I dont have battle for france or battle of the bulge.. the 2 campaign books I have dont classify RGA as either small are OR Heavy weapon…

yes you pick which use your aircraft have before deployment.. so 2 scouts & 2 spotting.

During deployment, after scouting points have been spent you assign a spotter plan to an enemy ship.  The spotter stays with that ship for the duration of the game or the assigned ship is sunk.*  This then enables you to select that ship as a target for Over H…[Read more]

Reading rules, it does not matter if it is fired from a light weapon (and to be precise it is not a light weapon, but a special light weapon, beacuse it is a rifle with RIFLE GRENADE ADAPTOR attached) but the weapon used and its rule is the rifle grenade (see battle for france or battle of the bulge), which is a heavy weapon. Like the hand grenade…[Read more]

In building rules are clear, one unit per floor. If building is big then you can divide floor in section and put one unit per section.

From vehicles chapter
“…We don’t allow tanks or other vehicles to move through friends, or to be moved through by friends.
Vehicles must negotiate their way around friends whether they are infantry, artillery or other vehicles.
Vehicles must normally stay more than 1” from enemy units, as per the general 1” gap rule…”

To me as always reule…[Read more]

If you check page 69 of the German Army book 2nd Ed, the 233 is a variant for the 231. Hence it should be available wherever you can select a 231.

I’m waiting till feb…so I’ve got the full rulebook in my hands and had a read through it (or 3!) before doing any quick refs or spreadsheets..

BattleScribe has the released ships in it…(it’s a bit convoluted to get the stats to print…select a ship, select a name then a refit year)

With DAK Motorbicycle units are a must.  And naturally no German horse there, not like in Europe. There more cavalry served than Kradschützen.

In fact the heavy German BMW and Zündap are great, even 2020 – On streets. Pure fun to drive, or in sidecar.  But even in European countryside not nice to move away from street. In Africa’s dunes it was…[Read more]

That’s a great looking force, George.  Well done for getting it finished.  Look forward to seeing the Dutch completed to face off against them!

Hi Bolebg.  I will have a go at answering your questions.

a. Table size. Given the choice I would go for 8’ x 6’.  6’ x 4’ is ok, but perhaps better for smaller battles.

b. On a 6’ x 4’ I would go for something like 8-16 units per side on the assumption that your units are around 6” wide.  On 8’ x 6’ you can go for a much larger number of uni…[Read more]

Hi James,  looking in the Shieldwall supplement, Vikings can have some ‘Thrall’ Javelin armed skirmishers in small units which have the same stats. as just about everyone else’s javelin skirmishers.

I just saw this in Bolt Action 2nd Ed page 57:

TROOPS, SOFT-SKINNED AND ARMOURED TARGETS (last paragraph)

Small-arms and light automatic weapons such as rifles, submachine guns and light or medium machine guns don’t add a bonus to damage. This means it is it is impossible to score more than 6 when rolling to damage using these weapons.

I t…[Read more]

it doesnt state that small arms cant generate more than 1 pin or have a PEN value, the rule book only states that heavy weapons do and so implies that small arms cant..

Pin markers (Page 39)

Every time a unit is fired at by an enemy unit and suffers one or more hits as a result, place a single pin marker next to it.

Small arms weapons follow…[Read more]

@Cameron – hi there… you might want to have a look at the campaign book ‘Germany strikes’ it was (like a lot of them) written for v1 of Bolt Action but does contain a Danish army list…..

I’m hoping for just about every card they’ve already released to be corrected with the rules in the main rule book…..

or at least give us the points to ‘refit’ the destroyers in to carrying depth charges…. (and look, we’re back to asking about proof reading! :p)

sorry thought I had 🙁 … I’ve now uploaded v1.2

Sorry thought I’d posted this already… its version 1.2

it doesnt state that small arms cant generate more than 1 pin or have a PEN value, the rule book only states that heavy weapons do and so implies that small arms cant..

However there is more in favour of them being a heavy weapon than not*… so I’m going to leave it here and wait to see if an offical answer is ever made :p.. and be very suprised…[Read more]
