    B28.47 Dummy Minefields

    1. If a player is entitled to add a Dummy Minefield counter to his OB (because he has/has purchased 24 Known minefield factors in his OB), does this Dummy Minefield counter now entitle him to an additional number of Dummy mine counters IAW the last sentence of B28.47? 2. If a scenario (only)...

    A11.19 Concealment and E1.43 Cloaking Loss

    Have a nagging feeling that I may have misplayed a rule on Sunday. A Cloaked Japanese stack advanced into an enemy Location containing both Concealed and Hidden units. Neither side ambushed the other. After declaring the Strength Factors on each side, I decided not to attack. (The odds were...

    B16.7 Mudflats

    1. Am I correct in concluding that the only vehicles that may enter a mudflat are those with amphibious capability, as per B16.72? B16.7 MUDFLATS: A mudflat is marsh with a lower water level. All marsh rules apply except where modified below. 2. I couldn't find an example on a map, but...

    Hungarian Vehicle Note 7. 38M Toldi I and Hungarian Vehicle Note 14. 39M Csaba 20L MA

    From what little I can glean from researching the weapons in these vehicles, both appear to be 20mm 36M AT rifles (almost identical to the Solothurn s18-1100). And while the presence of an ATR is indicated in the vehicle note for the MA of the Toldi I, the historical blurb of the 39M Csaba...

    Belgian Vehicle Note 15: T-13 Type II(b)

    May the T-13 Type II(b) move while its turret is aligned with the VCA (or a side CA)? I don't see anything in the vehicle note specifically prohibiting this. The descriptive portion of the note does state that: And as the photo below suggests, driving with the turret facing forward (or to...

    E11.252 "A radioless AFV platoon (D14.2) leaves a Convoy to use non-Convoy movement as a single entity, with all its AFV completing their MPh using platoon movement." 1. During its MPh, one of two (or three) ADJACENT radioless AFV in a Convoy gains LOS to a KEU at the end of an Impulse. May...

    QF 3-pounder Hotchkiss TK#

    Looking for someone with naval/gunnery expertise. The QF 3-pounder Hotchkiss (Canon Hotchkiss à tir rapide de 47 mm on French ships) dates back to the 1880s. I've had a look at the various types of ammo used by these guns prior to and during WW2. There doesn't appear to have been an AP round...

    A15.2, A18.2, and Chapter O CG11.

    If a leader is created during CC by a (Fanatic) Russian MMC in a Factory Location, does the leader remain Fanatic, even if it subsequently leaves the Factory? IOW, is its Fanaticism permanent?

    O9.1 Storage Tanks and Fortifications

    Given that a Storage Tank is not a building, what fortifications apart from mines may be set up in a Storage Tank hex? B26.1 appears to allow wire. Ditto B27.1, which seems to permit entrenchments. Pillboxes are a no go.

    Festung Budapest: Did the Hungarians use T-60s in Buda?

    Looking to confirm (or dismiss) the claim (in a recent book on the subject) that the Hungarians fielded T-60s and at least one R35 during the siege of Budapest. The photo below appears to confirm that they were present in or near the city at some point. Hungarian author Balázs Mihályi claims...

    A24.1 and D13.35 SMOKE Placement dr 6

    Should A24.1 read "If the SMOKE Placement dr is an Original "6," the squad" must immediately end its MPh in its current Location? Or must a CX squad that rolls a dr 5 on its SMOKE Placement dr immediately end its MPh? D13.35 (and F.10) suggests to me that A24.1 is referring to an Original "6."

    DASL19 (aka Deluxe A13 and Z12) VC

    The VC in the 2019 version of Deluxe A13 The Mailed Fist (originally published in ASL Annual ’95) is conditional upon woods/building hexes ADJACENT to the defined road, while the original VC is conditional upon woods/building Locations. Is the change deliberate? If not, should “hexes” in the...

    DASL19 The Mailed Fist (aka A13 and Z12)

    Looking for an interesting ETO DASL scenario to play face-to-face this autumn, something I haven't played before. I had a look at the differences between the A13 version published in Annual '95 and DASL19. The A13 version heavily favoured the French (they won about 77% of the time according to...

    C2.2401 Gun Duel Questions

    1. Apart from the +3/+4 DRM for being Thrown (and possibly, unqualified/captured use and CX), what would the (Firer-based) Gun Duel DRM for a DEFENDER Thrown DC comprise? a. Would it include any (additional) "DC Position DRM" (C7.346)? b. Would it include a +3 DRM if Thrown from a vehicle (I'm...

    Croix de Guerre vehicle counters in other than French Blue

    Still trying to organize my nifty new French OB, and thought I recalled a relatively recent thread that explained why certain vehicles are not provided in French Blue. 1. Consider the Carrier AC(b), which is only available in tan livery (as it was in the 1992 edition). (Or the Autocanon de 40...
