Reply To: What do YOU want to see in Bolt Action v3?

Fix SMOKE. Instead of letting opponent move it to their advantage when it isn’t on target (1st edition smoke must have been really broken), have it drift in a random direction 2D6 or D6+6 inches.

It seems the new smoke rules on page 97 are not favored by a lot of people because for the most part, this has already been changed by a lot of Bolt Action groups. Most of the clubs/groups I know or game with use the D6+6 inches in a random direction. It would be great if they just errata-fix this and make it official.

MMG teams – a la Juggernaut have them do 1 pin for firing at a soft target in range and another if they achieve a hit.

Alan, what a simple, easy, and appropriate addition. Great idea! That being said, I would add that the MMG also doesn’t suffer from long range and one crew remaining penalties – “A minimum of two crew is always needed to fire at full effect”(page 73).

Automatic Pin Special Rule: If not firing at long range and not reduced to one crew, MMGs automatically cause one pin for firing at a soft target, and another pin if the MMG scores one or more hits.
