soviets are easier because even in 1941 they have whole units armed with SMGs… its just that if you wanted to make 3 units of rifle armed guys from a box you cant….(oh dear what I shame out of 2 boxes of guys I now have 2 units of SMG guys)

But yeah..with Bolt Action take the rules as a starting point and common ground for playing people..…[Read more]

Sandbags – I’d say that you can use them for the mortar or MMG or both – I presume that there is a points cost for them – but I’d say that if you relocate during the battle you can’t take the sandbags with you.  I would say that they are most likely to be used by the defender and put in position at the start of the game and they remain there…[Read more]

To avoid disputes, I would follow a rough reading of the rules. So the Russians follow their “Demolition Charges” rule and the Americans their “explosives” rule:
Americans can put explosives on obstacles and buildings.
Having said that by agreeing between players, the rules can be…[Read more]

I agree with Masterchief.

N.1 damage roll per model.
Tough fighters or weapons with a special “assault” rule that succeeded on the damage roll, reroll a second time.

If you’re talking about moving for purpose of making indirect fire ranging reset, I’d say that a hull/chassis pivot in place would not count, nor would simply turning a turret.  The key term being “in place”.

I just add how the movement must be done to reset the indirect shot adjustment. From rulenook “…to count as ‘moved’,…[Read more]
