Activity – Warlord Games

Andy started the topic Jock Column Themed Army List in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago

I have not played V3 but have played V2. I have decided to start a new army for V3, but have a hit a conundrum which I need help with.

I am building a themed army of a Dec 1941 Jock column from Operation compass. The following units made up a Jock column.

2nd Battalion the Rifles – going for 2 squads infantry platoon. They where always short on…[Read more]

Howdy Mike!

IIRC, some of the Version 2.0 scenario books have provisions for playing “Special” characters/historical figures. IDK if this was deliberate on Warlord Games part to link the miniatures with the game, but it seems like it. I’d imagine it’s the same idea behind the KELLY’S HEROES models and miniatures. Just one guy’s $.02….

Can anyone from the Bolt Action advisory board let me know if anyone in the group is considering special rules for the special figures. They could be prepared as optional rules section to give the game a bit more flash. The special abilities should align with the underlying narrative Warlord provides about the character and should not minor.

Mike replied to the topic Italian vehicles in German service? in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago

I wish there were a way to import units from other army lists for various reasons including the reason you noted. Perhaps in the future that could happen with a simple note that the list does not conform to the “approved” lists. This would help in a variety of cases, not just the one you are dealing with.

…26 (points) more than the Americans, for a Panzerschreck (Pen +6).

If given the choice, I would be happy to pay an 26 extra points to change my American veteran bazooka team from Pen +5 to Pen +6.

If I pay the 26 points, can I say my American veteran bazooka team is using a captured German panzerschreck (Pen +6)? (wink, wink)

Russell started the topic Italian vehicles in German service? in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago

I am trying to build some Italy German forces and use some of the captured and also German built vehicles and the army builder app has no support for captured vehicles from Italy? is this an oversight or an omission? there seem to be a lot of French conversions or even Cech but help me out Warlord army builder app

Teikoku U started the topic ADGZ armored car profile mistake(need fix) in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago

I double check, both profile and lore section incorrect – this car actually has BOTH MMG and Light AC, not only one. Now we have AC as option to change mmg in turret, maybe we need add second one?

and…see no free option for soviet armored platoon in app, also need fix for it 😉

Ghettotech replied to the topic Pin value on Tesla Guns in the forum Konflikt '47 6 months, 4 weeks ago

I guess there is some other balancing factor. (hits/pen.)

It may also depends on what to shoot to make it strong. “GTravity Pulse” seems stronger on Infantry than Vehicles/Walkers. From my expirience so far.

Jeff Knez replied to the topic Panzerschreck Costs in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 4 weeks ago

Interesting posts. Thanks for the feedback, guys.

The real issue I have is this; the Americans are paying 78 points for a Veteran Bazooka team (Pen +5). The Germans are paying 104 points, 26 more than the Americans, for a Panzerschreck (Pen +6). All the stats for both units are the same except the penetration. Seems a steep price to pay for…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Panzerschreck Costs in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 4 weeks ago

In the MRB list, the veteran premium is only applied to the base anti tank rifle team cost with the panzershrek as a fixed price upgrade. In AoG, the veteran premium is applied to the regular panzershrek team as a whole. It’s a function of the unit pricing system throughout Bolt Action. Opinion – all options should have pricing by experience le…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic Panzerschreck Costs in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 4 weeks ago

Howdy Jeff!

Warlord Games is a British company. IMO, it’s just all part of standard policy to screw the German player, in favor of the Allies, particularly the British. Why did the cost of a Panzerfaust go from 5 to 15? Why do certain Russian units get to have Panzerfausts, they didn’t produce them? What happened to “Tiger Fear”? Why is the…[Read more]

Jeff Knez started the topic Panzerschreck Costs in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 4 weeks ago

I apologize if this has been discussed earlier but ….

Why did the cost of a German Panzerschreck jump up so much in the new Armies of Germany book?

In the Bolt Action Rulebook (pg. 206), the cost is 88 points, now it’s 104 points (pg. 47 of the Armies of Germany book).

I don’t see any new special rules added.

What gives?

Mike started the topic Capt. John Henry Cound Brunt VC MC in the forum Bolt Action 7 months ago

Are there any special rules associated with this casting?

Ah, i see your intention.

But it seems this official forum is the last best place to adress Warlord in some way.

Sandancer76 replied to the topic Unit Type of Platoon leaders in Axis Army list forSchwertruppen and Stahltruppen in the forum Konflikt '47 7 months ago

Sorry do not understand your reply. Yes those pages from the list are subdivided into Company Commanders and Platoon Commanders. However my point is that for these 2 Platoon Commanders their unit rating lists them as Company Commanders therefore they will have the morale benefits at least as Company rather than Platoon Commanders my post was…[Read more]
