We've only been playing Field of Battle for a short time but we're really enjoying it. I'd just like to check on a couple of questions please. 1. Two columns...
... Brent: Either. Its how YOU want to sequence the attack. ... Brent: The line couldn't fire at BOTH because they would get a fire marker after they fired...
Hi Garry, 1) If by destroyed you mean reduced to -1 UI alone, then I would say no. If that reduction would also have resulted in the unit routing, then I...
Thanks for the reply Brent. Don't know how we missed the 'Line of Sight' section (doh!). As regards the attacking battalion columns, I just want to confirm ...
A firing unit can only fire if it isn't marked. Once a unit fires, it is marked as having been fired. Until a Firepower card is turned, that marker can't be...
Thanks for info and I'm glad to say we seem to be playing it correctly (huzzah!). Can I just check on something that only came up as I was reading through the...
Strictly speaking, the UP1 for Initiating only applies when you use the Melee card (a more prepared and deliberate assault). But - if you choose to apply the...
Hmm, that's an interesting interpretation. It would seem to discourage aggressive play, which I think is a bad thing. OTOH, it would help artillery batteries...
A wrote a AAR for a Piquet: Anchor of Faith game Mark Cabaj and I played Friday 2-Jan-2009. Its on the EWG AAR Site under 2008 because Mike doesn't have a 2009...
Hi Peter Thanks for the feed back:-) All figures are 10mm, mainly Pendraken with a few Old Glory Horse. Guy 'He either fears his fate too much, or his...
Gazing longingly across the early unblemished sands of the parched Sahara, I couldn't help but muse, whithering beneath the heat... 1.) In the force charts,...
FWIW what a great idea - an elegant use for them thar carriers!.There was of course an issue with transportation for the Italians earlier in the war .. And as...
... Italian divisions were smaller than British ones. From memory 2 regiments of 3 battalions of 3 companies. Italian battalions were orinally larger but El...
... I ... I thought the whole mounted\dismounted rule at this scale was a bit fiddly as well. If you drop the mounting\dismounting, I think you will need to...
The most likely use of the firing at mounted units procedure is when using opportunity fire. Troops mounted in soft transport are not going to like being in...
1st battle of 09 set to go! Hi guys, well the first Ilkley Lads game of 09 is set to go – The Battle of the River; set in the Holy Land 1130ish. I've posted...
The way I see it if a motorized unit uses the motorized movement and it is shot at using opp fire it counts as mounted. In all other situations it counts as...
Hi Mark, Why not just increase the Vs D6 die to Vs D8 for movement? Also, on the motorised point, I've been reading up on portee 2pdrs. I now think that they...
... Well, let's say I have 3 move segments. I'm on a road in a woods so the enemy can't see me. I move at mounted movement speed (plus road bonus) to the...
Once a motorized unit gets out of its trucks and moves at normal rates I would say thats it for motorized movement for that day. In most cases the lorries...
Hi Mark, That is how I would read it. Once debussed infantry are infantry. I've just read about "Toten Sonntag", here the Germans advanced in soft skins...
