So a Wardroom Errata to fix a few outstanding stat and rules issues:

Note 2 things havent been included – anything to do with flights and carriers plus range when touching because we’re hoping these will be addressed in a supplement that is in the works!

Now for some reason it looks like the Italians only produced DP rounds (shells) for their 3.9″ guns, not their 4.7″ ones  – I’ve not looked in to it personally, but i’ve not heard anything about RM 4.7″ guns having DP available.

DP is Dual Purpose Shells used in the light guns.. basically shells set with an altitude marker to explode at a certain hight.

The AA guns are the AA battery – those 12 x 90mm are what gives the ranged AA…

you’ll note that my comment was BEFORE WL released the sepecial rules TEASE

I highlight that all we have are teases…we dont know 80% of the rules… so it could be that there are massive changes, or it could be that they are highlighting the big changes and everything else is the same.. we dont know till september.

I do agree that depending on…[Read more]

The issue here is you are straying out of the hollywood movies of ww2 (which is what BA is) and into the simulation of ww2 which is covered by multiple other game systems…

Not to mention you end up with the missing / forgetting / mixing up of rules …if you know have 3 sets of firing rules for mortars (regulars, negative for inexp, positive…[Read more]

accuracy – yes..

ability to act – no
chance to run away – no
potential casulties – again no….

BUT as we dont have a time frame for a turn / order activation i’m ok with that because we have no idea how many shots a RoF 1 actually is!  BA is a game with a historical skin, not a simulation with a gaming skin as it were…

So small teams is gone – theres no getting round that (like exceptional damage) WL have come out and said its gone completely.

People have done the maths on FB & Discord and turns out its a bit of a wash (no real difference) on lethality between the changes in shooting with modifiers and cover.

The streamlined thing …..theres a lot less…[Read more]

yeah it sounds like multiple pins are still around for orders and such, but the shooting is just do you have pins.

No wound rolls

No long range

Basic to hit is now 4+

You had the original battle of Britain 2 player rules – which are the free download ones.

You then had a 1.5 update version in airstrike, midway then used those rules but with the ground attack stuff removed

Starter box = all the air v air air missions plus some air v sea mission

Airstrike= all the starter box rules plus air v ground/sea

Wing commander= player progression campaign

airstrike is the offical rules .. its a 1.5. … BUT if you get the midway two player set then all it will give you is the ground attack missions a few more naval ones and the cards…

While I recommend you get it wing commander isnt a requirement at all to buy unless you want to…what it contains is :  a campaign
unoffical / ready room house…[Read more]

So points… you can buy equipment like rockets and such.. OR you drop an aircraft and up the pilot skill of multiple other aircraft.

Trait cards are found in aircraft boxes – please do buy the rulebook & AT LEAST THE ACE BOXES!  If you dont buy stuff from WL, then WL will no longer support the game.  You will need to buy a starter box because t…[Read more]

hmm historic use of marksmen- picking off officers and important people…

probably just better range, to hit, an extra pin & +1 PEN against infantry

well one used to be official… until a couple of months ago ..so now called Unoffical Warlordgames Server :p

Or japanese with the type 91/93 armoured railroad car
…. looks at the two Nations I play…. <dolt>

re snipers… hmm in a vacuum if nothing else changes then they’ll be lacklaster.. BUT I think more stuff is changing.

When one of the vocal questions has been why cant loaders pickup the squad weapon, I can see why it was removed…. and WL have said on FB that they are gone not reworked & re-named!

Pistols losing assault, well tough fighter was 1 point, pistols were 1 point to gain tough fighter & a 6″ ranged shot… so again I can see why remove it.

Unless there’s a rule about primary weapons or sole turret weapons – yes… so unless the armies of … book and/or the rulebook get-you-by list changes stuff  the Ahistorical upgrade to removing the ‘open toped’ rule and adding a HMG (neither happened) will become the standard version … & the historical viarient of replacing the LMG with an AT…[Read more]

added new info
small team & exception damage removed from game
vehicles half MG shots
pistols lose assault

Hi,  Re the discord – AP is a new game (less than 6 months since release at the start of April), and WL have released a number of games that start popular then die off so the mods of the discord are waiting to see the longevity of the game.  Again here on the Forum I think theres been less than half a dozen threads.

Now about the game:
Yes the g…[Read more]
