Re: An Interesting Look At Russian USSR Squad Tactics and Formations
Well, since he's Austrian, the accent is straight up authentic. And he's dedicated to honesty, not being right. I nust meant the accent adds to the atmosphere not to imply it was fake in any way. It sounded Russian to me. Ok? Ah. Cool. He's got a huge number of rather interesting talks about variou...

Re: AT gun movement restrictions
Is a wheeled gun (field gun, anti-tank gun, etc..) allowed to move in heavy going (i.e. is it a wheeled vehicle?)? Seems a bit daft to have it move as well as infantry where wheeled vehicles cannot go and tracked vehicles may be immobilized? Why would an unpowered, two-wheeled gun carriage be allow...

An Interesting Look At Russian USSR Squad Tactics and Formations
This fellow on YouTube posts honest, well researched videos on WW2 topics, and this one was really interesting:

What Are We Using For The French in 1940 For Platoon Org?
I've been playing around with a scenario for a convention, thinking I could find a org chart for a plain old French infantry platoon in 1940. Turns out I can't, so I've been using a "generic" 3x 9-man squad with whatever light weapons I have on hand. Is there any definitive org I should be using. I ...

Is Anyone Still Playing Lardie Card Rules?
I saw a Dux question today, but outside of that there's not much traffic I've noticed for actual card turning Lardie goodness. Personally, I'm basing up a bunch of cav and arty to run a massively silly LFS game, getting back on track to do Antietam with Elephant, and writing a Kokoda Track campaign ...

Re: Fire from open-topped vehicles
And sorry if I sounded a bit harsh. I understand they're all games, but I dislike "gameyness" in a game. I like how TFL rules reward actual manual tactics and don't cotton to much to rules-lawyering them to unbalancing a game.

Re: Fire from open-topped vehicles
We all want different things from our toys. As I asked originally, I'm keen to understand how IABSM handles this situation which is perfectly possible on a WW2 battlefield - just disallowing seems unrealistic for me. Yep, and it coulda possibly might of happened occasionally. But it wasn't doctrine...

Re: Fire from open-topped vehicles
As a game GM, I'm looking for a good game, historical as possible. Letting one side roll up and fire with a brazillion dice and no counter doesn't make for either a good game or make it historical. Why make "bulletproof" vehicles? Maybe not so bulletproof: The M2HB .50 caliber Lead bullet round has ...
