Failing to form a square on our first attempt ever was very unlucky. But it’s going to happen, on average,  once in every 36 attempts. After that the infantry were destined to get chopped up. And they were.

Wow! I have to say that they were extremely unlucky. I have  never failed to Form Square and I’ve not only been playing since v1 was released, but I suffer from poor dice rolling, too. So much so, that a friend I was helping to play test his Rules began changing them. I pointed out that my poor rolls didn’t mean that his rules were faulty and need…[Read more]

They had failed to form a square (p.89 failed to form on a double 1). I was really asking if the artillery support was killed. Seems yes.

You are really going to have to read through the rules. Yet again, you are missing out important things, like the infantry forming Square if they are being charged to their front. If they Form Square, the cavalry don’t charge home, which then protects the artillery.

To answer your question, yes, the artillery breaks. You can’t choose whether a u…[Read more]

Ah yes Al, I can see it now, I was looking for a Hit mod or something, but its on the Formation mod list: attack column 1 dice

Thanks

You need to read the rules on hand to hand combat. It is all fully explained there.

For cavalry charging infantry, there may also be the “Must Form Square” Rule to apply, which would mean that the combat doesn’t happen.

anyway, to answer your question, the unit is only destroyed if the break test result states it. As the test was “pass…[Read more]

Your unit gets to maximise its firepower. When in column, firepower is reduced considerably – either down to one third or nothing at all.

Yes, it does refer to something in BP1. However, you could use the alternative rules in BP2 for Commander traits. They give an added flavour to the game, though they are not quite the same as those in version 1.

The traits were a number of options that could be given to a commander. I can’t remember them exactly, but they were basically, A…[Read more]

Currently no… just acting as a reseller for Perry Minitures

ps – nothing to do with Warlord so have no idea if they have any ideas about changing this going forward

There is alot more to look forward to in regards to SPQR… !

I did that set long ago, before Warlord took it over. In Imperial Kürisser style.  The number of options is impressive.  But the horses a bit stiff in poses. I tried to give them a bit more Action.

I use to assemble all miniatures before painting. I do single miniature basing so handling is easy.  I use plastic glue, the melting of surface giv…[Read more]

Ok it was the August copy, which has already shipped and is available to buy.

Yes of course in most cases it is better to use the main gun. Makes sense–it is the main gun!  But if you really NEED  suppression in some particular situations, then the MG will give you want you want.

Remember also if your tank has any pins, then needing a 6s or 7s will rapidly become a reality. So again the MMG might be worth it.

There are…[Read more]
