Having trouble pinning rules about Squares. I am using BP v2 rules , not any extra stuff.

(1) Can a square move whilst remaining as a square? (I assumed not)

(2) On the reference sheet from the warlord site, it says they get 1 free move if command failed and notes “one move max”. Why does it specify “1 move max”, I thought free moves were always…[Read more]

This is something I have already noticed as a newbie player.

“3 move orders” are going to occur more than “2 move orders”.  This is simply based on the fact that 2 occurs only when you roll exactly 2 less than needed whereas 3 occurs on 3 under, 4 under, 5 under, 6 under…

This strikes me as very strange. Anyone else noticed this? I wonder if…[Read more]

Just had this situation:

Cavalry charged a line unit.  Alongside the line unit, to its left, was an artillery unit. I think this counts as supporting the infantry.

The line unit did badly and their break test resulted in destruction.

Supports have to do a break test if their friends are lost.  But in the case of artillery, looking at the c…[Read more]

What is the advantage of Line formation?  I can’t see any firing mods.  (I can see various Column advantages)

Thank you in advance

Hopefully someone can help me with this…

Cavalry unit charges an infantry unit.

1. Roll hard combat:  cavalry scored 7 hits on the stamina 4 infantry.

2. Are they shaken at this point?

3 They pass their break test well.  They are left with 3 casualty markers. What happens to the unit?  Destroyed or now shaken?

Thanks

Just looking the the Austrians in Clash of Eagles.  Page 67 has a small chart to determine Personal Quality Value of commanders. It also references that this is used in conjunction with 94 of the main rule book.

Problem:  this appears it might be a references to BP v.1.

(1) So what, are Personal Quality Values?

And

(2) How do we know what r…[Read more]

Chaps, where on earth are the listings for SS Pioneers?

I’ve been playing that turreted vehicles do not get a -1 to hit for just rotating turrets and shooting(i.e. they’ve been given a Fire, not an Advance). Is this right?

I’ve seen videos where -1 was applied.

Not very related but I’ve seen videos where people apply 2 pins to a unit hit by an MG. But I cannot find a reference to it. Assuming a house…[Read more]

Hello all,

If I have a large force with say 2 platoons, can I but stuff in the HQ part of the army twice over?

e.g.If I have 3 platoons could I have, in theory, a medic in each?

Or is the HQ considered as being once per army?

Cheers

If infantry shoot at, say, an open-top AFV, I assume the best they can achieve is a pin?

How about a sniper vs an open-topped vehicle (of any kind)? Do they just kill the crew one at a time?

I am not very clear on how Bolt Action handles these things.
