    No because thats two separte orders…. 1 is a charge & the other is a move

  • They should be treated as in separate buildings, so they get hard cover. You imagine the units are hiding behind furniture, cupboards etc.  You can also agree with your opponent that such cover are soft cover if you want.

    All models that can draw line of sight to the target unit can fire. So as long as they can see each other, all models should…[Read more]

  • Stalingrad book page 163:

    BUILDINGS WITH MULTIPLE FLOORS/SECTIONS
    In the Bolt Action rulebook, buildings which suffer 10 or more hits from HE are destroyed completely and turned into rubble (HE Weapons Against Buildings, page 124). These rules were largely envisioned to be applied to small buildings, such as single-family residences. However,…[Read more]

  • Hi Mark – I think the MacColla option here simply provides an additional unit for the 90 points cost as well as the commander himself. So, if you take MacColla as a commander you also get a ‘free’ small unit of bodyguard. MacColla still follow the same rules for Generals and Commanders on pages 84 and 85, including joining units, and vul…[Read more]

    Transports and Tows
    0–1 Transport or tow vehicle per infantry or artillery unit in the Reinforced Platoon from: Truck, Half-track truck, Komsomolets artillery tractor, Gaz jeep, Lend-Lease M3 Scout Car, Lend-Lease Universal Carrier

    I actually missed the distinction between armoured car and transport in the S…[Read more]

  • Hi Frank,

     

    I’ve put the wardroom FAQ up in its own thread which covers a number of questions… but I’ll stress most are unoffical!!!

    However to answer what you’ve asked

    Tough – yes local 1 = impossible to shoot down a tough plane… however DP guns can! (the FAQ has a complete breakdown of how AA works)

    Carrier points – yes at the moment..…[Read more]

  • Ah I see you mean for all the 3 MGs to have 360° arc of fire. I am guessing it will make the M3 too powerful with all 3 MGs firing simultaneously in the same arc, so currently only the 2 added MMGs can fire at the same target in the rear arc. It might also conflict with the platform mounted rules which allow a 360° firing arc as the 3 MGs are n…[Read more]

  • Ah yes, missed that, thanks for straightening it out.

  • Latest FAQ:

    If I shoot at a unit of artillery that has only one or two crew models
    left, does the ‘small team’ to-hit modifier apply or not?

    The small team rule applies to units made of one or two infantry models (implying ‘and nothing else’, which should have been stated clearly). So, so as long as there is also a gun model, that unit is not…[Read more]

  • Nat replied to the topic Russian light Pak crew in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 4 months ago

    Didnt think artillery could counted as a small team?

    but like Master Cheif I hadnt noticed the cost differene…. I dont own any of the small AT guns, prefer to take Zis3s for my artillery

  • Good point, I play Soviets as well but never noticed that as I am not a fan of anti-tank guns, prefering to pay more points for tanks instead. I just checked the FAQ and did not see any errata, so they are 2-man teams, benefiting from the “small team” added bonus when target by enemies.

  • @Master Chief – the M3 Scout car has the option of taking 4 pintel mount HMGs with have limited fire acrs in game … off top of my head front + left, front + right, rear + left, rear + right

    @Thomas – the HMGs are on the corners of the transport area and whilst theoritically alble to fire accross the loading bay its not that practicle

     

  • Bolt Action 2nd Edtion page 114:

    Transport vehicles have a minimal crew, so they can only fire one of the weapons they are equipped with. If they are equipped with more than one weapon, these can be fired only if the vehicle is carrying/towing a unit whose members act as weapon crew – each weapon being fired needs one man to operate it. If the v…[Read more]

  • Master Chief replied to the topic Panzernest in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 4 months ago

    I think they are similar to pillboxes, except they are made of metal and can be moved manually using horsedrawn carriages, so I guess the “closest official” rules are Bolt Action rules 2nd Edition page 127:

    BUNKERS
    The following rules cover bunkers, pillboxes and all other reinforced buildings specifically designed to protect soldiers from enemy…[Read more]

  • Carsten replied to the topic Panzernest in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 4 months ago

    Thanks for the detailed answer.

    I have to say, i find it a bit unfortunate, that Warlord games sells a unit (specially in the deluxe box from “The longest day”) without having any rules, any army lists or any scenarios where i can use them.

     

    But again, thanks for the answer,

    Carsten

  • Haha I think I know which manufacturer you are referring to 😂 I am eagerly waiting for their twin bazooka armoured Willys jeep kit (need to get it with their new re-released Willys jeep), although I have already “kit-bashed” 2 using the Warlord Armoured jeep and 4 spare bazookas from my US weapons sprues.

    I will order the new kits together with…[Read more]

  • The change in currancy acceptance and the related exchange rate may not be warlord, but rather the bank that provides the payment portal..

    I think it is not. I used to see the prices displayed in £, and when I pay with my credit card or Paypal, my credit card bank or Paypal does the exchange rate conversion, and charges a fee.

    Now I see prices di…[Read more]

    The change in currancy acceptance and the related exchange rate may not be warlord, but rather the bank that provides the payment portal..

    espically as its now been updated to accept applepay & googlepay

     

    I stress may.. .because I dont know which system they use to provide the payment portal

  • @enioch – so you agree with my reading.. thats good!

     

    @d.giessmann – the Val & Kate are in the main rulebook from what I hear 🙂 …theres over 40 pages per nation!… most of the mongoose v2 beta is included…

    also some of the US distributors are putting the Sub & MTB boxes up for pre-order … so hopefully we’ll see them at the same time as…[Read more]
