Too Fat Lardies

JimLeCat is quite correct to point out that in the rules as written Rout is different to Breaking. Interestingly even Rich has mixed the terms up as in the BTH table he refers to sections and teams breaking but only testing for Support Units routing! By this strict reading using John’s scenario what...

My take on the questions 1. yes and roll on the BTH table for section routs. 2. Only 1 rout move so no doesn’t continue to rout. 3. The section has 10 men and 8 points of shock so it isn’t pinned. Therefore it can activate on a 2 and move or fire remembering that any move will be reduced by 8” or fi...

Strong lads those BEF Brits!

Watched Rich redeploy a 57mm US ATG when the Panzers headed off road to stay out of the line of Fire!

Err both - Rich has assessed that the 2pdr is not a light gun ( which it would ar first appear by its size) but that moving it is not so difficult as to be treated as heavy. Medium seems about right to me so it is academic as to how they move the gun rather than that they can move it whether by lift...

Just get the leaders away so they don’t rout off the table or the unit gets wiped out!

Looking at the Blitzkrieg Handbook, the 2pdr is rated as a medium gun and without getting into the mechanics, by the rules as written, this means by virtue of 7.4.1 it rolls 2 dice for movement, discarding the lower.

Simple answer is Yes!

I helped run the Moerdijk game with Rich. The scenario was set at the start of the German assault in the west taking place on 10th May 1940. If follows a standard Fallschirmjager platoon of the 2nd Battalion of the 1st Parachute after they had dropped behind Dutch lines to capture the bridge at Moer...

At the club earlier, I asked Rich his views on snipers shooting at the crew in Lorraine Schleper and SPG’s in general and his answer was an emphatic NO! Only allowed where the crew is obviously in line of sight such as MG gunners in Half tracks and for SPG’s this is a no go. Hope this helps and as e...

Head to Partizan on Sunday for a few games of SP plus Richard Clark doing a Halland 1940 CoC game.
