This is not a criticism of the rule set or of Warlord Games.

I’ve just received my copy of D-Day, the American Sector. From my read through it looks interesting and I’ll be playing with certain elements in my games – although I play the Eastern Front…[Read more]

I think some of those will be suitable?

The only examples I can think of are Roman gladiatorial games or skirmish games with maybe a dozen miniatures a side.

Everything else has a ground scale that is smaller than the miniature scale.

I think I might wait for the American Sector Normandy book to come out before I make any such decisions.

After doing some more research, I’ve found more facts. There’s a fairly well known Char B1 that was captured by the FFI in Paris. It got the Cross of Lorraine and the letters FFI painted very prominently…[Read more]

I’ve repeated it in the Bolt Action sub forum.

after playing as the Germans for quite a while, I was thinking of a change. I’ve always liked the idea of the French Forces of the Interior (the FFI). For the few who haven’t heard of them they were the semi-organised and semi-uniformed partisans who rose up after D-Day. There’s some really great pictures of them, plus film foota…[Read more]

In rural terrain, I’d personally use the weapon scale as the yarstick to measure it by. The 24″ maximum range of a rifle will probably be 400 yards/metres. So a 6 foot x 4 foot board would be 1200 yards/metres by 800 yards/metres. Maybe 1.2km by 0.8km? (3/4 of mile by 1/2 a mile). This isn’t…[Read more]

I’ve currently got a 1:56 model of a Panzer VII Löwe. I’m also about to put in an order for a 1:56 model of an E-50 Standardpanzer, this is…[Read more]

When picking the tanks and other AFVs, include vehicles such as the Stug IIIg with the long 75mm and the others that you feel are missing from the list.

Remember that there are other new units such…[Read more]

I think that the issue came about because we imported into Bolt Action that over-competitive attitude from our games of WH40K. From what everyoe has been saying is that approach just doesn’t really work for Bolt Action.

The historical forces sound good.

I’ll have a think about the inclusion of some of the poorer quality stuff to increase the points available.

I think the idea of a core group with a few different changes might work.

🙂

I’m just preparing to get back to Bolt Action after a year away and I need a bit of help. I play late war German up against late war Soviet.

I hope this isn’t too long and that you bear with me.
