Following on from a discussion at yesterday's tourney, would people like to see exisitng units offered in different combinations/colour schemes? For example, Rob's photos illustrate how good the USMC hardware look in temperate camo, so what about EFTF in desert colours? PLA FAVS: 3 to a box...

I realise losing expensive armour to rams must be frustrating, but to under-funded MEA units waiting for their own, out-dated, armour to arrive it is a viable tactic.

Point taken - I sit corrected. Nevertheless, the idea that heavy artillery can only inflict one more point of damage than an assault rifle still appears ridiculous to me - especially at 50 points a pop. 2D6+1 sounds far more realistic. Still, the point about elevated firing positions is an...

Apologies if I'm going over old ground here, but a search on the topic proved inconclusive. Under heavy artillery it states that the damage per unit within the firezone is 2d6+1. Now, elsewhere, I've read that means the best result that can be achieved is 7 - on par with a 40mm grenade. Is...

As did I - I bought two. The AVP box sets are available in Blighty at the time of writing and I've picked up both with a view to a one-off BEVO game. Of course, if it proves popular, then they may make a return appearance - but then they have a tendency to do that anyway, don't they?

Though I do like the Land Rover, I have my doubts about how practical they would be in the game. Like the technicals, they would be incredibly fragile, though they would sport more firepower. The preponderance of man-potrable RPGs and anti-tank weapons amongst enemy factions doesn't bode well...

Nice job with the link Mr Evil.

My pleasure :D

At the tourney I was asked several times about the case I was lugging my EFTF minis around in. It was a KR multi case purchased from Wargames Workshop in Cranfield, with one half pick-and-pluck and the other have slotted for figures. I've had a play around with them today to see just how much...

Greetings, my Kreigsmarine fllet comprised of: one Scharnhorst-class battlecruiser three Zerstorer 1936-class destroyers three Type-XI U-boats and six flights of ME109s. On the evidence of today's tourney, the U-boats are a bit of a liability. If you...

No idea what RTFM means, but thanks for the prompt reply. I did try a search before posting, but only received a bunch of twaddle in reply.

Okay, I realise I'm opening the floodgates to those members among you who dabble in sarcasm, but I'll ask anyway. In the combat section it states that every successful hit inflicts one point of damage to the target's Damage score, but makes no mention of a Crew hit, as in ACTA. Is this an...

Greetings, a quick question on suppression fire: if a unit is in a situation whereby it has lost its next two actions, but then finds itself in a position where it can react does it a) lose the ability to react, plus one of its normal moves; b) can neither react nor take its next two moves or...

Thanks for the prompt response, but I feel that you if you compare the kneeling miniature with the photograph supplied, the proportions are still wrong. It still looks too truncated to me.

It would be interesting to determine the amount of time people spend playing OGL games against the amount of time they spend playing the more popular licensed products such as B5 and Dredd. Certainly - with reference to a poll on another thread - the OGL line does not appear to be remotely as...
