Nat replied to the topic Hidden set-up AND dug-in in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 7 months ago
well the thing is when you get to ‘needing more than a 6’ to hit any extra modifiers are pointless…. as its still 6 followed by 6 to hit…. the only thing that the extra negative modifers do is counter any positive mods.

Nat replied to the topic Agile and positive trait in the forum Blood Red Skies 2 years, 7 months ago
Appoligies, just seen this….
But do check out the BRS FAQ (found going to the webstore, then the community site – resources) as the Mosquito has been errated to have 2 trait cards.
However you do have the right of it…. A squadron will have a single Positive or Negative trait that is (for the want of a better way of saying it) allways on. …[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Forward observer Naval in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 7 months ago
two things on easy army..
1) Its one guy who isnt employed by warlord… he does it off his own back, and although warlord do (currently) promote it they don’t control it (they are in progress with creating an official one app that has list builders for all their games….not sure where its at currently, last I saw it was in an early beta with…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Forward observer Naval in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 7 months ago
Well…. both!
Campaign book stats are really only supposed to be used in scenarios from that book… most do have the ability to be taken in generic platoons and used for pickup gaming. Due to the perceved power level of the naval observer I’d double check that there are no differences in the rules on the model & if its a new author doing a…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Just starting – army building questions in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 8 months ago
The warlord starter armies have a 1K list included…. they often have a couple of models left over.
As a rough guide go to wg.easyarmy. com (space left out) – however there are a couple of list errors & it contains units / Theater lists from ALL the armies of… books and the campagin books.

Nat replied to the topic Aircraft Carriers – What's the point? in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 8 months ago
The pickup games missions…. they are an attempt at pickup /tournamaent games….. but the rounding of points doesnt exactly allow for ballanced tournaments….
If you are up for it I would look at the historical sceanrios and altering them to match your models /time
eg in the new year I’m planning on doing a version of the midway…. but…[Read more]

An idea from cruel seas is just to use little glass beads/ pebbles instead

Nat replied to the topic Aircraft Carriers – What's the point? in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 8 months ago
Yeah RAW (and confirmed in the FAQ) is 0 flights can be used for scouting….
However the House Rule I like is when allocating ships to scouting you may replace up to a 1/3rd of any (/all) carriers flights with the Aircraft X trait (where X is the number of flights you replace). You can then do it that these Aircraft X can then be allocated in…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Mixed Formations – when to use? in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 8 months ago
Light Infantry… depending on the unit (and the supplement your using) can deploy in one of 4 formations, depends on how YOU as the general want to deploy them!
Line (0 skirmishers)
mixed (33% skirmishers)
Light infantry mixed (50% skirmishers (rounding up IIRC)) – this is found in the clash of eagles supplement
skirmish (100% skirmishers) – if…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Moving ships in the forum Victory At Sea 2 years, 8 months ago
When moving, the ship must end the turn on the table and not overlapping another ship. I do go with during movement overlapping is fine (stops tactical blocking). As only the bridge is the location of the ship I’d go with so long as the bridge doesnt go off the table then you are fine.

Nat replied to the topic Hanoverian Jager Companies in the forum Black Powder 2 years, 9 months ago
Yep… if you work out the points a number of units across all 3 books are a few points out …
Brunswick vanguard Battalions are a point over costed, the Nassau Jage Coy is 2 points UNDER costed…. the British Congreve & Howitzer artillery units end up being 4 points under costed… then you get the change in books as to how much downgrading…[Read more]

Its normally a 3 month pre-order window with Warlord. And is down on the UK site as as release date January….which can be any time in January :
One of the reasons why they’ve split the website down is to allow for delays in releases however so far its only been a couple of weeks between the US & UK with other systems (VaS, BA) that I’ve heard…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Unit sizes? in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 9 months ago
lack of concistancy in a warlord book!
Ok jokes aside, the Armies of … entries are generic to cover multiple years and doctirine /organisation changes (for example the Soviet LMG squad 6-12 men, 1 to 2 LMGs only in mid war where they ever 12 man with 2 LMGs) where as the Campaign entries are (in theory at least) true to that campaign.

(disclaimer… not got my Russians on the table yet)
yeah fair point on the Artillery front…
As a Russian I want multiple small bdes for the breakpoint and the fact that half of my Bde commanders have to be SR7. So multiple bdes of 1 regiment works better for me (again in theory)However, dont forget that BP is a framework rule system, so if…[Read more]
