BKC II - suggested amendments?

[Big Insect]

I am looking to compile a list of errata and changes that more experienced BKC players might have had with regard to BKCII please.

Looking back through the House Rules thread I can spot a few, but I am interested in collating these so that I can play-test some of them.
If any of you on this forum would be so kind as to give me a brief synopses of the changes (ideally with a Page reference in the rules) that would be hugely appreciated.

I am aware we are all moving on-to BKC III but this is a 'project' 

Many thanks

Hi, Mark.

Sorry......I can't help at all with your query 
But, as that was your first post....A very warm welcome to the forum.

Cheers - Phil

Welcome Mr/Ms Insect

Thank you all - for that warm welcome 

I play a fair bit of CWC and FWC - as others from the old SMP forums will no-doubt remember.
I'm just dusting down my BKC II books after having finally given up on Flames of War (v.4 was the final straw for me). So I have a host of 15mm WW2 that needs a new rules set and as I enjoy CWC & FWC so very much, I thought I'd give BKC a try.

Cheers

Who let you in .....

As to BKC III - I understand that it is now complete, and should be out soon.

Hi Big Insect, we at our club, Redcar Ironbeards play 15mm WW2 using Rapid Fire rules

Welcome Mr Insect.

BKCll House rules for out club

Early war - Tanks can be supressed with HMGS as per BKC1
We have reduced cover values for buildings

Wooden builings hit on 5+ no save
Brick and stone buildings Hit on 6 No save
Substantial Stone buildings, Dugout  Hit on 6 , 5+ save

Plunging fire from off table artillery +1 to hit 

Under discussion

Portees - these are incredibly vulnerable in normal rules,but they must have ben fairly effective as so much use was made of them. 

OUt thoughts are either - Allow them to move and fire in initiative phase or fire and move.  Or alow them to spend a command action preparing then counting them as having same hits for the equivalent dismounted gun   

[Big Insect]

Thanks Orcs - much appreciated

We are looking at comparisons with BKCII and BKCIII to ensure that we havent missed any screamingly obvious and very good suggestions that can still potentially be play-tested and incorporated.

As to Ian .... I might ask you the same thing mate  ... I came over here to give myself a break from you   

Not a fan of Rapid Fire TBF. We have started playing BKC with 20mm toys (nice to get those old 1/72nd toys out again) and it seems - on the whole to be working very well.

More BKCII errata, house-rules  and suggestions hugely appreciated folks
