Hi Firstly many thanks for all the work that's been done on the rules and lists. We've been looking for a set of rules to play squad level WW2 games for awhile...
Thanks for the compliments, Dave! Indeed, many of the smaller scenarios from 40K seem to work very, very well with AWWW2. You do not need a mass of lead or a...
Hi Keith and all, Sorry to be slow with the Spanish Civil War stuff. I finally got my hands on a copy of Orwell's homage to catalonia and am re-reading it. I...
Three mates and I had our first experience of Warhammer WW2 today and enjoyed it immensely. The rules are really well worked out and straightforward, plus...
Thanks for the update, Hugh. No one could ask for more. ^_^ Take care of yourself in the mean time. ... hands ... realize ... with ... Aug, and ... but I am...
Ah, that's quite a question you have there. Strictly by the rules, you're quite right, a quickly-moving German tank with Zimmerit is pretty much immune to...
Come to think of it, I can only recall seeing one mohawk (if my memory serves me correctly) in Band of Brothers too. If you read the book though, the...
hi to all, could find anything within the rules, but i'm sure i'vew missed it. what are exactely the advantages of small vehicles? the 40k rules say it gets a...
I did a lot of reading on the Spanish Civil War last year as I thought it might make a good setting for Call of Cthulhu [1]. It also made me realise I had been...
Hi Keith, My friend doubts vehemently that tanks like the KV II, the brummbar, the sherman 105 and others had the ability to fire indirectly. Do you have some...
... All three vehicles you mention are self-propelled guns, equipped with howitzers (a weapon that does not rely on direct fire, straight line kinetic energy...
I wasn't aware of a +1 cover save for small vehicles in 40K, or even that small vehicles existed in 40K (although there are small target units where such an...
Thanks Keith for the fast and detailed response. I'm particularly grateful that not only did you provide answers but you also explained some of the philosophy...
Hi all! Those are tanks armed with howitzer guns, so far so good. But why shall this enable them to indirect fire? - Of course, one could even raise the gun of...
That works for me. I'll leave the self propelled artillery (Wespe, Priest, etc) with the indirect fire ability, as that was what they were intended for, pretty...
As a side note, Battlefront Game's "Flames of War" allows vehicles such as the Brummbar, Sherman CS, KVII, and the like that I allowed the indirect fire...
... [concerning Flams of War:]...and a consideralble scatter of 19d6...(?) takin in regard - direct LOS? - spotters? not very efficiently I susppose. cheers, ...
I must admit I'm more in favour of allowing the tanks in question to fire indirectly. I think this is more of a question about game mechanics rather than a...
We tried something interesting: activating our unit one on. First of all is only deployment, no moving or shooting, just fielding our units one unit/player...
Thanks for the reply. So my Commandos are in diffs then? Aaaarrrgggh! *goes away shaking head sadly and muttering something about 'darn Dulux'* P-L-R...
For those who still care, here's some evidence of the Sherman M-4 105mm version's indirect fire capability: http://www.100thww2.org/support/781m4.html The...
Thank you very much, Hugh and Runar. I though about this some more last evening, did some more digging through the bookcases, and decided to leave well enough...
yes, exactly my opinion... i think just playing the game will create more fun than to doubt each and every item. ... of ... plunging ... intervening ... a ... ...
Most of the "fast vehicles in 40K" are smaller vehicles. Jet bikes, land speeders etc..... I would think that Jeeps and the such on the move would be...
Armour Fast by HaTT have some excelent motorcycles both single and sidecar. It is very easy to add or remove the rear rider as needed for the current game you...
The Brumbar is a giant mortar, hence it was primarily used as a BVR (Beyond Visual Range). Shermans, even the lowly 75mm was fired indirectly. Go look up...
Hello all, Good call Keith. I was just filling in the historical background stuff for anyone who doubted that it not only could be done in theory, but was in...
