Kar98k replied to the topic Short Shot on new Soviet Army Infantry sprue in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago
From the picture, it looks like it might have broken off. Maybe when been pulled.
Anyway, I have experienced this, but not all that common. That is, certain plastic parts being broken or almost broken. Maybe from packaging or maybe when pulled from the machine. Either way, I’ve notice some bits are more prone to this than others.
It happens to…[Read more]

looks right to me, just give those PZ Grens a down dice and you will have it done Honestly I wish these forums were a bit more active but I am guessing most discussion is now on facebook groups or discord

Well it seems to be a QC problem , as a sprue I’ve just received from a online seller ( 4 months after I got my 1st box ) is also missing the bayonet on the same part . Come on Warlord , sort it out

Hi, just wanting to see if I did this correctly, (photo attached for reference)
enemy light mortar scores a 6 to range in on my heavy field car (soft skin containing a unit of 5 x panzer grenadier veterans)
enemy rolls to damage, rolling a 5 and +1 for HE 1″ penetration equals 6 – the vehicle is destroyed!
enemy rolls for D2 pins on vehicle…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic RULES QUESTION _ BOLT ACTION V3 and V2 in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago
Green units are inexperienced, not all inexperienced units are green. You are correct in that interpretaion, Green doesn’t come automatically with being inexperienced.
If a unit is Green, it will be stated in the unit’s entry in the relevant army list. Example, AoG3 p35, Replacement Army Squad is not Green, the only special rule they have is…[Read more]

Eric T Holmes started the topic RULES QUESTION _ BOLT ACTION V3 and V2 in the forum Bolt Action 2 months ago
Are inexperienced units always considered “Green?”
I can’t seem to find anything definitive within the rules, nor whether there is any “Points Cost” for creating “Green Inexperienced” units. I know, for as long as I’ve been playing this game, I should know this, but I can’t find anything that specifically points to a “Green Inexperienced” rule. …[Read more]

Kar98k replied to the topic Armies of Germany book typo? in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 1 week ago
Not a typo, just a silly cut and paste mistake from page 76, SD.KFZ 251 STUKA ZU FUSS. They have not added it to the errata yet. Yes, it will confuse some players.
Overall, there are a few good things about the third edition, but the rules team 1) should had been less haphazard with their “Cut and Paste” from older documents, 2) should had care…[Read more]

Kar98k replied to the topic Antitank rifle in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 1 week ago
Before the release of Third Edition, there was talk about having this +1 to stand alone AT-guns and not include those mounted on vehicles. I was one of those in favor of this as this made more sense, but there were good arguments for weapon platforms such as the Marder III, Nashorn and such. To keep things simple, “…including those mounted on…[Read more]

Not sure, maybe they had plans to release a campaign book soon like Market Garden to fill that missing company?.

Hi, noticed in the Armies of Germany book page 79, the entries for SD.KFZ 10 & 7 special rules seem to be referencing multi-launchers, not a biggie but may be confusing to some players.

after the release of the new version 3 “armies of ” books a person can find Panzer Grenadiers for German lists and also Armored Rifles for US lists so why did the UK get overlooked in the British Motor Brigades? Mechanized infantry portion of armored divisions, I can find a lot of information and orders of battle and found it odd they were not i…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Antitank rifle in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 1 week ago
No.
That only applies to anti-tank guns, not all anti tank weapons. Anti tank guns are four lines of the weapons chart, the rule even says “All anti-tank guns (from light to super-heavy, including those mounted on vehicles)”.

Steiner started the topic Antitank rifle in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 1 week ago
One question dear mates,
Do the Antitank rifles use the +1 bonus of Antitank Guns when they get a Fire order die?
They also have óptica and kinetic energy. It would make sense they would also benefit in the roll to hit but I cannot find anything in the rulebook.
Thanks

I just went into Easy-Army and added one to my existing third edition AoIJ list and it shows the transport capacity. Might be worth checking that you’re using an AoIJ3 list rather than an MRB list (‘v3 Armies of Imperial Japan-…’ rather than ‘Version 3 – Japanese Army-…’).

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Tanks with rear Facing Machine guns in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 3 weeks ago
See p151, Vehicles, Vehicle Special Rules, Turret Rear-Mounted Machine Gun. The rear mounted mg can only fire into the opposite arc that the main/co-ax fires into. This is the general rule, there are a few vehicles that combine turret rear mounted mgs and one man turret rules, in those cases it’s either the front weapon or the rear weapon (eg: J…[Read more]

Ken started the topic Tanks with rear Facing Machine guns in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 3 weeks ago
It’s stated that tanks with main guns and coax machine guns can only fire one or the other.
How about the tanks with rear facing turret machine guns like the Soviet and Japanese tanks that have them.
Are they treated like coax machine guns or can you fire both since they have different fields of fire ?

Kar98k replied to the topic Buildings and extra protection in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Another idea is to use second edition building rules, or a combination of third and second edition. They were not all that careful when they went with third edition, and I think that why the building rules got the way they were.
Overall, there are a few good things about the third edition, but the rules team 1) should had carefully read the FAQ…[Read more]

Mike replied to the topic Buildings and extra protection in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 3 weeks ago
Our group also thinks the building rules are broken at the moment. In the current version they are a bit of a death trap. They become even dumber when being targeted by something like a Nebelwerfer where every unit within 6″ of building comes under potential fire instead of within 6″ of the target (so, a single model (a spotter) in a 12″ s…[Read more]

Peter replied to the topic Buildings and extra protection in the forum Bolt Action 2 months, 3 weeks ago
The reason is, that the rules are BS! The original V2 building ruels were really good and then WLG started the chaos until the point that they deleted the extra cover rules for buildings.
It’s sad that they have no ideas for good rules.
