Reply To: What books for Home Guard British?

[Uther]

“Unfortunately the units in both books cant be used in Generic platoons.”

I’m totally new to Bolt Action, I don’t yet have the rules having just looked at some quirky home guard era models and considering getting into the game.

What does that statement mean?  Is the only way to play those units to play in a Gigant or Sealion “campaign”?  That you can’t play them in regular Bolt Action meet up games?

Some of this, I guess, will depend on the “culture” of my local gaming groups and I’ll be talking to the Bolt Action players about this.  But is there some hard rule thing that would stop me using them?

Thanks so much for your time and your help.
