MMGs and HMGS are now getting 6 shots, and can’t get removed by a single sniper shot. Additionally all vehicles get half MG shots. (Death to the dakka Stuart!) This looks optimistic, but does this mean that the BA-64 gets 2 shots now? (a single LMG)

Nat replied to the topic Achtung Panzer – Supported Tanks in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 10 months ago
Hi, Re the discord – AP is a new game (less than 6 months since release at the start of April), and WL have released a number of games that start popular then die off so the mods of the discord are waiting to see the longevity of the game. Again here on the Forum I think theres been less than half a dozen threads.
Now about the game:

Hi,
Appreciate this isn’t an Achtung Panzer forum, but there doesn’t seem to be one and BA is the closest fit.
I’m a little interested in this, but I’d like to understand what data you need to play.  Do you have to have the Warlord Games data and playing cards to play – wondering whether you are tied into what tanks warlord sell and provide…[Read more]

Oh ok I was a bit confused, thanks!

Thanks Nat! This is very helpful. The cover saves rule sounds interesting.

Aidan replied to the topic V3 NEW platoon composition! Edit: and discussion apparently in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 10 months ago
Nat,
1250 as the new default is interesting. I used the v2 points system to make a few v3 platoons, and I noticed that you can typically throw together two well equipped platoons with all the toys, or 3 minimum sized platoons. (all this changes depending on if you brought expensive armor or not)
I am wondering if the new points change will mean…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic V3 NEW platoon composition! Edit: and discussion apparently in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 11 months ago
Also the other things to consider
1) default game size (example lists & play test point) as confirmed by marcion the juggernauts podcast this week) is 1250
2) (as said by the author in April in the release article) there’s wide scale re-pointing and rule changes
Marcus also said so use v2 rules and points to see what a v3 list will look…

” Yeah, Steve, a lone tank is an oddity. We’ve just been allowed to do it for so long and now we’re all getting our lollipops taken away like naughty children.” Well I guess that’s one way to put it lol. Although a historical oddity, having one tank was nice, especially if you were building your list around an expensive one.
Yeah I never tho…[Read more]

Wilber Olive replied to the topic V3 NEW platoon composition! Edit: and discussion apparently in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 11 months ago
I do agree with Nat that this new platoon structure does make it feel more historical, which I like. Definitely not complaining at all, just pointing out some interesting things for discussion.
Yes, well maybe mounted stuff must be fielded in the Recce platoon, which would make it more useful. I’m actually hoping that the rules contain unique…[Read more]

Not sure if there is demand for an Asian wargaming market, but Three Kingdoms Han Chinese and Sengoku Jidai would be kinda cool.

Aidan replied to the topic V3 NEW platoon composition! Edit: and discussion apparently in the forum Bolt Action 1 year, 11 months ago
Wilber,
1. Yeah at first I thought that the recce platoon doesn’t look worth it. But maybe it will have some sort of special rule, like being able to outflank without penalty, spot hidden units easier, forward deployment etc. If not, then it definitely is the weakest of the bunch.
2. Yeah that is strange. Although I have never heard of someone…[Read more]
