Howdy Aidan! The serious Bolt Action players here go to the Las Vegas Open every year. There’re also tournaments in Salt Lake City, at a store called Gajo Games….

L.T. Russell replied to the topic M51 Multiple Machine Gun Carriage (quad .50 cal), what tow? in the forum Bolt Action 4 weeks ago
Howdy wAbout! Yeah, I gotta agree with you. I did a little research. The US M45 Quadmount weighs approximately 2400 lbs. Maybe a little more depending on which trailer it’s mounted on. The US M1 37mm AA gun weighs approximately 6130 lbs. and is considered a medium AA gun in Bolt Action. The US M1A1 90mm gun weighs approximately 19000 lbs.…[Read more]

Aidan, another option for your American army would be Korean War. They used basically the same uniforms, equipment, vehicles as later war WWII. Ya just gotta mind a Korean and/or Chinese opponent….

L.T. Russell replied to the topic Need help making my first bolt action army in the forum Bolt Action 1 month ago
Nah, don’t think that Aidan. Every army has its strengths and weaknesses. Work with your Americans. Try different stuff. Get ahold of the Armies of the United States book and look for things that catch your eye. I just picked up a 3D print of a US M15 halftrack. It’s a self-propelled AA platform, with a heavy autocannon linked with two HMGs.…[Read more]

Howdy Aidan!
The big German armored cars; Sdkfz 231 6-rads and 8-rads, Sdkfz 234/1/2 and 3 all have a special ability called “Dual Directional Steering”. They have a driver facing both forwards AND backwards in the vehicle, with dual controls. So if they have to recce out of trouble, they get a full movement in reverse….

Howdy Gents, THANKS for your replies!
Stuart, Aidan, thanks for the info! Between the multiple campaign books, Armies of books, Version 1, 2 and now 3, errata, etc, etc, I worry that Bolt Action is becoming like Warhammer….ya gotta buy half a dozen $50 rulebooks just to play a basic game….
Steven T, I hear ya! The number one way to keep y…[Read more]

Another consideration; “Small Unit” defensive adjustment. The medic, even with one helper is a “Small” unit. Same with your LT, of whatever kind, with only one assistant. Gets you an extra defensive bonus….

Hahaha! Nah, it usually ends up being stuff like me thinking outside the box and wanting to know why I CAN’T use antitank grenades against Russian Ursus infantry or that NO, his Chaffee doesn’t get a full backwards recce move ’cause it doesn’t have two drivers, like the big German 8-wheeled armored cars. I advocate common sense and reality, h…[Read more]

Aidan, a heavy mortar is an excellent idea. IIRC, you need to take a Regular unit to get a spotter. I’d recommend it….

I’ve been playing Bolt Action for about five years now. Bolt Action and Konflikt 47 are the games that got me into miniatures gaming. I’ve picked up a number of the army and campaign books, as well as the basic rulebooks. Eventually I’ve noticed several discrepancies, mostly in German vehicle stats, since I mostly play Germans. I refer to boo…[Read more]

At my local game store I heard a rumor about a second edition of Konflikt 47 coming out after the release of Bolt Action 3rd edition. Anybody hearing anything?
