Steiner replied to the topic Buildings and extra protection in the forum Bolt Action 1 week, 1 day ago
I’ve been thinking about how to improve the buildings without the Extra Protection Rule.
The solution would be to have Cover Saves in Direct HE and maybe even in Indirect HE. IMHO, the cover save should be higher than hard cover, maybe a +3 (to simulate the extra protection rule).
What do you guys think?

Ok, I see your point … a big splash could be useful in some specific cases.

Dear Comrades,
I have some questions about autocannons, such as those in the Wirbelwind.
Can they choose whether to use HE or AP (PEN) rounds?
If fire against infantry, it must be HE, right?
What about against vehicles?
What about against infantry inside a building? How do we resolve the whole shooting process? Could somebody provide me with…[Read more]

After many games now, I really miss the extra protection rule.
Is there any possibility of reimplementing this rule in the v3 rulebook in a future errata or a future 3.5v???

Dear Comrades,
If a WW2 tank shot against a truck (soft-skin), it would have used HE and never an AP round because it could go through without even destroying the truck.
On page 97 in the manual, it says that if an AT gun fires against vehicles, including soft-skin, it can choose which one, HE or AP to use. But in the game, it would be a…[Read more]

One question dear mates,
Do the Antitank rifles use the +1 bonus of Antitank Guns when they get a Fire order die?
They also have óptica and kinetic energy. It would make sense they would also benefit in the roll to hit but I cannot find anything in the rulebook.
Thanks

Dear Developers,
I don’t get why the extrapolation rule has been removed in the 3rd Ed. It seems that buildings are useless now.
Can you explain the reason behind this decision?
Thanks

What about a bazooka or a panzerfaust (hollow charges)? Can they shooting against infantry? How would it work?

Flamethrower against open-topped vehicles. Does the open-topped also have the double penalty like with HE? +1 penetration and + 1 Damage chart.
I cannot find in the rulebook if the flamethrower causes this double penalty in open-topped … page?

Thanks Stuart. It’s very clear 👌 I missed the … ‘or less’ part.

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Dear Comrades,</p>
If you get a superficial damage in a vehicle, you roll a D6 with -3. So, if you roll a 3, 2 or 1 you get less than 1. In that case no damage at all, correct?In other words you have a 50% to miss or inflict a real damage.

One new doubt …
A flamethrower can benefit from short distance too? I mean, a flamethrower firing without moving at a distance of 2 inches, is that … ÷3 with modifiers short distance and point blank … a 2+ would correct?

Let see if I get the example right now.
In the set-up. German player deploys a sniper team inside a building on the second floor.
Then in the first turn, the British player deploys a Cromwell tank. The Cromwell tank advances and fires its main gun with HE (2″) and its machine gun to a second floor of a building where a German sniper h…[Read more]

Hello Comrades,
In today’s game, I had problems on how to proceed in this situation.
Please, I understand this better with a practical example.
A medium mortar hits a Bren Carrier transporting 5 infantery soldiers.
What are the steps now to proceed?
The open-topped makes it confusing for me. Do we have to see if there is penetration before…[Read more]
