Nat replied to the topic Australian general purpose truck in the forum Bolt Action 9 months, 2 weeks ago
well….. this is where BA fall apart… its NOT a tight competitive system, but rather a framework (why multiple campaign books played against each other can break the system)…
So basically theres two approaches… one is its a friendly game, and if thats historical & you pay the points then use it! (this is what I would go with)
the other…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Napoleonic Bavarians in the forum Black Powder 9 months, 2 weeks ago
eg Rheinbund are moral 5 with rifle mixed in the unit entries
the Westphilian Cuirassiers lose 1 H2H & the Guard du Corp 2 H2H between the unit entries and the stat charts.

Nat replied to the topic Napoleonic Bavarians in the forum Black Powder 9 months, 2 weeks ago
Theres all sorts of miss-prints in that book between the army entries and the stat -charts at the end of the book… missing rules, missing /incorrect stats etc etc
The book is AT BEST a frame work starting point for you & your mates to work off…..
However historically Bavarian Cheveaux Leger were equipped the same as most other french…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Do intervening infantry give soft cover to armor? in the forum Bolt Action 10 months, 1 week ago
I like the house rule of … if down then they’re not in the way as they are on the ground trying not to be hit
If they are in the way (model height + 1″ as per normal) and the roll to hit fails by 1 (ie soft cover mod) then that counts as a hit against the unit in the way :p -
Nat replied to the topic What do YOU want to see in Bolt Action v3? in the forum Bolt Action 10 months, 3 weeks ago
@lawrence well you’ve got a couple of issues…
1 – game balance, LMGs went up to RoF 4 in v2 because they werent in use
2 – time frame – the RoF is not actual but game balance slant on effectiveness
3- Role – just because something isnt a X weapon in the view of modern eyes doesnt mean it wasnt used in that role… examples would be the MG43 or…[Read more] -

Its still in beta, but aside from the fact that ALL types of soviet comissars disapeared last update is pretty much there.
Actually …. scrub that… cant use it today – no abilty to select a nation to create a list!

Nat replied to the topic Are non-unit entries (Commonwealth Rules, Additional Equipment) Tournament Legal in the forum Bolt Action 10 months, 3 weeks ago
The answer to that is very nebulus…
Its down to the TO…thats the bottom line of Tournaments.
Its their choice to what books they allow… they can over-ride the FAQ, and often do limiting armies to units from X books… Some will make allowances for a specifc army ie theirs a tournament near me that will only allow armies of books, but allow…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Wakeless in the forum Victory At Sea 12 months ago
Wakeless rule is to show that the torpedo makes very little to no visable effect on the surface when traveling through the water…. note even when firing a wakeless torpedo from a submarine you still have the air bubble raising to the surface which in standard weather are visable.
Evade Order means that the ship is braced for sudden violent…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Stats for units not in the second edition rulebook. in the forum Bolt Action 1 year ago
The Rulebook contains a ‘get you by list’ …this is rather basic
The main Japanese list is in ‘armies of Japan’ whilest its a v1 book its still the current one.

Nat replied to the topic Starting Hungarians- which book? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year ago
@Jermaine
Bolt Action is written as Rulebook + ‘armies of … ‘ plus one campaign book/ series.
Each campaign book /seriers (like Italy or DDay) are written as if the others dont exist*…. this means there may be some perculair interactions if you do use them together. However having said that most (but not all) units will have comments a…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Commissar?? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year ago
No, remove models is a specific step that occurs after taking casulties.
You make your green check at the taking casulty step, so therefore the commissar bypasses this. However you havent suffered any casulties, therefore you can still take your green check if you then get shot later in the game.

Nat replied to the topic Rules Question: Hitting squad behind hard cover. in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 1 month ago
The answer is simple – game balance (it stops you poking one guy out with say a rifle to put a pin on a unit while keeping the rest untouchable.) and to help (as the rulebook says it the same paragraph) give the impression that everything /model is fluid and in motion…
DOWN is the representation of infantrymen not moving and hiding…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Rules Question: Hitting squad behind hard cover. in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 1 month ago
yes…if you manage to roll that well!
lets see… M5 at 6″ away… thats +1 for range -2 for hard cover (over half the squad is out of sight behind hard cover) so hitting on 4s… that’d be 9 hits on average… against inexp 6 kills, against regulars thats 4 or 5…. if 5 kills then thats a moral check for the remaining 5 and possibly wipe…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic La Haye Sainte Final assault scenario, epic black powder in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 1 month ago
Now I dont have epic BP…..
But independant units shouldnt count towards brigades breaking but SHOULD count towards to overal army…. ie I’d count them as an unbrakeable brigade of mauraders who’s brigade commander is your army commander.
Also the French wining by taking the LaHaye Sainte only fits with the history of the battle.
