Essentially, planes in Bolt Action always felt too easy to shoot down and too likely to fail to enter when you needed them that most people just don’t take air observers. They can be good, but taking them is always just a gamble that your opponent…[Read more]

I can accept it being a little more restrictive than firing at aircraft, but if I have a set of autocannons literally primed as air defenses, it’s a little…[Read more]

In Bolt Action, the rules clearly indicate that a Rifle Platoon can not take any units with the Engineers rule. Taking such units required an Engineer Platoon. I don’t see any such restriction within the K47 platoon selectors – while the Engineer Platoon is still present, it seems like…[Read more]

It’s especially annoying for me when they’re inconsistent with armaments; two vehicles will have the same gun but it’s visibly much larger on one model because it was designed to emphasize the gunner, at infantry scale. And like you noted, I prefer to assemble all of my tanks with hatches closed…[Read more]

It is, of course, completely correct to note that the forward facing machine gun should be coaxial rather than pintle-mounted, but this is nevertheless a huge nerf to the capability of the vehicle. Being able to shoot both the howitzer and a forward machine gun in the same turn made it very strong for its cost,…[Read more]

I built mine with the bench seats to emphasize its role as a transport vehicle in my army list (which I’ve since removed, since they nerfed it in the errata), but the vehicle can be built with space for them.

I’d like to reiterate I’m not arguing with you about the correct…[Read more]

As for the model itself, the only reason we couldn’t fit 8 men inside would be the discrepancy between infantry and vehicle scale…[Read more]
