Hello from another Helena person! Hope to see you down at White Knight soon, perhaps we will meet on the waves. I play Black Seas and A Song of Ice and Fire for miniature games. Other than that I am really into D&D, CoC and Star Wars roleplaying games.

Hello everybody, Nick up here in Helena Montana. I am starting Black Seas, and am very excited. I have the Starter Set, the HMS Victory and have purchased the British Fleet starter set. I was excited to learn that my local game store White Knight Games and Hobbies, has a pretty sizable group of people that actually have Black Seas models, and know…[Read more]

‘as modeled’ weapons gone… now pay for them

no free units’ across the whole of Bolt Action: Third Edition.

pins are applied after shooting before wounds and saves.  With few negative mods and less super 6s  (7+) to hit means that the average number of hits on a unit is going up…

however after todays tease – it’ll be worse as its now easier to get rid of them

“With Pins being easier to put on a unit in this edition,”   oh? How so?

You’ve made my day sir.👍🏻

suggest you look at news from the wardroom, and the “wardroom errata – August”

Also theres discussions with WL about some updates….

In game terms, a hidden unit represents that the enemy knows that something is there, but can’t actually see it, so I agree with all that was said above. Overall, hidden units in buildings can cause issues during game play because how the rules address this situation. The idea of just using the “hidden” modifier is a good workable solution, and…[Read more]

Zara class/150mm belt armor

Myoko/102mm belt armor

Exeter/76mm belt armor

Portland/83-127mm belt Armor

Im still frazzled how these guys put a 2+ Armor for Zara and the rest of those cruisers have 3+.
Deck and turret armor is also SIGNIFICANTLY thicker. 150mm think turret armor compared to the other whose is way less than h…[Read more]

How many bases for them do you get?

looking at the pictures of the army box they have 3 bases of Roman cavalry (15 models… 8 sprues is 16) but 4 bases of the allied /mercenary cavalry
& in the hannibal box looks like you get 4 bases of each of the cavalry (20 models.. but 12 sprues so 24 models)

See these sections:

Tanks Assaulting Infantry and Artillery

Tanks Assaulting Other Vehicles

You get +1 when shooting at vehicles.

Can vehicles assault?

When you fire using reaction to an assault, you receive a Fire order.  All that mention is evidence of is that your AT gun will get that +1 to hit if it shoots at a unit assaulting it.  There may well be changes to reactions, but that mention isn’t an indication of any change by itself.

“DDay campaign books especially US beach” – I was only able to find anything in a single theatre selector, D-Day: Overlord, p176, US Beach Landing Reinforced Platoon, Special Rules, Fortification Assault Training – Bazookas get a +1 to hit vs bunkers and buildings, and a 1″ HE vs bunkers and buildings.

DDay campaign books especially US beach

Although as said those rules only last till end of September when v3 is released

But it was mentioned for AT-Guns fireing at Vehicles : All Anti Tank guns get an additional +1 modifier to hit vehicles when shooting with a fire order (including Ambush and reaction fire).
