Howdy Darin, John!

Yeah, I just checked my Armies of Great Britain 3rd Edition, and there’s no listings for any of the other Commonwealth nations.  I “assume” this will be coming later or perhaps is out on a PDF….

Asked for a clarification on this, they said to continue to use the army selection in the Core rulebook until Armies of the Commonwealth comes out.

You’re right  , generic is boring . I’ve always wondered why Warlord’s resin vehicles have molded on stowage as opposed to separate stowage so you can place it where you like , or better yet no stowage at all , leaving it up to the builder to add what they like . I’ve always wanted to build a beach diorama with DD Shermans , but having 2 or 3…[Read more]

Yes, it is a little confusing. What it means is that you add 1 to the target number required. So, if you need a 6+ for a successful roll, you now need a 7+.
the easier way is to convert it to a -1 to the actual dice roll.

I thank you for the advice, as and I think I am going to take it, to the point were I am going to make (using the figures in the gentleman’s war starter set) 1 x command group and 2x squads with LMG’s for each of the 2 sides, I am also considering getting the Afrika Korps starter army and 8th army starter set, but based on what you suggested…[Read more]

In the AT Vii (100 days), it states…

Gallop at Anything: Commanders issuing a Charge order to a unit with this rule
gain +1 to their Staff Rating to do so. Cavalry with this rule automatically gain
the Ferocious Charge rule (Black Powder, page 90) but must make a break
through move if allowed even if this takes them off the table.

… So,…[Read more]

I always assumed it was saying +1 to your command rating; a one-point bonus in other words. Plusses and minuses get thrown around loosely in the rules, so context is always the best guide to what they meant. Surely in this case they wanted the cav to be impetuous, therefore it makes sense that it would be a one-point bonus to the command rating or…[Read more]

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]
