Any scans of (pic related)?
Chain of Command's campaign system got a second edition. I've read through it and here are my thoughts>It clarifies a lot of the vagaries from the first edition. Who does what and when is now much easier to understand.>Character generation has had some good changes. Now your leaders' personality and background will give them small bonuses or maluses. Seems fun to play with.>Between-battle campaign decisions are interesting. There are some new actions a player can take and previous actions have been reworded in an easier to understand way.>They are moving away from replacing men in a dwindling platoon to having a few full replenishments. There still are rules for replacing a portion of a platoon as before, but its noted as a minor balancing tool.This may seem like a big change. Going from one platoon that can replenish a handful of men a few times a campaign to having multiple full platoons seems to shake it up. However the reasoning behind this change is made clear with the next point.>Support infantry units now have to deploy after all core infantry units have been deployed. Any men lost from these support units count towards your platoon losses total.>Loss of support units such as AT guns now factors into your CO opinion roll, meaning you can't be so suicidal with them either.In v1 the loss of any man was devastating and since your platoon would almost always be under strength after the first battle. Replenishments often failed to fill out the platoon, and they returned less men when you were losing. People used to cheese this by using their supports near suicidally and holding their core platoon in reserve. This is no longer a sensible strategy and plays into the core theme of the game better: you are managing men! Now all your forces matter, though to balance it they are easier to replenish.1/2
>>97101248Some more minute changes I enjoy>Instead of recovering a flat number of men post battle from morale advantage, you get a number of "medic rolls" instead which you can distribute to heal certain people over others. It adds some busywork but it is an interesting system.>Awarding medals has been simplified in a good way, and your officer's outlook has some added depth. My favorite being they can become a drunkard if they lose enough.The most interesting part of the new book is the expanded back section which explains how to create your own campaign in the style of the official campaign books>A lot is written about finding a good scenario and how to apply the CoC mission types to fit it>An example is given of how to set up interesting maps and how you can subtly favor the attacker or defender>Concrete numbers are given on how to calculate the number of reinforcements per side, on how support points should be adjusted per game, new faction-specific campaign actions, and how to create wild cardsOverall I am happy with the book. Much like Chain of Command v2 this book refines the existing core systems and removes the rules that made the game behave against RAI. Unfortunately for me the book directly suggests that players should not plan very long campaigns of a full double sided ladder with up to 17 games played. Totally cut down my planned Battle of Tula campaign. However I will put it on the back burner for a small 8 game campaign about the Soviet counter attack at Brody in 1941. Should be fun!
>>97095972Pretty happy with how the shield is turning out. Will have to clean it up ofc.
>>97101248>>97101355Got any writeup for the basic CoC2 changes, or where/when to look for it? I haven't tried out the new edition yet, but from what I've heard I'm cautiously optimistic.
>>97101248>>97101355Thanks a ton for that, good post
>>97103498I hate good posts.
Is the new Azincourt Grand Battle scale range from Wargames Atlantic suitable for battles of the Wars of the Roses?Are the armor sets accurate? Are any troop types missing?
>>97105381Some units like the European Mercs sureThe knights don't look too far off that that scale tbqh but the composition is a little different. You want more billmen and bows. But they don't look worlds off... 1485 is more full plate, billhooks, even more mounted infantry, shields becoming scarce...veterans of the hyw especially English archers fought in Italy as mercs
happy with progress so far.
>>97105381Knights could work, although the designs are signifigantly different from 1415 to 1488, but at a distance its hard to notice From Bascinets and houndskulls to sallets and armets. However war of the roses has a signifigant amount of billmen which is different from agincourt which to my knowledge was mostly just the heavy men at arms and the bowmen, with little to no lighter dedicated polearm users (THough IMO I think agincourt would have had a decent amount of lighter dedicated melee too since I have a hard time believing the men at arm’s support elements were just archers without significant melee clientele.)
>>97102541You can find CoCv2 in the rick roll trove, its the book with the orange cover.Overall, I would say its an objective improvement in every way>Chain of Command points can be used to trigger weaker effects than a full CoC Die. Leads to some more dynamic situations and gives players more tools to defend against double phases>Double phases now give your opponent a CoC point, feeding into that previous point. There's more CoC points floating around in general this edition, but not too many that it becomes the focus. This isn't like Warhammer stratagem shit>The old veterancy system is largely gone, Green-Regular-Elite are closer together in effectiveness. Green troops suffers double the effects of shock than Regular troops, and Elite troops generate more CoC points than Regular troops. Playing a Green platoon isn't suffering anymore, playing against Elite troops isn't annoying anymore>Close combat saw some tweaks, it doesn't absolutely nuke both sides anymore. Casualties in close combat have been halved, so you are more likely to see multiple rounds and the larger squad is less likely to be slaughtered by a handful of guys with an LMG>Lots of balance tweaks to support lists. Elite platoons are cheaper, flamethrowers are more expensive, all non-vehicle supports got cheaper>Many national characteristics saw tweaks, Soviets got a huge overhaul so they aren't using meme enemy at the gates tactics anymore (though you still can!)>Scenarios got changed and are more restrictive on what you can bring. No more bringing a tiger tank to a patrol game. They also added countdown mechanics to the objective oriented scenarios. If the attacker can't take the position in time (or if the defender can't recapture it) they will route>Vehicles are easier to control but slightly less powerful, still dominate the field but you can do more about themOverall I love this edition and I would recommend anyone to make the move
>>97108026>You can find CoCv2 in the rick roll troveI'll find one in my parcel locker tomorrow, I was asking for a short version, which is much appreciated.Would you say CoC2 is more gamey, or still in the same place on the realist-gamist continuum as CoC1?(also holy shit, gas your dudes with some light matte mist)
>>97108167I'll should get a matte mist you're right, I need to do more detailing on them too I was just getting them to a tabletop standard for a game.I would say it's about as realistic as before, the core rules are pretty much the same. The CoC point system doesn't feel gamey since it's just stuff like putting your squad into tactical stance after they get shot at, and stuff like that.Something I forgot to mention but scouts are way better. You can make them move for only 1 CoC point and they are highly unlikely to hurt your morale if you lose them. Much more emphasis on playing a game a bit slower and taking ground with recon
>>97108246Good to know, I was pleasantly surprised with CoC1 promoting more realistic/historical scenarios compared to gamey shit like FoW/BA, glad to hear it hasn't been lost in chasing "balance".
>>97108448The only real big balance changes were to flamethrowers. Vehicle flamethrowers are much more expensive and infantry flamethrowers can only be taken during assaults on fortified positions, as they were used historically.
current freehand work of banner of Paris on a shield. still need to clean up those fluer de lis but either my brush or my hand isnt good enough for it yet
Played some Bolt Action tonight, British 8th Army against Fallschirmjaegars supported by armor in Italy or Greece. It was a Breakthrough scenario and I won by zooming a Dorchester with some troops across the map, then turtling up with my artillery. Gameplay felt fairly unsatisfying because it was just too simple. I want to try Chain of Command, might be happening Sunday.
>>97108167Take this with a grain of salt as I’ve only played two games of the new edition, but it definitely feels a bit more gamey than first edition. I don’t think that’s necessarily a bad thing - the CoC points make it much more interactive than before when it’s your opponent’s turn. I think the react fire in particular sort of negates the point of overwatch as you’ll nearly always have enough points to react with troops if someone moves into your lane.But otherwise agreed with other poaster - second edition is an improvement on the best WW2 set
I cannot find those anywhere (checked various troves), I'm looking for two old wargames:- Battlefront WWII (by Fire & Fury Games)- Frank Chadwick, Command Decision: Test of Battle (aka CD4)
Anyone by chance have the most recent TTS medieval army lists? Thanks
>>97110743React fire is a weaker version of overwatch since it only work against enemy infantry movement and doesn't react to incoming fire
>>97111108>Frank Chadwick, Command Decision: Test of Battle (aka CD4)Command Decision has been added to Rick Roll Trove.Test of Battle scan is not great but is present.I have also added Bolt Action Armies of The Soviet Union
>>97110704I'll have to try Chain of Command some time, when I'm in the mood for more granularity. I really like Bolt Action though, its the perfect game for knocking out a few beers with the fellas.
>>97113338Me and a buddy play "Beer of Command" where every beer we drink gives us a chain of command point.
Looking to do some kitbashes. Wanted to ask if anyone here knew of any non-monopose 28mm WW2 plastic ranges. I know Perry has a selection but haven't been able to find much else.
>>97119845Wargames Atlantichttps://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/world-ablazeVictrixhttps://www.victrixlimited.com/collections/28mm-wwiiAnd Warlord Games, for the largest rangehttps://store.warlordgames.com/collections/bolt-action
Speaking of WW2 the Warlord Americans come with lots of cool bits but not enough M1 rifles so i'm using the plastic box for my officer/medic/NCO's/runners etc but i'll be short on riflemen. Who makes good late war metal riflemen to fill out my squads? I was looking at Artizan designs.
>>97120346Empress but those are actually good sculpts unlike the Warlord gorillas.
>>97120346Artizan will match decently with Warlord, also being chunky/cartoony figures. Empress are OK height-wise, but are more properly-proportioned and don't look "heroic".
>watch video on using wash>hmm okay>do it myself>it looks like they're spattered with mud
Any decision paralysis man in?Choosing a scale to do WWII in is hell.Head says 15mm for a catch all scale that, with increasing abstraction, would allow for large actions, heart says 28mm or AB's excellent 20mm figures. Grand tactical actions would require two scales which would eat into future project time and money.
>>97110337im thinking the bottom bit looks great
>>97121499ive thinned my washes to held mitigate this.
>>97122900If you want to do big actions, AND save money and time. 6mm is great. Relatively cheap compared to other scales (can spend around 250 USD and two BIG armies), and very quick to paint and prepare.For example, this would cost you 110 USD from Heroics and Ros:>Wehrmacht:4x Pz.

>>97122900Pick rules to wargame first.
>>97121499That's a common mistake, I think. You need to make sure that there's no pooling. It might not look too bad once you're applying it, but once it dries it will look like shit if you let it pool. Look up "Marine Juice" videos, maybe that kind of thinned down wash is easier to apply for you.
>>97124927I'll give it a watch. They're 15mm WW2 infantry so it's not too much of a loss if I butcher them. First time I'll be playing anything with actual minis, I've always played hex and chit before.
>>97110337>those lillieslmao, but the boat looks excellent
Trying out Chain of Command 2E tomorrow. Anyone got any good references for two people new to the system? I've printed a couple chain of command trackers and such
>>97122900I like 15mm. The Victrix 12mm look cool, but I can't really find any other 12mm makers and they're limited in what they offer. Like they have the British 8th Army but not the Afrika Korps. If they did I think I'd pick some stuff up, but for my North Africa games I went with some forged in battle stuff (15mm).
>>97129024>The Victrix 12mm look cool, but I can't really find any other 12mm makers and they're limited in what they offer.12mm Victrix are compatible with Pendraken 10mm.And maybe with printed ranges like Plastic Soldiers Company

>>97129804Last time I checked , popular hwgs are just middle aged guys having an excuse to gather at shops and canvas who theyre going to fuck . i still remember the "big Coc" cringe from a month ago here>>97126034You dont have to fall into the nonsense that infested modern hwgs where people are sharing their 10 hour 6mm stand that they need to make another 50 of. Put your dudes on the table and stand as far back as you would be during a game. Paint it based on that standard and youll see how much time you can save while still having a great play experience
>>97130892>Last time I checked , popular hwgs are just middle aged guys having an excuse to gather at shops and canvas who theyre going to fuck . i still remember the "big Coc" cringe from a month ago here
>>97130930Go to shops. Hwgs are only good when its the seniors with their lead models mixed into the groups. If you actually play games youll see the red flags of 40 year olds playing historicals

Anyone have any ideas what I should paint for the knight in the front left? I'm thinking something primarily white cause thats one of the colors I dont have so much of with the front row if knights.(Also, I figured out how to do some better fleur-de-lis)
>>97122900I bought a kit for flames and war for me and bro, and it was fun. But 28mm just does something for me, fr. The biggest thing in my opinion is money. With smaller scale, buildings and terrain will also be smaller. Which I noticed heavily when I started wanting to do my own terrain. So a building 28mm scale is going to be like 30 total. While for 28mm you can get an up to 3 for that price, maybe even more. So if you want to focus more on playing, cheaper stuff, and are ok with smaller models but larger scale battles, smaller scale going to be nice. Otherwise, bigger scale is the move. Also, something no one mention is player base. In your area is there a group doing smaller scale? For me, there wasn't, it was mainly only Bolt Action or Chain and Command.
>>97130892>Put your dudes on the table and stand as far back as you would be during a gameLike I said, I play hex and chit so I'm not too worried about playing games with subpar minis. It's more a personal fulfillment thing. My mother is a painter and I'll feel like I've failed my family if I don't do this well. Scale is definitely small enough that mistakes don't stand out much.
>>97131294You could reframe your mindset. "Doing it well" doesnt have to mean award winning painting. And unless you paint red where it should be blue there's no mistakes. Doing it well can be the love, joy, and fulfilment of consistently having fun games. You can always upgrade paintjobs over time anyway. As long as the perfect paintjob isnt just disguised avoidance>>97130965>t. The grindr is installed on my phone as a joke mom! As a joke!
>>97131342>"Doing it well"For me that means having somewhat historical colors and not having minis that look like they were a tragic casualty in a squid milking accident.
Trying CoC for the first time. Fun so far. North Africa Brits vs Italians.
>>97122971>>97127328Thanks, I was suprised that I got the ship design mostly accurate.Here I went back and redid the lillies, still a bit shaky, but I think they actually look like the fleur de lis now.

If we aren't planning on using magic and mostly focusing on. Which is better Dragon or Lion rampant? Dragon has war beasts (elephants?) and catapult mechanics, right? I have the 2nd edition LR PDF, but not Dragon.
>>97137696LolNothing is shared.
french spearmen
>>97143995fuck. I hate how you cant post pics on incognito mode.
>>97141818It's literally there retard.
Just to spur conversation; what are your favorite rulesets, /tg/? I'm interested in getting more into the historical side (mainly a Necromunda player) , and I'd like to see what rules/eras tge community finds the most fun.pic related is my "fuck it, I'll do historical now" impulse buy
>>97144709forgot pic FUCK
>>97144111KEKNoYou are Great
>>97095668What are your opinions on Lion Rampant, /hwg/? I normally lurk the alternate wargames thread, and am looking at getting Dragon- and Xenos rampant, and I was curious how the historical roots stacked up. What rules do you all prefer? Which ones do you have experience with?I'm looking at medieval period skirmish games right now, aiming for around 20-50 minis per side. I know there are rules for the same size games in more modern periods (WW2 and the like), but I'm curious if there are any for Black powder era games?
>>97144709I love all of the Too Fat Lardies games, 7 Days to the River Rhine, Fistful of TOWs and Ravenfeast.
Will take better photos later.
>>97145587>the historical roots stacked upIt's very broad and will provide a fun game. I don't know why anybody would be seeking a "deep, historically accurate simulation" from moving 28mm knights around a 4 foot table.Find me an historically immersive ruleset that isn't just adding many extra steps to simple actions. It's not easy...
Bolt Action is getting a Video game adaptationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9gwH3acvJU
>>97145617Sick. Checking out Ravenfeast now
Why don't more people do 20mm napoleonics?If a major draw of the period is the uniforms it seems like a great balance between playability and detail
>>97149108>great balance between playability and detailThis statement is so pointless and makes absolutely no sense.
>>97149539nta but the comprehension issue is on your end, and at least discussion about wargaming is inherently less pointless than you projecting being a retard
>>97149619nta, but the use of the term "retarded" demonstrates how pointless any discussion with you is.
>>97146120Great work, anon, as always
>>97149108I want big lines. Big lines means big fun as I always say.
>>97144709I'm an airplane autist so Aerodrome and Check Your 6. All the Lardies games are really fun too.
>>97149108>Why don't more people do 20mm napoleonics?Sorry but 18mm is far better with greater balance between playability and detail
>>97151418I prefer 19mm as it gets the perfect compromise between playability and detail
>>97153138retard take made by retards. Those with more than 100 IQ tend towards the use of 18.5mm, which achieves the objective middle ground between playability and detail.
For me it's 6mm, nestled gently in the crossroads of affordability and cramability
>>97155551Au contraire, truescale 15mm affords true massYou know as much as I can't stand you nasty, contrarian psychos it's honestly a better flowing exchange than some corners of the Binternet. I generally think some of the far right stuff veers a bit rich but I was reading something on a much more "progressive" platform about people's opinion of the American civil War and it reads like this:>The North were like cuddly phlegmatic Jeff Daniels at Little Round Top mixed with Antifa>The South were scum and if you like their more cavalier approach to battle, you are endorsing their outmoded understanding of human rights>atrocities are ok when it's fash civilians like Ellie May and Cletus the Moonshine ManI'm sorry, but slavery is bad AND Dixie is the more fun side to wargame.
>>97156046Man I had a lot of Irregular 6mm and I gave it to a kid on this site. I sure hope he enjoyed it. Dad was a nice bloke
>>97156299I agree that 15mm is an excellent scale, big enough to provide good detail but small enough that achieving visual mass is simple.
>>97156299>Au contraire, truescale 15mm affords true massC'est n'importnawak.As Warlord Games demonstrated with its epic scale, true mass is only achieved with 13.5mm miniatures.
Bolt Action bros surely this will help us compete with 40k...
Are any of you on Lead Adventure Forum? Someone needs to tell the administrator there that people can't retrieve passwords or make new accounts; the site just sends an email with a string of random numbers and letters, not a link.
>>97157128>>97156299Memes aside, I agree.To bad my sunk cost is in finishing my 28mm army.After that, and maybe after making a dark angels 40k army ive always had as a guilty pleasure, I promise myself I WILL start a 15mm 3rd crusade army.
>>97162519My 28mm c.1415 army so far. Really its 2 armies that I plan to either play seperately against one another probably using lion rampent (Half are french half are english), or use them all together to play larger scale games.All I need to do to complete the set now is finish painting like 6 more infantry, the cannon, and get a second box of Mounted knights for the French.
>>97156309That's a child of elegant and refined tastes, for sure. What kind of stuff was it?
>>97156299Ill have you know that slavery is good AND the Yankies is the more fun side to wargame.
>>97156299>>97162850Since I value consensus above all else, I adopted the perfect compromise by considering slavery Good and the Southerners the most fun to play.

>>97162574Fuck me dude, clean your desk.
>>97162519Shame that Legio Heroica isn't in business, they had such excellent 15mm ranges, including a third crusade range.
>>97140318I reckon dragon rampant would have a bit more granularity and you could even represent gunpowder weapons with the "bodkin" rule for ranged weapons (ie. Sixes cause two hits). Greater warbeasts could represent elephants well, they can hurt your own troops while they retreat.
>>97165653I like your army and effort, if only it wasn't for the fact that you went with those shitty and ugly Games Workshop bases >>97166257>Lion/Dragon Rampant >granularity Lol
Where do you get Napoleonic uniform reference guides? Is there some big bible somewhere that is filled with tons of pics with all the nations uniforms? Something like pic related, but for infantry, cavalry, artillery, etc.? How am I supposed to decide what unit to paint if I can't compare what all their uniforms look like?? I looked at the Ospreys in the OP and they are 95% text. How useful is a reference book when it's TEXT instead of actual VISUALS?

>>97166525>Shitty GW baseshm what do you mean? Like compared to flatter round bases? I could see them looking extra nice with them being flush to the movement tray, but I think they look fine doctored up.
>>97165909yep, these guys look sweet.
>>97166944Ive mentioned it before but my plan was to make most units have that signiture medieval collage of different heraldries and colors, but make my elite units regimented single color religious order troops. Maybe Hospitallers so all black. Making a clear contrast between the normal troops and the elites.
>>97166560There's no definitive guide.The uniformology of the First Empire is a very complicated subject and can drive you crazy if you're a bit too autistic. All nations of the time experienced changes in regulations, and it's sometimes difficult to know when a particular modification was adopted.In any case, there are always differences between the regulations and the realities on the ground.Furthermore, some nations suffer from the fact that information about them is based on false sources, repeated ad nauseam in books about them.You just need to clearly define what you want to paint and then search in books or online.It's smarter to start with a specific order of battle and research the uniforms of those units rather than choosing your units based on their uniforms.
>>97166525I said that dragon rampant has more granularity than lion rampant, which is correct.
So lets talk Successor armiesI am thinking about doing some Ptolomies because Egypt with greeks is top tier. What would a Ptolomic force look like? All I know is:Ptolomy armies had Hello Kitty characters on there shields, Chococat being the most popularSelecids loved MLP and each solider had their own cutie markLysimachid preferred HamtaroAnd Antigond were strong supporters of Monster HighSource: Plutarch
>>97166560>>97167127There is.The Digby Smith book from DK or Bruce Quarrie (John Curry reprint). The colour plates in the former explain some example actions and the lwtter has the full OOB context if that matters to you. That said I lean into it a bit (campaign uniform) because I weather some of my guys and it's not like my paint jobs don't simplify some details. I just generally try and stay around Peninsular War vibes...ie lot of light infantry and cavalry, easy on the heavy artillery and cavalry. Some surprises like Irish units on both sides and both Middle Guard and Lancers doing well, surprised to read how few guns were brought...codes and scouting a big component
>>97167215Yeah I'd agree insofar as you can stretch it to cover more troop types. Still I thought LR 2 was more than just a nice reprint and will be trying it out >>97170633Best "Successor" is Mithridates even though he's just some bloke from Pontus. If you do Marians vs him you get THE grab bag of legionaries, celts, phlanagites, parthians, thracians, spanish slingers. It's like "best of the hits of the Ancients" in the same way Punic Wars is
>>97170723>It's like "best of the hits of the Ancients"That would only be true if you have war elephants.You can not convince me anything in history of war was as cool as a big stompy Pah-roo!
>>97170759Well that's why I mentioned Punics, if you did either you'd get such a good spread from the Classical Period. But me, I'm doing Late Rome/Goths/early Saxons... although I am pretty sure the Marians had some elephants from the Jugurthine War. Idk I'm a himbo
>>97170792still I am hankering to paint some ptolomiesI'm thinking a core of spear men with pokies, companion cavalry, and then some local auxillaries with slings.I know that actual ethinc egyptians would be a part of the army but I need some range

Did anyone get WWIII: Checkpoint Charlie or think it's interesting?
Finally finished the box of french infantry, at least to tabletop play levels. Might add a wash an some grass later.Now I got my english army complete, and all of the french but the cavalry complete.
Some acceptable photos of my knights now. Glad heraldry was still simple during the 12th and 13th centuries.28mm Barons War minis by Footsore that I'm using for the Barons War Outremer expansion. The one in red is my leader, the historical figure Conrad of Montferrat, one of the leaders during the third crusade and was instrumental in preventing Saladin from capturing Tyre and later being elected king of Jerusalem before being murdered by the Assassins. His standard bearer flies the blazon of Jerusalem but his shield indicates he's from Ibelin.
>>97173903>>97174759Nicely done lads!
Any ideas for a good storage case for a bunch of 15mm minis? I was thinking magnetic if possible. Bases are all metal.
Is there a PDF of the new FoW Pacific book floating around?
>>97171362>>97176479Both are in Rick Roll Trove.I'm wondering, though, if it's worth maintaining this Trove.It's buried among the OP's other links so nobody looks at its content, and nobody recommends it when someone is looking for a rule.And on top of that, we have idiots who post bad links and get their kicks from trolling rather than helping their fellow wargamers.
>>97177126I'm visually impaired, so maybe that's why I couldn't find Checkpoint Charlie in the Rick Roll trove.It's a useful trove, and far from a rick-roll in the sense of just containing a Rick Astley video
>>97177645To be fair, I added Checkpoint Charlie in Team Yankee folder after your request.

>>97181084I mean hot...but if you control the breadbasket of the ancient world, with a river that floods so consistently, you can set your watch by it, the greatest monuments in the world and cute kitty cats running around, you automatically become a 10/10 to would be rulers
When did slings go out of style en masse?You'd think the fact that are so much cheaper to make and maintain they would have hung around longer
Really like Horse caparison, gives you a lot of surface are for designs. its like having a wavy canvas.

>>97095704Has anyone gotten around to uploading PDFs of the SAGA supplements that aren't currently in the trove link so far? Such as Age of Alexander, Age of Hannibal and Age of Chivalry, for example.
>>97188923Yes, it's really pathetic that we don't have an update to the troves.
>>97182690Misuse of the term en masse>>97185554Untrue, it's just that the difference between a pro slinger and a levy slinger is hundreds of hours of training and cast lead shot.

>>97189357Ugh your grammar sucks tooPeasantsPeasants everywhere
Any Napoleonic chads here can tell me, which European army wore the most similar uniform for 1812 Americans??No one really makes any good 1812 Americans so Im planning on using some Europeans from Perry and painting them as Americans, do you know which nation has the most similar cut for American uniforms?
>>971925511815 British are similar to US line infantry, same shako, etc. although there was a lot of variety in US uniforms, particularly early on.
>>97189398Who do you think is going to man all those slings, Lord Fancytrousers?
Anyone have any knowledge of Italian Grigio Verde uniforms that leaned heavily into the blue? I have read some earlier uniforms did but all the stuff online is recolours and the actual surviving uniforms all look more green/grey than blue. I should probably just strip this guy and try again with the new paints .
>>97189351>Untrue, it's just that the difference between a pro slinger and a levy slinger is hundreds of hours of training and cast lead shot.Ok compare a strip of leather and lead shot to all to resources a single archer needs. Composite bows are expensive, need maintenance and that's before the ammo

>>97180700Plz? Is clash of spears worth it for a low model historical game?
I have always fantasized about being a hussar, but the truth is I am much too tall and heavy, I would have been forced into the roll of cuirassier... so unglamorous.. I would have to beg and hope they allowed me to at least serve as a dragoon as some consolation
>>97193847Imbecile, cuirassiers were the most prestigious and high status cavalry you could be in, besides being in a special unit like Napoleons guard/chasseurs á cheval. Dragoons were the lowest prestige cavalryman and the LEAST glamourous. It's a difficult matter to even explain what the purpose of having dragoons in the Napoleonic era is. No kid in 1800-1815 ever said they want to be a dragoon when they grow up.
>>97193938Dragoons were kino, easily the most versatile and useful cav. Need someone to secure and hold a bridge, river crossing, village, crossroad, etc. before infantry arrive? Dragoon. Need someone to reinforce a failed heavy cav charge? Dragoon. Light cav would get mauled Need someone to escort important person, ambulance, wagon, etc.? Dragoon. Need infantry ASAP, but infantry can't get there fast enough? Dragoon.

>>97206907Im interested in an 'interwar period ruleset' for a project I'm mulling, but im not familiar with anything out there. Ive seen battle reports of a Very British Civil War, and Ive seen A Wotld Aflame mentioned, but that's it. Do the lads of /hwg/ have sny favorites they can suggest?
>>97206907Yes
>>97207199If you want a suitable answer, give us more details.
>>97207346Right. It's meant for a series of games based in my part of Canada in an alternate history where a civil war broke out in between ww1 and ww2. That got me interested in VBCW, which seems to be a setting rather than a ruleset.I prefer 28mm, and Im more interested in skirmish level games than large engagements. However, a game that is easily scalable would work out great.Im picturing confusing, raggedy ass street engagements and small rural dust-ups where multiple factions weigh in.
>>97207199>a Very British Civil WarI've never heard of this but it's a cool idea. The idea of burning your country down because your king married a slag is a bit silly though.
>>97207412Any WWI or WW2 will be OKBolt Action or Chain of Command, Nuts or FiveX for skirmish games.But theses rules fit well:https://www.destrancheesauxbarricades.com/index.php/product/rulebook-des-tranchees-aux-barricades-english-version-late-pledge/The point of this kind of hypothetical conflict escapes me, and I wonder how you're going to find suitable figurines.
>>97207754It is meant to be a bit silly. Suffragettes, Mosley's fascists and top hat wearing city bankers shooting it out while the Royal Mail rocket teams bombard the Socialists. It'll work great for a Canadian confederation war.
>>97208034The point is to have fun. As for suitable miniatures, I think any mix of Interwar style British/Canadian troops and contemporary armed civilians would work. Im thinking- british/Canadian troops- commie militias- rural types with guns- various character type minisShouldn't be too hard. Footsores 1914-1939 line looks pretty good
>>97208109The goal isn't to kill Quebec separatists!?No US intervention!?Where's the fun in that?
>>97208170Nah, we booted the frogs ages ago, save for the crowd on the Port aux Port. Newfoundland.https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/politics/riot-april-05-1932.phphttps://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/politics/economic-crisis-1929-1934.phpThe Great Depression, and the usual political malfeasance, devastated Newfoundland. So much so that we had our democracy suspended and were ruled by a committee of Brits and a Canadian, with the backing of the banks. Anywhere else, this would have been the point where the communists, fascists, freikorps and others would have come out now the woodwork. Newfoundlanders treat government like weather, though, and just trudged on. Still its interesting to theorize what a civil war in the Dominion would have looked like.
I've taught my son to play different merseyverse games. Today he wanted to play lion rampant. Muscovites repelled the vile tartar slave raiders, mainly due to the firepower of the streltsy. Muscovite cavalry underperformed and were forced back by the tartar cavalry, but the streltsy took up positions in the woods and on the hill and swept the field clean of the heavy cavalry. The horse archers didn't have the fighting qualities of their Mongol forefathers and their feigned flights turned to real routs.
>>97208811Did they turn them into tartar sauce
>>97095668Not finished, but these will be my presents to some of my immediate family members. Throughout the year I asked them to see their various heraldry/coats of arms, and I am now painting up some knights based on each of thier colors.

Thoughts on the BP Epic Waterloo stuff? I had never payed much mind to it because Waterloo is not a campaign that I'm that interested, but a bunch of guys at the club have been playing it and I found a couple of second hand starter sets for very cheap. I'm seriously tempted to get the Prussian starter and join them. They also play with the ACW stuff.Btw the new captcha is fucking stupid.

So I want to get wargames and I downloaded Salerno '43 on Vassal as I heard that it's pretty simple for a game of its type. But I'm totally lost on what to do. What do I actually look for to get started? How do I make sense of the rulebook? Everything just has a layer of complexity that a guy used to playing vidya like me cannot comprehend
>>97218163>>97218181Actually that's supposed to be concrete. Crew often added it as field modification to give the vehicle a better ballistic shape. Sometimes only those parts on the model were covered, sometimes the entire superstructure like in this pic. Sometimes they also embedded spare track links or segments into the concrete for extra protection.
>>97218423Forgot pic.
>>97218245Welcome to the hobby anon. I would not agree that Salerno '43 is simple, all the Mark Simonitch '4X series assume some pretty deep familiarity with the genre and there is also building complexity within the series.As you have noticed VASSAL has no rules enforcement. This is good for when you want to learn to play a game on the table, where there is also no rules enforcement. You'll have to do everything yourself and understand how it all works from the rulebook. However that certainly can be a little overwhelming. A number of wargames do have implementations on Rally the Troops, Boardgame Arena or as a one-off. I myself started the hobby with the computer game Unity of Command, which is a perfect introduction. Another decent one is The Battle for Moscow which you can play against a bot here: https://oberlabs.com/b4m/.If you're playing two-handed I highly recommend picking games with a chit pull activation system. Reds! is a great introductory one. With chit pull you're not moving everything and doing everything for one side all at once, just a couple units at a time. You're looking for games with no more than 16 pages of rules really, any more than that and you'll need to watch an explainer on youtube cause it's just too much to read and absorb.
>>97194831The napoleonics version of lion rampant should allow you to larp as Travis and Santa Ana. "Patriots and Rebels" I think. It's on the awg trove and probably on this general's troves too
>flames of war finally fucking balances Late-War>soviets and minor nations get meager changes>germany gets massive buffs for almost every single tank and panthers are now 7 pointsnever change flames of war
>>97218509thanks a lot! any other games you would recommend for solo play?
>>97221074Think I've already given you enough recommendations for a few dozen hours of play but oh well. For solo make sure to stay away from Card-Driven games. And again chit pull is your friend, after Reds you could play more Ted Raicer games like The Dark Sands. Ambon Burning Sun might be another good one, with the invasion mechanic you're not controlling enormous unwieldy forces which you struggle to forget which counters have moved, it's self-contained beach heads.Non-hex games I've recently enjoyed are Operation Bollebank and Habsburg Eclipse, which are dedicated solo only.I see that you are in a terrible timezone so I'm not going to offer any multiplayer with you but maybe someone else in this thread or in /bgg/ might.

Littlewars TV is running a campaign of Unternehmen Wintergewitter, the abortive attempt of Von Manstein to relieve the Stalingrad pocket in late 1942. This seems to be a pretty popular topic recently, Donnerschlag from VUCA sims is a hex 'n chit version of this battle.In any case they have produced a stripped down version of Fistful of TOWs and also this fantastic document with linked scenarios. This is really what I'm looking for in any wargaming ruleset. I fucking hate rulebooks with dozens upon dozens of pages of army lists and special rules but NO scenarios, or just a few generic ones without force compositions. Any recommendations for similar campaign / scenario booklets? Ideally with an overarching goal and decision tree of scenarios like this one?

>>97233205I take it you never read Dumas?
>>97233053British culture and history is comprised of them blowing hot air up their own asses. What's funny about the British is their ability to perform remarkably mediocre in a conflict but only remember the one or two instances where they did well. The Napoleonic Wars in particular is a hilarious one because the British take credit for defeating Napoleon, when the actual history of the Napoleonic wars is France fighting Austria, Prussia, and Russia over and over again. Britain essentially only had two battles worth remembering, Trafalgar and Waterloo, and that's why they love to glaze Nelson and Wellington. The British avoided France the entire time except some minor shit in the Peninsula where they were backed by Guerillas. Napoleon was defeated 100% in Russia , and Leipzig is really the end of the French Empire. Waterloo was just a death throe of an already defeated Napoleon. Even still, it's funny that the British claim credit for defeating Napoleon at Waterloo when Wellington couldn't do shit against the French, he just held on for dear life until he was rescue by Blücher. Blücher defeated Napoleon at Leipzig and Waterloo, yet they average Brit wouldn't be able to tell you who he is. As much as the British have grievances towards the French, the French were mogging them for all of history essentially. It's actually the Germans who have always been able to defeat the French in the end
>>97233321Even at the height of their power the British were constantly getting bitch slapped by spear chuckers due to sheer incompetence and corruption at the highest level
>>97233321>Pyramids>Talavera>Vimiero>Trafalgar>Quatre Bras>WaterlooWe can extrapolate that Britain was causing manlet wop rage during every phase of the Napoleonic wars you mean.

This is a ridiculously rough mockup since I don't have a historical-scale bloke to hand but I was thinking of doing a Soviet army that's "ghost styled" -- painted to look very bony and gaunt, hollow 'bleeding' eyes, completely black-and-white, stepping out of spectral mists and stuff, with the only colorful bits being their guns, red stars, and vehicles; the former picked out in red, the latter painted up to look burnt, damaged, rusty and damaged but still trundling on. Idea being it's "ooh ahhh it's ghosts of the war". Am I just off my melt or does this sound cool to anyone else?
>>97233463imagine hating brits so much you'd rather give the AUSTRIANS more credit for stopping the anti-christ bruh *I* could have walked on to a battlefield and done a better job than the hapsburgs

>>97228754I hate when retards post this picture without the text explanation. The german spaced armour is exclusively designed against AT rifles, doesn't work against shape charges. USA sandbacks are useless morale busters at best. The soviet one is actually a life saving tactic in urban environments were a grandpa with a panzerfaust could pop up from anywhere and blow up the tank, the tank riders were supposed to spot, kill or suppress any targets they could. They had way more situational awarness than the tank crew.
