Too Fat Lardies

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...

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...

This fellow on YouTube posts honest, well researched videos on WW2 topics, and this one was really interesting:

Found it. Sigh.

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.

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 ...

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.

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...

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 ...
