So about the same level of checking as Cruel Seas before printing ?

Played our first game today. Was not good at all.  Points system is bizarrely unbalanced, way too many fiddly random modifiers and non-random modifiers. Assaults rules are far too unwieldy.

The system is a touch disorganised. It is a more complex system than Bolt Action since it adds a lot more tech, weapons and armour. It does take a bit of work…[Read more]

I would be happy with any of these…………..

Risorgimento

Crimean War 1853-1856

Danish War 1864

Austro-Prussian War 1866

Franco-Prussian War 1870

………..or Carlist Wars……….

But I think the above reply is true, they would want it to be a popular period.

That’s a really useful summary, Nat.  Thanks for sharing 👍

ok. It sound reasonable.

Thanks. Yes, it is there. I found it 🙂

Thanks! I can see mine spiraling also! Want to do a Burma British force as that’s where my grandad was, but not entirely sure what models would be appropriate for normal troops, not Chindits/Gurkhas

Nice work. I started playing Bolt Action with the 101st Airborne, and my army just continue to grow on their own … my French resistance platoon just arrived today 😅

I thought you meant the hardcopies were at Ospreygames website. Now I see the PDFs available as well at £16 each. If you buy both the hardcopy and the PDF or ePub version, you get 25% discount for both. I’ll wait for the Warlord PDFs.

I dont get how one publisher can have them available on their site yet the other partner doesnt….

ok I also dont get how DDay Canadian is £16, & Marinas in £19.19 for ebook & PDF but yeah…..

Does anyone here have any idea as to when the new D-Day book; “D-Day: British & Canadian Sectors – Bolt Action Theatre Book”, will be available?

I just received my pre-ordered copy last Friday with the free Stan Hollis miniature. I am also waiting for the PDF as well.

That carronades shot more accurate was caused by the barrel that was closer to the ball size, less windage. The ball being driven with less “jumping” around. And the powder was used better, less energy being lost by passing the ball before leaving the muzzle.

Trained Gunner knew how to deal with the vivo, the difference between the bore and the…[Read more]

One of the topics that make real world and game crash.    The LMG loader carried the spare part and the tool bag, including the spare barrel. Bren magazines are distributed among all men carried in the amo pouches at webbing.

PIAT projectiles are carried in a case. The PIAT loader surely had no Bren parts so could not do the LMG job fully. The mo…[Read more]

Does the book tell you which product to purchase to represent which units?

While each carriage design would vary, and accurate drawings of carronades in situ on the standard slide carriage are tricky to find, those I have measured have had a maximum elevation of 14 degrees or more, which is slightly more than the port-limited elevation of guns (seldom much above 10 degrees).

That 5 degrees is the highest value recorded…[Read more]

You can find the Late War French Army list in the Battle of the Bulge Book. Great Army to play.
