Hi All, Doc here from Ireland. Play French in Bolt Action and also play ACW.

The hungarian rule: “Enemies cannot make Outlanking Manoeuvres and cannot use the
Infiltrators special rule for deployment”, so it turns off all infiltration during deployment (they will still get the +1 for cover saves after deployment though)

Yeah, as I’d as it sounds the rangers can run “before” the first turn, but then are limited to advance on turn 1.

Just picked up the newish Warlord resin Winter British Vickers MG & a 3 inch mortar . The figures , while nicely sculpted are on the small side . I even added a camo mesh  covered plastic helmet to a figure by just gluing it on top of molded helmet , another bare head figure got a plastic helmet as well . While basing the 3 man mortar crew I…[Read more]

Main rulebook, Fighting combat, starts page 68.  Last paragraph on page 69 deals with fighting to the flank or rear.  “Whatever its situation, a unit cannot allocate more than half its attacks to either flank or rear.”

Howdy Ghettotech!

I’m on the road, so I don’t have my rulebooks handy.  IIRC, in Bolt Action, all units with FLAK trigger automatically, no matter what their dice status, including friendly units.  ‘Course I could easily be wrong.  Yeah, there’s very few actual K47 units with the FLAK capability, but that’s why you include Bolt Action units.  The…[Read more]

Overall, that helps keep things simple and easy, and even though tanks don’t…[Read more]

P131, Vehicles, introduction, second para, last two sentences – “Before looking at the role of vehicles in depth, we will briefly discuss how the various rules already given differ in respect to vehicles.  In all other respects the rules for vehciles and infantry are the same.”

If the vehicle rules don’t specify that something is…[Read more]

Do tanks also get the +2 point-blank range modifier to hit if a tank shoots at an infantry or artillery unit?

This might seem simple to answer, but please keep reading.

I only ask because 1) we have “Shooting at Vehicles” rules (p.137)* but no “Shooting at Infantry” rules, and 2) under “Roll to Hit” (p.83) the point-blank heading says “Also know…[Read more]

No.

The pen modifiers from the vehicle rules (p138-139) only apply to heavy weapons firing against armoured targets.

Roll to Damage vs Armoured Targets, second para introduces them with “When shooting against armoured vehicles with a heavy weapon, …” and the third para reinforces that with “Remember, the additional modifiers below do not apply…[Read more]

When a HMG shoots & hits a soft vehicle or infantry man at long range, does it lose its +1 Penetration when rolling for damage/wounds?
