I game the Pacific primarily and have recently bought a section of anti- tank log wall from Ironside miniatures. This was a low wall not intended to stop the...
I, like you, primarily game in the Pacific. I don't think the armor (if any) on the belly of most tanks during this time period has an armor rating, because...
My suggestion treat as per hedgerows rule on page 114 (rule 20.1) i.e. hard cover and AFVs crossing are more vulnerable to AT weapons using reserved fire +1...
All tanks and armoured cars had belly armour to protect from mines, often the same thickness as the top deck (to simplify production). In the Sherman this was...
Hi all. There is a RF2 rule variant for contemporary conflicts in Iraq Afganistan ecc.? I have a RF1 variant that we play in 28mm. Thanks for any replies. ...
Thanks boys, all this has been very thought provoking and as always, being a hands on bloke, I will have to try out some of the ideas and see which I prefer. I...

... I have just recived it. It is extremely informative and very eye-catching. Just like flying over a Panzer Division on your PO-2! I am expectant about a...
Whilst AFV needs to do a heroic check to approach within 6" of inf if unsupported by inf, would say a 251 loaded with pz gr have to do the same since you could...
I may sound pedantic - but: What sort of 251? My understanding of the interpretation of this rule is that if the 251 is an AFV (it mounts an artillery piece,...
To me it is simple. Any vehicle, whether soft skin or APC carrying troops is doing just that, carrying them. They do not perform a support function, they...
John, 1. True a 251 mounting a gun is treated as a self propelled gun i.e. AFV in RF likewise a US half track with a gun mounted ... that ... support. 2. We...
Marc, we play this a bit different locally based on a series of e-mails with Colin Rumford. Here is the wording from our own local interpretations: (4.1) When...
I suppose it depends on what is trying to be modeled by the rules. Armor is loathe to advance into situations where they may be ambushed by infantry with such...
So judging from the responses in the previous posts (thanks kindly) ... if unsupported by inf, would say a 251 loaded with pz gr have to do the same since you...
Surely the US paras you mentioned would have to take the test if they were breaking cover to assault a tank. This is exactly why the rule is there. I don't...
Mark, any element "breaking cover" i.e. leaving cover (not from a vehicle) should test. (4.2) An inf element in a vehicle does not require a heroic action to ...
... A simple way to bypass the inability of infantry to cope with tanks is to allow them to use petrol bombs as a substitute for AT grenades without the...
Hi, I've always had a problem trying to figure out the best way to do PF with microarmor. I use 1 stand equals 1 figure in the bigger scales. My question is...
Hi, I've always had a problem trying to figure out the best way to do PF with microarmor. I use 1 stand equals 1 figure in the bigger scales. My question is...
Joe; I play with 15mm and do 2 figures per stand so not the same but the concept is the same. The key to remember is each figure represents 15 men and not 1....
All, have uploaded a revised Bras (Normandy) scenario to my website with some excellent photos taken at Triples 2008 in the UK ( thanks to Jason Neilsen) ...
Hello All, I had my first game of RF last night with a buddy. We used the Son bridge scenario. Most questions I was able to find answers on the forum. One...
Hi Mark, In RF observation is either (a) chance test in the observation phase or (b) automatic as you move and units are revealed. Apart from troops seen...
Hello Mark, and thanks for the fast response. That makes sense, but I am getting hung up on seeing 3" in woods rule. If I understand correctly the fact that...
Mark, as stated in my reply observation is either (a) chance test at the beginning of the turn or (a) auto throughout the turn. In this case it would depend...
Ok I think I got it, I'm a bit slow on this topic... The enemy unit had already been seen in the open at about 16" the previous turn and since nothing they did...
