you would be 100% able to scratch a Panzerschreck without any ready made parts.

But that’s just my own scratchbuilding loving me.

Funny how a thread can change. Now we are at the prices.  And yes, some Warlord prices make me :-o.   But compared to the on…[Read more]
