It could be. I wrote to Warlord and they told me they would answer in the next FAQ

Master Chief replied to the topic Most interesting Allied force in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
I started playing Bolt Action 2nd Edition with the US Airborne, followed by Rangers, US Infantry, Soviets, 8th Army, LRDP, Afrika Korps, British Army and Commandos. Currently I am half way through my British SAS (European) force, to be followed by the British Airborne. Waiting in the wings are German (Heer, SS, Fallschirmjäger), Chindit,…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Nice Knee-Jerk on the Tiger Fear Warlord… in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
So a little of history mixed with a bit of game play… using tank veterancy rules as a base idea…here is Nats idea! ™ :p
Tiger fear : 1943 onwards. All German tanks with an armour value of 8+
If an activating unit can draw LoS to a unit with this rule it must take an order check or change its order to down or run, and must end its…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Most interesting Allied force in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
So define intresting….
looks / modeling – you’ve got the IFF late 1944, so you can do a mix of free french in US & British uniforms with US armour + resistance fighters (with IFF arm bands) & supporting SAS / para’s /rangers
You’ve got British /Free french/dutch/norwegian etc commandos
LRDG (long range desert group) for that raiders with…[Read more]

Tomato Paste often comes in these metal tubes in the UK. Not sure about the US.

Nat started the topic Bombers, dogfights & ships…what happens? in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 9 months ago
So a question came up on the wardroom today… so I thought I’d see what opions here is!
Scenario – there is a bomber flight (dive / torp /bomber..doesnt matter) thats touching the base of an enemy ship. Also touching the bomber flight but not the ship (not that would matter) is an enemy flight…
Now RAW doesnt say anything about this…so…[Read more]

Hello!
Are there any rules for the Panzernests? I didn’ found any. Or are they only nice terrain?
Greetings from Germany!

invisible officer replied to the topic Nice Knee-Jerk on the Tiger Fear Warlord… in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
I understand that peoples dislike the Tiger fear. But it was a well intended rule based on history, a psychological rule based on the Allied hystery about Tigers. Adding historical flavor.
We have literally hundreds of reports of being attacked by Tigers – with no kitten around for a hundred miles.
And in many Allied soldiers ran from “T…[Read more]

Master Chief replied to the topic Question about equiping Nid-late war US Marine NCOs with pistols in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
Do explain how holding a rifle, pistol, SMG, BAR or LMG would affect the NCO’s “leadership”. But as I said, players can believe what they will, and if they want to blame, blame it on the way the rules or FAQs are written, not on “interpretation”. If they want to complain, submit it to Warlord Games. I for one am waiting to see how Warlord Games…[Read more]

invisible officer replied to the topic Question about equiping Nid-late war US Marine NCOs with pistols in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
That gamy discussions about words. I can just repeat, officers and NCO are with a unit to lead, not to kill themselves. Serving a LMG makes their true job impossible.
So they should loose any officer / NCO Bonus.
And yes, it’s no historical simulation. But based on history. And real world. You can’t do many things at same time. Th…[Read more]

Not that thick can stuff but that formerly used on toothpaste tubes. They are today mostly made from plastic but other stuff still comes in that foil material. It is ideal.

Western Desert page 142 (which was included as a screenshot earlier):
Sahariana Infantry section
– Up to 2 men can replace their rifles with a submachine guns for +2pts
– 2 men may have light machine guns for +20pts each. For each LMG, another man becomes the loader.
– One man can be designated as the team medic for an additional +5ptThe reason…[Read more]

I’m, sorry but did you metal tubes? Is that what we can soda cans here in the USA?

Got a reply from Rick. I don’t think he’d mind me posting it here. Nice answer I thought.
– basically – you can’t be in a wood unless you are in open order –on page 38 – Woods. Most formed units require a move to change formation (formed light units can do so as part of a normal move but cannot charge at the same time) p36. Aside from skirmish…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Nice Knee-Jerk on the Tiger Fear Warlord… in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
I think they should take a leaf out of the Victory at sea book…where you set a year for your game..
that way you can put tiger fear as a national rule instead of a vehicle rule – ie 1944 & 1945 applys to all medium and heavy tanks
just an idea for v3….:p

Master Chief replied to the topic Question about equiping Nid-late war US Marine NCOs with pistols in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
Yes, that is indeed a contradiction. The only “work around” for now is for the NCO and another man to be upgraded with the LMGs, so that the remaining 2 men become the loaders. But that would risk losing both NCO and LMG should the NCO be taken out by sniper fire. We have to wait for the next FAQ to resolve this.

Master Chief replied to the topic Question about equiping Nid-late war US Marine NCOs with pistols in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
This is in the latest FAQ for the Western Deseet book:
Regarding Compagnia Sahariana. Squads are set at an NCO and 3
men. Up to 2 men may upgrade to SMG, Up to 2 men may upgrade
to LMG. Is the NCO meant to be able to upgrade to an SMG? Also,
if 2 LMGs are taken one will be automatically without a loader
(unless the NCO can load)?Answer: The…[Read more]

Master Chief replied to the topic spotter and holding objectives in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
Finally the latest Errata:
Page 71, Spotters. The following sentence will be added at the
end of the entry:Note that spotters are always ignored for the purpose of victory conditions (e.g. they cannot capture/control/hold objectives and areas of the table, move out of the table to score points, etc).

SteveT replied to the topic Is Hail Caesar dying? in the forum Hail Caesar 3 years, 9 months ago
Yes, I think it might be partly due to the fact that Warlord don’t rules the ancients’ wargaming world. Might change as they bring out more figures? I am so late to the party that I would’ve expected more presence here, on what must surely be the main forum for the game?
I think the strength of the openness of the Hail Caesar rules (and Black…[Read more]
