you can photo copy /cut out the page at the back of the rulebook that has the tokens on…

Personally I’m using an old Dystopian Wars 45deg movement tool – doesnt matter what you use so long as it limits the turn of the ship to 45.
As for the other tokens they are just reminders, so a small puff of smoke or something like the  BA or CS pin…[Read more]

could be done in several ways –
1 box of everything – 1 box to rule them all
1 box of each type – 1 for eqipment, 1 for doctrines etc
1 box of the cards found in one nations aircraft boxes – eg 1 box that has all the Russian squadron & Ace box cards
or 1 box of every card NOT found in a nations boxes – eg the Russian box has all the cards that…[Read more]

I see your point, but i have to see that in a game to work out how this will affect the game, since i now have only the oneshot flights for combat and some dead points off the table. That might help in a victory point game since i wonder if someone brings enough flight firepower to destroy a halfway decent carrier?

Another question of our gaming…[Read more]

Its a trade off, you lose a small amount of recovery ability (remember you can only recover 2 flights a turn IF you use a scramble order & dont launch any flights) but gain the defensive ability of not being targetable except by enemy flights.

As per the WL FAQ, you dont give up any VP for being in Deep Deployment… so you opponent HAS to have…[Read more]

Hi,

but if i can`t recover with deep deployed carriers, shouldnt i be able to get onto the board to do so in the late game?

It dawned on me this past weekend that I wrote this post using “Lucky Jack” instead of “John Lucky.” I must have had Pirates of the Carribean floating in my subconcious ;).

If you look at the table on page 77, a shaken unit will not need to tabke a break test if it won the melee if they lose or draw they will need to take the test.

Thank you, Mike. I found that sentence in the rules after you mentioned it.

Here is another question. What if the winner in combat is also shaken? I read nothing that it has to make a break test. Only the loser.

So you would have attack both units as you did.  If you won the melee, than both the infantry and artillery unit would be required to take a break test.  Artillery is destroyed if it loses a melee, so it would be gone.  If the enemy infantry rolled 7 or higher, it would “hold its ground” and continue in melee.  But keep in mind in the next rou…[Read more]

They weren’t in the beta ship list, either. I asked the writer about their absence from the beta ship list when he was posting in the game thread over on DakkaDakka (back before the game was released), but he either somehow missed the intent of my question, or creatively redirected it into a non-answer. At the time, I just figured, “Well, it’s…[Read more]

Hi

I’m Dave, a Scot currently living County Cork. After playing GW games for almost 30 years I was lured into Bolt Action a couple of months ago. I’m a huge fan of old war movies so I didn’t take much luring! Having been raised on A Bridge Too Far I’ve started painting up a British Airborne platoon which is coming along gradual…[Read more]

The good thing about the system is that you can easily stat ships based on similar classes
