Nat replied to the topic Jock Column Themed Army List in the forum Bolt Action 1 month, 3 weeks ago

I’d go with that trucks taken out by small arms is a gameplay balancing act (they did roll on damage tables in v2 so the change is either gameplay or writters)

Or house rule that the porteee / gunshield means you roll on the vehicle damage chart (full damage) instead of auto destroyed?

Nat replied to the topic I believe that the PIAT should be able to use indirect fire in the forum Bolt Action 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Theres a couple of issues here…
1 – indirect rule allows the use of spotters.. which isnt really historical
2 – it wasnt that accurate
3 – BA isnt the most accurate game – either weapons, tactics or history

4 – slot / unit compition within an army list – they removed medium mortars from the rifle pltn and let light mortars so that ther was a…[Read more]

There is no need for a spotter to fire indirect. With a line of sight indirect fire can be useful to shoot over friendly troops. No spotter needed for that. Also handy to shoot at opponents hiding behing a wall or something like that. It would negate the save roll.

We got Konflikt 47 games in AZ in Chino Valley at Cow Dog games, and in Jerome at Copper Town games.

I have not played V3 but have played V2. I have decided to start a new army for V3, but have a hit a conundrum which I need help with.

I am building a themed army of a Dec 1941 Jock column from Operation compass. The following units made up a Jock column.

2nd Battalion the Rifles – going for 2 squads infantry platoon. They where always short on…[Read more]

Howdy Mike!

IIRC, some of the Version 2.0 scenario books have provisions for playing “Special” characters/historical figures. IDK if this was deliberate on Warlord Games part to link the miniatures with the game, but it seems like it. I’d imagine it’s the same idea behind the KELLY’S HEROES models and miniatures. Just one guy’s $.02….

Can anyone from the Bolt Action advisory board let me know if anyone in the group is considering special rules for the special figures. They could be prepared as optional rules section to give the game a bit more flash. The special abilities should align with the underlying narrative Warlord provides about the character and should not minor.

Mike replied to the topic Italian vehicles in German service? in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago

I wish there were a way to import units from other army lists for various reasons including the reason you noted. Perhaps in the future that could happen with a simple note that the list does not conform to the “approved” lists. This would help in a variety of cases, not just the one you are dealing with.

…26 (points) more than the Americans, for a Panzerschreck (Pen +6).

If given the choice, I would be happy to pay an 26 extra points to change my American veteran bazooka team from Pen +5 to Pen +6.

If I pay the 26 points, can I say my American veteran bazooka team is using a captured German panzerschreck (Pen +6)? (wink, wink)

Russell started the topic Italian vehicles in German service? in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago

I am trying to build some Italy German forces and use some of the captured and also German built vehicles and the army builder app has no support for captured vehicles from Italy? is this an oversight or an omission? there seem to be a lot of French conversions or even Cech but help me out Warlord army builder app

Teikoku U started the topic ADGZ armored car profile mistake(need fix) in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago

I double check, both profile and lore section incorrect – this car actually has BOTH MMG and Light AC, not only one. Now we have AC as option to change mmg in turret, maybe we need add second one?

and…see no free option for soviet armored platoon in app, also need fix for it 😉

Ghettotech replied to the topic Pin value on Tesla Guns in the forum Konflikt '47 2 months ago

I guess there is some other balancing factor. (hits/pen.)

It may also depends on what to shoot to make it strong. “GTravity Pulse” seems stronger on Infantry than Vehicles/Walkers. From my expirience so far.

Jeff Knez replied to the topic Panzerschreck Costs in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago

Interesting posts. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

The real issue I have is this; the Americans are paying 78 points for a Veteran Bazooka team (Pen +5). The Germans are paying 104 points, 26 more than the Americans, for a Panzerschreck (Pen +6). All the stats for both units are the same except the penetration. Seems a steep price to pay for…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Panzerschreck Costs in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago

In the MRB list, the veteran premium is only applied to the base anti tank rifle team cost with the panzershrek as a fixed price upgrade. In AoG, the veteran premium is applied to the regular panzershrek team as a whole. It’s a function of the unit pricing system throughout Bolt Action. Opinion – all options should have pricing by experience le…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic Panzerschreck Costs in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago

Howdy Jeff!

Warlord Games is a British company. IMO, it’s just all part of standard policy to screw the German player, in favor of the Allies, particularly the British. Why did the cost of a Panzerfaust go from 5 to 15? Why do certain Russian units get to have Panzerfausts, they didn’t produce them? What happened to “Tiger Fear”? Why is the…[Read more]
