Fred Brannan started the topic Cheeseball victory for 'Top Secret'. in the forum Bolt Action

Wed, 27 Apr 2022 23:01:29 +0100

I recently painted up some Americans to include rangers and I ended up spit-balling a possible situation. Deployment for Top Secret like many scenarios is at least 12 inches from the centerline of the table. Rangers get a 12 inch move under “Rangers lead the way” before starting turn one. Assuming the objective counter to be an inch or so in…[Read more]

Fred Brannan started the topic US paras paint colors in the forum Bolt Action

I’m trying to match the color for US paras in Normandy-the ones with the light green uniform and the darker green elbow and knee patches. Everything I find is either too brown or too dark of a green. What would any of you care to recommend? Other than, you know, saying ‘screw it’ and switching over to Japs.

Not having the appropriate campaign book I need to know if the aforementioned weapon system is available for any reinforced platoon or only in limited cases?

Fred Brannan started the topic anti-tank suicide bombers/close assault. in the forum Bolt Action

Mon, 15 Mar 2021 15:06:05 +0000

So, this came up in a game…A Japanese suicide bomber charged a transport with passengers. The army list book says the bomber moves into contact and assaults the vehicle. Passengers in a transport (one unit, owners choice) dismount to fight the close combat. However, the suicide bomber doesn’t have the ability to assault foot troops. Do you fight…[Read more]

What sort of rules are there (Warlord or home-grown) covering use of the Panzernest?

Fred Brannan started the topic partisan command vehicles in the forum Bolt Action

If partisans choose an sdkfz250/11 as their AC option do they get to use the apparently inherent ‘command vehicle’ bonus?

Fred Brannan started the topic HE recce 'escape' reaction in the forum Bolt Action

Mon, 08 Feb 2021 20:21:54 +0000

So, page 119 of the 2nd edition says that recce vehicles may wait until a hit is scored before deciding to escape/recce “…just like a unit deciding to go down when hit by HE”. But that is clearly not the case. Units declare ‘down’ or not before the firing player makes a ‘to hit’ roll. By this reading a Greyhound AC declares to recce before shot…[Read more]

Fred Brannan started the topic Loss of squad leader in the forum Bolt Action

Mon, 11 May 2020 02:23:09 +0100

When a squad loses its leader they suffer a minus one to their morale. Easy enough, they take a penalty to morale/orders tests. However, if a regular squad loses its leader does it now shoot as inexperienced with attendant -1 penalty to their shooting?
