Nat gave the right answer. The problem came from the original organisation.

A Prussian Brigade had a Line Regiment of 3 Battalions (2 Musketeer / 1 Fusilier),  a Reserve regiment of 3 Battalions and a Landwehrregiment of 3 – 4 Battalions.

Regimental CO was a Lt. Colonel but often a Major was doing the job.

Brigade CO was a…[Read more]

no you havent got wrong… its 1 pin per firing unit…. unless the firing unit has HE or a flamethrower in which case those pins will take precidence.

ie 5 rifles will be 1 pin

5 rifles and a rifle grenade will be D2 pins

5 rifles and a flamethrower will be D6+1 pins

picture attached… cant quote page number as I’m looking at an ebook version… but it says roll once, apply then roll again (unless the vehicle is destroyed by the first result, of course)

Ok the same paragraph then goes on to look like its contradicting its self by saying roll two dice and apply both results…….can we get some proof readers…[Read more]

1) Each brigade needs to have an individual commander

2) As you pointed out there are options within V2 for your General to be just another Brigade commander – just with the posiblity of being a higher staff rateing -note how prussians cant have a SR 7 brigade commander….

3)As per the  BPv2 General Viarent  you mentioned (warrior General pg 1…[Read more]

@stuart – its in the massive damage rules… ok I’ve paraphrased it as I typed that from memory 🙁  how ever as I said in #179522 you cant have a rule that says roll 2 damage and apply both unles the 1st is destroyed and then have another one that says roll X damage and apply all of them because the X damage came from 2 separte weapons

Also -…[Read more]

But wouldnt ‘passenger affected as normal’ just mean that they follow the normal vehicle destroyed rules?

So we have in the instructions for massive damage this quote “(unless the vehicle is destroyed by the first result, of course)”

So if I get to apply 2 resutls unless its destroyed why would I be able to roll all D6 +1 flamerthower damage hits even if (for example) the first one destroys the vehicle?

Now my under standing is shooting V…[Read more]

@nI know – good point I never said anything about order of resolution 😛

@stuart…except the part of the rules that literally says don’t apply anymore damage results and remove the vehicle as soon as you get a damage result!

Hi bill, no it doesn’t affect the hand size… it is just removed from the deck before the game starts so you start with one fewer card.

If you download the faq or read the updated rules in air strike you’ll find a dirgam that shows you -yes the front arrow must be in the rear arc to get tailing

No the unit is NOT hit by the weapon that hits the transport vehicle… they are hit by sharpnel and debris of the vehicle.   THis is why you get get PEN bonus to the wound rolls.  Source is the FAQ.

As they are not hit by the flamethrower but rather the vehicle they where inside they only test if they lose 50%

Thank you! Excellent!

sorry only seem to have posted half of what I was going to say!

The extrapulation (as I dont have the peninuslar box either) is that they are made to fit WLs rules… that is a battalion of 24 models with 4 grenadiers, 4 voltiguers and a command group as thats what the pictures on the store show (which seem to be pretty accurate)

Warlord late war Battalions are 24 single piece models, with pack and heads separate  8 which had epaulettes.  There are multiple different Shakos

Page 20 (main rulebook) under Formations. It tells you all about Skirmish formation.

Basically, it tells you about the different way that units use the formation “Skirmish Order”. As a line unit in “Skirmish Order” is not a unit of skirmishers, they do not benefit from being skirmishers.

I don’t comment much on the supplements because I tend no…[Read more]

The ca. 100 men at the Beijing Radio Station in Italian concession under Lt. Cmdr. Baldassarre  had been a mix from army and navy.  The Navy officers and OR wore white naval tropical dress, the OR had a Khaki drill one that some may have worn. The army guys wore  the standard tropical khaki  uniform .  They had only light arms.

3/4 decided to f…[Read more]

That makes sense, however in the Clash of Eagles light infantry do have the special note – skirmish – yet you also have Russians Line Units with the rule ‘poor skirmisher’ which states that they dont benefit from the +1 bonus for skirmishers shooting…. when they can only do that in mixed formation (Russians dont have the option to form compisite…[Read more]

The line aren’t skirmishers, so the modifiers don’t apply to them. They aren’t skirmishing, they have just adopted Open Order to move through the terrain. Skirmishers are trained to operate in the way that they do and are normally in small or tiny units. There can be exceptions, where a full regiment of light infantry are working as a line unit.…[Read more]
