Hello friends.
If a British (standard) unit forms a square because there are enemy cavalry nearby, (on its movement turn, and before being charged by that cavalry), it could eventually use the first fire with 2 dice from a front when on the shooting turn does it?
Wouldn’t it be a generous benefit to grant him, once formed in a square, and…[Read more] -

vets get pinned when hit by small arms out side of vehicles… pinning also means troops keeping their head down which your’d do even in a half track…. I see no reason why the experiance of troops should alter if they get pins

If LMGs get cheaper for everyone, how would it affect the Slovak national rules?
The only thing I don’t like about MMGs and HMGs is their ability to get sniped off the table. Maybe have at least a Morale check to convert a loader to a shooter vs death?

I feel like @Nat ‘s ruling would work, but why not just make it the same as an injury roll (3+ for inexperienced, 4+ for regular, 5+ for veteran)? It keeps the percentages similar but feels like less of an edge-case rule. One less thing to remember.
That and make transports give the pin to the guys inside of they’re inexperienced, 4+ to pin…[Read more]

@Nat – I have to agree.

tweak #2 – hmm…. would that count as a different ammo type for when going in to ambush? or is it mandatory?LMGs – as you say… appear a lot… so wouldnt touch at this time

… hmm…. keep the automatic pins for any transported unit, but the vehicles themselves give them a roll to immediately rally (shrug off) the pin. vets 3+, regular 4+, inexperienced 5+
This keeps it roughly the same but you wont see all the transports suddenly become vets to protect the guys inside…..

In Bolt Action, the MMG team is somewhat underwhelming. Sure, they can be useful, but overall, they seem underrated and it seems they can be neutralized far too easily. The debate is what can be done to improve MMG teams. Adding a small benefit to MMG teams might help balance them in the game. It is not new that there is a broad consensus that the…[Read more]

The consensus is that the rules for open-topped vehicles with an armor of 7+ require a simple tweak when shot at by small arms. Of course, being gamers, we all have different ideas on what that should be. That being said, one popular solution is to tweak it for crew experience. Inexperienced open-topped vehicles take pins for being hit by small…[Read more]

1) Says nothing about the defender. Does the defender draw his dices on the first turn as usual?
Yes. That is the default for a turn and there is nothing to suggest a difference in this case.
2) Attacker entering with “advance” can already shoot at units within range?
Yes. Again, shooting at the end of an Advance order is the default and the…[Read more]

Well done for getting the whole Legion done 👍.
I suggest you make the 1st cohort a ‘large’ unit as that will increase its stat line and it will be a suitably tougher unit compared to the other units in the legion.
Good luck fighting those barbarians. 😀
