NICE stuff, Jim!  I don’t model anymore.  I was out of gaming for nearly 30 years, so I don’t have paints, brushes, etc. anymore, and my eyesight is fading with age.  These days I pay the talented ones to produce my gaming gear.  I’ve picked up sprues, stowage kits and bits and send them along with models to my guy, Dustin, in TN.  Generic mini…[Read more]

Hi David

Welcome to Bolt Action. It is really an amazing game.

Here’s my small piece of advice if you want to take it

As a new start I would advise building up one squad at a time. You need a minimum of   1 command group (min 1 officer) and 2 rifle squads (min 5 men each unit). Obviously this is a bare minimum and it would be difficult to p…[Read more]

Thank you for your feedback, as well as your suggestions I will definitely be looking into these sourcebooks you suggested, I had already decided that my next purchase was going to be the 8th Army starter set as well as some additional commonwealth infantry boxes,

Hi David, and welcome to the group. I’m pretty sure you will get a few detailed responses, but let me just give you a few suggestions to get you started.

Have a look at the army lists in the Bolt Action Third Edition rule book. Here you will find some core information about how to organize and equip your infantry squads. For more details and…[Read more]

I  built   a box a couple weeks ago , and I like the 2 older Russian sets ( Summer & Winter ) better . While the separate rain capes are a nice touch ( not really a fan of those molded on ones , and the backpacks ) the size differences of various parts is annoying . Example ,the heads are larger as is  the PTRD anti-tank rifle than the one in the…[Read more]

My friend recently got the new Soviet Army starter set with the new plastic Soviet Infantry. I offered to assemble a few for him, so he gave me a couple of sprues. What this means is that I finally got a good look at the new Soviet Infantry sprue shown below.

Even before assembling, the first thing I notice is how much more “Heroic Scaling”…[Read more]

Hello,
Some questions about combat jump:

1) Fire is resolved after paratroopers landed and are on a certain terrain. If shooting them with flak weapon, do they benefit from cover on the ground? Thematically they are shot mid-air.

2) What happens when unit forming a 1-inch line apart on the ground, overlaps own or enemy units when…[Read more]

Howdy Bob!  I agree with the idea of fielding the experimental models.  As a German player, I’d like to use the Katchen, an APC version of the Hetzer, the Kugelblitz, and the upgraded Ostwind/Wirbelwind; twin 50mm autocannons in a turret on a Panther chassis….

Makes sense to me, Caleb….

without a weapon with a PEN value you would only roll for damage at the “surface” table but with PEN value you roll on the Full damage table. As far as I remember.

I have used the T28 (3d printed) in convention games of K47. There were a lot of experimental ‘T’ series American tanks that never entered mass production, some of which were folded, along with the Super Pershing, into the M46. Warlord already makes an M46 in their Korea line.
