Nat replied to the topic Is the Warlord Army Builder ready to be officially used for Bolt Action Tournams in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 3 months ago
Its still in beta, but aside from the fact that ALL types of soviet comissars disapeared last update is pretty much there.
Actually …. scrub that… cant use it today – no abilty to select a nation to create a list!

Nat replied to the topic Are non-unit entries (Commonwealth Rules, Additional Equipment) Tournament Legal in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 3 months ago
The answer to that is very nebulus…
Its down to the TO…thats the bottom line of Tournaments.
Its their choice to what books they allow… they can over-ride the FAQ, and often do limiting armies to units from X books… Some will make allowances for a specifc army ie theirs a tournament near me that will only allow armies of books, but allow…[Read more]

Guts & Glory is the BP Epic …

invisible officer replied to the topic Artillery Observers in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 3 months ago
The real observer was an expert. Specially trained and normally doing nothing else. A spotter was just an ordinary man that had a base training in gun spotting. Every officer and NCO had that ability in the big armies. So the different rules are historically correct.
But armies tended to misuse specialists. But mostly in desperate si…[Read more]

SteveT replied to the topic Tank "size"? Described or Damage Value? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
The name of its entry in the Japanese forces book is something of a giveaway.
“TYPE 97 CHI-HA MEDIUM TANK”. :p
It mostly seems to be a criterion of which slot it gets put in armour lists, and/or how it was used, and yes, the bizarrely named “damage value”.
Tank size occasionally crops up in some rules: like a tank ramming a building, or (fr…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Wakeless in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 4 months ago
Wakeless rule is to show that the torpedo makes very little to no visable effect on the surface when traveling through the water…. note even when firing a wakeless torpedo from a submarine you still have the air bubble raising to the surface which in standard weather are visable.
Evade Order means that the ship is braced for sudden violent…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Stats for units not in the second edition rulebook. in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
The Rulebook contains a ‘get you by list’ …this is rather basic
The main Japanese list is in ‘armies of Japan’ whilest its a v1 book its still the current one.

SteveT replied to the topic Starting Hungarians- which book? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
Each campaign book is a bit different. The early ones throw scenarios at you to pick and choose. Some campaign books present more balanced fights, while others tend to be a bit more historical you get what you get and good luck!.
Some later ones go for more a linked series feel, giving a very nice feel of events of the time. The very best on…[Read more]

Looks like some more Hungarian units incoming in the next Campaign book (Case Blue). Good, good.

SteveT replied to the topic Starting Hungarians- which book? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
I wouldn’t worry about that. It is just stuff like late war tanks or specialised troops should not be in early war lists. It wouldn’t make any sense to have the end war high tech stuff steamrolling over 1941 opponents. You can always avoid even these few restrictions if you go down the generic reinforced platoon rule that can include pretty m…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Starting Hungarians- which book? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
@Jermaine
Bolt Action is written as Rulebook + ‘armies of … ‘ plus one campaign book/ series.
Each campaign book /seriers (like Italy or DDay) are written as if the others dont exist*…. this means there may be some perculair interactions if you do use them together. However having said that most (but not all) units will have comments a…[Read more]

SteveT replied to the topic Starting Hungarians- which book? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
The new units in the Budapest book can be used in the Theatre Selectors in the Italy and Axis book, but some can only be used in later war ones.
It’s a good book, gives you some nice options.
3 new theatre selectors too:
Carpathian Mountains Border Guards Reinforced Platoon
Assault Artillery Battery Armoured Platoon
Hungarian Armoured Field…[Read more] -

Nat replied to the topic Commissar?? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 5 months ago
No, remove models is a specific step that occurs after taking casulties.
You make your green check at the taking casulty step, so therefore the commissar bypasses this. However you havent suffered any casulties, therefore you can still take your green check if you then get shot later in the game.

SteveT replied to the topic One-shot flamethrowers in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 5 months ago
Thanks Stuart. Replacing them with unarmed seems a bit silly. No pistols for you!

SteveT started the topic One-shot flamethrowers in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 5 months ago
The German book has the option of a flamethrower team being repack with 2 one-shot weapons.
Now, it would seem from the rules that when the flamethrower is use in a one-shot way, the figure might still remain on the table. But unarmed (?) in this case.
Alternatively, I could see how the rules for depleted flamethrowers means the figure is…[Read more]
