Yes
try Chain Of Command or my favorite “Battlegroup”
in all seriousness you may find hard to find players for these games because majority of what I see with Bolt action now are the 40 K crowd that wanna win at all cost and tweak their list
I have to mitt we are older and don’t play tournaments or kill or less we try to keep it historical sometimes we throw points out and just throw a platoon or two down to try it out
I agree with you on team weapons the German medium machine gun should be something feared but in Bolt Action you can charge it with no Problems
so stick to historical opponents i.e. theater lists
try smaller games until you get your mojo back
and look at other rule systems doesn’t mean you have to stop playing Bolt Action but there are more details set out there more historically based
but the key is if you’re not having fun find somebody you’re having fun with
I haven’t played in over a year and we’re gonna try a small 500 point game soon to see what we think if you want to get back into it
that being said we’re having a blast with Battlegroup and all that that provides
there is no one answer to defeat one list or another but I really like playing historical theater list matchups
I just see Bolt action become another 40 K mixup of 1940 Germans facing late war Russians and tournaments and things and it just frost my cookies as expression goes off
enjoy
