Nat replied to the topic Missing troops in V3 in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

yes the ball WAS dropped with campaign units and equipment… the impression we got was they were going to be folded into the core rules 🙁

It seems that people think that they’ll be included in the armies of … books – I think thats a bit silly as they’ll be back to repeating rules in different books which increases the chance of differeing…[Read more]

I am very surprised that the following troops are not mentioned in V3 . I know that they were added in some of the later Campaign books but surely this was the time to make them readily available to all.

And now that the 3rd ed. Bolt Action rules have been released (and I’m flipping through the copy I bought), I am thinking of trying to do some rules converting from K’47 into 3rd ed.
We do have an active Bolt Action player base in this city’s wargamers assossiation for helping out, after all.

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic V3: Forward Observer counts as Spotter as per p. 102, regarding being "Down"? in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

They are not spotters. Their rule does not even suggest they act as spotters, it just says friendly units using indirect fire can draw line of sight from the observer. The spotter rules mention forward observers in brackets for one spotter related rule – that doesn’t make them spotters, it just shows they act the same for that one rule.

Hi,

I was wondering if a Forward obeserver counts “fully” as a Spotter as described at p. 102 of the V3 rulebook. It is stated that Spotters always count as “Down” when without an order dice, as they would spend most of their time lying down.

It stands to reason that forward artillery/naval/airbone observers would do the same. Any opinion?

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic V3, Italian army special rule in Meeting Engagement – rules conflict in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

Not a new issue. Similar situation in second edition, here’s the guidance from that (which should have been added to the scenario…)

“If I play with an Italian army in a attacker-defender scenario, the
enemy can’t do a Run order in the first turn if the Italian is the
defender. Can an artillery unit move onto the board in the first turn
if it…[Read more]

Janne Aaltonen started the topic V3, Italian army special rule in Meeting Engagement – rules conflict in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

Italian army has this special rule:

“During the first turn of the game, the enemy cannot order
their units to RUN as they cautiously probe the terrain in
front of the Italian line for minefields and make their way
across the barbed wire.”

In meeting engagement you MUST bring you first wave to the table on turn one.
Fixed weapons require RUN…[Read more]

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Error in Bolt Action App 3.0 special rules export in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

Probably best to use the report a problem link bottom right of the App login page – your comment here is unlikely to be seen by anyone that can do anything about it.

I am not sure if this is the right forum group. But if you make a BA 3 list in the new app and export a PDF, the special rules are added for each unit that have them. IE if you have 4 squads with panzerfaust the identical special rules about that are added 4 times to the PDF, making the PDF extremely large and unwieldly.

Fabrizio Anastasio started the topic Case Blue Army Special Rules in 3rd Edition in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

Hi all,

I have just had a chance to read the new list for the Royal Italian Army. I was wondering if it was still possible to use the army special rules of Case Blue or if it creates rules/balancing problems. I sincerely hope it is still possible, as they make the Italians significantly more competitive.

Donald Linn replied to the topic Fast Tanks in V3 in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

At least it’s not just me not spotting them. Nothing to stop us adding fast to appropriate vehicles, I suppose!

Nat replied to the topic Fast Tanks in V3 in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

M18 in the RB – yes, but no…. its an downgrade (armour) to the M10 with the option to take recce

Has fast – Nope

SteveT replied to the topic Fast Tanks in V3 in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

Is the M18 Hellcat in the basic book? That’s just about the fastest WW2 tank, so if that doesn’t have FAST, then I don’t know what would.

Stuart Harrison replied to the topic Fast Tanks in V3 in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

Looks like they’ve left allocation ‘fast’ to the upcoming Armies of books.

Donald Linn started the topic Fast Tanks in V3 in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 8 months ago

Hi Everyone.

Has anyone found any tanks with the “Fast” characteristic yet? I’ve been scouring the lists since yesterday, and I can’t see and I can’t see any. I had expected that Crusaders, M18s , BT7s and the like would have been designated fast.

Nat replied to the topic News from the Wardroom! in the forum Victory At Sea 1 year, 8 months ago

Some play testing is being conducted on a proposed change to flights.

Then it needs to be submitted to WL for a green light, so until we hear from them it might not go ahead.
