Yes,  the original Light Dragoons had Hussar Dress in Peninsula. Before there was a slow Change from light draggon Dress in 1st and 2nd.    The 3rd Regiment was the first to appear completely in hussar fashion, as its colonel Johann Georg v. Reden procured fur to add to the pelisse, introduced the fur cap and allowed the wearing of…[Read more]

Presumably you are talking about Clash of Eagles; these companies are 3pdr guns with a range of just 24 inches which is worth 8 points, the close combat is 1 point, the morale 6 points and the stamina 4 points. The text also says that the shooting stats would be 2/2/1 rather than 3/2/1. This is also for 6 guns – a 2 gun section would be different.

To be honest, I’m going to pick up the supplement Close Quarters which has some cleanup of the rules for aircraft in it.

Your opponent might already now about it due to the radar rules.  It says at the start of the turn… so I read that as the plane activates before any activation die are pulled from the bag.

re flak – i read it as per…[Read more]

Another couple of options are….ps some shocking idesa here….

play some of the campaign scenarios/ randimise which mission you do play

Play lopsided battles – ie you have 1K + a king tiger, they have a normal 1K army.

Play tank war /armoured platoons

play larger point games where multiple units are activated under a single order die

I thought they were light dragoons and became hussars later. In which case, they wouldn’t have peilises. Becoming hussars was a fashion thing, so possibly had them because they liked to strut and show off.

Really IO is your man for this.

Yeah I read that as a statement of an idea not a ‘heres a scenario we’ve written’ as well…..

Knife or bayonet in scabbard, isn’t it ?

true…. how about something like this?

Grenade, range 3″, shots 1 Pen 0 special: assault, thrown weapon, grenade

thrown weapon rules – ignore cover mods, never gets the point blank bonus,

grenade weapon rules – has +1 PEN against infantry, if hit does D2 hits

dont want them to powerful as they are free on most models

Well,in that fun game the obvious weapon is missing at all – The hand grenade.

Even if not shooting you find no full cover in real world. trench, dug out, a room in a ruin….. all not very comfortable if someone lobs a grenade inside.

The writers sometimes forgot that. The Standard rifleman should be able to hit targets at short ranges even in…[Read more]

@richard – you mean almost realistic?  just a head and weapon showing whilst firing!… although I would have balanced it with the negative of the unit gaining the FIXED rule whilst in a ‘dug in’ position

Flamethrowers (preferably on a tank!) and /or smoke seems to be the way to deal with dug in troops

To help differenciate the two squads… otherwise there would be no point in the rifle squad entry* as if you wanted a green rifle squad you’d just take the LMG squad and not buy the LMG!

*Aside from the free ‘conscript’ squad…..

– I keep saying this, but this is a Hollywood game based on History not a historical simulation game

Ostfront & Fortress Budapest have minefields in the IIRC.

Basically every campaign book has enviroment and some additional rules…

And another angle.  The boxes are for fuzes and charges, see the different size of stuff inside. Both protected by containers, nromally made from cardboard. Waxed for water protection.

Loading prodedure was (Simplified) : Gun commander got the range and ordered the number of charges for the case depending on range . The shell was chosen and…[Read more]

Well for house rules I’d say the following could happen:

Each model counts as 2 for the purpose of ’embarking’ in to a building.  (this then builds in the 1″ gap)

Only 1 unit may man a wall at a time (making it easier to keep track of)

Only units that are manning a wall can be targeted by an assault against that side of the building (no…[Read more]

The wicker had some andvantages. It was light and elastic. So a dropped cannister was not breaking like thin wood. (Massive Wood was heavy)  For Germany in wartime it was also an advantage to save rare materials, even seasoned Wood was becoming scarce.

German 10,5 cm amo consisted of the case with base propellant, a number of bags with…[Read more]

Dont think there are any…. but hay people have got time on their hands to make up a campaign pack that allows this!

All players start with a generic platoon, with equipment /unit limitations to 1939 then you get so many XP per unit for suriving a game, kills, completing objectives etc which can then be spent to upgrade the unit
