Any word on this question?

Jaesen started the topic South Africa Rule Question in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

Bloody Mindedness vs Preparatory Barrages and/or Artillery Strikes from a Forward Observer:

Would pins received from table results that are anything other than direct hits subsequently come off of South African infantry and artillery units since no casualties were scored?

The question of whether they’re actually being hit by HE on results other…[Read more]

When does the Pilum take effect? Presumably the first round of every combat? Or is it only on “Clash”?

Jaesen replied to the topic Multi Launcher – Line of Sight or Spotter in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 3 months ago

Line of sight only. No multiple launcher currently has a spotter option.

Frankly, they’re already broken enough lol.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Vs. Japanese infantry, you’ll likely want to put your own squads in terrain and on Ambush, as no matter how close they are you’ll still get to shoot as they come in. wait to shoot point-blank on your Ambush to up your hit chance and take as many out as possible before melee, THEN the melee will be simultaneous due t…[Read more]

Jaesen replied to the topic Commonwealth National Characteristics question in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago

In addition, related to the Commonwealth topic… for purposes of the 1940-42 Commonwealth Infantry Brigade on pg 99 of Campaign: The Western Desert, is the term “Commonwealth” a shortening or disambiguation of the term “British Commonwealth of Nations”, understood to include Britain, her Empire, and protectorates/dominions of the time such as I…[Read more]

Are the PDF versions of the “Armies have errata updates? Or are they identical to the print version?

Jaesen started the topic Commonwealth National Characteristics question in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago

Some confusion in our local group as to how Commonwealth countries work, that needs a bit of clarification. Hoping the forum folks can help out!

Does a Commonwealth country such as India or Canada get the free British FO etc, and the only thing different is the 5 characteristic choices in AoGB are replaced by the associated choices for that c…[Read more]

Jaesen started the topic Detecting Submarines not yet on the board in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 7 months ago

What is the mechanism for finding a sub for which a model has not yet been placed?

Presumably ships with sub hunter can blind roll if they’re in a sector against running deep, but what about planes with ASW? Can they even see things running deep?

Bumping, so it doesn’t get buried… 🙂

Jaesen replied to the topic Torpedo Rules in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 8 months ago

Torpedoes take planning and tricksiness to use. You have to get up close, and take the risks inherent in getting that close.

Destroyers and Cruisers are using their speed and a few judiciously utilized Evade orders to get in close and be ready to pounce (as first activation on a non-Evade) if you happen to win initiative.

Granted, your rolls…[Read more]

Jaesen started the topic Bulgarian Counter-partisan Experts rule vs Forward Deployment in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 8 months ago

As it reads on AoIatA pg 64, it prevents forward deployment by any unit using sniper/spotter/observer, so it would prevent forward deployment by things like Night Infiltrators, Suicide AT Teams, Native Irregulars etc that use the spotter deployment mechanism as well, right?

Secondly, does the rule’s anti-outflanking provision override scenario…[Read more]

Jaesen replied to the topic Yugoslavian army list in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago

The Bulgarians wanted a slice of Yugoslavia too, and a Balkan campaign would be a nice opportunity to get them expanded selectors/ options the way the Hungarians did in Fortress Budapest.

Jaesen replied to the topic Tank and turret pivots in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 2 months ago

The follows above are correct if you’re talking about ambushing. The tank would not be allowed to pivot its hull/chassis to bring its hull- or casemount-mounted weapon to bear on an ambush, but a turret would be able to turn.

If you’re talking about moving for purpose of making indirect fire ranging reset, I’d say that a hull/chassis pivot…[Read more]

Jaesen started the topic SAS Deception Teams in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 2 months ago

First, does the Deception special stack when using multiple teams? (I presume not)

Second, any reports of the effectiveness of the improvised bombs they use? Or are they more of an area denial tool?

Thanks!

There are more rules about engineers and usage of explosives in Duel in the Sun and Western Desert. You may want to check there!

The New Guinea book has several lists that would include the 6lber for Australia

Jaesen replied to the topic 25-Pounder in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 4 months ago

Remember also that you can’t indirect fire on ambush. So, as LordRao said, make sure to announce what type of ammo is loaded (AT vs HE) for your ambush as it’ll be for direct fire use only.

Jaesen started the topic Stummel question in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 4 months ago

Hi there… looking for a quick clarification on the Stummel entries in AoG.

The 251/9 shows transport capability AND tow capability, where the 250/8 does not.

Does this mean that if I take the 251/9 in a tank slot (or vehicle slot in an armoured platoon) that it can also serve as a transport and/or tow? Or does it lose those capabilities if i…[Read more]

Jaesen replied to the topic Hungarian German tanks in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 5 months ago

Thank you!

The Axis Support unit is not limited to tanks, correct? So if the Axis Support slot on easyarmy only shows a certain selection of German tanks, if I wanted to take an armored car or sp artillery, that’s legal?

Additionally, it appears that the easyarmy Bulgarian Reinforced Platoon omits an armored car slot, where the book pg 64 has…[Read more]
