Nat replied to the topic Its So Difficult to Hit in the forum Blood Red Skies 1 year, 6 months ago
Dont forget that if you hit the opponent takes a boom chit… boom chits win games not shooting down planes (although that helps :p)
EG you hit, opponent takes a boom chit they then try and save the damage (lose of advantage level)… when boom chits = planes +1 then they run away.

Nat replied to the topic no lmgs in folgore in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago
points on campaign books….
i) they are all (except when in a seriers like DDay or Italy) independant of each other – they like to pretend that only they, the core rulebook & armies of… books exist
ii) often they have completely different authors (this is why the same unit can have different rules!). The Author will put in the rules they…[Read more] -

Yes…. unlike a 15mm ww2 game the turret is just a way of changing the arc of the weapons….

Nat replied to the topic AA with no Range- and AD-data, equipped with the "Local X"-Trait: What Range? in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 6 months ago
Ok… Local X has two parts.
Part 1 – If an enemy flight crosses its base during the movement phase you get X = AD against that one flight (remember flights move one at a time)
Part 2 – In the AA step of the gunnery phase you get to add X AD to the AA pool, but must target enemy flights in base contact with your ship. Note some times these die…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Top secret scenario in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 7 months ago
Well…. one issue is which motorbike unit… (there are a couple of motorbike and sidecar units that go in the armoured car slot and have a higher DV)
I would personally NOT classify them as infantry whilest mounted (including bicyle and cavalry units) because they have taken the transport upgrade option…. however I dont think theres any rules…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic German Rifle Grenades Tournament Legal? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 7 months ago
note on ‘legal’..
Its down to the TO wether or not to allow units & equipment from campaign books, and even which ones – so if its not in the core rule book or ‘armies of…..’ then its always best to clarify with the TO

Nat replied to the topic Torpedos hit that bad? in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 7 months ago
There are occassions where you can hit at extreme range with a torpedo….
when you are in the ‘large shilloute’ of the target & the target is stationary or you are using a T4 torpedo (KM – only available on Uboats after 1944)
You’ll also notice that trying to hit a fast moving destroyer is pretty much always impossible with torpedos (-1 for…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic HE Pen and damage to units in buildings. in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 7 months ago
Buildings – they give the extra protection rule which makes them safer as it effectviely negates +1 PEN – NOTE this rule states modified as useual so tells you the PEN modifiers are used.
Medics – key point there’s a German DDay Theater List that gives MMGs +1 PEN against infantry… they’d still save those hits (well possibly :p)

Nat replied to the topic Spotter and Transports in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 7 months ago
Ok, one question is… Do you mean the Spotter, as in the artillery /mortar unit upgrade? Or are you meaning the Forward Artillery Observer, the HQ unit? – I mention this because I see a lot of people confusing the two game terms with real world terminology and therefore using spotter when talking about the FAO!
However…..
If you mean the a…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Timing of Artillery Declaring a Target and choosing indirect fire in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 7 months ago
basically the timing is:
you pull the order die and decide the gun is going to fire
you pick what and how you are going to fire ie HE or AP, indirect or direct
opponent decides to go down or not
you measure range
you roll the dice.* (including to see if hit by the FAOs artillery strike) -

The battle of britian starter box went out of production a couple of years ago unfortunatly and was (Eventually) replaced with the Battle of Miday box, there was a direct ‘battle of britian bundel’ which is something different.
But yeah this is one of those games that doesnt actually NEED a starter box to get started in with….all you need is…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic General doubts in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 8 months ago
What can I say….I like the game, but feel its let down in part by the rulebook. I mean some parts of the rulebook could do with being tidied up as the references they need to make sense are missing. Or the rules have been changed and theres still references to those rules in the book (most noticably in the stats section with refits about DC r…[Read more]
