Russian regiments arent any bigger, they just have a higher stamina to represent the hardyness and stoic nature of the Russian peasantry

And there (germanys lack of hardward, US excesses of hardware) you have the difference between pickup game & simulation :p
Limited number of equipment is NO reason not to put it in the list (how many vehicles already in the game were limited… a lot :p)…. and as for flamethrowers, I’d put one in – if someone invaded Sweden they’d pretty soon…[Read more]

<argh… forum ate my reply>
So short version – SA80, I’m going off the armourers and not reports!… The Bren, that is just what Ive read, so if its wrong fair enough…
Ranges of engagement are only part of what generates the rules, in v1 LMGs had 6″ less range and 1 less shot but got buffed to V2 because they werent being used… so at 6″…[Read more]

@generaljimbo81 – I’d have said thats covered by the TLs having extra slots

Nat replied to the topic Homebrew: Sweden national rules and vehicles in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 1 month ago
A couple of points….
1)Due to BA’s homogenisation of weapon stats I wouldnt give extra range to the sweedish.. as its not just the weapon range but contact range that is taken in to account in game
EG the standard Lee Enfield 303 is accurate to a mile…. the Bren (like the SA80 & LSW) were ‘de-accurisied’ to make them less accurate so they can…[Read more] -

A mate of mine 3D printed my Bettys as a gift so there are STLs out there… however I think I put the wings on slightly wrong so they are a bit bowed :p

@Generaljimbo81 – issue is if you start allowing lots of light mortars with their move and fire in lists you are removing one of Japanes key distinguishing factors (the grenadier squads)….better to give the light mortar as an option to the HQ (ie the LT allows you to take 0-1 light mortar then the mortar slot allows you to take 0-1 of light,…[Read more]

RE snipers – if you make them any better you need to up the points… theres an argument for upping the points alread
RE medics – my view is: make them a team of 1 -4 (so you measure from any member of the unit). And you you add 3 extra rules
Medical Orderly : +1 to the dice on frindly units for each additional member in the unit

Nat replied to the topic Slowness of the game in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 1 month ago
With a number of games I find that having a cheat /crib sheet with the turn order and and event rolls on 1 or 2 sides of A4 + a printed out excel sheet of the stats for the units in my army + a sheet with JUST the special rules my army has on means that if you ask me a question I’m going to look at 1 of 3 bits of paper & not a book … if I c…[Read more]

MMG /HMG – was thinking a “focused fire (team)” arc (2″ linear arc centered on the MG) which does D3 pins instead of 1
Support Teams – expanding the unit types to HQ team (main person + 0-2 infantry), Squads (as now) support teams (limited squad, every one has the rule like medics), support weapon teams (immune to snipers etc), support gun team…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic "Tank" Platoon full of of Motorcycle with Machine-gun Sidecar? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 2 months ago
I’d say there’s no ambiguity:
Rules state an armoured vehicle is anything with a DV of 7+ or more
The armoured car slot is just that, a list building device -

Yes… It’s in the faq under..it might be under the Russian tank riders

Nat replied to the topic "Tank" Platoon full of of Motorcycle with Machine-gun Sidecar? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 2 months ago
Depends what else is in your list, if its a single platoon, the terrain, the mission, & your opponenets list….etc etc
TBH for all round I’d look at using one of the units from duel in the sun/ fall of france where you can run multiples either in a single unit or as multiples in a single slot

Nat replied to the topic Judge Dredd – how to subdue him? in the forum 2000 AD 2 years, 2 months ago
Yeah discussed this on the WL discord and the common interpretation is that ‘cool down to zero’ should actually be ‘if stun &/or injury equal starting cool’ to prevent questions like this

Nat replied to the topic Judge Dredd – cool, injury & Star chips in the forum 2000 AD 2 years, 2 months ago
Hate to say it… but this is usual for WL isnt it… nice games, but the rulebooks been written for people who know the game :p
If you’re trying to learn the game just from the book theres a few – eh what do I do now? moments :p

Hi Peter,
Its the devastating weapon trait (cant give you the page ref as in work….but its pg 12 in the Battle of the Pacific booklet which has the same wording) basically it goes – instead of causing 1 point of damage if you equal or pass the targets armour you do D6 damage…
Theres is debate if a natural 1 does 1 damage or 0 as its still…[Read more]
