Hi all, silly idea, but following a very fun Langtons SCA Fast Play (Napoleonic Naval) game last night, I was idly thinking about ideas for games, and came up...
That would be curious if you could translate it to the pre-dreadnaught era. "After your top services in the Visayas as captain of the Marques del Duero (a 20...
I was thinking you should be able to acquire Glory by being honourably wounded... Perhaps this, and going down with the ship would be an option in this case....
Not everyone makes it to Admiral.... ;-) cheers Doug ... From: "Al Jul" <yuber_i@...> To: <wtj_wargames@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Friday, September 07, 2007...
Range for firing is 3 inches. If I am not in base to base contact I can fire a base that is equiped with a sub machine gun or a flamethrower (instead of its...
Twice in a recent game, a unit was destroyed with no accompanying panic hits. Now, unit destruction is not one of the criteria for triggering a panic check...
Jon, On each occasion, how large was the unit destroyed? (Both beginning strength and strength at the time it was rendered ineffective). Jim ... panic ... ...
Each case is below: (1) Beginning strength = 4. Took 2K in artillery and lost 1K (1M,1K) each in two rounds of assault. (2) Beginning strength = 3. Took 2K in...
When I originally read your post, my first thought was that this is another reason to phase out any use of one-stand bases. However I see that the units in...
Try Scale Model Specialties (www.ss-sms.com). The good news is that you can avoid gihugic international shipping charges. The bad news is that whatever they...
Perhaps simply let it fire as a light machine gun???? LMG is in the rules any (???): Firing base is using a clip or drum-fed, air-cooled light machine gun. But...
Hi Erwin, Sorry for the delay, all my WWI guys have been put away for quite a while... been working on other periods! Yes, it does mean a flamethrower can...
Thanks Jim, I know and usually place one SMG-base in such a unit instead of equipping stormtroopers entirely with them. The flamethrwer option is nice! Yes, it...
Hi, just joined. Have read but not played Republique (which is the main reason for joining). I have seen a number of posts on the 'Beta' subject. Would members...
Could someone tell me what the benefit of an infantry Unit adopting a Square Formation is please? I see that a Square cannot use assault moves, becomes an...
Hi Rodge! Under the assault part of the rules there are special rules regarding cavalry which describes the effect of squares. For instance, if cavalry assault...
Hi; I'm getting Houston's ships DD and TB models to go with my scratch built cruisers and larger. I'm going buggie trying to rconcile the data in a number of...
I have toyed with the idea of gaming the War of the Worlds. My question is this; what ship would come close to the "Thunder Child" as descibed in the book? ...
... That would very much depend upon whether you use the cover of the album or the book as the reference, or the Tom Cruise version... In the book Thunder...
It's funny you mention this, because I was reading War of the Worlds a while back with exactly this in mind. I found additional references in the story which...
Just a note: martian "gas" attacks were not really such things. It's stated in the novel that the martian gas "mushrooms" didn't disperse with the wind (in...
Gents, Like all you die-hard fans of the pre-dreadnought era, I had been struggling with how to celebrate the upcoming Centennial of the 1907- 09 World Cruise...
Very Nice! That one's going on my Christmas list. Next week we celebrate by taking on the Kaiser's shiny new fleet. I think Teddy's GWF will overcome, but...
I didn't know it was contact, I did recall mention of how water could neutralize it (?) or at least the "author" noted the gas-smoke particles in river...
