Nat

you missed the 3rd option… the ship doesn suffer a -1 to their AA (the whole flights section is contridictors.. AA doesnt suffer modifier, except against large or kamikazes..so why not evading as well)

This is why I’ve not done any crib sheet or looked at any scenarios.. I feel that the extra rules will alter what we have a fair bit!

yeah thats rules lawyering to the Nth degree…

There is no problem… it actually came out of another discussion about small arms with a PEN value (while we agree that they cant get a positive PEN… in theory I suppose you could have a negative PEN value on small arms… but that would be a v2 for impovised weaponary….like a baseball bat or cricket ball :p) and if you could get a heavy…[Read more]

<swaring>  conflicting ‘confirmations’ oh how stuff works depending on when, where & who you ask!

:@

Hi Chrisitian, if you look in the thread wardroom FAQ, i’ve done a complete breakedown  of how AA works in the FAQ thats attached.

In the QSR for aircraft attacking ships, they hit on their own score, no modifiers (only kamikazes say to use them, the others say not to) and evade will still take effect as its any successful attack.

@clockwork, are you on Facebook? If so the wardroom has a document with the commonally  used in naval war games abbreviations – although most are NATO to be honest :p

I don’t think this has come up much…if at all

now the diagrams show smoke from the base…but the rules indicate that it should be the bridge – good question will ask the wardroom!

aircraft attacking ships in smoke, I’m tempted to say no they can’t because they wouldn’t be able to see the ships to attack…however I don’t thin the QSR says…[Read more]

Our club keeps a gap between infantry and other infantry so you can tell squads / teams apart… but yeah we dont bother with the 1″ between vehicles and infantry

I dont have battle for france or battle of the bulge.. the 2 campaign books I have dont classify RGA as either small are OR Heavy weapon…

yes you pick which use your aircraft have before deployment.. so 2 scouts & 2 spotting.

During deployment, after scouting points have been spent you assign a spotter plan to an enemy ship.  The spotter stays with that ship for the duration of the game or the assigned ship is sunk.*  This then enables you to select that ship as a target for Over H…[Read more]

I’m waiting till feb…so I’ve got the full rulebook in my hands and had a read through it (or 3!) before doing any quick refs or spreadsheets..

BattleScribe has the released ships in it…(it’s a bit convoluted to get the stats to print…select a ship, select a name then a refit year)

@Cameron – hi there… you might want to have a look at the campaign book ‘Germany strikes’ it was (like a lot of them) written for v1 of Bolt Action but does contain a Danish army list…..

I’m hoping for just about every card they’ve already released to be corrected with the rules in the main rule book…..

or at least give us the points to ‘refit’ the destroyers in to carrying depth charges…. (and look, we’re back to asking about proof reading! :p)

sorry thought I had 🙁 … I’ve now uploaded v1.2

Sorry thought I’d posted this already… its version 1.2

it doesnt state that small arms cant generate more than 1 pin or have a PEN value, the rule book only states that heavy weapons do and so implies that small arms cant..

However there is more in favour of them being a heavy weapon than not*… so I’m going to leave it here and wait to see if an offical answer is ever made :p.. and be very suprised…[Read more]

Devils advocate here (because I’m not to bothered either way, and I’m begining to  agree it looks like the RGA should be classified as a heavy weapon… )

re pins – the number of PINs a RGA generates are by the HE rule, so there is nothing to stop a small arms weapon giving multiple PINs

re page 56, that says all heavy weapons have a PEN…[Read more]

yeah…. when I saw that the FB group was getting the same questions every couple of days I wrote that FAQ so there was a single location of answers using the majority (or most compelling)answers .. some I changed 180* in the couple of versions I wrote as the authors and play testers corrected what I wrote…. but I’d have preferred it had it been…[Read more]

@enoich -personally I read that deep deployment doesnt allow extra flights being launched but do understand that the English used is (like the whole language :p) open to multiple interpretations…for me its that deep deployment doesnt tell you that you can start with more flights than CAP (unlike results 7 & 10)…. still so long as you and your…[Read more]
