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...
I just posted a new WTJ Naval release of British battleships and cruisers including the King Edward VII, Duncan, Orlando, Astrea and others. It is much later...
Thanks Jim, very sorry to hear about Chuck, Ral Partha have been around a long time, I can still remember buying some of their castings in the late 70's (IIRC)...
Hey all, What ships do I use as substitutes for the following engagement ? Battle of Santiago, Spanish-American War Spain the three large torpedo boats Furor,...
Yes it is that time again. With Cold Wars the first weekend in March we need to get in gear now! The deadline for GMs for the Preliminary Events List is the...
Hi Mike, For Indiana you can use the Oregon, they were sister ships. For the Porter your only current substitute is Torpedo Boat #1, which is a generic tiny...
Hi Jim! Jim: For Indiana you can use the Oregon, they were sister ships. Right… I knew that. (thunks self on head!> Jim: For the Porter your only current...
... Actually, I just checked Porter in Conway's and she was quite a large TB, so the tiny generic TB#1 would not really work. You could however, use the...
Hi all! As some people take interest in reading "battle reports", here's one for you. It's a fictive naval engarement from the RJW played using a heavily ...
Hey, thanks for the Battle Report! Sounds like a blast! ;) One question though, with the larger playing field, how did you handle flag signalling/wireless...
Hi Mike and thanks, We didn't use any rules restricting the communications between the ships or squadrons, but as I basically doubled all distances (range,...
Ah, I was curious because those of us on the DBSA list (Damn Battleships Again) were discussing ways to handle flag signalling. As such, I was hoping you might...
... yes, I am still looking for mechanisms. I think it should be a case of pay for sub-commanders, varying costs for varying competence and any orders should...
