Another idea is to use second edition building rules, or a combination of third and second edition. They were not all that careful when they went with third edition, and I think that why the building rules got the way they were.

Overall, there are a few good things about the third edition, but the rules team 1) should had carefully read the FAQ…[Read more]

I have played in a tournament where we had 2 order dice of another color added to the dice bag and when both dice were drawn the round ends no matter how many activations are left.

I agree, because “some setups or custom scenarios might not react well to any sort of random ending.” However, this is why I think the other idea works better – using…[Read more]

Don’t read to much into this. Keep it simple. Otherwise you will find another thousand little things that can mix.

1. Page 147 Dismounting from transports – not allowed to use this move to make an assault. Not even for Banzai, so page23 really means that a unit must, if possible, attempt to engage the closest visible enemy unit. Since it cannot,…[Read more]

Main question
When Massive Damage causes two results (in this case double Immobilised → Knocked Out), do the passengers dismount after the first Immobilised result, or only after all Massive Damage results are fully resolved?

For massive damage, we don’t see a lot of doubles of 1, 2, or 3, but I remember clearly a day when we rolled double 3. S…[Read more]

I second what Stuart just said, but I really want to add that I strongly agree that smoke needs to be examined.

And the pictures from their site…

This also might help…

If you do a Google search for “MG34 medium machine gun” you will get lots and lots of hits, and if you select the images option, lots of pictures.

I don’t have any of the new plastic Japanese infantry (not yet), but I have seen the pictures that Warlord Games posted. At first glance, you can quickly see how much more “Heroic Scaling” (puffy-beefy) these newer figures are compared to the original set of plastic Japanese infantry. Which means the arms, bodies, and other bits are probably not…[Read more]

Doesn’t Barrage Miniatures make some?

My Squad of 10 Soldiers does not fit into the ruined Farmhouse. How is that to handle?

It doesn’t matter if cover obscures a few models in the target unit, or  even if some models are completely out of sight; so long as at least 50% of the shooters can clearly draw a line of fire to at least 50% of the target unit, then the target unit is not in…[Read more]

Here was an easy kit-bash I did sometime ago. I had this extra 20mm turret from a Rubicon Models kit, and thought, “Hey, SdKfz234/1”, so a tweaked it to fit my 1:56 scale plastic Puma (SdKfz234/2) kit by Italeri/WG. Yes, nowadays, you can get the Sdkfz 234 and Variants kit from Rubicon Models, and with the 280048 expansion kit, you can also build…[Read more]

Hi David, and welcome to the group. I’m pretty sure you will get a few detailed responses, but let me just give you a few suggestions to get you started.

Have a look at the army lists in the Bolt Action Third Edition rule book. Here you will find some core information about how to organize and equip your infantry squads. For more details and…[Read more]

My friend recently got the new Soviet Army starter set with the new plastic Soviet Infantry. I offered to assemble a few for him, so he gave me a couple of sprues. What this means is that I finally got a good look at the new Soviet Infantry sprue shown below.

Even before assembling, the first thing I notice is how much more “Heroic Scaling”…[Read more]

…26 (points) more than the Americans, for a Panzerschreck (Pen +6).

If given the choice, I would be happy to pay an 26 extra points to change my American veteran bazooka team from Pen +5 to Pen +6.

If I pay the 26 points, can I say my American veteran bazooka team is using a captured German panzerschreck (Pen +6)?  (wink, wink)

I found this interesting and informative…
