Just one zero>? That probably represents deflation, the state the Logosian economy is in

This may be the wrong thread but...
Question re the shooting rules for Missiles. They are described as having AT Capability as have all Tank and Towed Guns and RCL. How is this AT Capability reflected in the Shooting?
Mike.

Julian, if I didn't like the criticism I wouldn't have asked. Advise duly noted. I ve only use the transportation once so far. So might re distribute the 15 points and only have one walking ? Or collect all 30 points and push out the extras ?

[Colonel Kilgore]

Miles,
You just know you want more tanks

Hello Mike

Missile receives no shooting modifier bonus at a target (armoured or otherwise), but it is not penalised against armour or helicopter in the way that small arms/mortars and HMG are (-3).  Missile does also have the re-roll shooting option.

See my comment in the Waging War thread, last post, where i talk about surface to air missiles.

Julian

Julian,
Thanks it is now very clear.
Mike

Julian, just another clipLe of points for you.
After a Close Assualt is completed, are bother units deemed to have shot for that turn?
Also, can the Passive Unit who has been assaulted then launch a Close Assualt later in that  turn if they have yet to be activated?

I haven't enough for tanks or upgrades on them but I can get a few more S/A bases on the table, I lost a lot of troops the other day to the Reserve box, like you say Julian. It's been a while since I ve played this game and I lost my old army lists which is helpful-NOT! So I ve had to start from fresh.
Now I ve pointed up this army, and I am making swaps for more appropriate vehicles to the gun classes I ve got. I will do a mid 1960's British Army for next years games.
Then I can cover quite a few years of the diminishing "British" ruling of Africa and the Middle East!
I need some Battlefront Chieftains and FV 432 ? But that's next year !

Julian,
Again, that's very helpful, thanks.
Am I correct to assume that Aggresive Shooting markers can be applied during Close Assault?
Mike.

[Smiley Miley 66]

These are my Saladin A/Cs do you have an idea who would have made them ?

Cheers.

My force is British based. Colonial Settlers.
The Saladin models are cast metal, Martin seems to think even diecast ? But the metal seems too soft for that, well that's my feeling anyway ? The wheels and original gun were Soldered on steel rods. I replaced the gun barrels with my own Aluminium tubes and plastic tubes so I could achieve the stepped effect on the  turret.

[Colonel Kilgore]

Miles,

I thought it looked diecast too. Could yours be a Matchbox one, like this?



People seem to be asking about £70 a pop for them on eBay!

Miles' army is native to uMbongo and the great colonial families of the country, in particular the  dynasty who made their fortunes in cooking oil.

[Smiley Miley 66]

But with ties to the British government and royal family and high financial deals in London.
Hence the military help, it maybe older British and even mothballed equipment and current and ex British soldiers of all ranks.
The company Vegan Enterprises has big ideas that will make a lot of money for their adopted country and far away countries ?
Good for all concerned?
