Hey, all. Which burst templates do you use for E:A? Would the plastic 40K ones work?

Thanks,

Yes, I use those.

(Of course deep in my heart I want a system that doesn't use templates as I don't like them.)

Any one of a hundred methods employed by other WWII wargames? Failing that just make them all point fire.

The easiest way is pick a target unit and any secondary unit within x cm is also hit.

Well, I know it states two different sizes in the E:A rules -- "a Barrage template that has a diameter of 7.4cm, and a larger Orbital Bombardment template that has a diameter of 12cm" -- but I wasn't sure if those were the sizes of the GW templates. If so, then great. I'm there.

But that is a burst template (in a sense)? Except that all blast are equal sized.

Yes, but it doesnt use templates. The problem that I have is that of using a template of a fixed size which is not defined in the rules. So, if you lose the template, you are in trouble.

Yeah, we don't have any template and it's real pain to play these weapon in the nid list. Does anyone know at least how long it is and how wide ( max )?
thx

You can find copies of the template on the last page of the Aerospace section in the online rulebook (section 4). Print them out, glue them to some card-board, and you've got a template. Easily replaceable and far cheaper then buying plastic ones.
