Re: First time posting
Mike, glad you got them, and I hope you enjoy your first game. As I've said before this is the first set of rules I have produced, and I've done all I can to ensure they make sense, but in some

First time posting
Thanks for your prompt sending of the rules. I have read through them twice now and they look very interesting. We will be trying them on Saturday. By the way I saw you listed on Modmil

Charlie Don't surf
My group would very much like to playtest ' Charlie Don't Surf'. The title alone peaked their interest. :P Thanks for the offer. -Steve

Re: first playtest game-very long post!
Steve Listing of factors. The factors are only suggestions, I believe that there are far too many unquantifiables to list them all, as such I have probably not listed enough. Mea Culpa. I have,

Re: first playtest game-very long post!
Hi Richard, The snapshot explaination makes sense. I think that the problem arose since 'snapshot' was not listed in the '- factors'. When we played we rationalized that snapshot was your

Scenario of the Month
Gentlemen The Second in our Scenario of the Month Series has been posted this morning, it's certainly a contrast to the small primer that I suggested last month. For newcomers I would not

Steve The bazooka would not get aimed as he moved first, infantry can have an aimed shot, but if he nips out, pops off a quickie and then ducks back (or attempts to!) then it's hardly marksmanship

Re: first playtest game-very long post!
Hi Richard, Thanks for your quick response. Actually the Panther got the extra fire card because in fact we didn't have a AT gun model for the game :P ,and I did figure it would be a 'pillbox'

Re: first playtest game-very long post!
Steve Did you get things right? Well, you had fun, so yes. Don't worry about your yanks failing, you will certainly find that the Brits you are painting will pull them out of the proverbial.

first playtest game-very long post!
First off, thanks to Richard Clarke and Nick Skinner for writing IABSM which my group thoroughly enjoyed playing last Sunday. We played on a 6'X4' table with 2 American platoons of 3 sections of

Boccage crossing
Steve, one more point I've though of. The issue of giving German AT strikes the rear armour factor for belly shots is absolutely fine, however they won't automatically get this advantageous shot

Re: Thanks and more questions and Boccage!
Steve Glad to be of help. If anyone queries anything just make up the answer and tell them I said so;-) Softskins have no armour factor. You still roll to hit, as per normal, and then roll the

Thanks and more questions and Boccage!
Thanks Richard for your quick response! It's great to have the author helping one along plus there's the satisfaction of quoting you during the game..." that's not what he meant...is too!"[ I love

Re: questions before first game!
Panzerschrecks and bazookas.....more thoughts. Having thought about it for a moment, I would suggest a good way to play these weapons (and AT rifles) would be to say that they operated as AT guns

Re: questions before first game!
Steve Hopefully this sorts you out. Question 1 Reserving Dice Platoon Cards When the card turned over is one of your Platoon Cards, the sections within that unit may utilise some or all of their

Hi Richard and the rest of the Too Fat Lardies group! Sunday I'll be running my first game and last night ran thru the rules with a couple other gamers. Overall they liked the initiative dice

I've had an interesting question raised off list that I thought worth reproducing here. Support Weapon cards, how many should there be? When the rules were first written I envisaged one Support
