@Battle Specter recoil, yes. Significant recoil, especially for a vehicle mounted weapon? No. A 300 megawatt laser produces around one newton of recoil.
There are counters to EMPs. The most basic is to put your electronics in a Faraday cage (i.e. a foil box). Or ruggedise your critical circuits at the design level. I think you can count on m...
I would like to see figures along this line, especially if they were useable in the more inter-war Pulp style games I enjoy.
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Exactly! We don't need pin-up girl versions of the uniforms or figures, but changing them enough to highlight that the mini is female would be ideal.
We could end up with a scenario where drones are so common and dangerous that most forces resort to battlefield EMP devices to stop the swarms of attackers. This then brings back the use of older, ...
The difference in morphology requires adaptation of parade and tradition uniforms (shoulders, chest, hips...) : women's tunics tend to be a little looser in the chest and tighter in the waist. No ...
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ttcombatundead/gnolls-and-fantasy-friends/description Saw this. Lots of stuff, Ogres, dwarves, desert elves, desert humans, Halflings, Orcs, Gnolls, etc... But...
I finally got my Only Games order in the post yesterday, which included my set of 4 Robots. Looks like I got sent the earlier midget sized versions as well, the overall figures barely reaching the ...
@Geoff Maybury That truck is pretty sweet, and based off a Japanese truck. (LINK) Not sure if anyone got the 1/56 version DG made. @Alessio De Carolis Dropping snipers is a dumb move. I'm hoping ...
@Paul Mitting Yeah, the more I watch of the Ukranian conflict, and think about how that applies moving forward, I can see armored vehicles (and to an extent aerial vehicles) getting hit hard and be...
Scouts Out makes some great STLs that fit the weird war WW1 vibe pretty well:
WW1 Combatant Zombies would be awesome for this game as well as many others. That would be my first pick.
@Dennis Horne My PM`s are a mess I can rarly acexs them and when I do Ive multiple of the same and when I PM someone they get 10/ 12. so sadly I seldem bother it does`nt allways tell me I`ve got on...
In the month of August Ossprey Games is bringing out a new game, called "A War Transformed", (See my post in general) This game is a Wierd War One game set on Doggerland returned to the chanal. It ...
@JTam Have to wait till we get an inside look, but I couldn`t agree with you more. A few more pages of "Fluff" woud be the icing on the cake for many productions, but particullary our broken ...
@Alessio De Carolis These were mostly ideas for STLs. But of course plastic would be better. The RSI paratroopers also saw a lot of hard combat. (Above photo supposedly taken a...
@JTam Effectively, at least for some, an italian paras' sprue would be interesting, they'd the only real pre-'43 modern italian uniform, and were intended to attack Malta, but were instead send in ...
@Big Boi If you want a Late Ancients/Early Dark Ages ruleset that doesn't need any tweaking straight out of the box, the main three have already been covered - Saga: Age of Invasions, Dux Britannia...
I think the Ukraine conflict has shown how drone technology is already impacting the use of tanks on the modern battlefield. To me it seems more likely we'll see bigger (and smaller!) armed drones,...
To be fair, female re-enactors are generally required to appear as 'man-like' as possible for most historical groups when portraying only-male troops. The aim is for them to blend in so as not to p...
Says it under the description on every set's page on the website, along with the box artist.
@Geoff Maybury I'm not totally up on the Sheridans missile system, but I really like the concept of using a tank main gun to send missiles down range. Seems like a pretty solid idea long term. I me...
Look around for some reenactors. You cannot fully trust paintings in regard to how a uniform hangs. I'm not seeing much distinction between the two pants shown here.
@Andreas Mayrhofer That actually looks really good! The gators and the two button cuffs look suitably archaic and tie in with the head well.
@Pierre Lerdou-Udoy Agreed. I've served in uniform for over two decades... And you can generally tell a male from female Soldier at a glance at up to 100 meters. The rende...
Hi, Anaia... We can consider that the military dress of the time is not necessarily very fitted (which is often wrong : tailors were very skilled)... even if we distinguish easily, on the photos o...
I just glued the first Mini together. I really Dog the Look. The Grognard heads fit the new cadians really well Lets do the rest
"Wings" for General Accoutrements: Jetpacks and wings.
The US Army Air Force provided pilots to serve as Forward Air Controllers with ground formation and direct close air support. Would make a unique mini. I'm sure some of them would have ...
Alternatively one could do Paras. Spoilt for choice here. But perhaps Italian Paras to compliment the WGA plastic Italian Infantry. Plus the "Samurai Vests" are baller. Additionally th...
"Wings" for WW2: Perhaps British Glider Pilots? This probably most famous picture from Arnhem is supposedly British Glider Pilots. British Glider Pilots were given some Infantry tr...
One of my problems with the Osprey games is that there's never enough fluff. Both Broken Legions and Silver Bayonet are great settings/ideas. But the setting is not fleshed out a...
@Andreas Mayrhofer Mostly fixed stock rifles then. I like the new Cadians proportions and look... Minus the knee pads. But that's pretty minor/just me.
"Wings" for WW1... Downed pilot. Makes a great objective. Got to rescue/capture the pilot out of no man's land. Posed a bit like this WW2 downed pilot mini perhaps: ...
Bouncing back to the Renaissance. For "Wings" possibly not-Birdmen of Catrazza.
@JTam the sprues arrived
It seems that the pre-WWII period ('til the mid '30s) is the last one when umanity is at the stakes of supernatural, after, with our technological development, the chances have been reversed, as sh...
A really good book with some of the flavor of this is: WW1ish time frame. A wall keeping the wild magics and other things out. Soldiers wear bits of armor and silver items for when the win...
Wings: For Imperial Conquests I was thinking an entire balloon. I have an issue of Wargames Illustrated with rules for an observation balloon "floating" around somewhere. I will try...
@Mark Dewis Ah, I was saving the Eagle capture vignette for the theme colors: Good idea for the General Accoutrements.
Sigh. Let's try it this way: Can you tell these are female minis? If not, the mission is not accomplished.
@Battle Specter Eileen and myself loved it, no problom to build but with out amini missile might lose the laughter content in mini.
@Paul Mitting Like the Sherridans Shelailie Missile system?
@Benjamin Hayward You are most welcome my friend. Got an idea this ones gonna hit the spot bang on.
@Mark Dewis Described as muti size squad, platoon, Foot, Cavalry, Vehicles and Monsters. Out August really hits those tast bud eh Mark .I get another game for my Honerable Leads Animals, and fantas...
Also, can we get an Afghan warrior holding an AT-4 backwards, please? The above GIF is proof it happened...
@Alessio De Carolis Even lasers recoil. And a rail gun- even though it isn't using an explosive charge to throw the projectile- will still have to overcome the inertia of the slug of whatever is be...
Dang, this is right up my alley! Mike Mignola's Baltimore is one of my favorite comics, and I've been itching for a game set in "Weird War I" with trench-fighters vs. monsters, ghosts, and st...
