you’d need 6 DDs to protect all the base…

No, I don’t need any DDs to protect the base. Only one to smoke.

If the bridge of the ship is in smoke, then the ship is un-targetable by any attack. As long as the smoke from the first DD reaches and covers the bridge of the CV, the CV is invisible and invulnerable, unless the enemy has a gunship wit…[Read more]

@clockwork, are you on Facebook? If so the wardroom has a document with the commonally  used in naval war games abbreviations – although most are NATO to be honest :p

I don’t think this has come up much…if at all

now the diagrams show smoke from the base…but the rules indicate that it should be the bridge – good question will ask the wardroom!

aircraft attacking ships in smoke, I’m tempted to say no they can’t because they wouldn’t be able to see the ships to attack…however I don’t thin the QSR says…[Read more]

As a followup, here’s an example lineup

The bridge of the CV is in the smoke laid by the middle DD and therefore the CV cannot be attacked.

The middle DD is flanked by two evading DDs

The CV cannot fire at anything, because it sees nothing, but that doesn’t matter because she can still launch planes (air ops don’t require line of sight to…[Read more]

Right you are

DD- destroyer

CL- light cruiser

CA – cruiser

BB- battleship/battlecruiser

CV- carrier

Is this right?

DD-wise, the German ones are beasts; just for the HP and guns they bring along. Note the lack of AA though. Japanese DDs with Type 93s are also good for sacrificial anti-capital duty too.

CL-wise, Aganos are lovely little darlings (dem Type 93s) but the Leanders come a close second IMHO

CA-wise, not so sure. The USN CAs with their 9 guns and…[Read more]

These Thunderbolts look great !

Here some of my recent planes – I changed my painting style which worked quite good for the A6M2 Zero.

Loving the Batmobile!

“To me as always reulesbook is not clear. ”

I have to disagree with you here.

The rule is quite simply stated – p36, Units, One-Inch Gap, “… units must always end their move 1″ or more from any other unit whether friend or foe.” with a stated exception for close quarters.  The second para then adds that you can’t move within 1″ of an enemy…[Read more]

Yes based on the current rules the rifle grenade adaptor is a heavy weapon. I guess some players would like to see the following added (just to make it absolutely clear) in the next Bolt Action errata:

All rifle grenade adaptors/VB launcher entries in all books. Add the following line:

The rifle grenade adaptor/VB Launcher is considered a heavy…[Read more]

Very nice .

Nat,

thank you so much for the response, and the reinforcement of the rules.

I base my artillery on 45mm bases but sometimes it is difficult to get the whole crew on. In cases where I cannot get the whole crew on one base I will base the rest of the crew on a separate 15mm x 45mm base thus having a deeper profile rather than a wider one. I wargame in 28mm.

Hi George,

A very nice looking Bavarian army.
