Neely started the topic Are non-unit entries (Commonwealth Rules, Additional Equipment) Tournament Legal in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 1 month ago

The most recent faq states that for new units: “ the rules in the unit’s entry say otherwise, new units in these books are limited to use for scenarios and selectors from that book only.”

But what about new army rules or new equipment?

The Italians have new army rules in several campaign books (Western Desert and the 2 Italian Campaign books…[Read more]

Neely replied to the topic BA Tournament Rules Question: Mounted HQ Having Rifle Carbines???? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 7 months ago

If you look in most (I can’t say for all) Cavalry units, the unit description specifically says “Carbines” or “Carbine rifle” or “Cavalry Carbines” so therefore get the carbine rules. While the officer unit does not say “carbine rifles” or “carbines” or, etc, therefore my opponent states officers cannot have rifles that can be fired on…[Read more]

Neely started the topic BA Tournament Rules Question: Mounted HQ Having Rifle Carbines???? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 7 months ago

I was in a recent BA tournament and had a Mounted unit of German SS Cavalry and then as such – made my HQ mounted (per the FAQ). My opponent stated that my mounted German HQ could NOT have rifle carbines, as the officer slot in the Armies of Germany only state that I can have the models having: “pistols, rifles, assaults rifles, or SMGs”,…[Read more]

Quick question, there are a handful of BA theatre books that show rifle grenades as a additional option for some infantry platoon (french, us, and german). I also know the french can get vb launchers/rifle grenades…

Does anyone know if any of the theatre books spell out the rifle grenade option as tournament legal? aka states “can be taken in a g…[Read more]

Stuart,

Good start to the discussion, and I agree with your statements. I’ll add that if your assumption is deemed correct: “one characteristic for one characteristic” there is still a chance that a BA British/Indian player can select the one characteristic of “Manpower of the Empire” and still get 200pts of free units (1 art observer, and 1 free…[Read more]

Hey Everyone,

This is one of my first posts in the new forum setup and I just want to say that tone is hard to convey, but my attempt is to be constructive and provide feedback to help make the BA scene be a more healthy, balanced, and therefore, more fun scene to play in. I also want to state that BA is such a fantastic gam…[Read more]

Okay, now I have a question too: are infantry units with 5pt motorcycles wound as their infantry equivalent? Regular = +4 to wound, Veteran = 5+ to wound OR since the infantry are in softskin vehicles they have a +6 to wound?

Neely started the topic Supplemental Books & New Equipment vs Tournaments in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 5 months ago

The newest FAQ does a great job of distinguishing what UNITS can be used in normal games and tournaments, but what about NEW EQUIPMENT, such as the ever so common rifle grenades that many nations used in WW2, can they be used in tournaments without special permissions? New equipment is generally in its own section in the books and there is little…[Read more]

Neely started the topic Advanced BA Rules Questions: Kaukopartio Long Distance Recon w/ Transports in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 5 months ago

So lets say I give a unit of Kaukopartio Long Distance Recon a transports and want to outflank with them, how would that work? Could I have the unit outflank in the opponents table edge with the transport?

Neely started the topic Rules Question: Brandenburgers' In Game Effect Requirements in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 8 months ago

Dear Warlord Community,

I have another question: Does a unit of Brandenburgers’ HAVE to be on the board for their reserve effects to take place in the game? There are several iterations of Brandenburgers’ in the campaign books, but the rules are ambiguous in the requirements for Bradenburgers’ effects (should be FAQ’ed, hmmm Warlord and maybe…[Read more]

Neely started the topic Rules Question: Multiple Launcher Attempting to Hit a Transport with Troops in the forum Bolt Action 2 years, 8 months ago

Hey Folks,

Just a quick question: If an opponent is attempting to shoot a Multiple Launcher at a transport with a unit, they only roll ONE 1d6 to see if it hits the loaded transport (with a 6) correct? Not 2 – one for the transport and one for the unit inside the transport.

Is that correct? I am going off of pg. 116 statement “Units carried…[Read more]
