Either Poland or Canada would be great choices.

Here's the exact text of the rule in question: Before you can shoot at an enemy unit, you must have a Line of Sight to the intended targets. In all cases, Line of Sight is traced as a straight line from the centre of each of the firing models to the centre of what is called the Fire Zone (this need ...

When is it OK to select open ground as the center of a fire zone? It can be selected at any time as specified by the rules--at least that's how I read it. Example 1 is appropriate. Example 2, however, would require the RPG gunners to be in line of sight of the shooting unit--and in this case, the M...

No, it means that a squad cannot be affected by a fire zone it creates.

Of course, if there's another friendly squad that wants to create its own fire zone that catches the first squad in it...well, can you say friendly fire?

When firing a unit / model that can create different FZs in the same shoot action? Should all dice be rolled at the same time, or all dice rolled, then work out casualties, then have reactions. ... In either case my reading of the rules is that all shooting would be done before any reactions are ta...

Wow, this thread has veered WAY off topic.

After some great comments over at evocommand.com, and here as well, the card at the start of this thread has been updated and has replaced the original file. Thanks everyone!

Inspired by Hiromoon's unit cards, I used his Blank Mercenaries Card to create a special unit for smaller, scenario-based BFE games. The idea behind the unit is to represent the typical Executive Protection Detail in hostile nations. They would accompany ambassadors, judges, politicians, and other V...

What animation program are you using for this? The model looks good, but to add some realism, I would suggest adding some micro-bevels on the sharp edges you have there. A small 1mm to 2mm rounding of those edges will allow the software to catch the light and shade the edges more realistically--in r...

Corgi did some vehicles in 1:64 scale, including HMMWVs--but on reading the description, it appears that this one is actually 1:144th scale. You may want to contact the seller to confirm before you buy one. 1:64 Scale Length Width HMMWV Hummer 2.75" 1.25" does not reconcile with: Corgi Showcase is a...

That's the first battle report I've read that had the USMC actually winning!

Sounds like a great game and a good time was had by the players.

Corgi infantry is about 3 mm shorter than the BFE miniatures, but about the same heft. It's made from a very bendy plastic, and painted to a much lower standard than BFE.

It can be used as a proxy, but I personally would avoid it.

Looks very nice.

It's interesting to see what "magic wash" can do to these vehicles.

Yeah, but most of those alternatives leave a great deal to be desired in terms of playability. Especially if they're OGL. Nothing against OGL for fantasy, but for moderns, the rules are pretty creaky. I ran a Stargate SG-1 RPG session a couple of years ago. Rather than trying to work my way through ...

That's the Tigre.

From what I've found (since I haven't followed the M113 upgrading news of the CF), they have the TLAV, which is your stock M113 with upgraded engiens and armour--and they have the MTVL. The M113 TLAV ia remote weapon station (as is used on the US Army Stryker), or the "1-metre" turret taken from the...

If I might offer this news: http://www.sfu.ca/casr/ft-leopard-tank.htm A couple of paragraphs down, there is this: "Images of M113A3s in Afghanistan have been of poor quality so far. [1] The TLAV’s rooftop remote-control armament has been covered – until revealed, we must assume that PWS (Protected...

and yes the Canadians use the Leopard C2 (there upgraded Leo 1's) http://www.army.forces.gc.ca/lf/English/2_5.asp?Offset=3&cat=1 Currently, however: http://www.defensenews.com/story.php?F=2546747&C=america Berlin confirmed reports Saturday that Canada is to buy German Leopard tanks to equip its for...

I'd say the MEA should be using Mi-24Hind-Fs (Mi-35s?), but then again, I've got a soft spot for the Hind. http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/mi-24.htm Used by: Armenia, Afghanistan, Algeria, Angola, Belarus, Bulgaria, Cambodia, CIS, Cuba, Czech Republic, Ethiopia, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, ...

You're behind the times a bit Sauragnmon... :D Feds have given the go-ahead to purchase C-17s for strategic lift aircraft and are looking to purchase CH-47 Chinook helicopters. They are currently negotiating with Germany to lease and/or purchase top-of-the-line Leopard 2A6 tanks. Add in new artiller...
