Yes, bazooka and Panzer can shoot at infantry. Unless you rule a one to wound, which is always unsuccessful, that soldier will be dead if it was one of these weapons in the game. Real life, infantry soldier would’ve been blowing apart, and his friends will be looking for his dog tags in the goo.

Of course, penetration counts for all targets. This makes up for the difference between being hit by a pistol round, and a bazooka round.

Arty Gun replied to the topic Indirect HE hitting a building question in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 1 month ago
If your unit wasn’t hit it shouldn’t suffer pins. If the round went off on the floor below they were not hit. I would keep it simple. At least the building is hit on a 2 next time.

I recommend you roll a D6. HE on 1 – 3, AP on 4 – 6.
This is good for all these types of issues.

Arty Gun replied to the topic Is there a specialized rule for Panzergranadiers debussing from a Transport? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago
Good-day,
Based on your description of events the other player absolutely needed another order dice to dismount the section in the transport. The troops in the transport cannot be given a ‘snap to’ order from an officer even if the officer is in the transport – pg 116 of the rulebook.

Arty Gun replied to the topic Buildings vs Ruins in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 10 months ago
It’s true you don’t get the hardcover benefit when engaged by HE in buildings. With troops inside buildings, you can go down to make your unit hit on a five, or even a six if it is a small team and half the hits you take. Also, other modifiers affecting the shooting unit such as movement/pins/long range affect the odds of taking a hit. For small…[Read more]

Rifle Grenades are found in several units. You can go to the Easy Army website and look up your query on the “where is it” page:

Arty Gun replied to the topic What do YOU want to see in Bolt Action v3? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 1 month ago
One thing I would like to see that I didn’t notice is a change to HMGs. I recommend the range be extended from 36″ to 40″ to differentiate them a bit more, account for the longer ranges these weapons have in real life, and hopefully make them a viable option in V3.
I assume of course, they will do something to the points values for infantry…[Read more]

Arty Gun replied to the topic Can Medic attendants shoot? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 1 month ago
It says the medic team consists of the medic and his orderlies. I’m to Geneva convention it says the medic unit cannot fire – “Medic units can’t fire any weapons or assault into close order tests as normal if they are pinned.”p. 83.
So to my way of reading it, they did cover this rule but in two sentences. The orderlies cannot shoot and just ex…[Read more] -
Arty Gun started the topic Running from a ruins or rough ground to mount a vehicle in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 2 months ago
Good-day,
I recently played a game where my buddy wanted to “run” from ruins and board his transport. I said it wasn’t allowed.
My logic – I am sure all BA players know that infantry can’t run in rough ground/ruins. The exception is if they are doing a ‘6″ Assault Through Terrain’ move IAW pg 79 of the rules. To load a vehicle the unit must…[Read more]
