Nat replied to the topic Struggling with play/stratagems in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 4 months ago
Ideas /suggestions for how to deal with Japanese with Russians…
1) heavy tanks – I like the IS2 or the ISU-152
2) protect the tanks by taking out the suicide guys… if you lose a unit to kill them – oh well
3) green inexp rifle squads sat near a Politruk (Stalingrad book) who’s out of LoS
4) Tank riders and /or assault engineers as Vets with…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Questions for some topics. in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 4 months ago
1) RAW is unclear. As the ship would still move the min 1″ as its not run aground or at anchor it can be argued that the ship is not stationary, however I would play it as YES as the ship isnt sailing under control but drifting on the current and so can easily be tracked by the firing ship (hence the +1).
2) Two schools of thought with this- i…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Finnish Master of the Hunt Rule in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 5 months ago
And so we come back to an old complant ….that is the mixing of fluff and rules together in what should be a rules paragraph, I mean if the fluff/backgroup part was in italics then it would be easier to see whats rules and whats not!

Nat replied to the topic Finnish Master of the Hunt Rule in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 5 months ago
no… the Finns our on an advance order, at the end of movement instead of firing they swap the dice to AMBUSH
your ambush works on their movement… they are not on an ambush dice so cant go down. More to the point even IF they could they would stop in the open!

Nat replied to the topic Painting guides? in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 5 months ago
Well what I will say is…..
Some of the painting guides apparently have errors according to some of the more indepth historically minded people on the FB group (Victory at Sea Wardroom (unoffical))
Depending on the year (and in the case of the Japanese where a ship was built*) the colour schemes change, with other nations where a ship serverd…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Shooting and Cover in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 5 months ago
No, however you do say who’s going to shoot before measuring…
Thus rule is used with flamethrowers that are obviously out of range so you don’t have to do a fuel check

Some people do…
One House rule is – at the start of the gunnery phase, before the AA step both players may declear if any ship is using DP. If they do that ships light guns can fire in the AA step as per the DP rules. Ships that don’t declear at the start of the phase can’t then use the DP trait when they…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Waterloo French Cavalry brigade – composition in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 5 months ago
Ok I dont have the Epic book… but in Albion Triuphant 2 cavalry brigades can be either Dragoons or light cavalry (Hussars, lancer or Chasseurs) and no more that 50% of all cavalry in the Divison can be Dragoons. The List allows you to take 2 light cavalry brigades. So in essence its saying that one MUST be light and the other can be e…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Rules Question: Brandenburgers' In Game Effect Requirements in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 5 months ago
If the rules are different between books you choose which book you are using and forget the entry’s exist in any other book.
A number of the units are really only fit for use within the scenarios of the book they are in and can cause imbalance when used in generic reinforced platoons and pick up games
This is one of the reasons why people are…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Aircraft queries – shooting with and at in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 5 months ago
1) only local X trait can be used in the movement phase at flights crossing a ships model (including the base – as this is the range for local in the gunnery phase).
Note local X and AA batteries shoot at the start of the gunnery phase – what is unofficially called the AA step. DP is used when the ship activates in the ship step…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Practical question about Carrier models, and the Catastrophic Explosion rule in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 5 months ago
1) yes under the points system in the rulebook Carriers include the number of flights in the stats, these are chosen (type and role) when you write the list – you can end up with more flights (cost wise) than the carrier cost you quite easily!!
2) Yep for a slight chance of a catastrophic explosion (6 to damage, 4+ to confirm, 10 on a D10…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Assault of New Guinea Question in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 5 months ago
I’d lean to the view that its platoons that cant be mixed not the force as a whole… this is backed up by the fact you can take armoured platoons alongside infantry platoons in the stalingrad campaign book.
