Steeljackal replied to the topic Loss of squad leader in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 2 months ago
When you choose a unit at the start of the game, you also choose the experience level, and based on the experience level the initial morale level is determined. But morale and experience are two different things and morale during the game varies without affecting the experience.

As I understand it the loss of the NCO does not mean the squad becomes inexperienced. For example a veteran squad losing its NCO would take morale checks at 9 instead of 10. It just decreases the morale by 1. It should not affect the squad’s shooting.

Good question, but seriously, how often (if ever) does this really happen? I have never seen this come up in our club’s games.
That’s probably true but it can still happen. One could also ask how often do you see a Chaffee take out a King Tiger from the front? I have only seen it happen once so far, and we nicknamed that tank “Lucky Chaffee” 😊

The only problem is precisely if the axis of the cannon barrel is on the separation line of two arcs of fire. But as Masterchief has already written, in similar cases (such as when it is too far to say whether or not there is cover) the regulation suggests that in case of uncertainty to roll a dice: in this case 50% is front arc 50% is lateral arch

Good illustration diagrams. The other question that arises is what if exactly 50% of the firer lies in the front arc and 50% in the side arc. For example the line separating the target’s front and side arcs cuts exactly long the diagonal of the shooting vehicle.

You use fire vehicle’s fire arc for 2 things:
1- When you is the attacker, determine where you can fire and wich weapon can fire
2- When you is the target, determine where they shoot to you, where the shot comes from

Steeljackal replied to the topic Angle of impact in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 2 months ago
The attacker can see the target’s front and side, and can hit one of them.
The ruls, however, says that you must not see what the attacker sees, but in which arc (defender’s arc) the attacker is located, in this case he is in the front defender’s arc and therefore the front armor value is applied.
The reason behind this: even if the attacker’s…[Read more]

Nice idea.
I’ve just started working on my backlog and I get some Stuka, Sturmovik and La-5 that may fir the theme.
On the side note, all my externally hosted pics disappeared from the forum (newly posted or previous). Any idea why and how to solve it?

SteveT replied to the topic Help needed with army selections in the forum Bolt Action 4 years, 2 months ago
Also, how about using 2 or even 3 platoons? Even with a 100o points you can make some interesting armies, with 2 smaller tanks or 3 snipers or whatever you like.

I know what you mean, but there are several reasons why figures are sculpted this way:
(1) easier to sculpt (but advances in the digital process should really have kicked more though…)
(2) figures are more robust. They are game pieces.
(3) not all humans are lithe Olympic runners. You could just as well ask where are the o…[Read more]

Watching a Paul Stallard run through…. and As he’s saying you can do your firing at the end of any movement 1/3 (when you turn) ….
so id say ignore everything it says about rams and collisions and play that aspect as normal. Ie if the MTBs is in the first movement a collision occurs, if not then you have to do normal ram tests

It looks like WL are going more towards the gaming than the modelling side of the hobby. Where you want to be able to see what something is from across a 4′ table with terrrain on.
Tank crews are additions to a vehicle so not important, where as seeing a model (and what its eqipped with) easily is for game play…. As more of a gamer than a…[Read more]

Its sounding like there is a delay in release until June time, due to the whole Covid19 thing……be nice to have an offical comment one way or another even if its just a note on the webstore saying ‘Victory at Sea release is delayed due to Covid19 we will update with a new release date when we can’

Its as clear as mud!
Do you drop the DC at any point in your movement or only at the end (ie when you would normally do your shooting) ?
– With the talk of highly likely Ramming, it sounds like you should only be able to drop them at the end.
Can you do this in addition to your shooting?
– nothing saying otherwise
Is it a Ram (ie…[Read more]
