You proceed as normal.
Roll to hit.
If a hit is scored your roll to damage with an additional +1 pen for top armour (total pen +3, 2 for the 2″ HE, 1 for top armour). Open topped has no effect on this roll.
If you equal or beat the 7+ damage value of the carrier, roll on the damage results chart – this is where you get the +1 for being open…[Read more]

Let see if I get the example right now.
In the set-up. German player deploys a sniper team inside a building on the second floor.
Then in the first turn, the British player deploys a Cromwell tank. The Cromwell tank advances and fires its main gun with HE (2″) and its machine gun to a second floor of a building where a German sniper h…[Read more]

Hello Comrades,
In today’s game, I had problems on how to proceed in this situation.
Please, I understand this better with a practical example.
A medium mortar hits a Bren Carrier transporting 5 infantery soldiers.
What are the steps now to proceed?
The open-topped makes it confusing for me. Do we have to see if there is penetration before…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic HE against building in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago
Again, see the errata – that timing of deciding to go down has been brought in line with the actual HE rules, which state you must decide before rolling to hit:
“Page 124-125, HE weapons against buildings.e second and
third paragraph will be changed to read as follows:
This means that when rolling to hit you ignore any to-hit penalties for c…[Read more] -

Thanks for tje answer.
I see what you mean. On page 124-5 in the rulebook it says what you Just pointed out, ignore only the cover penalty hits.
Now, I have another question about the DOWN part.
In normal situation when a player declares a fire order then the other players can choose DOWN before the roll for HIT.
But in the HE against…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic HE against building in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago
The ‘to hit’ part of the example is incorrect.
The only ‘to hit’ modifier you ignore is cover, all other modifiers such as small team, down etc still apply as per the errata.
This part is also incorrect – “Now the number of hits: the sniper cannot get DOWN because it was deployed there in the first turn of the game. Roll a dice D6 (2″) to s…[Read more]

Dear Comrades,
Let me see is I am doing this process well. with an example …
A Cromwell tank advances and fires its main gun with HE (2″) and its machine gun to a second floor of a building where a German sniper hides.
To see if it hits, measure distance = 23 inches. The medium AT gun is 60 inches, so it is short range. Only penalty is…[Read more]

v1.3 of the wardroom cheat sheet…. pretty much all you need to help you play (I feel)
Yes the formatting could be better, but oh well.

The cauldron confuses me. I love the look of the miniature(s), but I’m hesitant to buy it. I don’t really understand the rules.
Do I get to place Cauldron Born units in the beginning of the game? When summoning more from the cauldron it could be up to six. Where can I buy these dudes, there’s only four with the cauldron?
I would really appre…[Read more]

Thanks!

Nat replied to the topic Assault Move Distance in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago
12″ run, if in terrain that prevents a RUN order then the assault order is limited to 6″.
This is clarified in the FAQ

Charles started the topic Assault Move Distance in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago
This has probably been asked before, but I’m not finding a thread on this. How far can a unit assault if it is in rough or difficult going? We play that if even one figure of an infantry squad is in rough going, that squad is limited to a 6 inch move including assault. Some want to argue that if even one figure is out of the rough going and the…[Read more]
