Nat replied to the topic HE Pen and damage to units in buildings. in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago
Buildings – they give the extra protection rule which makes them safer as it effectviely negates +1 PEN – NOTE this rule states modified as useual so tells you the PEN modifiers are used.
Medics – key point there’s a German DDay Theater List that gives MMGs +1 PEN against infantry… they’d still save those hits (well possibly :p)

Nat replied to the topic Spotter and Transports in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago
Ok, one question is… Do you mean the Spotter, as in the artillery /mortar unit upgrade? Or are you meaning the Forward Artillery Observer, the HQ unit? – I mention this because I see a lot of people confusing the two game terms with real world terminology and therefore using spotter when talking about the FAO!
However…..
If you mean the a…[Read more] -
Nat replied to the topic Timing of Artillery Declaring a Target and choosing indirect fire in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 1 month ago
basically the timing is:
you pull the order die and decide the gun is going to fire
you pick what and how you are going to fire ie HE or AP, indirect or direct
opponent decides to go down or not
you measure range
you roll the dice.* (including to see if hit by the FAOs artillery strike) -

Nat replied to the topic Battle of Britain Starter in the forum Blood Red Skies 3 years, 2 months ago
The battle of britian starter box went out of production a couple of years ago unfortunatly and was (Eventually) replaced with the Battle of Miday box, there was a direct ‘battle of britian bundel’ which is something different.
But yeah this is one of those games that doesnt actually NEED a starter box to get started in with….all you need is…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic General doubts in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 2 months ago
What can I say….I like the game, but feel its let down in part by the rulebook. I mean some parts of the rulebook could do with being tidied up as the references they need to make sense are missing. Or the rules have been changed and theres still references to those rules in the book (most noticably in the stats section with refits about DC r…[Read more]

Fighters can attack MTBs which is why they have an entry in the hit chart…. any thing bigger is too heavily armoured for their calibre ammo to do seriouse harm to.

Nat replied to the topic General doubts in the forum Victory At Sea 3 years, 2 months ago
Only during the gunnery phase.
Reason- moving in to base contact is just moving in to range and not maneouvering over the ship there for the local X trait trigger doesnt activate.
Note its only Local X that triggers during the movement phase not the AA battery itself. ie a ship with AA battery 3 + local 2 will use 2 AD against every flight…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Need New Project Idea in the forum General Discussion 3 years, 3 months ago
Hi Pat,
this sort of question will get noticed and more answers in the Historical /Bolt Action sub forum…
However, Paras are a valid sub faction army.. in fact they make a great core of a force then you can just swap out what supports you give them (ie jeeps, tanks, transports etc) to change up how they play

TBH the move and fire ability of Manhandling guns is the only reason to use it!…. so never on horse artillery
Also any heavy /seige artillery cant be manhandled.

Nat replied to the topic Firing from Building in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 3 months ago
1 – yes, 2 from each openeing
1b – I’ll need to double check… but I think normal targeting rules apply … ie doesnt matter which side of the building you are looking out of, but you have to all target the same thing unless you have a 1 shot (or limited shot) weapon – or Indirect, but thats a different issue :p2 – short answer is HE ignores…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic color of Japanese bicycles? in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
Key point here – “Japanese were particularly known for their use of bicycles (generally stolen from the local population) of which the campaign in Malaya in 1942 is perhaps the best example.”
They werent gernerally issued, but stolen … so any dark colour or hastly re-painted with tank /truck paint /mud etc would work…. I’d go for a mix of…[Read more]

Nat replied to the topic Where to use Guards infantry selection in the forum Bolt Action 3 years, 4 months ago
Just a quick point… Easy Army is a 3rd party tool – made and maintained by ONE guy… if you email him he’ll sort out any list issues.
However to answer your question.. when a new unit is said to be added to an existing selector it should go in both the compulsary & optional squad choices unless stated otherwise (normally by saying 0-x can be…[Read more]
