Re: Multi player game thoughts

At vimeiro, All the brigades were grouped as needed No divisions or Corps as they worked on the principles of Left Wing, Centre, Right Wing, Reserve and Cavalry. I can’t remember who was commanding Where but unles a command was allocated then it fell to the senior officer present but I can find out ...

Re: Figures or Rules?

This is late for this question but as Dave mentions in the rules and on you tube demo’s, his favoured figure scale is 1 figure = 20 men an the wargame table scale is 1mm = 1 pace, 1 yard or 1 metre or 1 inch = 20 yards. However he also recommends mount your figures Ito company sizes if using 15mm fi...

Re: New Youtube channel

I’ve subscribed! So that’s only 1 more rule book and one or two additions and figures:D Pickets charge! I could go for what I call Skirmish Plus games in 28m 4 to 6 infantry regiments cavalry regiment and a battery of artillery. Union and confederate. A bridge and a few buildings and lots of trees. ...

Re: Opportunity Charge by Unformed Unit

No rule book no matter how well written will survive contact with a determined Wargamer 😎 Sorry Dave I couldn’t resist the misquotation. Personally I think that a unit out of command distance (meaning the CinC, Division or Brigadier) would have very few options, take offensive action against an arti...

Re: Army Lists & Points

When talk runs to Pickets, how is this handled in a game? I’ve been brushing up on campaigns. The Prince of Orange posted Picketswell in front of Quatre Bras and shots were fired in the night but I’ve never found anything that covers strengths or anything else about them. WRG Ancients covered scouts...

Victrix 13mm & 1/144th figures and models

Has anyone bought any of these ? I’m thinking specifically of ‘O’ group. They look beautiful models but my painting talent falls far short of those shown in the mail shots. For a size comparison I have some Heritage Napoleonics and old strip mini.figs and although sold as 15mm figures they appear mu...

Re: Battalion level WW2 Now called "O" Group or the story of "Oooooh"

It does help. Many thanks Dave. I have to buy a smaller property which is going to limit me to a smaller game table. Probably 6x4.
As long as I don’t have to put my figures on half pay 😕

Re: Battalion level WW2 Now called "O" Group or the story of "Oooooh"

The problem older wargamers face is that many modern rules say base size doesn’t matter, but it does. If you have a ground scale of 1 : 1000 there are guide lines in tactical manuals that lay down how much frontage tactical units should occupy, so that when a General tells his brigadiers that he wan...

Re: Battalion level WW2 Now called "O" Group or the story of "Oooooh"

O group seems to be what I’ve been looking for. Just a few questions. The table you are using with Richard :- A). What size is the table ? B). What scale are the figures, tanks and buildings.? C). Compared to Flames of war are there more figures in a battalion ? How does it compare in detail of the ...
