Nat replied to the topic These Waterloo Boxed Armies make no sense! in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 2 months ago
argh… take 2…
1) WarLord rules are frame-work not pickup tight rules…they are still written in the 1980s mindset of you play with mates and alter the rules to fit what you want2) Extra stands are due to allowing for breakages, as well as fitting the most possible models on a sprue to keep costs down (for us the gamers as well as…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Questions Wind/Smoke in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 2 months ago
The game is based on being simple.. not realistic..
1. the bow must be pointing at the board edge marked as the wind… so if the right hand side to you was marked as the wind then so long as your bow is pinting at SOME POINT of that edge they your good. … this can be the top corner in order to get your carrier off their board edge
2. th…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Light mixed formation – how many dice for shooting. in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 2 months ago
Each base gets half a dice for shooting….
so a standard unit of 6 bases put 3 in skirmish… so 1.5 dice, as you cant have .5 of a dice its rounded up to 2
a large of 8 bases puts 4 … so only has 2 dice in skirmish shooting -

Nat replied to the topic Is this an error in Black Powder Albion Triumphant Vol 2? in the forum Black Powder 1 year, 2 months ago
theres several possiblitys….
1) note 1 shouldnt be there – its a version of the Corp cavalry brigade left in by bad proof reading
2) note 2 should say half of the brigades in the divison should be line light
3) they are trying to say that no more than half of the divisions cavalry can be dragoons, however you do it.Personally I’ve gone…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Game scale in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 3 months ago
Its a relative / moving gaming scale – aka arbortary distances.
Now what I mean by that is that there is no time frame for an order so therefore there is no relation of speed so distance people move is flexible (think the difference between a T34 and a KV1, but both move 9″ an order in game).
Also weapon ranges … a Lee Enfield rifle has a…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Foreign Legion in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 3 months ago
Are you using a generic platoon or a specific TL from a campaign book? if so which one?
Are you just using FFL squads or are you putting FFL crew on weapon /artillery teams?
But going off the Free French TL from the western deset
1 x vet 1st LT + bodyguard
1 x 6 man legion squad (3 SMGs & VB launcher)
2 x 6 man legion squd + pistol legionnaire…[Read more] -

See if you can get a copy of firefight (Academey of Street Fighting – Bolt Action:firefight on the Warlord store)- which is the half a dozen models aside version of Bolt Action.

v1.3 of the wardroom cheat sheet…. pretty much all you need to help you play (I feel)
Yes the formatting could be better, but oh well.

Pre-orders are normally about 3 months

Nat replied to the topic Assault Move Distance in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 3 months ago
12″ run, if in terrain that prevents a RUN order then the assault order is limited to 6″.
This is clarified in the FAQ

Nat replied to the topic HQs doing Snap to Attention inside a transport in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
The answer is simplicity & the fact that the other rules that affect troops in transports (moral & tiger fear) have been updated since BA was first released….. (tiger fear in the last couple of years)
Basically now its passive rules apply to units inside transports but active rules dont. (ok this falls down on medic saves – but I’d be happy…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Is there a specialized rule for Panzergranadiers debussing from a Transport? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
Hmm….
At best that would be a campaign book rule…and one that should be left in the books campaign….
Most likely a ‘historical makes sense’ house rule or a mixup of rules
Worst case – totally incorrect rules
Outside of a campaign book rule – yes the grenadiers’ would need a order die pulled from the bag to disembark

Nat replied to the topic BA Tournament Rules Question: Mounted HQ Having Rifle Carbines???? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
I read that as a clarification and historic usage (cavalary use carbines, we’re talking about cavalry so we’ll use the word carbines**). But due to the way the book is written this can turn in to a circular argument*…. and so I’m going to agree to disagree as the real issue is that Warlord do Frame work books not water tight rules… Yes I D…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic BA Tournament Rules Question: Mounted HQ Having Rifle Carbines???? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
@StuartHarrison …what is “considered as” if not “used as”? – its that they use the stats and rules… same thing as being used as.
@Neely – as said, where in the weapon rules do carbines exist?
In fact they are explicity the same entry! If you look under weapons (again sorry cant give page number)

Nat replied to the topic BA Tournament Rules Question: Mounted HQ Having Rifle Carbines???? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 4 months ago
Well, you are both wrong to an extent as it goes like this:
1) Carbines as a seperate weapon dont exist in the rules…
2) Rifles are used as pistols while mounted (see below… dont have the page numbers as my PC rulebook is a printed to pdf ebook)
3) Cossacks have a special UNIT rule that allows them to use their rifles as rifles whilest…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Boarding in the forum Black Seas 1 year, 4 months ago
As skymandr said….Its a case of after the initial boarding action then there are no inherant bonuses (ships equipment like Trained Marines will still apply) however you can attempt to pull away, but basically the boarding action continues until one of:
a) one ship falls below the threshold and surrenders
b) one ship disengages and sails…[Read more] - Load More
