Nick replied to the topic spotter and holding objectives in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 7 months ago
My objection to spotter holding taking something is economic. A 50 point mortar and 10 point spotter would be able to take 2 objectives.
That doesn’t seem quite right .

Currently I am building a japanese army. I have no idea on what their native irregulars would like and where to get figures for them.
Since this is new army be prepared for lotsa rules questions.
Thanks

Sorry if this has been answered. If a unit is charged, does not shoot, and has not done anything yet, does it use an order dice fighting in the close combat ?

In armies of Soviet Union lend lease shows only way to get a M3 scout car is under the Armor car section. The M3 in armor car section shows it to be unable to carry passengers. Easy Army shows them in Transport section but how did they get there. Do they show up in another book I don’t have
Thanks

I don’t know about railings and movement. What I know is I would not want to be a driver or 50 cal gunner with 2 30 cal gunners shooting thru front arc. I also would not want to be a side gunner when the other side gunner has climbed over railing ,holding onto weapon and shooting thru my arc. It was probably done but my guess is rarely.

I’m not sure how we ended up playing like this but we think it is wrong. Do multi-shot small arms weapons ( assault rifle,submachine gun , etc. ) get 2 shots in close combat assaults than reroll hits or do they just get one shot and reroll if it hits. Thanks for all response this forum gives.

And I thought this was a simple couple questions. To bad there aren’t any tournaments to drive judges crazy . Anyway till more definitive answer comes along we’ll house rule this one.
Thanks to everyone for input.

Nick replied to the topic Units on transport in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 4 months ago
Since we use a fair amount of flamers I know this will come up. A flamethrower hits a transport but does not destroy or immobilize it , the transport passes the fire test would both transport and riders take same amount of pins. Also if it hits but doesn’t penetrate would pins also apply to both. The value of a flamethrower can really go up or…[Read more]

Nick started the topic Units on transport in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 4 months ago
This happened recently. A transport with a squad in was hit and destroyed by both a panzerfaust and flamethrower coming from same unit. Questions: Does the hit unit for wounds (after d6) get hit by the penetration of the weapons or just their morale level? Would the unit if technically hit by flamer also need a flamer morale test ?
Thanks ahead of time

Nick replied to the topic Tanks reaction fire in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 4 months ago
Along the reaction fire lines, I would assume (oh oh ) the hull could not pivet to shoot if attacl coming from side or rear. But would the turret get a free rotate in order to fire.

This is a pure guess. Green guys are simply inexperienced and new. Inexperienced and not available as green means they just suck and already had experience and didn’t improve.
