Yes...since my last post I discovered you are absolutely correct...my error...I'm usually a rule fanatic but sure missed that one...grrrr...thanks tons tho...and copy on the re-roll if shooting after moving... :oops: (He who sits corrected) Booms

Copy that...I can hear my panzer friends wailing already...tx tons Booms :lol:

Hmmm..ok...first I agree with you that it does give a certain real-world element to it...I mean I doubt a Puma crew would want to stop and hang around and have tea while the M36 90mm blows it to bits...BUT...again the rules strongly seem to imply that a unit moves...and shoots...or shoots and...

If one takes 2 Russian Tank Rider teams as the minimum 2 required Squad Assets (not a lot of guys but VERY cheap to save on points!)...are they required then to actually enter the game on the requisite KV or T34 or could one buy a bunch of SU tank destroyers instead and make the Riders...

A German Puma sits on the other side of a hill from some Yanks. His first action is to move say 5" up and over the hill and shoots at an M36...the Puma then moves back behind the hill using up the remaining movement its allowed and now its not visible to the Yanks. This doesnt appear legal to...

Ok thanks much...what I didnt say was that I actually played Necrons vs Star Wars Rebels (yes, we're heretics) based on some variant fleet lists incorporating the Mongoose rules which are far more user friendly than BFG...needless to say it was a hoot...problem is that the Rebels have tons of...

Lets say you have a ship that has the Anti-Fighter Trait. An opponent comes roaring in with a bunch of fighters that do have the Shield Trait. When rolling for "Anti-Fighter" do you ignore the "Shields" trait on an incoming fighter (that's within the required 2" range) and strictly roll against...

Yes I used Simple Green to strip the paint off my IJN Yamato battleship model (I found the correct IJN grey after I already airbrushed it with the wrong color...uggghhhh!) ...It does work but I had to soak the pieces for like a week and then scrubbed the hard to get places with a...

My 2 cents...well..it cost more than that but...a lot of the models have fitting issues...try the Octurian or and Adira. To do a decent job you gotta have the right tools when working with pewter...they are WORTH every bit and make the hobby a lot more fun..aside from xactos and the usual stuff...

I used the tail-ends of exposed 35 mm film...its stiff enough to work with and has just the right tint (a kind of darkish brown color but very reflective) to look like a dark tinted window...specifically I used it on the turret periscopes on the IJN Yamato battleship model...it was perfect...

I've got 7 Vorchans. I use a sandpaper fingernail file (you can get a ton for cheap in the make-up section at Walmart - these are indispensable whenever your working with any kind of miniature). I sand down the flat part of the "nub" on the vertical wing to get rid of the distortions. Then...

Perhaps by default you could imply us using 2" from the stem as some kind of "official base size" for Stealth bypass (or anything for that matter). First understand, we view that the actual scale is much smaller than what the models actually create and is only representative (as with most Naval...

Say the range of a given e-mine or something similar is listed as 40" and the effect area is 3" (thus adding 3" in theory to the 40"). Would the true range (maximum) actually be 43" at the longest or does the listed 40" range incorporate the 3" effect area already? Thanks as always.. Boomer

I have to be honest...I have never actually read the Gaim specifics (my fault - I'm a Fanhead) and I'll certainly sit corrected, however you state it says ...into contact with an enemy ship"...it does NOT say "base or counter" correct? Having said that, I think the logic of still using the...

True, however to me if you take the context of the whole paragraph, its trying to get the idea across that flights are basically to be treated as ships in general... Hence "just as if you were nominating targets for a ship's weapons systems " and the phrase "- in effect all of your flights act...
