I am trying to understand how “ruins” differ as terrain vs buildings and rubble. We treat ruins as something between buildings and rubble. We play, you can shoot into it “ruins” but not through “ruins” just like buildings. But like rubble, you can “advance” into ruins and move through them like with rubble rather than enter them by “r…[Read more]

Hi All,

I like playing Black Powder for 28mm Napoleonic’s, is there a planned supplement to cover from 1805 – 1807 for BP2? If not is there a home-brew / fan supplement that would give ideas for armies and lists? I feel early Napoleonic’s misses out and is a great period (especially if you are a French player 🙂 ) .

I can’t speak to the “app”, John. I’m just an old flip-phone guy….

L.T. Russell replied to the topic LMG Team in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 1 week ago

Howdy Nat! My contention is that LMGs are belt-fed. A BREN is magazine-fed…

A LMG has a crew of 2, is belt-fed, is air-cooled, is fired from a bipod. An MMG has a crew of 3, is belt-fed, is fired from a tripod. Some WWII MMGs were water-cooled. LMGs and MMGs fire rifle caliber ammo. An HMG fires a much heavier cartridge, something in the…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic LMG Team in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 2 weeks ago

to answer to the OPs question … where would you put it? as a squad (where 3-4 man squads are deemed too small…) as a weapons team – now its in direct comparision to the MMG & LMG teams and to be honest you’re looking at 50 points for a regular team with an LMG (15 points for the LMG, 30 points for 3 crew, 5 points because it doesnt have…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic LMG Team in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 2 weeks ago

erm… the Bren was an LMG not an automatic rifle…

also How a weapon is used is part of how a weapon is charcatised…. for example MMGs are just a game distinction, they were either light (squad) or heavy machine guns!

Next point is … its a game that has more in line with comic books of the 80s & 90s + Hollywood films over historical…[Read more]

Even so there is no panzer heavier then a Panzer 1 listed in the app

L.T. Russell replied to the topic Partisan tanks in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 2 weeks ago

Howdy John! I think the idea is that the Partisans are using armor they captured from the Germans. I doubt either the US, Canadian or British militaries were handing over any tanks to Partisans. Just one guy’s $.02….

John started the topic Partisan tanks in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 2 weeks ago

I was looking through the options for the Partisans in terms of tanks. They are allowed and +9 armoured tank or less at inexperienced training level. But the app seems to be missing a lot of tanks. I can’t seem to see any Sherman most Panzers. I would like to run the old ball multi turret German tank they used in the early days of the war.

L.T. Russell replied to the topic LMG Team in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 2 weeks ago

Howdy Mike! This is just based on my experience as a light infantryman. Generally speaking, LMG teams don’t move around by themselves, they’re usually attached to some other unit; either attached to a squad to beef up a squad-level mission, or with the other LMG team and a fire team for security as part of the support element in a p…[Read more]

Mike started the topic LMG Team in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 2 weeks ago

Has anyone created a profile for a two-man LMG independent unit with the option to add a third man? I think they would make sense in some cases like a partisan command or commando command, where heavier equipment was less available and mobility was more important. It’s negative would be 4 shots vs 6 shots, but its positive would be the ability t…[Read more]

Hi Stuart,

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic H.Q. Units in Transport Vehicle in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago

From the FAQ:

“Page 147 “The special abilities of officers and other HQ units
mounted on transports work as normal, as long as they are being
transported in soft-skinned or open-topped armoured transports.” Does
this mean that an observer in an open-topped or soft-skinned transport
can call air strikes and artillery barrages?

No, they cannot do…[Read more]

Ian started the topic H.Q. Units in Transport Vehicle in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago

Can someone tell me if a Forward Artillery/Air Observer can call in the barrage/attack when mounted in an open topped or soft skinned vehicle?

If he can can he still do so if the vehicle has advanced? or if the vehicle has run?

Page 147 does say officers/HQ units aboard transports work as normal so I’m guessing its OK…..but call it in after…[Read more]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Air/arty observers have actual clarity in the rules for when in vehicles: they can’t be issued a “Fire” order and as such cannot call thier strikes from inside a vehicle. They can still be used to spot for artillery though, so have a serious use case especially with things like nebblewerfers.</p>
