I hate making up house rules. I want to play in the way the author intended; if that's what they intended and it's fun, then great. If the intended result is naff, I'll move to another rules set. If I liked making up house rules, I'd just write my own set from the ground up. It would have the...

So in practice, assaulting units can choose to nibble away at units one model at a time (if the assault is going on in cover)?

Hi all. Played my first couple of games yesterday. I had been really looking forward to them, as the rules had read really well. Unfortunately, I was a bit disappointed in how the game played. I know the game is not meant to be 'crunchy', and is intended as fast play. That said, it was still a...

Any suggestions for how you could incorporate these minis (especially mecha and battle suits) into BFE?

Yes, thanks for that. The only problem with BTD is their appalling turnaround of orders. I've got a backorder outstanding for some HYW figs from the start of February. Once I've got those, I may get some of these.

It looks like the Typhoon has 'charged' the FW (a Typhoon has a 'Close Combat' stat of 4 x d10). In this case, the reaction of the Panzer after the completion of the dogfight makes sense. However, this is implied as this is not what is stated in the rules. Using the rules as written, the Typhoon...

Look in the relevant armoury sections for Light and Heavy Artillery stats.

It looks like only the SS Command Squad get 'Fanatic'.

Okay, let's keep it simple: how exactly does the 'Fearless' trait work? The text says that it allows a unit 'to discard the first Suppression dice it suffers every turn' (pages 48,55,76). Does this mean the unit can ignore one of the dice that would count towards causing Suppression (minor...

Any idea who makes 28mm casualty figures? I want to make suppression counters for my British infantry, Panzergrenadiers and American Airborne... I've got to say I've played a lot of RoE, some DH, but this ruleset IMHO tops them both...

Does it mean that it ignores the first dice that would cause suppression (ie any dice that hits)? Would that work the same with your suggested rule (ie that all dice except natural 1s count towards suppression)? The same paragraph on p39 also implies that being out of commmand causes a lost...

Great! My address is sjray@tiscali.co.uk As I am still bored but don't want to waste my time, are there any other projects that need doing (other than a full index; I'm not _that_ bored :wink: )

Tegman. Is that in English or Swedish? If it's in English, any chance of a copy? Please?

I'm putting together a comprehensive searchable list of all equipment and weapons in the b5 game (can you tell I'm bored). As a matter of interest, has anyone else had a go at this? I'm also interested in a comprehensive list of Telepathic powers, Prestige classes etc. Has anyone else done these...
