Bolt Action rules 2nd Edition:

TWO OR MORE WEAPONS
ON THE SAME MOUNT (page 105)

If a mount has several weapons using the HE special rule (you cannot decide that some of these weapons fire armour-piercing and some fire HE, they must all fire the same type of ammunition), roll to hit and then place a number of templates equal to the number of hits…[Read more]

SteveT started the topic Moving to flank from the front in the forum Hail Caesar 5 years, 4 months ago

According to the prolixity rule, if a unit starts in the front of an enemy, they can only go to or away from the unit.

First of all, what does this mean? Can any diagonal movement be include, if so how much?

But if I unit got 3 moves in a turn, uses the first to get out of proximity range, can its other moves be used to get round the flank or…[Read more]

How is this resolved? As one gigantic fight , or separated in any ways?

SteveT started the topic Sideways on—options? in the forum Hail Caesar 5 years, 4 months ago

In the image I have a red formed unit that has ended up facing sideways to the enemy blue unit.

What is it allowed to do in terms of movement?

And similar if the red was changed to open order (right side of same pic) what are its options?

Master Chief replied to the topic scenario 12 p 148 Bolt action rulebook in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 4 months ago

My take is the reserves in this scenario come onto the table anywhere on their side’s long edge.

So i think i have the first edition from the german army book. Maybe the second isnt translated. Hope there are not too many differences.

Nat replied to the topic Generel Rules – clarification and questions in the forum Victory At Sea 5 years, 4 months ago

Games are permissive rule sets… it tells you what you can do.. if it doesnt tell you then you cant do it. Using other games systems as a why cant we is genrally not a good place to start espically when they are written by different people…. that out of the way :p

Now should there be a chance to hit with every shot – No! why….well…[Read more]

Bolt Action 2nd Ed, Scenario 5 (page 138):

VICTORY!
The side that carries the objective marker (a briefcase) off the table before the end of the game wins. Otherwise the result is a draw.

To seize the marker, an infantry unit must advance or run and end its move with one model touching the objective. From the following turn, that model will…[Read more]

Master Chief replied to the topic spotter and holding objectives in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 4 months ago

I just received my Campaign Mariana book from Warlord.

Victory! (page 11 for Beach Landing scenarios)

In addition to the normal Victory Points available, the attacker gains an additional 1 Victory Point if they have any units within 3″ of the opposite table edge at the end of the game.

So the same question arises … does a spotter count as a “unit” …

“I agree with Warlord answer, because spotter can’t fire or assault, excalty like a medic and a chaplain. ”

Steeljackal – the gap in your “exactly” claim is that medics and chaplains ARE non-combatants under the laws of armed conflict, a spotter is not.

The first two aren’t allowed to fire or assault based…

invisible officer replied to the topic spotter and holding objectives in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 4 months ago

That Chaplains are 100 % non combatants is a popular myth. They are officers and allowed personal arms like pistols. Many British or German ones in both World wars fought. Even more doctors did. They too had a pistol. One German one even commanded a tank battalion for some time. Legally!

Only in serving in a hospital or tending a wou…[Read more]

Carsten replied to the topic First game… Questions in the forum Bolt Action 5 years, 4 months ago

thanks very much for the answers. It was a really fun game (but my american mmg was killed in the first round, because the other one throwed to 6s with the damage throw :/)

I think i have an older german army book or there was an error with translating it….

But it helps very much,

Thanks!
