accuracy – yes..
ability to act – no
chance to run away – no
potential casulties – again no….BUT as we dont have a time frame for a turn / order activation i’m ok with that because we have no idea how many shots a RoF 1 actually is! BA is a game with a historical skin, not a simulation with a gaming skin as it were…

So small teams is gone – theres no getting round that (like exceptional damage) WL have come out and said its gone completely.
People have done the maths on FB & Discord and turns out its a bit of a wash (no real difference) on lethality between the changes in shooting with modifiers and cover.
The streamlined thing …..theres a lot less…[Read more]

yeah it sounds like multiple pins are still around for orders and such, but the shooting is just do you have pins.

You had the original battle of Britain 2 player rules – which are the free download ones.
You then had a 1.5 update version in airstrike, midway then used those rules but with the ground attack stuff removed

Starter box = all the air v air air missions plus some air v sea mission
Airstrike= all the starter box rules plus air v ground/sea
Wing commander= player progression campaign

airstrike is the offical rules .. its a 1.5. … BUT if you get the midway two player set then all it will give you is the ground attack missions a few more naval ones and the cards…
While I recommend you get it wing commander isnt a requirement at all to buy unless you want to…what it contains is : a campaign
unoffical / ready room house…[Read more] -

So points… you can buy equipment like rockets and such.. OR you drop an aircraft and up the pilot skill of multiple other aircraft.
Trait cards are found in aircraft boxes – please do buy the rulebook & AT LEAST THE ACE BOXES! If you dont buy stuff from WL, then WL will no longer support the game. You will need to buy a starter box because t…[Read more]

hmm historic use of marksmen- picking off officers and important people…
probably just better range, to hit, an extra pin & +1 PEN against infantry

When one of the vocal questions has been why cant loaders pickup the squad weapon, I can see why it was removed…. and WL have said on FB that they are gone not reworked & re-named!
Pistols losing assault, well tough fighter was 1 point, pistols were 1 point to gain tough fighter & a 6″ ranged shot… so again I can see why remove it.

Unless there’s a rule about primary weapons or sole turret weapons – yes… so unless the armies of … book and/or the rulebook get-you-by list changes stuff the Ahistorical upgrade to removing the ‘open toped’ rule and adding a HMG (neither happened) will become the standard version … & the historical viarient of replacing the LMG with an AT…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Achtung Panzer – Supported Tanks in the forum Bolt Action 1 week, 3 days ago
Hi, Re the discord – AP is a new game (less than 6 months since release at the start of April), and WL have released a number of games that start popular then die off so the mods of the discord are waiting to see the longevity of the game. Again here on the Forum I think theres been less than half a dozen threads.
Now about the game:

Sorry it was don’t use the v2 points

Nat replied to the topic V3 NEW platoon composition! Edit: and discussion apparently in the forum Bolt Action 2 weeks ago
Also the other things to consider
1) default game size (example lists & play test point) as confirmed by marcion the juggernauts podcast this week) is 1250
2) (as said by the author in April in the release article) there’s wide scale re-pointing and rule changes
Marcus also said so use v2 rules and points to see what a v3 list will look…
