p112 of Empire in Flames – units dug in count as down…..(additional -1 to hit and HE hits halved.

Shouldnt it be -2 for being down?

Thanks in advance.

Theres some YouTube tutorials knocking about.

Sorry I can’t be more specific, it’s been a long time since I looked into it.

👍

I only own Albion Triumphant 1, and have a box of models sat doing nothing.

im aware they didn’t make contact with British troops (?) but better on the table top than in a box!

Thanks in advance,

John

Theyre not running away, just want to be first to the fight!!

😜

done a couple of officers and standard bearers. I’m still looking at the drummers and panicking though!

I wouldn’t normally post a request such as this on a Warlord Games forum, but I have searched their catalogue first with no joy –

Does anyone know of a company that makes Napoleonic French command groups in a running pose?
Any info will be gratefully received!

John

I’ll certainly look into those.

I don’t mind using a few ‘weaker’ units to add a bit of jeopardy into a game, so I’ll probably have a couple of units downgraded to conscript.

John.

In Albion Triumphant, it mentions playing around with army list upgrades to represent some of the foreign units (presumably upgrading to tough fighters, veterans…[Read more]

What did Al Murray once say – What would we be without rules? French.

John

Ok, so here’s the situation – I’m building a French Army, to fight my friends Peninsular British. I’ve chosen to set my force in 1814, so they won’t look out of place in a Waterloo setting.
Im having a bit of a meltdown at the masses of info on French uniforms, some, imo, quite contradictory.
I have a couple of basic questions regardi…[Read more]

p.87 only mentions it in the fluff, it doesn’t appear in the selectors. however it does say they weren’t used in New Guinea, so that explains it.

im guessing I could use the generic British selector and chose the Australian National Rule, or check out the original Australian pdf.

Thanks to all anyway,

John

I notice Warlord sell the above model. Which army list does it feature in? I can’t find any reference to it.

John

Master Chief – the hinges are on the right, under the wheel, that’s why I was puzzled.

John

With the spare wheel mounted on the drivers door, but half way over the hinges and body work, how did the driver open his door? Was there some kind of hinged fitting that allowed the spare to move?

Thanks in advance,

John

Gordon, it states in the vehicles description whether it loses transport capabilities if taking a weapon.

John

Forward Arty Observers – seeing that they call in a bombardment using a fire order, I take it they can’t observe from within a transport?

I seem to recall reading somewhere that if you upgraded a transport with a weapon that causes it to lose its transport capacity, it then counts as an armoured car slot.

Could someone point me to t…[Read more]

one further point though- the laser line looks good, but surely if you’re holding it above the figures, it doesn’t give you a model eye view, rather a model base view, and an obstacle only (say) 3mm high will stop the line, when in fact the figures eye could actually see the target

Am I understanding it’…[Read more]

ive been thinking about buying a pointer, never used one but seen them used so thought I’d give it a go (getting down to model eye level gets harder by the year!)

live seen on the Warlord site that you can get a pointer and a laser line, can anyone please explain the difference, and is it best to have both?

Thanks,

John

MRB modifier for ‘down’ troops is -2 to hit, and half hits from HE.

Empire in Flames p.112  says dug-in troops count as ‘down’, but then has in brackets ‘-1 to hit, and half hits from HE’, even going on to say if they also go down the bonus is doubled to -2 to hit.

Is EiF wrong, should it not be -2, and if both down and dug-in i…[Read more]
