well this is only part of the equation… the rest is still in the dark!
we dont know what rules are changing
we dont know HOW the costs are changing
we dont know how unit composition is changing … it could be that compulsory choices must be taken at full strength.
etc etcall in all it looks like a good change for gaming groups. The…[Read more]

It’s part of the long lance national rule…
There’s a house rule that goes if the bases are touching (or a few mm shy) you count as being in short range unless your weapon would be point blank…. So touching doesn’t mean your turret can hit that DD, but does mean your torp stands a chance of working

facebook – a lot of US regions have their own FB group – & word of mouth / hosted by LGS or gaming groups.
So all I can say is if you get your stuff from a game store ask in there.

the missions all have a priority which gives you an extra 10% points, the agreed points or loses you 10% points…. for competative gaminng priority levels are normally ignored.
Erm… points…. yeah…. with the rulebook points I can take 3 different IJN Destroyers (DDs in short) all for the same 60 points and get 3 completely different type of…[Read more]

side note … do look in the ‘news from the wardroom’ as it was worked out that the starter set is NOT designed to have all the ships on the table at the same time. But rather give you the ships to do the 3 levels of priority as fleet can have (pg 21 in the starter booklet)

Nat replied to the topic Bolt action British Airborne army list in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago
Next, I’d never take 2 bodyguards on a HQ unit. This is because you go above a 2 man unit and no longer gain the -1 to hit modifier which is one of the biggest defenses of a unit.
secondly I’d take a bodyguard with the FAO, because the extra wound is always useful. Out of preferance I’d give him a rifle because you want him hanging back as h…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Bolt action British Airborne army list in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago
nit pick – which IS important for rules / list questions… thats a MEDIUM AT gun you have in your list, the 6 pdr QF gun, not a light AT gun.
The difference is a point of PEN (which matters for trying to damage tanks, especially at range) and 12″ of range

Nat replied to the topic Hand-to-hand partial contact in the forum Black Powder 2 months, 1 week ago
So a few key points of BP v2 CORE rules (so not the epic versions which may be different)
1) Only a single unit (with a some exceptions for small unit / artillery) can fight on a facing
2) Units either fight or dont, the number of die they use is modified by formation, commanders, die split between multiple enemies etc not by ratio in contact. …[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Civil War Sailors in the forum Black Powder 2 months, 1 week ago
hmm…. so quick look at what they looked like
So I’d say at 28mm (even more likely 15mm) you could get away with looking at British / European Naval 1850s models
However I’m running into a similar roadblock (not helped by works firewalls!) on finding actual manufactures – will keep looking!

Nat replied to the topic Forward Air Observers for the US in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 1 week ago
my (soviet) Air Observer is one of the BRS 28mm Ace pilots they did (Johnny Red)… so he can always double up as a ViP / downed pilot if the scenario requires one as I cant actually recall the last time I run him as an air observer….
mind you I think I’ve only run an artillery one once or twice in the last 18 months….

Nat replied to the topic Scenario 11: Surrounded! first turn query in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 1 week ago
IIRC – yes, thats the whole point of surrounded… the enemy can (and do) come from any direction!

Nat replied to the topic Forward Air Observers for the US in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 1 week ago
it has the potential for great comedy … epically if you have a lot of flack and shoot down your own aircraft! :p
Its one of those rules that can greatly vary between games from really bad (have 2 friendly airstrikes) to absolutely evil (2 airstrikes that neutralise the whole enemy force) and pretty much everything inbetween.
It also has the…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Indirect Fire Minimum Distance in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 2 weeks ago
No that fails because a spotter only provides Line of Sight EVERYTHING else which includes range is taken from firing unit

Nat replied to the topic Indirect Fire Minimum Distance in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 2 weeks ago
its clear… you measure to the closest part of the vehicle / building or model of a unit. If that is within minimum distance the shot fails

erm… your auto correct needs looking at it boom CHITS … thats C not S!
However v2 as its a case of in the end phase count the number of engines you have left on the table in a squadron v the number of boom chits that the individual squadron has taken so far in the game.
eg if you have 4 single engine planes left but 3 boom chits then your…[Read more]

So…. No V3 is a reset to stop the 101 books per army syndrome.
You’ll get the rulebook which will include a get you by list for the major nations (minor ones getting a free PDF on release). Then you’ll get an ‘armies of…..’ book released with Germany being first in line q1 next year.
