Flamethrowers still suffer the -1 to hit penalty.  They do not suffer the -1 PEN penalty that heavy weapons suffer at long range.

My understanding is for 6in range weapons the Point Blank and Long Range modifiers cancel each other out, except for flamethrowers, they do not suffer the long range penalty as explained on Bolt Action 2nd Ed page 67:

Also, flamethrowers don’t rely on kinetic energy to penetrate a target’s armour, so they don’t suffer the –1 Pen penalty…[Read more]

Hello everyone,

I am Steiner. I am the kid in the block. I am still struggling with the rules and the many possibilities they offer. However, the more I play, the more I love this game.

Please, be patient with me 🙂 because I will ask many questions.

I mean, Missouri on her own is more than a match for 2-3 Kongos

Just the AP power, armor and Damage Dice / Critical Hit output is insane.

I don’t know the point cost for Arizona, but if she’s anything like the NewMex she can deal with two of them no problem.

Although this post said I was the last to update it, I can’t see my last post.

One of the problems is the generic definition of “rough” ground.  Dense woodland, deep mud, sand and rubble are given as examples, and whilst riding a motorbike (particulalry a combination) through sand and mud is not easy it is certainly possible (there are lots of WWII pictures to support this).

When ordered to Run, fixed weapons move the normal 12″ over open ground or 6″ over rough ground, obstacles etc.

It is always a good idea to check the  latest FAQs and Errata, as many issues have probably been highlighted by…[Read more]

*although if you manage to get a 6 to hit as its indirect it would be very unsportsman like to pull out the ‘it doesnt say its a heavy weapon’ argument :p

I understand that can be disputes, but to me is simple to resolve.
HE1 then PEN+1, then follow all rules of heavy weapon. Rules says “heavy weapon add a bonus to the roll to damage” and “HE rou…[Read more]

Hi Marius, the period is probably not as popular as Napoleonic (Black Powder) or Roman Empire (Hail Caesar), but it has still has plenty of people playing it as evidenced by all of the different social media content I see.  Warlord are still selling the Pike and Shotte rules, still have a pretty vast stock line for the period, and have brought…[Read more]

Haha, a four Kongo game would be great. If there were some way to play on-line, I’d do it. Missouri, Arizona, Chicago and Northampton would make it a four on four, 1500 pts vs 1500 pts, guns only deathmatch.
