As I dont play GW you may be talking poo... but youre right, I dont care about 28mm WW2.

Odd way to go about advertising.

I do play 28mm WW2 and didnt see the need to comment. As a rule if I haven't got anything nice to say I say nothing. But if you insist:

The picture of the jeep is awful and Im surprised BA would put out a picture with such a poor quality paint job.

I've recently bought two packs of BA miniatures,

The plastic Germans and British, had fun putting them together in spite of them having flimsy rifles and what-not. Got my first 3 German soldiers painted. I agree with the above post about the jeep - The Paintjob isn't fantastic for advertisement. May have to look into getting that Hanomag fairly soon.

Sorry to hi-jack the thread but since 28mm doesn't seem extremely popular and there are a rather small amount of posts on this forum that isn't FoW - Is the Operation Squad rules by Warlord Games any good? Or would people recommend another ruleset for small Platoon based games at 28mm.
I've heard Disposable Heroes and Nuts! are good ones.

Thanks folks!

Oh, and by the way... I have a 4000 points Word Bearers CSM army too

no idea on operation squad, but since black powder and hail caeser are no short of masterpieces I'd have some faith that the WWII system can't be too bad either.

but I like disposable heroes and have no urge to change to another system, its realistic, well written, very open, simple enough and basically the opposite of everything something like FOW is

Stella Cadente wrote:...basically the opposite of everything something like FOW is

Thanks for the information Stella! Really appreciate the prompt reply. I'll look into Disposable Heroes abit more and see about making a purchase. Two things about FoW, the first is it felt too much like Warhammer, second... I dislike 15mm models.

Again, thank you!

Actually from the wheels up that jeep is weathered in quite an interesting fashion. It gets crappy about where the front stowage is, and just gets worse, until you hit the driver and realise you just went back to 1944 and you're looking at a Lanolin lead soldier.

Not sure why the vitriol about FOW. Its just a rules system for 15mm WW2. A fairly accessible one. Its not as if its a huge leap to swap to another 15mm system. A WW2 8th Army is a WW2 8th Army regardless of what book you read. Battlefront might be turning into proto-GW comedians, but a historical system hitting the "mainstream" is a good thing.

Besides, 28s are great for the painting and display, but they are an utter ball-ache to accumulate for armies, and a monstrous headache to store. Different scales have their own quality.

LOL! You have very odd views on DH... Its about as realistic as FOW.

Like most games really. I dont play FOW but have had many games with DH. Its an ok set of mechanics, but its not realistic anymore than FOW is.

So a system based on Italeri's Operation WW2, NOT written by Rick priestly is as good as BP and HC cos the same company make it?

Sir, you write alot of tosh...

Also, how "Realistic" can any game be, when it is using small lead men, dice and bits of teddy-bear fur (amongst other things) to represent hiding in a cold wet ditch for a week whilst someone you can't see throws very loud and very dangerous exploding hot metal at you constantly until you end up very dead, all for reasons you don't really understand, and crappy pay, awful food, for an indefinite time?

Big P wrote:Sir, you write alot of tosh...

says the guy who admits to never playing FOW yet comparing DH7's realism to said game they have never played
yes I write allot of tosh sure, if DH7 had armour saves and tanks dominated and cover was just an afterthrought I'd agree, but infantry in the open get slughtered, tanks are powerful but sluggish and unreliable and cover is more important than bullets.

also I never said operation squad was/is as good as BP or HC, some people really should read before spouting a load of tosh

My you are an oddly aggresive individual.

Enough to put me off buying anything else from Warlord Games thats for sure.

In DH games, everyone dies... Rarely is a figure left, its those realistic fights to the death you enjoy?

Anywho, if you like DH, then good for you. Its not my cup of tea, but the world would be dull if we all liked the same games. Its also written and produced by two throughly decent chaps who have an excellent customer service and back-up.

Sounds like a game of 40k.

Big P wrote:My you are an oddly aggresive individual.

This!

@Stella Cadente: While I genuinely appreciate the information and pictures you have posted I do wish you'd reign yourself in a little with your tone.

These look like great models, 28mm WWII isn't really my bag right now but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate when people post pictures of great looking models in any scale.

Also, I'm struggling to see where you are going with this. "I hate GW even if you like it, so here are some pictures of an SS Kubelwagen, a 2cm Flak, and that ugly Cut-N-Shut 21st Panzer Halftrack." Nice pics, but ? Are they relevant to the thread title in some way I have missed, or is this a new way of expressing rage? If it is, I must say I like it.

don't be tricked, you only lose every model if your a muppet who uses 2 pieces of terrain and never uses them, its WWII, there should be terrain out the wazoo to make enemy fire practically none existent, every game I've played its never been wipe out to a man, saying everyone dies or rarely is a figure left is that old thing called a pile of steaming pullplop.

if people know nothing about the game at all and compare it to games they have never played, they should shut the hell up.

nice pics man, and some of us, even the tiny little miniture players, care about warlord games, and care about them a whole lot more then GW.

Well I have played DH, I own everything they have published. As I said before, I have spoken many times with the authors and they are a good bunch of lads. Like them alot... Dont mean I like the rules though.

Just not my sort of game. I prefer one that allows me to utilise real world squad level tactics on the tabletop.

As for terrain on a tabletop, laddie, I sh*t terrain... One of my WW2 Yugoslavian games...




Your level of angst does highly amuse me though. Is it lonely in your mum's basement? You seem to have an inability to accept other peoples views. Have you ever thought about counselling?

Must say I prefer the Hicksy sculpts of old BAM to the new ones... But then Im a whore for anything Hicksy does...

Seriously though... Chillax.

That snippet has made my night, thank you!

Overall it would be agreeable to disagree I think, I assure you not all us lot over the small patch of water have as much angst as this geezer implies...

Either way, it's good bedtime reading when I'm sat with my cuppa. Cheers!

Indeed. Then I wondered why you didn't just post a picture of the relevant model like you did with the first couple. Hence my theory about Nazi-picture-shouting-rage. It was as good a theory as any.

P you crack me up

Im not really fan on the models but i enjoy the conversation haha

ArbeitsSchu wrote:Indeed. Then I wondered why you didn't just post a picture of the relevant model like you did with the first couple

because I didn't think everyone would be so lazy as to not bother clicking the link no matter the pic, so whatever pic I put up would of made no difference because all the full info is gained via the link, picture of model or not.

hell I'm not an advertiser, I just post a pic, post a link and let you do the rest yourselves, its not my job to sell an item, just to make aware the item exists, after that my job is done.

Why change the format though? You started out posting pics of new releases, then had a little gribble about GW being toss, then shifted to posting WW2 pics with links that led to pics of new releases.

because I was lazy and just posted the first pic on the page, and it makes no difference at all what pic I posted because they are all on warlords site anyway, not posting the model pic just means you have to go on the site

So you are advertising then by driving consumers to a website.

Must say, I never had you pegged as an advertising guru.

Big P wrote:Must say, I never had you pegged as an advertising guru.

There's a reason for that.

Hey Stella, thanks for the pics.
Pardon my late arrival.
Are we in the ‘Disposable Heroes is a fun game but not realistic’ or the ‘Stella’s comments always lack sufficient cute icons and so generate more vitriol than is warranted (and intended, IMHO)’ part of the conversation?

Wherever you want it to be...

more stuff for you to bitch about
