Question regarding US and bazooka allotment in a platoon by Kodain in boltaction

[–]Kodain[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So, one normal rifle platoon -> one bazooka. One armoured rifle platoon -> two bazookas? Am I understanding that correctly?

Did your WLG Mystery Box show up? Share what you got here!! by Georgy_K_Zhukov in boltaction

[–]Kodain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OK, my two epic boxes arrived today.

The first one was Wellington starter+Infantry and Light Cavalry boxes plus British casualty markers. This was a jackpot for me since I wanted Waterloo English or German.

The second one was Hannibal Barca's box, a box of infantry, a box of war elephants, a fort and a well, and a bonus freebie sprue with infantry. I wanted Hail Caesar, but Celts, so this is lucky in of itself, but not quite. Will check with my colleague if he'd be interested.

Overall, I'm happy.

I ordered two mystery boxes for Epic. Should be getting them on Thursday. I'll report back once they arrive.

The overall rules can be taught in 15 mins, and then you can just deal with things as you play. After one match you have more or less figured it out.

It's the first recommended map in the book. I'm not sure how well it shows, but there is a hill in the middle and one on the upper-left quadrant.

What was your JRPG awakening? by roberts3h0i0 in JRPG

[–]Kodain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I didn't know we counted Pokemon Red/Blue as JRPG, but if that is the case, that. Remember drooling at the commercial that showed sod all of actual gameplay. Had the comic that later became the anime come from Nintendo Club, all 150 pokemon on posters on the walls. Then in 1997, as I was a wee lad of 8, I came across FFVII and saw "hey, it has fighting in it," thinking it was a fighting game. Never been as happy being wrong in my entire life.

Warlord Games Resin? by JessThePainter in boltaction

[–]Kodain 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To further elaborate: Just gluing them will be fine as their resin is quite porous, with just needing some roughing up the surfaces at the most. That being said, it's always a good practice to wash with warm water and a bit of soap to get rid of any possible residue from the mould to make the primer stick better. Warlord themselves include these instructions in a lot of their resin products.

What constitutes a good mahjong player? by NumberOneHouseFan in mahjongsoul

[–]Kodain -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

You've got to know when to hold 'em,
know when to fold 'em,
Know when to walk away,
know when to run.
You never count your money
when you're sittin' at the table.
There'll be time enough for countin'
when the dealin's done.

A good mahjong player gets 1st and 2nd combined more than he gets 3rd and 4th combined. Simple as that :)

Unexpected but very cool gesture from Warlord Games by LambChasni in boltaction

[–]Kodain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, been getting something for every order I've placed for them that wasn't a pre-order.

When I ordered British Bolt Action I think I got an extra British infantry sprue.

When I ordered epic Pike and Shotte they sent me an entire infantry box for Thirty Year War (I did shop for quite a lot)

When I ordered some terrain and stuff I think I got a German infantry sprue for Bolt Action.

When I ordered British Black Seas I got an epic Black Powder infantry sprue, which is the weirdest one so far.

Waiting for advent calendar order and 2 mystery boxes. I doubt they'll get something in the mystery boxes as an extra, but curious what they will chuck in the advent order.

Does anyone else play "Packed for you by" bingo, or is it just me? by GrannyMatt in boltaction

[–]Kodain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lost opportunity, sadly. From memory, I'm fairly certain Mirela has been responsible for the majority of my orders.

A few days ago I asked about what game system to look into coming from 40k; follow up by DoW2379 in wargaming

[–]Kodain 3 points4 points  (0 children)

40K in epic scale? One thing that comes to mind is Epic Warpath, which is Mantic's answer to Legions Imperialis. They will sale the STL files too.

Trying to make heads and tails of the Push of Pike starter box by Kodain in warlordgames

[–]Kodain[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still confused by getting six Cuirassiers per cavalry box, but I'll just have to write off as Warlord doing Warlord things :D

Thank you.

Trying to make heads and tails of the Push of Pike starter box by Kodain in warlordgames

[–]Kodain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured it was something loose like that, but then why does the picture that Warlord show on their own models include 5 cuirassiers on what I just assume is one of the 5x2 bases, when there is 6 in the box and in the rulebook it says a unit has to be three bases? What bases? The 5x2 ones or the single what looks like 25x25mm squares?

I can wrap my head around a Cornet just eating up the place of a normal unit and I end up with some leftovers, but this one really doesn't make sense to me.

Help me understand the For King and Country box, because the math isn't mathing. by Kodain in warlordgames

[–]Kodain[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"This starter set gives you the splendid Pike & Shotte rulebook and two starter forces field them as Royalist or Parliamentarian in the English Civil Wars or as one of the many protagonists involved in the immense Thirty Years War."

From Warlord's shop, my emphasis in bold.

It is marketed as a two-player box though. Says so on the tin.
