Given no exceptional damage, I wonder how they  are going to allow a chance of taking a leader out for non-snipers. It is going to be comical if a HE burst always just leaves the leader and special weapons men standing there (and, yes, I know in 3E that of the others automatically finds that LMG and prises from the burned body of his dead…[Read more]

“not all snipers have the TEAM rule” – not a change.  Polish marksman and Japanese lone sniper (unless he takes LMG option) come to mind as current examples of one man sniper units that don’t suffer the Team rule.

Yes, more streamlining… lol

Snipers: – +1 to hit
same 12-36″ range on a fire! or Ambush order
ignore cover saves
+1 to wound infantry /artillery crew
can pick out officers / unit leaders
not all snipers have the TEAM rule
snipers are the unit leader

-1 for loss of loader still around
if unit leader dies, loaders can pickup the weapon

Stuart,

Many thanks

Stuart, thanks

Going to make some (educated*) guess, but theres a lot of overheads that a UK company will have to pay for sending goods outside of the UK- so they spread the costs over all the individual items….

These overheads include

Import /export taxes – even to & from the EU now!
Exchange rate at the time the prices are set – if the Pound is weak…[Read more]

So… if moving under the iniative move then you are limited to a single move.

If carrying out a normal move then you still have to give the full order before rolling, which would include charges.

Iniatives moves are whats limited to 12″.  Proximity rules are there to stop you from inching sideways under iniative moves to open charge lanes for…[Read more]

I am a US customer. I used an incognito browser page and logged into my account on the British Warlord site. Once I added the items I wanted and went to check out the website said it could not ship to my address. I get that if US customers spend over $100 they get free shipping but that doesn’t make up for the 20-25% markup over GBP prices. I am…[Read more]

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]

so 1st & 2nd Lts are now all pltn commders (1st Lts)
Cpts & Majors are now company commanders (Mjrs)
Rally removes all pins instead of D6+1
‘as modeled’ weapons gone… now pay for them

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

failed order roll on vehicles and they reverse … hit the table edge and they d…[Read more]

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]
