Steal away. I nicked it myself somewhere, just can't remember where I saw it anymore. 8)

There IS a middle way (although I voted single minis I have a couple of multibases too). I have based my pak40 on a large GW base, with the gunner glued on. Two loaders are on coins, with holes in the base material where the coins fit. Two other crewmen are on single bases to be placed in the...

I do remember the old thread, but that concerned targeting and now we are discussing reactions. IF (and I say IF) only one guy can fire the gun, the rule about needing to kill all crew to knock out the gun is in essence void and useless, except when calculating victory points. (It can't fire...

Agis, can you clarify how the crew is meant to work? I have surmised as follows: 1) One crew has to be in base contact with the gun for it to fire. 2) The rest of the crew can be "hidden" as long as they are within 6" of the unit leader. That way you only expose the gunner, and only he can be...

Some thoughts (and nit-picks): 1. Some of the guns lack information about moving, and rules for giving the crew cover. Most notably the Bofors AT gun, but also the Madsen automatic and the marianne. I don't know about the others, but the Bofors had a gun shield, and the others could use some...

HERESY :shock: How else is a SdKfz 23445.3424346 Ausf XXW Achtungwaffneträgerkampfmusterspähpolizeischnauserwagen be able to dig in by itself in a turn. Which, by the way, the rules don't cover. It's a crap game!!!! And you are all wrong! (And in case you don't get it: :D :D :D )

No... I don't think he is aware of that one. Now, to tell him, or not?

Yeah, that one is good too... A friend of mine is trying his hand on adapting it for WW2 8)

Hey, don't knock Warmaster, best and most realistic game to come out of the Nottingham sweatshops :wink: Actually, I have three favourite WW2 games: Blitzkrieg Commander (which is based on Warmaster), I ain't been shot mum and now World at War. Each is on a different level; in BKC you have...

Um... because it's in the rules? :wink: Yes I know we had a big discussion about it recently, no need to re-iterate all that again. Just pointing out that you can't assume that everyone uses the same house rules that you do... I like the rule, but I probably house rule some other thing you...

Yes you get to shoot at *any* point during the move (but have to reroll hits).

I suspect it's put in there conform with the rest of the vehicles. There might not be any "use" for the special mode, but every vehicle has a special mode, so even unarmed things get them. I am seriously thinking of adding a house rule that vehicles with the Wheel/X trait can triple their speed...

I think the "see through cover" bit applies to your own cover, not the opponents. So a Sherman in a wood can be shot at, and shoot out, if it is within 2" of the edge. Similarly, it can shoot at infantry *in another wood* if they are within 1" of the edge. For units within the same cover I'm...

Actually, GOOD hobby stores in Sweden are few and far between. There are some, but none where I live, and postage in Sweden is pretty expensive for some reason. I also dabble in model railroading, and the cost of sending a 5kg package from Germany to Sweden is about the same as sending a 1kg...

THANK YOU :D :D :D :D :D Now I have a reason to finish that Matchbox 17-pounder and SHQ crew 8)
