Also the Perry box comes with two snipers, I could see that being a pain in the rear for my opponent.

Oh yeah, I see.Since I’m a newbie, I’ll probably stick to the 2nd Lt and save me some points.
Hehe yeah, multiple platoons might be viable. I would be able to use both my bazookas, and have extra officers. But would that be fair in casual games?

That is very interesting, hoping that they give MGs a buff because they would look so cool to use.
Yeah that sounds smart. I will probably hold off on a medic till 750 or 1000 points, I really wanted to field one for thematic purposes and extra order dice, but sounds like it wouldn’t be very useful in a small army.
Off topic a bit, but would a…[Read more]

Yeah I just realized that, especially since my friend is a tank fanatic who would probably build his army around a Tiger… It isn’t advertised, but looking at reviews the Perry box comes with 2 bazookas. So maybe I could model a bazooka, and if my opponent brings a tank I could swap the vet sniper (65 points) for a reg bazooka (60 points)?

I’m not quite sure, but easyarmy allows 3. Like I said, easyarmy is 3rd party so it could be wrong or outdated. But here’s what I found after some research:
https://dev.wargameexplorer.com/building-armies-in-bolt-action-a-primer/
Site talking about building a US army that mentions 3 available per the Rulebook.
Thanks!

Yeah I’ve heard the slogan “more BARs more better”, and the Perry box comes with six so….
If I eventually expand to 750 or 1000 points, I might add a medic to the list for theme or something.

I overhauled the list based on your suggestions:
regulars: x1 2nd Lt., x2 bodyguards (SMGs)
regulars: x9 infantry (7 rifles 2 bars)
regulars: x9 infantry (7 rifles 2 bars)
regulars: x8 infantry (6 rifles 2 bars)
regular: MMG team (50
veterans: Sniper team
Total: 500 points, 6 order dice
I upgraded to 2 bars in each squad, gave the Lt an…[Read more]

Thank you for replying, I have taken your good suggestions into account and made these changes:
Gave the 2nd Lt another assistant like you said, that should help keep him alive longer. (and the assistants get free SMGs)
Upgraded the sniper to veteran.
Kept one of the MMGs. I have heard before that MMGs aren’t good like you said, but they look…[Read more]

Hello all,
I am thinking about getting into Bolt Action by buying a box of Perry miniatures’ US infantry. I’ve been toying around with list ideas on easyarmy, and have tried to create a force that would be fun to use, thematic and historical, and (somewhat) viable.
Here’s what I am thinking: (all regulars)
x1 2nd Lt. with buddy, SMGs (60…[Read more]

Aidan replied to the topic What do YOU want to see in Bolt Action v3? in the forum Bolt Action 3 weeks, 6 days ago
For machine guns to receive a buff, right now they are pretty pathetic for their points cost unless you are playing as Germany. Maybe give them a suppressive fire rule or something?

Ah yes, I guess so. Yeah and the v1 to v2 transition had to have shook some things up.

Soldotna, Alaska.
We meet at the public library because our town is lame and has no game shops……
Any Bolt Action or Victory at Sea players in the area?

That’s brilliant….I’ll have to start doing this more often. Crunched a bunch of numbers to figure out hull points, and the average hull points/tons for destroyers is roughly 1/400, but for cruisers it’s roughly 1/500. That’s interesting, considering that you would think ton-for-ton cruisers would have more HP due to their armor and size and whatnot?

Sorry mate I wouldn’t know, I mostly have a Victory at Sea collection. But I’ll do some research and ask around.

Aidan started the topic IJN Yubari light cruiser discussion: viable? in the forum Victory At Sea 1 month ago
Hey guys,
Do you think Warlord games will give us an official IJN Yubari model eventually? I think that it probably won’t happen for awhile, they have not even made the Brooklyns, Des Moines, Sendais, or even the Atlantas yet. Which is why I made my own stat card for it (I’ll share it if requested) and found a 3d printable model.
And secondly,…[Read more]

Or maybe I am just really bad at playing the USN, does anyone have any tips?

Hello fellow gamers,
This year I bought the Victory at Sea:Pacific starter set, and at first I thought the Americans had the advantage with 9 ships versus 6. However, after a few games I realized that despite their numerical advantage, it was really, really, hard to win against the IJN. They could just spam their torps from their cruisers and…[Read more]

Do you think the Atlanta-class cruisers will get to Victory at Sea? They are a fairly iconic ship, and it would be nice to have some cheap cruiser options for the U.S. navy. And I want to recreate some Guadalcanal battles with them in it…
