Too Fat Lardies

Not to mention that the armour varied in a host of properties and was commonly not uniform either through or across plates - and that's before you factor in composite armours!

Indeed, John, the game is flexible enough to accomodate tweaks like that and if you feel playing it like that is more realistic I'm not going to argue - it is a reasonable argument! ;^D I do think that +1 would be a bit stingy for an adjustment to spot someone who is shooting under normal conditions...

If a unit starts firing from a blind it is deployed on the table and is automatically spotted, unless the scenario notes say otherwise, which us whe...

Since no one has yet mentioned them, I guess it falls to me to suggest:-

Lard Max
The Lard Warrior

There was indeed an army guide, which came bundled with the rules.

If you want a copy I would ask Rich.

I don't recall ever playing it or seeing it played any other way than the section wiped out being triggered when the teams are wiped out. The JL gets his own rolls...

Yes, indeed you can.
