This question applies to a brigade has multiple units that qualify for a free move and they are not being given a brigade order. If the commander fails in the middle of giving orders to these units, do all the remaining units that qualify receive a free move, or only the one he was giving an order to when he failed?

I’ve always found the resin kits to be lacking in the instruction department , ie , the instructions for a field gun is one line drawing which hides most of the detail behind the gun shield . Not to mention the various unknown pewter bits and pieces . Is that flash or part of the kit , the instructions aren’t clear . I’ve built several guns b…[Read more]

I wanted to thank Graig Butler and Warlord Games for their fantastic customer service. They solved a problem and helped me with a project I was working on.

Hi

I’m working on the German opel radio truck. I can’t find any instructions on building the kit. I’ve searched everywhere but no luck. Sometime why is it so difficult to find instructions with some of these kits.

Cheers

I held off buying the V3 Core Rules for a while – I was pretty miffed having relatively recently collected the V2 Core Rules and ten army and campaign books and now find that they are considered to be obsolete.

But I saw a decent deal on the Core Rules so decided to get that at least. I don’t think I will be replacing my physical army and…[Read more]

It could be because historically the 251/10 was the platoon Cmd vehicle.

I have not tried a bigger game with the new 3e of the rules, but we have done this with both the 1e and 2e, and it worked out just fine. In fact, a couple of times it was just too fun, but I would have to write an AAR to explain that, which I will save for another time. Anyway, I can’t see why larger games using the newer 3e wouldn’t work.

Oh, I…[Read more]

3rd Edition has some ideas on how to play bigger games without too many order dice bogging down the game. Have others tried them or other ways to play bigger games and how has it worked?

So … I always like the idea of a complete formation rather than just a few units…
And I like the idea of sailing boats
Plus for some strange reason I end up playing Russians in every historical system!

which means the MADNESS of the Russian Fleet in the Eastern Med 1805-1807…. all 42 ships! (16 being 2nd and 3rd rates)… But has the upside…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Command vehicles: the SdKfz 251/10 cannot be deployed in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago

Apps are ‘tools not rules’ – they can contain errors.

What vehicle had you selected for your command vehicle?

I can’t test on the app as I don’t subscribe to it, but there is nothing in the command vehicle rule or the armoured platoon selector that prevents command vehicles also being in the second mandatory vehicle slot or the optional vehicle…[Read more]

Fabrizio Anastasio replied to the topic Command vehicles: the SdKfz 251/10 cannot be deployed in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago

It is an error message on the official app.

For example, if you create and Italian armored platoon and choose the “light semovente” with the command option, if it isn’t the platoon leader the app tells you it is an invalid choice.

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Command vehicles: the SdKfz 251/10 cannot be deployed in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago

“But you cannot buy a command vehicle if it isn’t the platoon commander.” Where is the rule saying this? Or the rule you’re taking as suggesting it?

Fabrizio Anastasio started the topic Command vehicles: the SdKfz 251/10 cannot be deployed in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago

Hi,

The issue in brief: by the current rules, it seems this vehicle cannot be deployed.

In the current rules, the SdKfz 251/10 (grants command vehicle) is an option of the SdFkz 251/1 Hanomag.

Yet, you cannot buy in into an armored platoon as the 251/1 is considered a transport so it doesn’t appear in the armored platoon on the app.

You can…[Read more]

Yes!! The original rules writer did a book called Dreadnought! You will have to do a little bit of stat conversion work, but it can be done fairly easy!!

Nat replied to the topic Light vs Medium Machine Guns in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago

pretty much yes.
LMG, 2 man crew, inside a squad
MMG, 3 man crew, fixed weapon, a unit in its own right.

Mike started the topic Light vs Medium Machine Guns in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago

I know how the rules treat light vs medium machine guns differently, but it often seems that the actual machine gun is often the same weapon. Is that true at least regards to Bolt Action’s rules, the main difference is light machine guns have crews of 2 models and can be part of squad, while medium machine guns are treated as infantry support…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic HE on multiple units / pin in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 6 months ago

IF (and its a big if) multiple units are hit by a HE template then yes all units hit will receive the pins.

Note you roll the D2/D3 for each unit.

Example a 4″ HE hits a unit of 3 models, you place the center between 2 of the models making sure that all 3 are hit by the template (so meeting the requirements for placing the template) and you…[Read more]
