ah Too easy! thank you

We are preparing for a game of fb14 the narrow passage. I have a question about Hungarian of availability, I am not sure if the fb special rules supersede a25. ( I am the only player without the module) a25 has Hungarian pf availability at 1-2. C13 have general pf Availability a at 1-3 and A -1...

Thank you

After a 6 month ASL hiatus we played Across the Wire yesterday. We both got HL recently, I hadn't played a desert scenario since code of Bushido came out (30+ years ago) and my opponent has never played them. Needless to say we hit a couple of snags, not all desert related. 1) non Platoon...

A follow up question: Can the target of a HW, Banzai charge be concealed? I thought not but can't see it explicitly stated Similarly, can the Japanese create a TH-Hero if it only sees a concealed vehicle? A squad bypasses a wood hex. It gets DFF and breaks. It is now in the woods. Can it...

Thanks Doug and Scott

We are about to play Buckley's Block next week. I'd just like to clarify the Cannister rules as we have not used that very often. In the pic above there are 5 possible target vertices. I am assuming that you need LOS to one of the cluster hexes and not the vertex itself. If we shoot at: 1)...

Thanks Chris, Gus

This came up in a recent game: two squads are on the opposite sides of a wall hexspine and all other terrain is clear. a) Can both sides claim the +2 TEM? (yes) b) WA can only be claimed on a adjacent hexside. So it is not possible to claim WA on a hexspine? (no, not possible) I suspect I...

We had a go at this scenario as well recently. It is good fun and quite different from the tournament scenarios we normally play. As stated above it is very sensitive to the Belgian setup. The map is large and you can't just race to another position. Our first attempt was a debacle for the...

Thanks for all the answers everyone. It prompted me for a related question A Following a moving target A trench contains two infantry units. A gun has a small -2 Acquisitition counter on the two units It is the units movement phase. The first unit moves one hex, stays in LOS then another...

No it was a question on how you would change or transfer acquisition between locations. Whether it would make sense to place a pillbox and a trench in the same hex when the opponent has a gun.

Thanks Robin, tes to pt2 I guess the key point (for me) is 3 that you cannot place the area acquisition counter without taking a ATT shot

We always struggle with Acquisition and Bracketing. A a target hex contains two locations a trench and a pillbox both are occupied by KEU. A gun shoots at the trench as ITT and gains a -2 small acquisition counter after two shots The defenders skulk away out of LOS during their MPh In the...

Thanks Doug, much appreciated. wrt B30.8 An extra trench towards the rear linked to a forward trench/pillbox would then be a really good rally/skulking location. wrt E3.1 we have played this wrong for years

I'd like to clarify my understanding of a pillbox (1+3+5) and a trench in the same hex According to 30.1; the pill box is one location, the units in and above the trench are a second location in the hex. Stacking 1a) 1 squad equivalent in the pillbox and 3 squad equivalents in and above the...

On the Overrun Flowchart is a purple table called "Defensive fire Options with no OVR" (top right). The CC RF column shows when street fighting bonus applies, the h and g feet notes (somewhat small font). If you follow the no overrun options it would cover the VBM and VBM freeze scenarios.

Thanks Klas

If a squad with 4 MF moves only 1 hex around the black bar from one rowhouse to the next rowhouse in the same building is it subject to FFNAM? B23.71 ”Such units moving/routing on the ground level expend three MF (one to “bypass” in the hex it is leaving where it would be attacked by any...

What a great article - Thanks! I had gun duels on my list next but that is covered as well now .
