I’d agree with you pair except for 1 fact… this is the 2nd edition of the game, having originally been made by mongoose.

So warlord have to cater for both returning /continuing players as well as openeing it up to those gamers who have never played a naval game.. it’s not a historical game – it’s a game based on history, the moment you put p…[Read more]

I think all of these have been flagged to the warlord team already…., we are waiting for the rulebook to be released (in january) which will over rule the cards.

In the facebook group one of the authors has confirmed that they’ve put the un commissioned vessals in to the game for both game balance & to enable what-ifs

all dragoons in the game are heavy Cav D1, as are dutch belgium carabiners (AT2), Neopliatian Heavy cav (CoE) and Spanish guard Heavy Cav (AT1)

yes…. and saxon heavy cav are D2 or D3 (roll per unit at start of game)

thats a mix of v1 and v2 rules…

in v1 Div Comanders could use their SR to order any unit …

in v2 Div Commanders just provide a single reroll per turn to 1 bde commander that they have joined (so start the turn in 12″ /proximity of)

however v2 also gives you the option of changing your div commanders re-roll to a different skill (IIRC theres…[Read more]

Pas de Charge is 2 points per unit, and gives you in effect a limited version of reliable, in it only works if the unit is in assault column, now thats where the issue comes in – as some of the supplements say pas de charge is reliable in assault column, which is the same wording as the BPv2 rule book.   However as you pay points for it we (…[Read more]

my view with the Italian set up including the Aquila is the aircraft and special rules… the Italians have a rule that if you take ground based aircraft you suffer a -1 to your initiative roll so required a carrier, that then comes with a rule for aircraft with folding wings…. and only the Re2001s being carrier capable.

Now the Etna…I guess…[Read more]

Currently there is no erata… as already mentioned the rulebook hasnt been released (due end of Jan) so all we have is a Quick Start Rule booklet….

There has been feed back to warlord about typos in the cards, but the cards will just be player aids and (hopefully) over ruled by the mainbook

I’d say no official ones…. however when we get the rulebook in january you’ll be able to make up your own…

I expect to see a few mockups here or on the facebook group (Victory at sea Wardroom (unoffical))

Yes, if you are taking a Wurttemburg division you need at least 1 Inf Bde… however Black Powder is best described as a framework rules… as they are allies I would allow you to add just the light infantry brigade with no Wurttemburg divisional commander but not allow them to benefit from the divisional commanders re-roll

Re Artillery.. yes,…[Read more]

doesnt matter if you’re a vet of a dozen battles or just out of training…. if you trying to put a handgrenade through a slit!  The difference is your getting there (the order check)

wouldnt be the first FAQ answer that directly contradicts the rulebook…. look at the rece movement entries…. I’d take that answer as being for that unit only at best or ignore it totally at worse.

Having said that, if your gaming group is happy for your NCOs to be loaders then go for it… double penalty when the NCO is killed off by…[Read more]

Kar98K’s way is the way we play it at the Chelmsford bunker… reasons

i) its quicker as you move all your models in one go before we work out shooting, rahter than half move, shooting, remove casualties, finish moving whilst remembering how far each individual guy can go

ii)unless exceptional damage is rolled the owning player removes…[Read more]

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]

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.
