Hi,

Just got into Bolt Action. What are rules for using bazooka vs bunkers/mg nests, artillery positions & Infantry in Trench systems? There does not seem to anything in rules book?

Currently there is nothing special for them. It’s just a normal shot with a high pen value and a low chance of hitting, no HE or anything special. Too early to comment if there’s any change coming with third edition next month.

“DDay campaign books especially US beach” – I was only able to find anything in a single theatre selector, D-Day: Overlord, p176, US Beach Landing Reinforced Platoon, Special Rules, Fortification Assault Training – Bazookas get a +1 to hit vs bunkers and buildings, and a 1″ HE vs bunkers and buildings.

The reality was that anti-tank grenades, panzerfausts, and bazookas were used against machinegun and anti-tank gun emplacements at least as much as against tanks. The +1 to hit for the panzerfaust & bazooka, with the 1″ HE rule seems to work pretty well for our battles. Anti-tank grenade launchers were less accurate, so we fire them normally and use the 1″ HE rule.
