Nat replied to the topic Rules Question: Brandenburgers' In Game Effect Requirements in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 4 months ago
If the rules are different between books you choose which book you are using and forget the entry’s exist in any other book.
A number of the units are really only fit for use within the scenarios of the book they are in and can cause imbalance when used in generic reinforced platoons and pick up games
This is one of the reasons why people are…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Aircraft queries – shooting with and at in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 4 months ago
1) only local X trait can be used in the movement phase at flights crossing a ships model (including the base – as this is the range for local in the gunnery phase).
Note local X and AA batteries shoot at the start of the gunnery phase – what is unofficially called the AA step. DP is used when the ship activates in the ship step…[Read more]

Garry Wills replied to the topic Main BP2 rulebook v Epic Battle rulebook in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 4 months ago
My comment was certainly not directed at you, my first comment expressed my gratitude for your pointing out these differences. A lot of players only use the QRS and this leads to a lot of misunderstandings. The EB diagram you shared is clearly inconsistent with the core rules. I tend to interpret ‘less than half’ in terms of frontage. Columns are…[Read more]

A chunk of it (faq) is based on feedback from tournaments…
The you get a number of them banning the 15 point tows as they are just a possible one move and then a very cheap order die doing nothing…..

Definitely Alex, there are surprisingly few people who have actually read the rules.

Big Al, ‘failed to mention’, I think you will find, I thought it was irrelevant to the discussion. All the best Garry

Garry Wills replied to the topic Main BP2 rulebook v Epic Battle rulebook in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 4 months ago
BP is pretty clear that the only range that matters is the distance between the leader model/centre of front to the closest visible base of the target. If this distance is in range, the whole of the firing unit and the whole of the target are in range. The rules explicitly states this. The best way to picture it, for muskets, is the 18 inch…[Read more]

Faq pg. 16
“If a heavy artillery piece is not deployed (like in scenarios where
everything starts off map), and the army does not include a tow/
towing vehicle, does it mean the artillery piece cannot enter the
battle? Is it lost, like reserves that fail to enter?
We will make an exception to the rules in this case, allowing
heavy guns that start…[Read more] -
Garry Wills replied to the topic Main BP2 rulebook v Epic Battle rulebook in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 4 months ago
Thanks for posting this, I wondered what the differences were. I have too many 15mm already to divert to Epic. Anyway regarding your question, I would have thought a leader model was the same in all formats, it is the leader model that determines visibility not a leader base, so in a 13.5 mm model of 5 ish mm wide, it cuts down the options. The…[Read more]

The German AT gun servicewas ranked by size.
8,8 and 12,8 cm AT guns had been part of the Atrmy and Corps artillery. So not in division. They got used mainly to defend “Schwerpunkte” where large enemy Tank forces had been expected. The weight caused the static use, sometimes under concrete. It was essential to protect the flanks. And g…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Practical question about Carrier models, and the Catastrophic Explosion rule in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 4 months ago
1) yes under the points system in the rulebook Carriers include the number of flights in the stats, these are chosen (type and role) when you write the list – you can end up with more flights (cost wise) than the carrier cost you quite easily!!
2) Yep for a slight chance of a catastrophic explosion (6 to damage, 4+ to confirm, 10 on a D10…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Assault of New Guinea Question in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 4 months ago
I’d lean to the view that its platoons that cant be mixed not the force as a whole… this is backed up by the fact you can take armoured platoons alongside infantry platoons in the stalingrad campaign book.

Charge The Guns replied to the topic Household Cavalry regiment morale (Albion Triumphant 2) in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 4 months ago
Hi Legere, as the ‘guard’ cavalry of the British forces I am not at all surprised by the Lifeguards and Horse Guards having a better Morale than the other British cavalry. ‘3’ seems a fair value.
The way the rules work, the Morale save is the score needed on a D6 to be able to ignore a ‘hit’ from shooting or melee. So a Morale of 3 is better th…[Read more]

I think you’ve stumped the people who play! (I’ve not played the game yet so don’t want to answer)
Might be worth asking on FB /emailing the service guys to pass on to the rules team
