I disagree with that. It’s no longer a B&P game. The second edition can be described as such. BA third edition plays like a different timeline or a kind of multiverse. It has absolutely nothing to do with reality. For that kind of game, WLG actually has Conflict 47.

If you even equate weapons that could hardly be more different, then you don’t…[Read more]

The topic with V3 starts with the rulebook itself. It is not possible for 80% to fully understand the rules if WL itself explains the rules incorrectly.

Example:
Page 96, diagram14

This diagram is shown incorrectly and the funniest and stupidest thing is that it was shown correctly in V2.
So they deliberately changed a picture, which is now…[Read more]

I use Vallejo and AK 3rd Gen with a brush and Vallejo Air and Tamiya with my airbrush.

It’s not about balance. This is lazy gameplay writing.
I invest money and time in a model and then it gets destroyed because of a random dice result because it just drives away?

You give the player the opportunity to use more vehicles. Then you weaken them with FUBAR, failed order tests and this ridiculous MG rule.

At the same time, you make all…[Read more]

I understand what you mean, but then you can’t charge money for it. I would accept that for a free PDF and a first edition, but the rulebook itself is full of errors. Diagrams are wrong, cross-references are wrong and some rule explanations that were still there in the second edition are missing.

The promise was that nothing would be changed that…[Read more]

I realise that the game is not historically accurate. But it should at least follow a certain logic in the game itself. Then a motorbike with an MG costs 10 points more and the issue is settled.

It seems to me as if all these rule changes were decided completely at random without even thinking about whether they make sense.

I still don’t understand that there was really someone at Warlord Games who thought that these rules made sense and were useful for the game.

Bolt Action V3 is neither a historical nor a realistic game. With version 3, the decision has been made to publish a fantasy game set during the Second World War.
It’s not just the weapon rules, which very often don’t make sense. It’s the rules in general. I could list countless ones.

Why they decided to change the rules so much can only be…[Read more]
