I believe the turret gives a tank 360° arc of fire, with no penalties. As for MGs, I do not think they give 2 pins.

I’ve been playing that turreted vehicles do not get a -1 to hit for just rotating turrets and shooting(i.e. they’ve been given a Fire, not an Advance). Is this right?
I’ve seen videos where -1 was applied.
Not very related but I’ve seen videos where people apply 2 pins to a unit hit by an MG. But I cannot find a reference to it. Assuming a house…[Read more]

I am guessing the door hinges are on the left of the door (when you are outside the truck looking straight at the driver’s door), and not on the right where they usually are. So the door swings open “clockwise” and not the usual anti-clockwise.

Guessing they use a device where the wheel holder is on a hinge, as with modern external wheel carriers.
Only other thing I can think of is that it might server as extra protection for the driver, who can always get out the passenger side?

This may have been raised before. I was looking through the Tank War book and came across this Commander ability:
Eagle Eye: Play when this vehicle is nominated as a target of a
ranged attack or assault. If this vehicle has LOS (line of sight) to
the attacker, it may react by shooting at the attacker with any one weapon that has LOS to the…[Read more] -

From Kaiser’s time to modern Bundeswehr all German soldiers are fit, well shaped and motivated super soldiers.

I don’t think the 6lb guns can be rifled as this is the War of the Spanish Succession. Rifled artillery, from what I have read, were not invented until the 1840’s.

The 3 pdrs are probably better as battalion guns with the 6 pounders being light field guns (BP2 calls them horse artillery). Having said that I play 15mm and increase all artillery ranges by 25%.

Hello
My scenario calls for 3 lb and 6 lb cannon. Are those light smoothbore artillery or smoothbore artillery? Please advise.

Each platoon must have a junior field officer (lieutant) and can have a senior field officer (captain or Major)…. yes this means you could have 2 majors in 2 platoons…. :
Its only the characters who are limited to 1 per army (and they are all in the top secret call out boxes and are opponents consent)

SteveT started the topic HQ unique? in the forum Bolt Action 6 years, 3 months ago
Hello all,
If I have a large force with say 2 platoons, can I but stuff in the HQ part of the army twice over?
e.g.If I have 3 platoons could I have, in theory, a medic in each?
Or is the HQ considered as being once per army?
Cheers
