Hoff started the topic Partisan Home Country "anti-infiltrate" rule question. in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 4 weeks ago

Do rules that turn off infiltrate from Snipers, Observers, and Spotters (e.g. Hungarian Roving Patrols, Partisan Home Country, etc.) also turn off infiltrate for things like Soviet Anti-Tank Teams, Soviet Scouts, or Japanese Suicide Anti-Tank Teams or are they specifically only vs. Snipers, Observers, and Spotters?

Thankyou for your message!

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Forward Air Observer/ Airstrike Question in the forum Bolt Action 3 months ago

The token is a model or marker and is placed 18″ from the target in any direction (it even makes reference to using a single agreed point on the model/marker for measurement at the end of the paragraph your quote is taken from).

Page 116: RESOLVING THE WARPLNE ATTACK ”First of all, place a suitable token 18” away from the intnedend target…”

Question: Can I place the tolken 360 degrees around the target, or do I draw a line between the observer and the target and then measure 18” from the target?

Even a year after its publication, I am still surprised at how…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic M15 in the forum Bolt Action 3 months ago

Multiple HE hits only yield a single set of pins, see p100, Weapons, HE (High Explosive), Multiple HE Hits, second para. The pins from HE (or other multiple pin weapons) replace the standard single pin for scoring hits on a target unit, they’re not in addition.

“I then fire the hmgs at the same target, hit and roll to wound” shows a…[Read more]

Mike replied to the topic I believe that the PIAT should be able to use indirect fire in the forum Bolt Action 3 months ago

Interesting. I am not sure the “indirect” fire really works. Are spotters really calling in fire to Piat teams?

Instead, it seems like you just want to fire at targets over 12″ range up to 30″ range and treat it as a HE (1″) indirect fire shot when it comes to…[Read more]

i recently received my copy of the starter set, and I’m excited to get going, but i do have a question. there is a flyer in the box about a free getting started guide (field manual), but the link doesn’t work. Is the site not up yet, or am I doing something wrong?

Jonathan started the topic M15 in the forum Bolt Action 3 months ago

Question using M15 (2x hmg 1 heavy autocannon). Against infantry, if I fire the autocannon and score 2 hits, I place 2 1″templates adjacent to each other and roll to wound the appropriate number of figures. Do I get pins for each hit or just for 1? Assuming the infantry unit survives, I then fire the hmgs at the same target, hit and roll to wound.…[Read more]

J Gregory replied to the topic Rules Questions in the forum Bolt Action 3 months ago

Can a Forward Air Observer spot for a mortar team and then call in an Airstrike in the same turn? The FAQ says that a spotter/observer can only spot for one “Indirect Fire weapon” per turn, but I can’t find any reference to an Airstrike as Indirect Fire (in fact, the definition of IF on p.101 is “weapons that shoot HE shells indirectly” – an…[Read more]

Tom started the topic I believe that the PIAT should be able to use indirect fire in the forum Bolt Action 3 months, 1 week ago

There is plenty of documented evidence of the PIAT being used as regular mortar as well as an anti-tank solution, with the attached picture showing a British soldier demonstrating the correct method of utilising the PIAT in this manor. Note the white stripe down the spine of the weapon, this was used as a rough aiming guide for indirect fire.

Mike started the topic Tweaks I would make to Bolt Action v3 in the forum Bolt Action 3 months, 1 week ago

I like the rule system, but the following are things I think would streamline or improve them…

Assaulting infantry: I think there should be a class of infantry that has special close assault capabilities based on their weaponry and training (grenades, pistols, smgs, and other multi-shot weapons light enough to carry into an assault), there…[Read more]

Ben Norton "nzdarkelf" replied to the topic Attacking a village in the forum Black Powder 3 months, 1 week ago

They are all one unit, so yes they are fighting. If the melee caused the unit defending the village to break then the whole unit breaks, the part of the unit ‘on the other flank’ doesn’t get to stay. Why, because they are one unit – and you cannot fire into a unit in combat. If you and your opponent agree to house rule something else thats fine,…[Read more]

Greg replied to the topic Firearms Issues in the forum Bolt Action 3 months, 1 week ago

I agree with you that Warlord developers don’t seem to understand how weapons (or tanks, trucks, etc) work. That said:

1. Pistols, when available, are much faster to use in close quarters than other firearms. WLG shouldn’t have nerfed them.

2. 12ga shotguns with OO buckshot are lethal out to about 100 yards. That puts them at about the sam…[Read more]

John Ogden replied to the topic Attacking a village in the forum Black Powder 3 months, 1 week ago

I agree, but troops on a different flank aren’t fighting.

Ben Norton "nzdarkelf" replied to the topic Attacking a village in the forum Black Powder 3 months, 1 week ago

i’m saying you can’t fire into combat, even from another flank.

John Ogden replied to the topic Attacking a village in the forum Black Powder 3 months, 1 week ago

Hi,

So your saying the defenders may fire out of the village with those dice not being used in the melee, does that mean I can’t return fire. Remember this is a village not a singe house and we’re not talking about the same face as the melee is taking place.

Going through the new rule book and the new Armies of Great Britain book. I can not find any mention of the Highlanders. Is there any word as to when they will be available?

Thanks,
