Nat replied to the topic Sherman Easily catches fire in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 5 months ago
No, it adds PINs so that the ‘on fire’ check which failure = destroyed is harder.
Yes they caught fire easier from a spark, but had the same chance (roughtly speaking) of that spark happening.
So basically you have a 1 in 2 chance of being blown up, & a 1 in 2 chance of having being bonced round… whilst being bounced round you have a chance of…[Read more]

Ok… it was discussed here on the forums
long story short… it looks like the chaplians quality dictates the roll required

The intelligence officer is just an upgrade for a normal front officer. So he is part of the unit anyway and his ability is the unit ones.
The chaplain is no ordinary company or battalion officer, he is from division. So he can have a different ability. The different cost spent give the ability he has, not the unit ones.

@Nat haha yes, and also because to some of the “super smart, know-it-all, war veteran” players, this is so obvious that it does not warrant one, if you know what I mean 😉

Nat replied to the topic Chaplains in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 5 months ago
Good news is the Chaplains rules are the same in the DDay, BotB & New Guinea books….
Bad news is, its exactly the same wording… and they dont like doing FAQ /Errata for the Campaign books 🙁
Now I seem to remember it being discussed before either here or on one of the facebook groups…

Master Chief replied to the topic Chaplains in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 5 months ago
The wording is definitely not clear, but it should be based on the experience of the chaplain. It is similar to the wording for the intelligence officer, but for the latter it was stated in the descriptive on page 25:
The ability of the Intelligence Officer is, for the purposes of Bolt Action, tied to their experience: the modifier for their…

Nice Mimikri camo.
Iconic vehicle. I was inside the Munster copy. Nothing for 1,83 m men……….

I think we digress as the OP was about the great war.
Regarding this part, as long as no one intend to play planes from WWI against their WWII counter part, firepower scaling may tolerate some marging if not a scal of its own or all the planes may end with FP 0 to 1.
BTW, about afterburner, it should have a counterpart (like start with one…[Read more]

and a 77mm gun. 😉
Very nice force. I love them,
I must. I have exactly the same miniatures. And some more. BA is good for the 1914 and 1918 mobile warfare. Or for raids, my 42 cm Mörser makes a good objective.

… hmm lets spitball some ideas (with 0 prior thought on the subject!)for modern aircraft in BRS – speed is in 100s not 50s
Jet 3 – 1970s + jets… additional rule, “after burners”…aircraft may add +2 to both min & max movement
Missile card – each aircraft can have so many missile cards depending on type (ie harrier can allow you to…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Q about FAQ in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 5 months ago
If page 137 is not clear nothing will.
All you have to know for that scenario is there. On top right the types allowed and below why there is no light, medium and heavy. 100 % clear for anybody willing and able to read more than a single sentence. Absolutely nothing interpretable.
Only if you bring other page / books info into the dic…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic Q about FAQ in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 5 months ago
Rules to me must are like technical laws, they must are clear, for me a regulation must be written as a technical rule, not ambiguous, not doubly interpretable, if you define something with a word it must be like this from start to finish, not verbose but synthetic and schematic, the player only has to find the rule that fits the specific case. if…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic 1870 – French infantry colours in the forum Black Powder 3 years, 5 months ago
The French flags of 70/71 are mostly like in Crimean war.
The drapeau / flag for the other battalions was similar
But it was a war of many….. . For example the 14.000 Marins Bretonique that fought on land had a white one with Black POTIUS MORI QUAM FOEDARI and heraldic hermelin. Or the Voluntaires d’Alsace had a blue one with a white…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Question about the models. in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 5 months ago
That mid scale is nothing for me. I have literally thousands of Continental scale 1/1200 models und hundreds in 1/3000. So for that old collector and gamer that scale is neither fish nor fowl. The smaller has the advantag of playing size with fleets, the larger that of quality. Some with edged brass parts are just incredible.
And in these s…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Just want to say thank you in the forum Cruel Seas 3 years, 5 months ago
So true. And 1/300 is one of my most loved scales for Napoleonic ships and I love the Coastal WW II options we know have.
I only dislike that some models are not to scale, like the German Minesweeper. Claimed to be 1/300 its to small.

Isn’t it about page 137 and 138? Selecor Special rules off map Battery?
Top right on 137 you have “artillery” allowed on western bank = the play area. Someone not into WWII gaming and the rules will not even notice the missing of Artillery gun light, medium or heavy like in other scenarios , for example on p.136. Only gamers.
If one read…[Read more]

I agree its a nice change of scale of conflict …. unlike the 101 rules for land warfare!
looking forward to the UK opening up again so I can get more than the couple of games I’ve played in… with both my IJN & Soviet Red Fleet!
