It is 631 years since the Battle of Sempach, fought between the forces of between the Duke of Austria Leopold III and the Old Swiss Confederacy. The battle was a decisive Swiss victory in which Duke Leopold and numerous Austrian nobles died. The victory helped turn the loosely allied Swiss Confederation into a more unified nation and is seen as a turning point in the growth of Switzerland.
During 1383-1384, the expansion of the Old Swiss Confederacy collided with Austrian interests. In 1385, there were various attacks, without formal declaration of war or central organization, by Confederation forces on several Austrian strongholds.
In January 1386, Lucerne expanded its sphere of influence by entering pacts with a number areas under Austrian control. This move was the immediate cause of war. A local Austrian force defeated the Confederate garrison at Meienberg, and Lucerne called the Confederacies for assistance. An armistice was called, but neither side had any interest in ending the conflict, and instead it escalated into a full-scale military confrontation.
Duke Leopold gathered his troops at Brugg, consisting of his feudal vassals, as well as mercenaries and the bourgeois forces of various towns. In the course of a few weeks, no less than 167 noblemen declared war on the Swiss. These declarations were sent to the Swiss diet in groups. On 24 June, a messenger brought 15 declarations of war. Before all letters had been read, another delivered eight, and before he had finished speaking, yet more were brought in. A further eight messengers arrived on the following day.
The gathering of Austrian forces suggested an intended attack on Zürich, and the Confederate forces moved to protect that city. But Leopold marched south, with the intention of ravaging the Lucerne countryside and perhaps ultimately the city itself. The Austrian army had a troop of mowers with them with the purpose of cutting down the corn and destroying the harvests along their route.
Jayden Gomez
Leopold's men taunted those behind the walls of the town, and a knight waved a noose at them and promised them he would use it on their leaders. Another mockingly pointed to the soldiers setting fire to the ripe fields of grain, and asked them to send a breakfast to the reapers. From behind the walls, there was a shouted retort: "Lucerne and the allies will bring them breakfast!"
The Confederate troops marched back from Zürich once it became clear that this was not Leopold's target. The forces of Zürich had remained behind defending their own city, while those of Bern had not heeded the Confederate call for assistance.
The Confederation Army had assembled at the bridge over the Reuss River at Gisikon. It marched from there, hoping to catch Leopold still at Sempach where he could be pressed against the lake. Around noon, the two armies made contact about 2 km outside of Sempach. This was to the mutual surprise of both armies, which were both on the move and not in battle order. But both sides were willing to engage and formed ranks.
The Swiss held the wooded high ground. Since the terrain was not deemed suitable for a cavalry attack, Leopold's knights dismounted, and because they did not have time to prepare for the engagement, they were forced to cut off the tips of their poulaines which would have hindered their movement on foot. The Swiss chroniclers report how a huge pile of these shoe-tips was found in a heap after the battle.
The main body of the Confederation army finally completed its deployment from the marching column, formed up, and attacked the knights from the flank aggressively. The Austrian force formed a wide rank and threatened to surround the outnumbered Confederates.
How and at what point the battle turned in favour of the Confederates is a matter of debate. In any case, the Swiss did break through the Austrian ranks and routed the enemy army completely. Duke Leopold and with him a large number of nobles and knights were slain.
Benjamin Peterson
Traditional Swiss historiography since the 16th century has attributed the turning of the tide to the heroic deed of Arnold von Winkelried, who opened a breach in the Habsburg lines by throwing himself into their pikes, taking them down with his body so that the confederates could attack through the opening. Winkelried is usually explained as a legendary figure introduced to explain the Swiss victory against the odds, perhaps as late as a full century after the battle. The earliest evidence of the Winkelried legend is the depiction of the battle in the Lucerne Chronicle of 1513. The oldest accounts of the battle are unambiguous in the judgement that the Swiss victory was against all odds and expectations, and is attributed to the grace of God.
Not without justification, the Battle of Sempach came to be seen as the decisive turning point between the foundation of the confederacy as a loose pact in the 14th century, and its growth into a significant political and military power during the 15th century. At the peak of the military success of the Eight Cantons in the period of 1470 to 1510, Swiss historiography paid great attention to the Battle of Sempach. It is depicted in the Swiss illustrated chronicles of the period, and discussed by Reformation era historiographers such as Aegidius Tschudi and Wernher Steiner. Since there are few historiographical accounts of the battle predating 1470, it is difficult to judge the historicity of the individual details.
Sempach is a bloody and closely-fought battle, representing a shift in medieval warfare, and is definitely worth a turn on the tabletop.
>Not terribly familiar with the French overall, presuming I used them for 1917-1918 Foreign legion and they had Berthiers instead of Lebels what inaccuracies would prevent me from using French minis for late ww1 and early ww2?
Reservist and second-line units in 1940 would be largely indistinguishable from their comrades in 1914. Assuming your opponents are not utter pedants with an encyclopedic knowledge of the French Army, you should be fine.

Aiden Gutierrez
I had a look at the Ostfront rules and it looks like it could make for some fun, comfy tank on tank action. What other rule sets would you fellows recommend for purely tank battles? I'd like to compare them.
Wyatt Jackson
You could also look at Rapid Fire. It works really well in 1/72 which is great with all the models avaliable in that scale.
Benjamin Hernandez
Thanks. I didn't see it in any of the OP links (maybe I missed it), but I was able to find this pdf.
That's definitely what Ostfront was designed for. It started as tank on tank on the eastern front - a fun way to battle the 1/72 miniatures we could find at local toy stores. The ranges suit 15mm or 10mm better though.
Adrian Murphy
Fuck I got annoyed by those rules calling a 39 -model group a "battalion". Like if you're making rules for a historical wargame, could you please research even for 10 seconds to find out how many people are in a battalion or a company. 39 men is a fucking platoon or a half-dead company.
John Evans
The Constitutionalist Revolt in Brazil is very interesting, actually. Richest, most populous, most developed state in a country alongside sone separatist rebels versus the rest of the country. São Paulo is also marshy highlands, so it can get quite tough.
Eli Flores
According to them each figure represents 15 guys and each vehicle represents 5.
Gavin Brooks
Are you simply unaware of the concept of scaling?
Bentley Clark
That pdf didnt seem to mention the figures representing more than one guy though. I'm not familiar with the ruleset otherwise.
Also it's very common for the layman to be confused about military organization names and sizes of units. It's just so wrong to call a few dudes a "division" for example. That happened with a streamer playing stell division normandy, and he just kept calling his sections of brits "divisions". I couldn't watch, just kave me such childish vibes.
Like, I know it's not a crime to not know those things and it's not the worlds end. It just annoys me.
Is Rapid fire played on a map then, instead of to-scale terrain? In that case i understand the models are being used as markers for units. Otherwise it would still piss me off.

Great. I love how they hyped the fuck out of Sea Lion but practically released, and then forgot about P&S: ECW.
Juan White
Muh colored brother, I completely understand and share your autism.
It's just so damn annoying when you're trying to watch a movie or play a game and somebody calls a group of four motherfuckers a "platoon". Youtubers are absolutely guilty of this too, I can't recall how many times I've seen and heard supposedly serious people call a force of less than a hundred models a "battalion".
Ethan Miller
I mean, is it any surprise? Way more people know and care about WWII than the P&S era. Most non-Europeans don't even know the P&S era existed. Even then, it's not hard to find an Italian who knows the history of conflict as being Romans-Knights-Napoleon-Mussolini. They skip over P&S shit in most popular culture.
I think we in the hobby underestimate exactly how shallow the average person's depth of historical knowledge might be.
Don't get me wrong, there's a place for obscurity. I just bought a set of French Indochina figures. But Warlord is trying to market to the potential GeeDubs/Non-grog consumer. They want new blood, and new blood likes Nahtzees much more than Parliamentarians.
Luke Sanders
Then why even release it if they don't give a shit about it? The ECW is big in Englad as I understand - same with VBCW, which got shitton of new stuff, and unlike that, the ECW actually happened.
As for Europe, the Thirty Years War was like the biggest and most colourful war up to date. Lots of various nations, colorful uniforms, tactics that range from basically ancients to pike and shot with everything inbetween. Yet, all we got are three generic boxes. Given their recent somewhat mini-sprue-ish approval to their Napoleonics, it could REALLY work for P&S. Cuirassiers, Dragoons/Harquebusiers, one small sprue of 3-4 figures and the generic renaissance horse sprue...
Also, fucking FINALLY they release their landsknecht. Shame I basically lost interest in them by now.

>Is Rapid fire played on a map then, instead of to-scale terrain? In that case i understand the models are being used as markers for units. Otherwise it would still piss me off. Figure ratios, ground scales, and time scales are a long and groggy tradition. It's shitty designers who handwave that away who are ruining the hobby.* 1:1 figure ratio is a terrible thing in most wargames, and idiots who don't stop to consider ground scale are the fucking worst. Yes, well done, you've built a ruleset where no-one can fire from one end of pegasus bridge to the other, why have you done this. by ruining the hobby I mean often creating fun and cool rulesets to play with your toy soldiers

I was reading on Wikipedia about those French foreign legion sappers with their massive axes and mustaches and thought to myself that I'd like to paint some of those. Where can I get models of such units? 28 mm preferably. I can only find Warlords but I think they're a bit gorilla'ey
They have a couple of sets with them btw, the one I linked is hardly the only one.
Anthony Brooks
You da man, man
Camden Wright
None of this made any sense to me, until I read Charles Grant's The War Game. About half-way through, he explains that the table scale of 10 yards to 1 inch (so he can have a big battle on a small table) plus the fact that a real Prussian batallion was 125 yards along the front, means that a table batallion has to have as many toy soldiers as fit in 12.5"
It all makes perfect sense, but no other book I've read bothers to explain it.
>and I still hate looking at 12 models and trying to imagine 570 men in 3 ranks
Dominic Hughes
Whipped up a quick map for Slicks and Snakes' first outing. Dense green stippling indicates heavy cover, light stippling indicates lighter cover. The dark brown area indicates the low ground flanking the river. The river requires infantry and weapons bases to use half their movement to cross, and the square paddy fields force all infantry and weapons bases to move at half speed while in them.
The 3 US Pilots must escape the battlefield in the back of the Slick.
Charlie's objective is to either kill or capture the pilots and drive off the CSAR operation.
Orders of Battle at the start of the scenario were as follows:
>Pilot, Co-Pilot and Crew Chief of UH-1H, Callsign Baboon 2-4
231st Main Force Battalion, Viet Cong Guerrillas >2x ZPU-4 AAA Batteries >4x DShKM HMG Batteries >6x Viet Cong Guerrilla Squads >3x Viet Cong Heavy Weapons Squads
Eli Turner
I can't be arsed to buy and assemble and paint a few hundred square based dudes who are particular to this setting which is famous for having confused, tacticless battles and where protracted sieges could win wars.
On the other hand I could pick up a handful of tiny manz and have a blast playing Major Mannering vs. The Submarine Crew. That would be fun and I wouldn't give them your name, Pike!
I'm all for autism, but some settings just suck for some scales. 28mm Pike & Shotte is one of those.
Dylan Gonzalez
>Deployment The US deploys within 6" of their board edge, divided into two teams. One on the left flank, closest to the crash site, consisting of Badger 1-1, Badger 1-2 and Bandicoot 1. Bushpig 1-1 and Bushpig 1-2 start on the right flank to cover the rescue attempt. The crew of Baboon 2-4 deploy adjacent to the crash site.
The VC have ability to deploy much further forward than the US forces. The DShKM batteries anchor the far left of the battle line, flanked by a group of two infantry squads and a heavy weapons squad, with a final group of the two ZPU-4 batteries, two heavy weapons squads and the remaining infantry squad on the far right.
>US Turn 1 After winning the roll for 1st turn, the US helicopters shriek into the AO. Deployed in two hunter-killer pairs, Badger and Bushpig lead the charge with Bandicoot bringing up the rear. The front-running Cayuse recon ships drop down to the Nape of the Earth while the heavily loaded Cobras climb to high altitude, eyes raking the jungle canopy for signs of the enemy. Bandicoot chugs along behind, dropping in behind Badger 1-2, ready to swoop down and pick up the precious cargo.
In the jungle, weighed down with survival gear, radios and M16 rifles, the crewmen of Baboon 2-4 scramble away from the blazing wreckage, frantically radioing their position to the approaching helicopters.
All five helicopter pilots are unable to spot anything through the steaming canopy.
With no targets to fire at, the turn passes to Charlie.
>VC Turn 1 The VC advance in line abreast, still anchored by the DShKMs on the left. The unwieldy HMG's will soon be in position to cover the crash site and any viable landing zones nearby. Sneaking along the dry river gulch, three central guerrilla infantry squads position themselves to cut off the pilot's escape route and vector small arms fire onto the incoming helicopters. On the right flank, gunners crank the quad-barreled ZPU-4s skyward while their escorting infantry push forward.
Grayson Cruz
The ZPU gunners manage to spot the sleek silhouettes of Bushpig 1-1 and Bushpig 1-2, but the olive-drab gunships are still well beyond weapon range.
Down over the canopy, the darting shapes of Badger 1-2 and Bandicoot are shielded from the prying eyes of the DShKM teams and their attending infantry. Circling like a buzzard at high altitude, Badger 1-1 is easily picked out by the sharp-eyed Charlies.
Despite spotting most of the inbound Americans, the VC are unable to capitalize on this early success due to the relatively short ranges of their weapons.
Evan Hughes
they already seem to have forgotten about sealion, it would have made more sense to release all the minis/supplements first then do the campaign but now you have the second wave coming out as it starts, not to mention they are already gearing up for the bolt action new guinea book with a big aussie release.
I have to say...I don't give a shit about ANOTHER new mini game....its like these guys have adhd, id rather they just stuck to the franchises they have or better yet released some for the arsenal miniatures/bolt action stuff the previewed TWO YEARS AGO.
Joshua Morris
Keep going user!
Charles Jackson
also does anyone give a fuck about some of the games? terminator genesis they were practically giving away, and antares while gaining ground still isn't big, and the doctor who game just feels like a failure, haven't seen any hype for it and the minis are both an unpopular scale and for the most part, practically unconvertable...so its just a bunch of people all playing with the same statuettes with paint jobs of varying quality.
On the topic of ECW, i'm actually surprised that we didn't see more considering how it is the owners favorite and the owner clearly decided what gets priority.

Non 1:1 representation and different scaling of miniatures and map trigger me too.
Also, that stupid fucking argument for arty being on the table in FoW saying that it's some sort of space magic scaling and those units are actually kilometers behind and not chilling out in an orchard 100 away from the battle.
Nicholas Anderson
For a more campaign oriented/small-scale game I'd actually recommend Twilight 2000. For a larger scale, I dunno, maybe FFT?
Ian Nguyen
What's the ground scale in this game? The ZPU has an 8000m range, and the DsHKM 2000m effective range.
Even if the enemy is outside of their effect range, they would still likely funnel fire into the area, possibly giving the US the willies (are there morale checks for vehicle crews in this game?)
Helicopters are large, noisy targets and the VC should pretty much always know where they are. If its a crash site the US are after, the VC would be all over that crash site, set up waiting to cover it. Looking at the map those ZPUs and heavy weapons should be engaging the US helis straight away from turn 1 through the open ground. If your ground scale is very small though that would make more sense that they dont.
Caleb Morris
Oye, lads, just finished editing FoF - Classified PDF. So how do I 1. Know that the PDF is safe to share/doesn't have any incriminating breadcrumbs? 2. Upload it for you fine gents?
Isaac Green
Do you want a game where 3 or 4 people control a single tank?
Tank duel is kind of fun looking for this, but it doesn't really cover the in-depth damage and resupply stuff you'd want for a mercenary adventure. With a good DM / GM I'm sure they could homebrew that up.
Gavin Richardson
1. Make sure your name isn't printed on the pages anywhere ie as a watermark 2. Pop it on a free and anonymous file host - perhaps ask in the PDF share thread if you don't already have one

>terminator genesis Tbh it has a really solid ruleset. I'll try to scan the quickstart rules, but after reading it, I really like it, and it seemed that it was originally meant to be a more universal system as it has "bow" in the weapon selection - hardly a useful weapon against endoskeletons, but if you wanted to play zombie games, it could work.
Jose Perry
I know it's not /hwg/ but someone on this board mentioned an upcoming fantasy skirmish game from warlord, has anyone heard anything similar?
Elijah Martinez
The ground scale is 1" to 100m, giving the DShKM a range of 20". Regarding the ZPU, I've seen effective ranges listed anywhere from 1400m to 5000m so I picked a middle ground of 30".
Spotting helicopters at high altitude is incredibly easy, it gets slightly more difficult depending on distance and altitude. The spotting system is an abstraction of visually identifying the target and interpreting it's exact position.
Speculative fire is definitely going into the game, as will a morale system.
Camden Cooper
That's a pretty small ground scale. What scale miniatures do you plan to have it played with? That kind of ground scale might work better with markers rather than miniatures. Even 6mm would be a bit large to comfortably handwave that ground scale. (A rifle being able to actually hit something no further than 1" or up to 3 to 5" for a maximum effective range of an AK or M16.) Obviously miniature scale and ground scale won't be the same, but for example Hind and Seek uses 1" = 20m for 6mm minis and even then that's on the small side for a ground scale, with a rifle firing about half as far as it would in a 1:1 ground to miniature scale.
Implementing real life weapon ranges into a tabletop game is a real challenge - best of luck to you!
Ryan Martinez
I was shooting for 6mm figures on 20mm bases. It's pushing the envelope a bit, but I felt that 1"-100m gave the best ratio for movement and weapon ranges etc.
Grayson Murphy
>Also, that stupid fucking argument for arty being on the table in FoW saying that it's some sort of space magic scaling and those units are actually kilometers behind and not chilling out in an orchard 100 away from the battle. That's generally a symptom of the kind of designers who don't think about figure ratios and scaling and just handwave everything, because they're coming from strict 1:1 where they don't have to think about that stuff.
Ground scale should be different from figure scale unless you're literally playing a tiny street gang skirmish, and time scale should always be considered.
Dylan Thomas
>Any ideas as to a good system for mercenary tank adventures? If you're really keen check out Phoenix Command's tank system
>So my 1917 French would have to be foreign legion or other Colonials. They would be perfect for Colonial troops in North Africa etc, yes.
Noah Morales
What's the time scale for a turn? it would take a man a while to move 100m through dense jungle, even 100m in open ground. If your infantry are moving more than 1" at a time it would take even longer...
It might be better to abstract the air speeds vs the ground speeds - give infantry and aircraft a move that "feels right" on the table. Likewise it might be worth having a telescoping range scale rather than a strict 1" = x metres system. You could reduce longer ranges and increase lower ranges so things feel right on the tabletop.
How far can an average assault rifle fire in this game? without a scope you'd be hard pressed to hit anything beyond 100m, with 50m being comfortable for a man sized target. Beyond 100m you're only really going to be suppressing the enemy and maybe getting a lucky hit every now and then. 300m - the "effective range" of an AK is really a bit far to actually hit something without a scope, as is the 500m "effective range" of an M16. From my hunting experience, firing at 300m even with an excellent scope, it was still difficult to hit a man-sized target exactly where you wanted. I tried for a head shot on a goat at about that range and ended up missing the clean kill but blowing the jaw off instead. Provided a sniper would be far more familiar with their weapon and easily able to pull off a head shot at that range (this was my first time firing that specific .308), but it shows that ranges beyond 100m are difficult to get hits at without a scope, even when you're taking your time and carefully aiming - which isn't usually the case in the heat of combat.
Evan Hall
Movement has already been a bit abstracted, aircraft are moving at reasonably realistic airspeed, informed by their cruising speed broken down into m/s. I've been rounding up a bit to keep things fun but I there's a little bit of thought to keep things consistent.
Infantry movement has been really abstracted, otherwise they'd literally moving at 1" per turn. An infantry squad moves 4", weapons bases are a little slower depending on weight.
Weapons fire from infantry represents the whole squad blazing away on automatic at a distant target, the ground scale doesn't really take individual marksmanship into account. M16 rifles have a range of 6". The damage system puts greater weight on pinning with the odd chance of doing damage. Infantry combat in this game is about pinning and suppression, the damage dealers are artillery and aircraft.

H.G. Wells's tale of developing what's basically the original miniature wargame (rather than military simulation) covers a lot of still relevant things.
Does anyone here have experience trying to do miniature wargaming with Tabletop Simulator on Steam? I can't seem to find any info online or otherwise about how it can be done, if at all.
David Long
I have. Never really played anything, tho.
Just watch the tutorial in the game.

What exactly do you not find?
There are tutorials on youtube for almost everything, from adding single items together to an army, to set up tables etc.
The steam workshop offers tons and tons of historical (and other) miniatures and vehicles to use.

I can only find 40k/X-Wing stuff on youtube, unless that's what you're suggesting I refer to.
And is there any way to determine scale/dimensions of the table? Obviously I have had little experience with this program so far.
Michael Hernandez
The "game" has all tools necessary available. Rulers, calculator, dice etc. You select what you need and then draw a line with your mouse to see the distance for example.
I have not much experience but i managed to play a game of Bolt Action against a buddy.
I used this video as my main guide and picked some "starter armies" and other BA related stuff like a map etc from the steam workshop.

Damn. Well if someone can buy it and scan/resell them to me I would be really gratefull.
Maybe we'll get a new set in 2020 since Warlord needs to release more Bolt Action... I'm not sure why Warlord purchases so many companies for different settings when Bolt Action is their main source of income. In my opinion they expanded too fast everywhere meaning we get mainly Bolt Action with little else sprinkled through the year.

They are like the Caesar/Miniknight of 28mm historicals. Lots of cool stuffs to work with, but it always comes down to WW2 Germans.
