… point 2 – you dont snap to yourself! so you are actually limited the officer to 1 snap-to .. the same as a command vehicle.

Snap to works by:
1 – issue order to the officer
2- take any order checks that the officer requires
3 – IF…[Read more]

also How a weapon is used is part of how a weapon is charcatised…. for example MMGs are just a game distinction, they were either light (squad) or heavy machine guns!

Next point is … its a game that has more in line with comic books of the 80s & 90s + Hollywood films over historical…[Read more]

Have we (the wardroom) looked this aircraft – yes
is it worth it – not really I’m afaid
reason is that rate of fire isnt really taken into account … at best it would be a flight the same as the other B25s but with MTBs light gun

Or house rule that the porteee / gunshield means you roll on the vehicle damage chart (full damage) instead of auto destroyed?

4 – slot / unit compition within an army list – they removed medium mortars from the rifle pltn and let light mortars so that ther was a…[Read more]

However, in standard BP artillery are a single gun in the rules with an optional rule to allow the size to be shown with additional models.. this is normally because only Russians (in Napoleonics) can have large batterys, everyone else normal or half….

3 – ok… that makes me laugh /cry …

UNLESS the weapon has indirect or limited ammo – in which case it may target a seperate enemy units.

PINs – you pick the weapon (singular) with the highest potental number of pins and apply thoses pins.

Limited ammo weapons – you select if it was going to fire before checking ranges, if…[Read more]

During the AWI / American Rev.  The British army tended to pull their Grenadier Companies out of the battalions and form pure (combined) grenadier battalions (same as they did with the light companies).

So I’d go with padding to make the grenadiers a full 2 bases.

highlighted the word either – this means the first time you fire a broadside it gets the bonus the second broadside (position) to fire wont get it

The only way to give a disordered unit any order is to make the units Elite Roll…  it to show that if the rank & file are running round like headless chickens it doesnt matter what you shout they aint listening!

2) in v1 Army Commanders could order Brigades… some wording wasnt updated.. but yes in v2 they cant directly order a brigade unless you house rule it

3) terrain, like units, is abstracted in the core rules (not sure about the epic versions) so discuss /come to a concencouse in your group how you want them…[Read more]

But yes, WL didnt check the pdfs before posting them…. the whole army lists feel rushed and ALL should have been revised.  (but then again as so much of the v2 FAQ wasnt included in the v3 rulebook and the v3 errata reverses rules that are in the main rulebook (MLRS & passengers…[Read more]

You use the lowest level of sails/ speed ship as the speed of the line

You move the line from the lead ship

All colours (be it paint or dye) fade with washing, wear and tear, sunlight etc.

Two identical bits of kit (be it armour, canvas or uniforms) treated exactly the same will alter colour at different rates.

Now you’ll never please 100% of people 100% of the time… [game companies tend to aim for 80% of readers understanding the book  if I remember correctly(!)…] and disgruntled people tend to be louder than happy people…but even the…[Read more]

I’ve said it multiple times that WL dropped the ball MASSIVELY with v3… I’m waiting to see how the armies of X books work against each other before looking again at alternatives!

Its a beer & preztel game based on Hollywood /comics based on real life… its since been distilled towards a tournament game.  So some rules are there for game balance, others to artificially promote the use of other units or tactics.

It took me a couple of years to get my head round it…[Read more]

This would be advance speed halved – or 4.5″ as its a reverse.

It being a tank will run over any standard obstacles like a hedge,  if it reaches something it cant go over (a building for example) it will make a pivot of up to 90deg in the direction that…[Read more]

They would need explict exceptions to be able to advance and shoot.

option B: wait 3-6 months when it might become available in the warlord store.

Apart from that maybe check out  YouTube, or you have to go deep diving in to Operations by Name /Location,  Unit history, work back from shipping losses that sort of thing.

I’d head over to Facebook or Discord and see if anyone has any spare…

Long answer – If you can justify it any then any non heavy tank can be taken, however the way the PDF is written transports & Tows are a subsection of Vehicles and the specific – only common vehicles can be taken – overrides the generic ..anything not 9+ or worse can be taken.

One is actually the same reason as most companies have removed their forums – GDPR and other privacy laws – you want the articles to be open to every one and easily read which means you either have to allow anonymous posting (BAD IDEA!) or you have to put vairious measures in place.
