sorry thought I had 🙁 … I’ve now uploaded v1.2

Sorry thought I’d posted this already… its version 1.2

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..

However there is more in favour of them being a heavy weapon than not*… so I’m going to leave it here and wait to see if an offical answer is ever made :p.. and be very suprised…[Read more]

Also, can we please discuss Depth Charge and Sub hunter availability?

Sure, not all DDs had good sonar. Sure, a Clemson probably cannot detect subs that are Running Deep. Sure, Japanese DDs were notoriously bad at detecting subs before a big ship went boom. Sure, I’d be happy to see variation in Sub Hunter availability.

Kindly explain to me why…[Read more]

*Devastating is a prime example of this…. several of us read the different wording to mean the criticals on 5 +6s where auto successful, Matthew pointed out that they still needed confirming!

Bolt Action 2nd Ed:

PINNED (page 39)

In the case of some particularly heavy weapons two or more pin markers can sometimes be scored against a target in one go.

ROLL TO DAMAGE (page 56)

Heavy weapons add a modifier to the damage roll, allowing for a score of greater than 6.

As the rifle grenade launcher fires as a light mortar with Pen…[Read more]

Hi all, Based in Lancashire and working on Montrose vs Covenanters and Jacobites in Lancashire 1715 projects at the moment. The latter is possibly more a game for black powder however I prefer the flexibility of pike and shotte batallia so may try playing the battle of preston with both rule sets!

Dear All,

My name is Cameron, I am based in Lancashire and interested in all history post 1600. In terms of bolt action, the love of my life is my jatkosota Finns and Soviets (the terrain also makes a great Christmas village much to my housemates’ dismay).

I am currently working on a Danish army for a few 9. April 1940 games by converting…[Read more]
