  • Hi all,

    As we’re waiting for the full rulebook to be released, those of us on the facebook group the (Victory at Sea Wardroom) have put together an FAQ with some of the answers comming from the design studio and others from the original Author.

    Whilst its unoffical as we’re not Warlord staff we hope that it helps!

    Thanks to Craig the webmaster…[Read more]

  • Just to add:

    Is it like a tank with multiple weapons where, although all the quads have to be declared at the same target, you roll each weapon individually?

     

    Bolt Action rules 2nd Edition page 106:

    When you fire one of these weapons, you roll a number of dice equal to the shots fired by each weapon, multiplied by the number of weapons. For…[Read more]

  • 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]

  • 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 6 years 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?

    Cool! sounds good, can’t wait for it to get done.

     

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

  • thats not a bad shout sir

    it is indeed what i shall do

    cheers for the idea

    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.

  • 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]

  • 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” …

    Since the forum has been edited, I often have trouble posting.
    If the post contains a link, or if I quote from another post the name of the author of the cited post appears as a link, then the post disappears and is not published.

    “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…

  • 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!
