Very nice first video - looking forward to more. For my part, rather than the wrap-up each turn, I would love to see the actual dice rolls. Definitely adds some anticipation and excitement to it! I played RF several years ago; but, kind of lost interest in it when FoW came out. I may take a look at Reloaded though - it looks like a hoot. Keep up the great work!!

Rapid fire is still the best ww2 rules on the market for speed / playability / realism. I am still using the origional green book rules been playing them since 97. Good to see the Canadian troops out and about, a force I am in the process of putting together. Great quality of terrain, a re-run of the game might be one german company plus the armour in ambush, then being re-enforced by the rest of the battalion... Great stuff!

Nice report. Thanks for sharing. Just got my RF Reloaded rules yesterday. I was wondering if you did the "Hero Test" when your PIAT trooper "jumped out" of the carrier and advanced toward in the open the Panther (and took him out). The trooper would have needed to throw a 6 in order to fire at the Panther. Possibly didn't mention it for brevity.

Yeah, he passed the hero test. A very lucky shot indeed, though the panther was foolhardy charging down the road.....

Very nice battle report and great looking forces and table! I've heard of Rapid Fire Reloaded but never checked it out. Is this battalion or brigade scale? So is each figure/stand a platoon (or equivalent, i.e. one tank = a squadron) then? I noticed some infantry figures were individually based and some were based with multiples, is that just a preference?
@stigofthedump1814 ай бұрын
Each company is 8 figures, it's quite abstracted. Each vehicle represents a troop or platoon. So 3 tanks would be a squadron. I've recently been experimenting using flames of war based figures, where each base of 4-5 men is a platoon. So 3 or 4 bases per company d3pending on the nation/ theatre .
@oblomovbruce99793 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the great video on this set of rules, appreciate all the time it probably took to edit! Have many rule books for WWII - including many of the RF books, just have not played them yet. Was a little confused about the seemingly nebulous morale system - i.e. what constitutes a unit for morale purposes in RF2! ? How is morale in 'Reloaded' handled?
@stigofthedump1813 жыл бұрын
A unit is the battalion, or could be an attatched squadron of armour in RF Reloaded. So for example, a BN has a starting strength of 48 figures. Once it reaches 50 % casuatlies ( ie 24 in this case) it will need to start testing for morale. To test for morale, you work out any modifiers and roll a D6. You then apply the result shown. Its really simple. If you have the reloaded book, it is explained on page 8. Thanks for watching.

@donmchugh80523 ай бұрын
It is good to see Rapid Fire videos, but I suggest you go back and read through the rules carefully as you have done loads of things wrong. MMGs cannot move and fire, they need to be stationary for the move to fire as an MMG. 81mm mortars cannot knock out an AFV. The humber is not armed with a 37mm autocannon. Full vehicle stats can be found on the Rapid Fire website.
@stigofthedump1813 ай бұрын
Cheers, this is a vid made during covid, 3 years ago. Mistakes may have been made. 😆 However, on re reading the rules.. Indirect fire can take out an AFV in RF reloaded, so long as the calibre is above 80mm. page 12. I had all the stats and i believe i might have misspoke, the Humber IV has a 37mm gun, not Autocannon. I completely missed the bit of text where it says manpacked guns etc cant move and shoot, it makes sense that they cant so cheers for pointing it out. Cheers . 👍
