I managed to skim The Face of Modern Battle (knowing only The Fae of Battle) before and would like to comment on the differences .. and maybe ask a few...
After checking TFOMB I felt like playing TFOB again. Not that I lost my interest in the game in the meantime, but I wanted to wait with gaming for at least a...
... lanes ... Can you open a firelane just 'down a road'? it is often a great tactic, but can you open it if you don't have a target in the beaten zone? Just...
We play that Fire Lanes can be opened on an area even if targets are not present in the beaten zone. This enables the MG team to seal off a flank or to ...
... Mike, what stores will carry this in the Southern Ontario area? My local store kinda crapped out on war games in the last few years... Cheers, Michael...
... The rules state you can attack on non-visible target (e.g. concealled) via a leadership card. Openning a fire lane down-a-road would be a legal, and often...
... I usually only sell to distributors. In your case that would be Lion Rampart. In the USA it is a few like Blackhawk, Military Matters, Miniatures USA, etc....
... Wow... another excellent AAR. I could totally picture this battle in my head. Great action and it seems that it played out as expected. These AAR's always...
Well we still use it since we just liked it (I actually prefer that to prone most of the time). And in a way it still is in the rules... you find it explained...
Honestly... we hardly use the MG´s for anything but fire lanes. They are very effective and if you have a weapons that is also capable of firing bursts......
Burkhard, you say 'malfunction'? :) My MG34 broke down on the very first shoot. Funny, isn't it? Reliable German MG had its worst day in the steppes of...
... yeah, i also found out that the car shouldn't have broken down as it didn't have to test for immobilization. I believe it wouldn't change the effect too...
Hi Mahon, well I did not want to indicate that I did not want to share my tactics with you! So far I have used them to block the best route of advance for...
I have one question regarding autocannons and their rate of fire: For small arms and MGs the rate of fire is included in: a) the template and b) the number of...
Guys, maybe you know better... I checked all the sources I had and the 20mm KwK 30 L/55 (mounted on earlier Panzers and some armoured cars) is classified as...
... tactics ... LOL. It wasn't what I meant :D ... enemy ... good ... So you kinda share my opinion. Fire lanes can be opened just to cover ground... ... mine ...
I will answer this post rather then the earlier one since this one is more universal. Oddly enough I asked myself that same question lately, too. The rules...
Hi Mahon, ... ... Yes, but in reality it does not really matter since we will still try to get the maximum effect out of the MG´s s they will engage other...
... I have a book on the Pz II. It said that the gun was automatic and carried a 10-round box magazine. It could fire at a rate of 120 rounds per minute. It...
WW, Rof´s are always the hypothetical ones without the time it takes to reload or change barrels. AFAIK the magazines were loaded per type and not mixed,...
After reading the book and browsing the list a few times that's what I think about the autocannons: 1. if you shoot at vehicles you use normal armour piercing...
... try to ... I also think there would be better things to do, but still wanted to know 'just in case' ... I think the best approach is "don't worry about the...
I was browsing the archove of the group and found the rule quoted above. This made me curious if you really turn turrets much in your games? Turning a turret...
Hi Michal (found out your real name by accident ;-) ), ... ... Maybe we missed something there, but I think a main gun just get´s one shot. So there is not...
Hi Michal, ... ... This is the way I usually do it and tried to this time, too. But my friend just kept on inquiring and I think I did not keep him back as ...
I try a mix of both (turning the turret and moving the tank). It can be especially hard if you have an enemy that is moving at top speed and you yourself have...
The way I play turret traverse is a bit different. My house rule is that if the target is crossing the traverse of the attackers turret and had been either...
