I’ll counter that with where does it say you can have more than 1 unit per floor?

Its a permissive rule set, that states you need to have a 1″ gap between friendly units… bering in mind that page 115 allows transports to have more than 1 unit embarked and so gives us a pass on the 1″ gap rule.

So the rules say you need to have a gap between…[Read more]

@paul – on Preparatory Bombarment.  There is nothing in the rules about using a template so its just 1 hit. (the rules only talk about 2 man units taking 50% casualties but not biger units, so yeah 1 hit is just that 1 person getting hit)

To be honest my Japanese arent even made yet!

I’m just wanting to make sure I have the rules staight in my head…. and knowing me at one point I will roll multiple hits with mortarts in one go! (they’ll then fail to do anything for the rest of the game……)

:p

yeah you declare down as a reaction, when the to-hit die has been rolled its to late to make a reaction.

The only exception to this is IIRC is prelimary bombardment when you get to decleare your going down after the roll to see if the unit is hit but before the template is placed….

The crux of the question is then, do the mortars count as separte units when firing?

Because the rules are clear, you only take PINs once per firing unit – at the highest no. available ie 2 flamerthrowers is only +3 PINS not +6

actually, the points per unit, which is fully explained at the beginning of the appendix on page 80, is where…[Read more]

for what its worth …some of the FAQ /Errata has been rolled in to the Bolt Action FAQ (free on the warlord store)….

However its also worth noting that Tank War is a Bolt Action V1 suplement so has a number of rules ….mishmashs shall we call them…. where the core rules have been changed.

Kamikaze planes – 35 points for an inexperienced pilot with 1 bomb

would I be right in thinking that I need to fly over the target then hope that the defender doesnt get a single 6 (as 1 forces a disengage) … after that I’ll need to get a 4 or less to actually HIT!
