So the panzer III reverses at best possible speed backwards towards the closest board edge

This would be advance speed halved – or 4.5″ as its a reverse.

It being a tank will run over any standard obstacles like a hedge,  if it reaches something it cant go over (a building for example) it will make a pivot of up to 90deg in the direction that…[Read more]

the wording is a bit ???? and needs cross referencing other parts of the rulebook and checking the errata/FAQ… (and I dont have a rulebook near me at the moment to give page numbers !)

but the meaning is IF you get a failed order check (with visable enemy in your front arc) / FURBAR runaway result you must move towards the closest board edge at…[Read more]

1 ) the order die of a crewless gun is placed on the model – pg 126, 2nd paragraph ‘damage on artillery units’
2) the bit about order die being returned to the bag as normal on pg 127 is the die from the now recrewed gun!
3) unmanned guns are auto destroyed by enemy units moving to within 1″ – pg 126
3b) if no potential crew are on the table then…[Read more]

They are artillery guns.  Therefore they are covered by the Core Rules coverning artillery.

They would need explict exceptions to be able to advance and shoot.

option A: go to osprey website… when the become available when the book is released

option B: wait 3-6 months when it might become available in the warlord store.

Even if You’re not fluent in German Rohwer / Hümmelchen  Chronik des Seekrieges  1939 – 45 is a great source.  Giving OOB for nearly all small channel actions. (And more all over the world)

There are also internet day by day chronicles like that.

Dont thing theres anything surface level… possibly an osprey book like “Churchill’s Channel War” or drachinifel / IO might be able to point you in a better direction

Apart from that maybe check out  YouTube, or you have to go deep diving in to Operations by Name /Location,  Unit history, work back from shipping losses that sort of thing.

Fair… BUT I dont think WL make the plastics in-house, they do all the metal & resin models!

probably NOT the place to ask .. the official forum for 3rd party stuff …. doesnt help companies spend money keeping forums open!

I’d head over to Facebook or Discord and see if anyone has any spare…

Short answer – by RAW (rules as Written… NO!)

Long answer – If you can justify it any then any non heavy tank can be taken, however the way the PDF is written transports & Tows are a subsection of Vehicles and the specific – only common vehicles can be taken – overrides the generic ..anything not 9+ or worse can be taken.

there’s pictures of…[Read more]

I can think of multiple reasons…

One is actually the same reason as most companies have removed their forums – GDPR and other privacy laws – you want the articles to be open to every one and easily read which means you either have to allow anonymous posting (BAD IDEA!) or you have to put vairious measures in place.

Another is you want an up…[Read more]

The following two points are essential for understanding Bolt Action:
1) Bolt Action isnt a historical simulation game – its a game of the film /comic of history – this is true of ALL Warlords games.
2) All the stats are homogenised to give a feel rather than accuracy, and to make the game easier to play.

Also.. .v3 is just tweaks of earlier…[Read more]

My friends and I use historical settings  and judge the quality of the gaming by comparing original outcome with the game ones.

So if in our AMC Komet breakthrough games Komet survives its a German win. If it is lost its a British, even if all RN vessels are lost.

… official points dont include speed!  which since day one has cause ????

But yeah … its an issue, CS (and lets be honest most of WL games) points are there for approximation rather than fine balance.  Most of their games are written as a framework for players to tweak and alter to fit their own club games.  Cruel Seas is especially wr…[Read more]

So latest FAQ says that if a common transport vehicle isnt included in the Armies book can be taken from the rulebook

FYI, the AoG errata & FAQ is up..

next sat – 15th.

pre-orders are still live till friday 14th as per warlords newletter yesterday (1oth)

Theres a couple of pdfs in the offical FB group for black seas – One of the various pirates, Dutch and Royalist French & one British East India company

might be a couple more.

It’ll be here… on the FAQ /Errata page

https: // warlord-community. warlordgames. com/bolt-action-third-edition-digital-resources/

(take the spaces out of the link for it to work)

Word in the FB groups is that WL have gone ‘oops, missed that… they’ll be added in the errata…’

keep an eye on the downloads page for when it is released, (or the WarLord list builder app which is updated with WLs offical errata) … its got a few entries due that i’m aware of

Until then I’d use the same costs as the get-you-by list in the…[Read more]
