Ken started the topic Roll for Vehicle Damage in the forum Bolt Action 1 month ago
Does the unmodified roll of 1 always always fails to damage rule apply to Assaults on vehicles ?
Assaulted an open top armored car 7+ armor, got 6 hits, rolled a 1 to damage.
Thought it was blown up since it was open top, local rules guru said that a 1 fails to damage.
Friendly game so not worried about it but want to know if it applies to…[Read more] -

Thanks, tried searching for mortar in the forum but got no results. Now I need to decide if I want to use them in an upcoming local game store tourney or use my soviets.

The description of the squad from the Armies of Japan book states

Ken replied to the topic Should I introduce my oldman to BA with his old 1/72 scale soldiers in the forum Bolt Action 2 years ago

Ken replied to the topic Any help with assembling Soviet Infantry avilable ? in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 7 months ago
Finishing up the last squad on my russians, primered them yesterday and will start painting today. They were the toughest set I’ve put together thus far, fighting to get the arms and weapons to work together resulted in glue all over some figures. Often took several tries to get things positioned to where I was happy with them. I ended up ha…[Read more]

Ken started the topic Any help with assembling Soviet Infantry avilable ? in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 11 months ago
I have previously built Japanese and USMC armies. With no one in the group having Soviets I decided to build a Soviet Army.
The Marines and Japs were pretty easy to get together, many of the figures I used arms with weapons attached, only had problems with the LMG and BAR figures.
With the Soviets you have to attach each arm and the weapon…[Read more]
