the mysteron started the topic infantry arc of fire query in the forum Bolt Action 1 week, 6 days ago
Sorry to be Mr loadsa questions. I did try to search the forum for an answer. But do infantry and their weapons other than fixed weapons have an arc of fire? I ask because in my game last night a vehicle target appeared to the rear of a deployed AT rifle. When the AT rifle is activated can it just turn round with a fire action and shoot without…[Read more]

the mysteron started the topic Breakthrough scenarion query in the forum Bolt Action 1 week, 6 days ago
I’m quite enjoying the new BA3 battle scenario generator. However I note that with the Breakthrough page 165 it says if you roll for ‘Fog of War’ Deployment you have to re-roll because reserves are not allowed for this breakthrough object. But I note the deployment types allow reserves! Surely the reason for not allowing Fog of War is because the…[Read more]

the mysteron started the topic Command vehicle special rule query in the forum Bolt Action 3 weeks, 6 days ago
I been trying to understand the command vehicle special rule on page 149. The sentence ( not cumulative with morale bonus, check term. and other command vehicles). I take it that this ‘check term’ is a note to a proof reader or asking you as the reader to check what the term means not a rule elsewhere in the book?

the mysteron started the topic FAO and spotters V3 in the forum Bolt Action 1 month, 1 week ago
The rules and the errata seem quite clear on this so I’m sorry to ask for reassurance but I just want to be clear. If you have a FAO or a spotter, any number of regular or veteran indirect firing weapons can use them see a target to fire at and do so during the same turn and at different targets the FOA and spotter might see? And this is also the…[Read more]

the mysteron started the topic Scenario 11: Surrounded! first turn query in the forum Bolt Action 5 months ago
Surrounded and Man Hunt scenarios seem similar in their use of the ‘Confused fight’ allowing reserves to enter from all directions. However the Attackers first wave in Man Hunt must enter from their sides table edge. In ‘Surrounded’ there is no such stipulation, so can they enter from any table edge?
Thanks

Thanks Stuart for clarifying that.

the mysteron started the topic recce selections in the forum Bolt Action 7 months, 4 weeks ago
Hi, I note in general when creating an army your allowed to take 0-1 armoured cars and 0-1 Tanks, Tank Destroyers etc. So you might take an armoured car and a light tank which might have the recce option so having two vehicles with this recce escape reaction! Is this correct?
Thanks

the mysteron replied to the topic team model weapons in the forum Bolt Action 11 months, 2 weeks ago
Thanks Stuart. Once again I need to read the rules more carefully.

the mysteron started the topic team model weapons in the forum Bolt Action 11 months, 2 weeks ago
The army lists often make reference to having the weapon the model is armed with. If they make no such reference are they unarmed? I’m thinking here of a situation when my Panzershreck team was close assaulted. One model has a SMG the other a pistol modeled. Often weapon teams will show one crew member with a weapon.

On this subject, while I accept that a flamethrower could destroy a tank, I’ve never read a historical account of one having done so!

That seems to be what folks are saying about my recent query.

the mysteron started the topic Point blank long range question in the forum Bolt Action 1 year ago
Sorry to be Mr Ask loadsa Qusetions. I note some weapons such as pistols and flamethrowers have a 6 ” range which is of course point blank, do they also have a long range i.e. over 3″?
Thanks

the mysteron started the topic Indirect HE hitting a building question in the forum Bolt Action 1 year ago
Sorry if this has been asked before but I can’t seem to get the forum topic search function to work. When you hit a building with say a mortar and the round crashes through to the ground floor so not effecting the enemy on the first floor. Do these guys still suffer a pin(s)? Thanks

the mysteron replied to the topic Artillery Observers in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 1 month ago
I’m a bit surprised by this answer as it assumes there is a difference between Artillery observers and spotters for on table guns and mortars. The Bolt Action errata seems clear about spotters. Maybe there is an intention for there to be a difference?
>Note that spotters are always ignored for the purpose of victory conditions
(e.g. they cannot…[Read more]
