Well WL are doing a Tournament recommendations …. but you’ll find that the TO will decide once they have the rules in their hands… they may bin the official platoons and say use the v2 ones <shrugs> who knows

I’m curious as to how this will affect the tournament scene. If there is limited numbers of platoons allowed in a tournament, then competitive players will have to weigh the options of what platoons would be most beneficial to run now that you can’t use flamethrowers, tanks, and artillery in the same platoon.

At this point we don’t know much,…[Read more]

Nat,

Yeah that does make sense. I guess we will have to wait for the official rules to drop before we know anything for sure.

But I’m liking what I see right now. 

Also, it seems like an odd choice to have “1 rifle platoon unlocks 1 of EACHother” rather then “one rifle platoon unlocks 1 other”. But then again, who would bring 2 rifle platoons…[Read more]

Ok warlords FB account has confirmed that it’s 1 rifle Platoon unlocks 1 each of the other 5 at the same time

one other restriction – you can only have as many multiples of any Platoon type as you have Rifle Platoons. For example, if you want to field two Armoured Platoons, you’ll need two Rifle Platoons, and so on. Other than that – the choice is yours! [/quote]

now without the writen rules – this is just Marcus’ chat about it… it reads that i…[Read more]

From what I am reading, my gaming group is conflicted, it’s One Rifle Platoon for Each Support Platoon. Am I correct?

well this is only part of the equation… the rest is still in the dark!

we dont know what rules are changing
we dont know HOW the costs are changing
we dont know how unit composition is changing … it could be that compulsory choices must be taken at full strength.
etc etc

all in all it looks like a good change for gaming groups.  The…[Read more]

This looks somewhat more historical than v3

My bad, meant to say: ‘This looks somewhat more historical than V2’

Thanks Steve! I’ll check that out.

Might be worth checking out (and even contacting) the chaps that run the SNAFU podcast. They focus on BA tournaments in your corner of the world. They also run their own. Very informative about the game in general too.

“HMGs in V3 will get 6 shots each”

*M16 half-track intensifies*

Cool that sounds interesting. I’m glad that WL is releasing an article about lists building, since I bet a lot of the points costs will be shaken up.

Mmgs/ hmg change – confirmed – screen shot of vehicle card from the starter set

Green rule – change confirmed – screen shot of a page of the rules and in the rulebook order page.

Engineers rule – this is from one of the campaign books

List building changes… sounds like it’ll be discussed this week in the v3 article… from talking to WL…[Read more]

On second thought, I think I’ll actually wait to set my list in stone and start building until V3 comes out. Rumors are that MMGs and HMGs will get buffed to 6 shots, and engineers and other types of infantry are changing.

Howdy Aidan!  The serious Bolt Action players here go to the Las Vegas Open every year.  There’re also tournaments in Salt Lake City, at a store called Gajo Games….

Nope. No social media other than browsing this forum. Except every once in a while I search Reddit to see how people paint their models or build their lists, but other than that I try to stay away from the toxic tornado.

Oh ok, thanks.

Nice I’ll have to play with that from now on. Because trying to maneuver to get a close to the bridge as possible, even though you are a half inch from the base kind of breaks the immersion.
