Steeljackal replied to the topic Are Rifle Grenades a small arm or heavy weapon? in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 8 months ago
Reading rules, it does not matter if it is fired from a light weapon (and to be precise it is not a light weapon, but a special light weapon, beacuse it is a rifle with RIFLE GRENADE ADAPTOR attached) but the weapon used and its rule is the rifle grenade (see battle for france or battle of the bulge), which is a heavy weapon. Like the hand grenade…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic The 1 inch rule in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 8 months ago
In building rules are clear, one unit per floor. If building is big then you can divide floor in section and put one unit per section.

From vehicles chapter
“…We don’t allow tanks or other vehicles to move through friends, or to be moved through by friends.
Vehicles must negotiate their way around friends whether they are infantry, artillery or other vehicles.
Vehicles must normally stay more than 1” from enemy units, as per the general 1” gap rule…”To me as always reule…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic What house rules do you guys use? in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 8 months ago
My humble opinion…
1)
“Weapons teams and losing the gunner: Both members of weapons teams are taught to load and fire their weapon. If the gunner is taken out of action due to a sniper or a confirmed 6, then roll a dice. On a 4+ the loader is able to take over the weapon. He does suffer the -1 for missing a crewman like normal.”
From rulebook…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic Ambush timing in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
Again, it’s not that simple in my opinion.
The regulation says “… Simply move each model up to a maximum of 6 …” and in fact we can move models at different distances, passing a model in front behind or changing positions as we want, always respecting the maximum distance for each individual model.
During an ambush, one model may have traveled…[Read more] -
Steeljackal replied to the topic Ambush timing in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
It is not so simple. How I put models together during ambush? Before starting to move they where maybe grouped close, at the end of movement they are grouped close, and during movement? I put them in a row and far away only because the ambush has already been declared and therefore I already know that enemy will fire an HE at them?

Steeljackal replied to the topic Jagdpanther vs Tiger 1 in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 9 months ago
It is the same with StugIV and Panzer IV, but:
1) At the time, in reality, turretless tanks had the advantage of costing less to produce, but in the game it is not reproduced correctly with the point cost.
2) On the other hand, the turretless tanks had the advantage of having a low profile, and being more difficult to hit. If you see vintage…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic Units on transport in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
Nick
ParticipantThis happened recently. A transport with a squad in was hit and destroyed by both a panzerfaust and flamethrower coming from same unit. Questions: Does the hit unit for wounds (after d6) get hit by the penetration of the weapons or just their morale level? Would the unit if technically hit by flamer also need a flamer morale…

Steeljackal replied to the topic Camouflage nets in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
In rulebook it is cited like any other light cover.
You can put it in gun emplacements, like trenches and sandbags. You use it as a normal scenic element that provides light cover when setting up the table.I looked at a couple of expansion manuals (“Battlegorund Europe” and “D-day: Overlord”) and as protections to add to the army list I couldn’t…[Read more]

Steeljackal replied to the topic balkas (ravines) and shell craters question in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 10 months ago
As already written above, it is enough to agree between players.
We consider:
small craters: rought ground; no cover; does not block LOS
large crater (which can contain one unit inside) and deep: rought ground; cover -2 (terrain is hard cover, like trench or fox hole); does not block LOS*.NOTE *:For practical reasons often the craters are not…[Read more]

“I agree with Warlord answer, because spotter can’t fire or assault, excalty like a medic and a chaplain. ”
Steeljackal – the gap in your “exactly” claim is that medics and chaplains ARE non-combatants under the laws of armed conflict, a spotter is not.
The first two aren’t allowed to fire or assault based…

I agree with Warlord answer, because spotter can’t fire or assault, excalty like a medic and a chaplain. He work like a non-combat unit, only things he do is extend mortar/arty los. So to me have no sense that he can take and hold objective.
Then is true, rules does not say explicitly he can’t, but to me rules say it implicitly. I work every day…[Read more]
