After a year hiatus, my group is interested in doing some WW2 minis again. I downloaded the new QR sheets from the TFoB web site and took a look at it last...
It may be a Pre-Modern QRS as the new Modern rules the Infantry weapons have these modifiers are in the stat lines for the weapons which are the same (for the...
Actually, that is how movement really happens when you are under fire - everybody hugs cover a lot of time, and every now and then somebody pops up and...
Thanks... I like the new sheets too. You should see the new vehicle QRS (5/6). They are awesome! Yes, we reduced the number of modifiers since a lot are not...
Some units can 'over-watch'.. these are: snipers, heroes, soldiers using a SAM (from TFoMB). Basically over-watching comes in two forms: holding a card and...
The thing is, the sniper is trained to keep watch. That's a large part of their training, the patience and concentration. An MG team facing down a street sets...
Hello Everyone, We are now starting to playtest Vietnam scenarios for The Face of Modern Battle. If you have not signed up for playtesting and want to be...
As we work on scenario books and a new sourcebook for Vietnam, I was wondering what units, battle, operation or other conflict peole are most interested in....
Mike, 1/9 Air Cav is always popular, but I think the Armor and Convoy portions of the war are often overlooked. I would rather see early war scenarios, like...
Some questions regarding TFoMB: In most games, LMGs mounted on vehicle mounts become MMGs, like the MG-42 in WWII and the M-60 in Vietnam (ACAV, etc). The...
hmmm... we did look at early involvement but that was (like you said) a lot of advisory stuff. Early war and late war is very cool, but it involes a lot of...
Welcome to TFoB...!! I'll answer your questions below... ... not ... or ... arrrg... the old L/M/H machinegun stuff. If you look through previous threads, the...
Mike, I understand the need to keep the vehicle formula top secret, but will you be posting stats for vehicles not in the book or will you provide stats for...
Pat, I think you will have to take a number behind the folks wanting WWII French or Japanese vehicles, and BMP'S!! BTW, the Ratel 6x6 has a 90mm gun (Ratel 90)...
Mike, A couple of weeks ago I posted a message saying that the Soviet Vehicles (except the BRDM-1) all had speeds of zero. It might have got lost in the...
Greets, Personally, I think the best stuff to go with is the "popular" (ie, well known) stuff - Ia Drang Valley, Khe San, Tet Offensive, etc. Regards, Wayne ...
I have some follow-up questions to my earlier ones. Don't say I didn't warn you! Grenade Launchers: If each grenade from an automatic grenade launcher...
Hi. I'm not a war gamer (although I used to spend my life painting miniatures), so I hope I'm not intruding too much by joining this group. I'm currently doing...
Here are the modern Soviet vehicle speeds. Also the V150 should have a breakdown of +0 and a greound pressure of 'low'. T-80U 10 T-80 9 T-72M 9 T-72 9 T-64 9 ...
Thank you. Lee It is the bicycle you don't hear that kills you - Amsterdam 2002 ... From: phrodon To: TheFaceOfBattle@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 20,...
Last night we played a ww2 game with: British - 3 M5 halftacks, 1 section of men German - 1 Opel, 1 Recovery Vehicle, 1 Destroyed Mk4 and 1 section of men. ...
That is wierd, plus the whole "Aquisition and Spotting" modifier tables. Why are they split up, this is never explained in the rules. I assume that Mike meant...
Well slap me silly... it should be -20. Some days I just hate working with tables and spreadsheets and stuff... these things happen with the macros/formulas....
BTW, I rarely play with spotting since the ground scale is so small. How can you miss a Tiger tank 10 metres away... although some units can be nicely dug in. ...
... Page D-19 I would gicve tyhe full auto mode of the Mk-19 3 per action and a mishap of 91-100 single shot: shots per action: 1 mishap: 98-100 burst: shots...
Hi, Pat got me into Modern Face of Battle at his shop.. great game. If I understand a earlier post then there will be suplement books for vehicle and weapon...
