L.T. Russell replied to the topic Bolt Action Player Finder (North America) in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Howdy folks! I game with a group at White Knight Games & Hobbies, in Helena, Montana. The Warlord Games gaming group meets every Wednesday evening around 6pm. Games can also be set up for almost any time the store is open, we usually play longer-running games on the weekend….

L.T. Russell replied to the topic What do YOU want to see in Bolt Action v3? in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Howdy again Stuart! My continuing thanks for your patient and informed replies. I agree with your point; “…benefit significantly from being crew served and were employed as light machine guns by their respective armies…”, however I’ll continue to quibble that they’re not much better than having a BAR with a loader, as opposed to being a…[Read more]

Thanks for your reply Nat! I’m gonna run your idea and Hellraiser 7’s by my group. Makes sense to me….

L.T. Russell started the topic British Units and Machineguns in the forum Konflikt '47 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I think the British Automated Infantry are a clever idea….however, while I have no problem with the idea of a 10 foot robot toting around an MMG or HMG and firing it from the hip, why aren’t they suffering a minus for using a crew-served weapon without having a crew and/or a range subtraction for not having the gun on a tripod? Same with the…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic Frau Growler Rules? in the forum Konflikt '47 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Howdy Luke! I imagine you could use the Schreckwulfen rules for Frau Growler’s werewolf….
Hmm, a “Vampress squad”….how about something like; an enemy unit that fails a morale check during an assault is “Enthralled” into close combat with the Vampress unit, INSTEAD of being able to shoot at them. Give them Fast, Tooth and Claw, and St…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic Hauptmann Heinrich Gross in the forum Konflikt '47 6 months, 3 weeks ago
THANKS for your reply, Attention Span Labs! I like the idea of rolling a separate colored die for Hauptmann Gross. I hadn’t thought of that….
Do you see my overall point though; that the Hauptmann Gross unit is expensive, while losing several of the capabilities of of the intrinsic sub units? IMO, the unit is not as well thought out as th…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic 15mm in the forum Konflikt '47 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m with you Herr Oberst. IMO, dropping to 15mm would lose the individual figure’s detail that I find part of the fun of Konflikt 47….

L.T. Russell replied to the topic Are non-unit entries (Commonwealth Rules, Additional Equipment) Tournament Legal in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago
“…the complicated and varied British Commonwealth rules…” They’re referred to as “The Cheaty British” by the group I play Bolt Action/Konflikt 47 with. The folks planning on going to Las Vegas next year have been discussing running “Cheaty British” armies, I believe it’s the Indians? You start with a free squad AND a free artillery ob…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic Do intervening infantry give soft cover to armor? in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I was just playing tonight and I had a Jagdpanzer IV shooting at a halftrack and a Down enemy squad in between gave the halftrack soft cover. It’s an accepted house rule of the more experienced players in our group. I think it’s ridiculous….

L.T. Russell started the topic Hauptmann Heinrich Gross in the forum Konflikt '47 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Has anyone else tried using this unit? I did and to me it’s got major problems. Because it’s 5 men you lose the small unit defense. The sniper can’t forward deploy/set up. Only Hauptmann Gross has Fast, so how exactly does this unit move together? How do you determine if Hauptmann Gross kills an enemy in hand-to-hand combat, if he’s part of t…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic What do YOU want to see in Bolt Action v3? in the forum Bolt Action 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Howdy Stuart! Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner, but I prepared a big, long reply and something went wrong. Either I posted it wrong or it was deleted, but that really bummed me out….
I did some research on the Bren and apparently the 100 round drum was only meant for anti-aircraft fire, using the extended AA sights, because the big d…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic converted Beutepanzer Sherman or t34 equipped with schwerefeld projektor? in the forum Konflikt '47 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I don’t see any reason why not. The WWII Germans are basically famous for using every bit of captured enemy gear they could get their hands on. I’ve picked up some Ursus infantry that I intend to dress and equip as captured by the Germans….

L.T. Russell replied to the topic My personal hope in the forum Konflikt '47 6 months, 3 weeks ago
I’m gonna disagree IndisiciveAmerican75. I think there needs to be differences between the Axis and the Allies. There are not that many Axis units with Fanatics or Horror and the abilities of the US Paragon units and some of the Allied special forces units address some of this….
Perhaps another expansion or K47 2.0 can come up with some v…[Read more]

Howdy y’all! L.T. Russell here, initials not rank. I’m in Helena, Montana, by way of El Paso, Texas, originally from Herndon, Virginia. I’m an old, retired guy. Been gaming since my older cousin was taking me to the Wargaming Club at Indiana University, back in the 70s. The good folks up here at White Knight Games & Hobbies got me back into…[Read more]

L.T. Russell replied to the topic What's you favorite tech infantry ? in the forum Konflikt '47 7 months ago
I play Germans and I’ve always gotta have a squad of Nachtalben. I make sure to add an extra guy or two to the squad to take advantage of Fatherland Resurgent and I load them up with panzerfausts and AT grenades. Their Elite ability can be a game changer and Fast, Behind Enemy Lines, Tough and IR Vision are all useful….

L.T. Russell replied to the topic What do YOU want to see in Bolt Action v3? in the forum Bolt Action 7 months ago
Howdy Stuart! Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I concede mosta your points about Bren vs. BAR. It was Pete Kokalis’ writings that first made me aware of the quick-change barrel on the Bren and the value of the top feed receiver. As a former M60 machinegunner, I will continue to quibble about the sustained firepower of multiple linked bel…[Read more]

Howdy! New to the forums….
IDK if these topics have been addressed already, if so, I apologize.
Shotguns; Last I’ve seen in Bolt Action, shotguns have a range of 18 inches. IMHO, in a system where pistols shoot 6 inches, submachineguns 12 inches, assault rifles 18 inches and rifles 24 inches, this is ludicrous. Military shotguns tend to be…[Read more]
