According to the last EXC in A8.26, residual firepower from a mortar hit in woods is increased by one column to account for airburst. This is shown in the second part of the A8.26 example: EX: A hit with a 60mm mortar attacks an Open Ground Location on the 4 FP column and leaves 2 Residual...

I'm getting ready to play this scenario, which uses maps 14 and 17. Map 14 has a runway, and by SSR1 is "treated as an unpaved road." SSR2 also instructs us to, prior to setup, make a random dr to determine if an aircraft wreck exists for "each open ground hex which is adjacent to a runway hex...

I'm playing the HiF campaign game, getting ready to set up for the next day. Looking at the fortification purchase points (section 3.619), note 3 states: "...No more than 10% (FRU) of a side's infantry squad-equivalents (and any SW stacked with them) may set up using HIP. Guns and their...

If you're in the Washington DC area, please consider joining us for our next game day on Saturday, 23 September, starting at 0800. SK players are welcome. We have a great location in Fairfax VA. PM me for more details.

The unbroken morale for Italian 1st line, 2nd line, and conscripts squads and half-squads are all 6. However, the broken side morale for 1st line squads is 5, for second line squads is 6, and for conscripts it is 5. For half-squads, the broken side morale for 1st line squads is 4, for second...

A squad starts in S4. It uses bypass movement in R4 along the R4-S5 hexside, and then moves into R5. It takes 1 MF to bypass R4, but how many MFs does it take to then enter R5? Does the S5-R5 hedge hexside cause it to expend 2 MFs to move into R5, or does it only cost 1 MF because while in...

I will be at the USMA 12-15 June. Is there anybody there who would like to get in a game? I checked the players map and didn't see anyone.

In the SW Chart, there is a one "1" in some of the entries. What does this refer to?

The following three rules citations seem to make it clear that if any units, including MMCs and leaders, are loading and unloading onto a vehicle, that they are limited to 4 MFs, and that the leader bonus does not apply. A4.11: The MF allotment of a SMC is reduced to four MF if it mounts...

The German HMG in N5 fires on the American squad in J6 and wants to establish a fire lane. Where would this lane be located? The target is not along the hex grain from N5 - J7, and it's outside the fire lane going down the hex sides from N5 - J5. I've read A9.22 and A9.221 several times but...

There is an FFE:C counter on the board. It's the PFPh, and the side with the FFE:C counter rolls for radio contact, and fails. I'm a little confused about what happens next. This case doesn't seem to be covered by the flowchart (or maybe I'm missing it). C1.22 says: This: "but failure to...

I have all of the core modules clipped, sorted, and stored. Now I'm starting to do the same with historical modules, such as Red Factories, Hatten in Flames, and Sword and Fire. How do people organize the counters from these modules? Do they just take the Russian counters from RF and store...

What kind of terrain is the thick black line next to the gully in hexes F1 and G1 of deluxe board d? Thanks in advance.

The British mortar in N7 wants to fire smoke on hex F3. There is a German unit in the ground level of F3. Since this is out of LOS of the mortar, according to C6.2, Case K applies and there is a +2 DRM on the TH attempt. But if the German unit was not in F3, then Case K would not apply. Or...

Say a mortar is firing on a unit in a 1-3-5 pillbox 7 hexes away. TH=7, and according to B30.113, the NCA DRM of 5 applies. Say he rolls 1,1 on the TH attempt. According to C3.7, this could result in a CH. What is confusing me is the part of C3.7 that is quoted below. Since a 1,1 was the lowest...

I’m clipping and sorting counters from Hakkaa Paalle. What do the stars and numbers mean on these counters? I searched Chapters D, E.1, and H, but could not find them. Thanks in advance.

I have played exactly one game of VASL, so I'm still learning. I've come across a couple of issues which probably has a simple solution, but I can't seem to figure it out. I configured by LOS tool to show different colors when LOS is hindered or blocked. It works fine when I load the map...

I'm a pretty experienced SK player, and played my first game on VASL last weekend. I'm still getting used to the interface but have mostly figured it out. I'm off work from 9-13 April. Ideal day would be Saturday (11 April), but could also play Thursday, Friday, or Monday. I can't play...
