With DAK Motorbicycle units are a must.  And naturally no German horse there, not like in Europe. There more cavalry served than Kradschützen.

In fact the heavy German BMW and Zündap are great, even 2020 – On streets. Pure fun to drive, or in sidecar.  But even in European countryside not nice to move away from street. In Africa’s dunes it was…[Read more]

That’s a great looking force, George.  Well done for getting it finished.  Look forward to seeing the Dutch completed to face off against them!

Hi Bolebg.  I will have a go at answering your questions.

a. Table size. Given the choice I would go for 8’ x 6’.  6’ x 4’ is ok, but perhaps better for smaller battles.

b. On a 6’ x 4’ I would go for something like 8-16 units per side on the assumption that your units are around 6” wide.  On 8’ x 6’ you can go for a much larger number of uni…[Read more]

Hi James,  looking in the Shieldwall supplement, Vikings can have some ‘Thrall’ Javelin armed skirmishers in small units which have the same stats. as just about everyone else’s javelin skirmishers.

I just saw this in Bolt Action 2nd Ed page 57:

TROOPS, SOFT-SKINNED AND ARMOURED TARGETS (last paragraph)

Small-arms and light automatic weapons such as rifles, submachine guns and light or medium machine guns don’t add a bonus to damage. This means it is it is impossible to score more than 6 when rolling to damage using these weapons.

I t…[Read more]

That would help. If it’s a reasonable reading of the rules that motorcycles are basically infantry, and that motorcycles can advance 12″ and dismount in place as part of that advance, and that they can also fire that turn as infantry are allowed to fire as part of an advance move, that could make them work. A squad entering from reserves could run…[Read more]

That sounds very interesting. If you need another player, feel free to send me a message. Especially if you need a CO for the USS Missouri; I just received my Missouri model in the mail today and I’m eager to take her out for a rip.

Also, apologies, I skimmed this question:

Wow, what program are you using in that screenshot? Is that through Tabletop Simulator? Also, look at all those custom planes and hexagonal coastline tiles. That’s impressive.

Everything you see is a physical token. I have made a playing surface and own several fleets (won some in a contest, bought o…[Read more]

Thank you Big Al, you’ve put that clearly and thanks for covering both brigade and separate orders.

Thanks Nat.

Would you have a quote on the Devastating rule change? I would need to give supporting evidence to my players.

Right, the it would all depend on your order and how you worded it. You should issue a “brigade” order to include both units, something like “this warband and skirmishers will charge the enemy warband.”

as you know, skirmishers cannot charge formed infantry, but the term “charge” does not mean that a unit must make contact. If it is not allowed…[Read more]

it doesnt state that small arms cant generate more than 1 pin or have a PEN value, the rule book only states that heavy weapons do and so implies that small arms cant..

Pin markers (Page 39)

Every time a unit is fired at by an enemy unit and suffers one or more hits as a result, place a single pin marker next to it.

Small arms weapons follow…[Read more]

@Cameron – hi there… you might want to have a look at the campaign book ‘Germany strikes’ it was (like a lot of them) written for v1 of Bolt Action but does contain a Danish army list…..

I’m hoping for just about every card they’ve already released to be corrected with the rules in the main rule book…..

or at least give us the points to ‘refit’ the destroyers in to carrying depth charges…. (and look, we’re back to asking about proof reading! :p)
