Germans need to be armed with more SMGs and LMGs to be able to succeed in Urban Warfare.

The new mixed bag will be taking like an aa gun with an at gun, and other similar options

Fortunately, I play Italians and so my M14/41 with twin hull MMGs and my two light howitzers, Breda 20mm and Pak38, my two light mortars, and so on are eagerly awaiting V3s changes. Not to mention the possibility of running five CV35 tankettes in an armored platoon--twin MMGs, HMG, flamethrower...all kinds of fun possibilities. Thanks for overanalyzing everything we've seen so far!

I have been waiting for this for 2 weeks. Thank you gents!

Good content!

Great review 👏

Hope Hungary os still around

thanks great video, my first model here and i was hoping to learn how to do basecoat but you did not cover that. The rest of video is awesome. 😁

Lmao its bAnzai guys. Bonsai is a small tree

Panzer 2s are decent for the price and they actually were a unit that was produced in numbers.

May be too late to be asking questions but, why is your 2nd Lt carrying what appears to be three two handed weapons? Didn't think that was legal but I am new to this. It does appear you are chewing up points and it's not like he can fire all three in one turn.

Great video!

How come every time I get a name drop in these it's for being in a team that gets bombed by our rookie pilot every turn, or being the only guy that gets beaten by an army of nuns!?!? : )

The 222 has been FAQ'd to be closed topped

Pour these fellas a stiff drink and light a Cuban!

I think the question in the title is answered now.

Why i airbrush...3 layer colour with all tamiya enamel paint mix with enamel thinner x-20..then coat with tamiya -35 semi gloss clear mix with arcylic thinner x-20A...then the surface dry & harsh...pls help me...

I totally disagree on the scenario generators. With the rise of solo play in the last few years cross the various wargaming/ttrpg/boardgaming hobby since COVID randomizer tables a high in the minds of many designers based on the designs that are releasing. .: I expect these are an include to meet all needs for random scenarios.

You ever need someone to assist with these reports pls don't be shy. Happy to help making these

I love those post event reports. Great work

They should go the mantic companion route to generate income. Make an excellent army builder that you subscribe to, and add STL files as an option. One of the main reasons I play Kings of War is the Army Builder.

i wish Warlord can do something like Warhammer for example "US Airborne Codex" then you have their named divisions and heroes like 101st Airborn or 82nd Airborne and have special rules for the units and able to take allied or support units like an Armoured platoon etc etc. Having special rules for Allies, Nation, Outfits and their Divisions will give so much depth in list building and how things are played. You get a lot more personal touch to the game itself. Imagine having a unique special rule as the Allies where you get some bonuses, and as for US where you dont get penalty for firing and movement PLUS for being airborne unit you get to deep strike plus for being in the 101st airborne you get not only stubborn but get to reroll morale checks, and then for having heroic characters like Major Winters you get upgraded to better order tests. I mean that will make the game so much better to me.

i want konflict '57 bolt action cold war goes hot.... tired of using k47.. dumb zombies and werewolves... give us the wonder weapons of ww2 in 1950s... wire guided missiles, night vision, and retro history.. laser guns, needlers (flettchette rifles), and gyrojet guns

They should update K47 to be fully integrable with 3e Bolt Action, things like the same guns having different ranges is silly for 2 games with the same models from the same company, I knew about BA for years before I even heard of K47 and it's awesome, but nobody seems to play it. I like the whole dieselpunk vibe it's got going for it in particular.

When are they going to finally make Chinese Nationalists(KMT) models?

Thanks, great video. The chipping part was good.

Great show

Can the Germans finally get an Army special rule that is worth a Damn !!

I can't see any of your episodes on Google. Last one uploaded. Was Jan 30th?

I think my list would have to be.. 1. A cleaerly written rule book with index 2. Pins on a target unit when charging them in combat should make a difference 3. Officers should be able to do more (have several ordsr type2s possible not just 'Snap To') 4. Get rid of free units. Should be a themed/ flavoured list to choose from and players then choose units, but if going at an infantry army (like soviets) then they get a points reduction for those units 5. Lots of tweaks to weapons obviously like MGs used by infantry (dump loader rules, can split fire if have an MG and LMG cause D2 pins, MMG cause D3 pins), i think snipers would hit on a 2+ but going Down should make a difference, air observer rukes change, etc stc this is potentially rhe longest list of tweaks 6. Over view/ redone on army ruies 7. Scenarios review/ rewrite 8. I think Crossfire and flanking rules are needed, as well as minus/ penalties for units being. Make it a bit more historical that way. 9. Even out having big vs small units for pins. So a unit that receives as many hits from shooting as there are models in the unit cause an extra pin in additon to the one caused for hitting it in the first place. This would even up big squads against several smaller ones i think and make them viable again. 10. Some form of falling back or running away a bit. I like the cut and dry approach of BA but there's times when a unit falling back feels right/ better than just being removed

IMO, it's really a miss opportunity to put the D10 in the game. I know many still want the D6 to remain but a D10 mechanic give so much more flexibility. Every player of Gate of Antares that played Bolt Action are telling me that they would really like the same mechanics in BA. At least, I hope they will give maybe a second activation (without movement) for vehicle like tank and change the open top rule to something more logical. Like troop inside a armoured vehicle should not get pinned unless they get ''out'' of that vehicle in the same turn that they get fired on. Or maybe the pin should only affect the operator of the MMG on top of it and not the driver. He is in a ''armoured vehicle'', he know that low caliber bullet won't pass the armour of is vehicle. That rule is really pissing me up :P

All I care about is that they don't Efff up the system I like and enjoy Bolt Action and have many armies for it, I also had many armies for 40K and have sold them off because those rules were stuffed up too often

Do you think that we'll be getting new models and an updated version of the existing ones?

Having points values costing the ability to cause pins would be nice. I see a popularity for scenario generators for casual games. Updating the Soviet army book from V1 would also be nice. More useful smoke would be nice. I agree with Gorcin about templates ... yeah beaten zones. Overwatch!

Excellent assessment of WLGs release. I too read that the platoon selector will be more of a menu as opposed to a one mortar/one MMG/one artillery piece…. Something more like the juggernaut format or Chain of Command idea. Thus if you want to spend your points on three medium mortars, fill your boots. That would break up the cookie cutter armies and make for a more dramatic game.

I hope the new list building system will have diffrent special rules, rather than the normal army special rules. I play an elite Soviet shock army in Berlin. Having a free 12 man inexperienced rifle squad and a commissar in my list is just stupid. It doesnt fit the theme, nor is it historical.

Super excited for V3, more so than TOW, will hopefully be back to posting and gaming in Perth soon. All I want is some tightening of the rules, less auto include units, more consideration for AT guns, MMG, HMG’s and squad based LMG. Would be nice to see the National characteristics get a rework to be more accurate and balanced….

I hope the 3rd edition starter set is Eastern Front containing a new early war German infantry kit and a new Soviet infantry kit.

really sad they left templates in... just write the rule that says HE hits max out at the number of models in a unit, its really that easy

@warlordgames Showing everyone that they're the nicest kids in town - all new purchases of Starter Sets between now and September, will get a free A5 copy of V3 when V3 comes around: "These products contain a leaflet with a single-use, unique code - make sure you don't lose it! This code entitles you to a FREE A5 copy of the upcoming Bolt Action: Third Edition rulebook, and can be redeemed at the checkout on our webstore once pre-orders for Bolt Action: Third Edition begin in July 2024. Please be aware that normal shipping costs will apply when using your code."

I would like them to print cards for each faction army (like those vehicles get in the box) with references on them to the specific rules and the period they operated in. But infantry as well so it’s easier to learn and less rulebook flicking.

So I suspect launch will have a new starter 2 player set for 3rd edition…

Possibly a bit out of left field but I'd like to see anti tank guns get a nudge. I'm old to platoon level WW2 but new to BA, I've noticed the ubiquitous German pak 38/40, allied 37mm/57mm/6 pdr, etc, are completely absent from the meta. - their bracket in the selectors dominated by howitzers. I dig the models as centrepiece units for an army..

You’ve nearly slap chopped it. If you added some contrast or speed paint…. 😊

You moved too far on first move. Both of you needed to add 6” to make 4’ into 3’😢

Flamers in an engineer unit with the upgrade so they cannot be targeted.

05:00 Why not take the SS Lieutenant inexperienced for 30p and than take one SS Squad that you have to take with him. HAve you seen Bo Mortensens Bolt Aciton Channel YET? 12:06 Howling Cow Brother!

Wow, Bill Paxton plays Bolt Action?!?! Awesome! Great vid, we have about 4 or 5 Japanese players now, much of this is very applicable, great job!

For me Trucks and the American Dodges are primarily a mobile MMG platform, I usually have 2 to 4 in each list. Their secondary role is as a transport. As such if they get bunched up they, with the support of 3 or 4 other units, can overload and pin out enemy units by the second, maybe 3rd turn, especially open-topped vehicles (my favourite) Bo reviewed my army lists and didn't realise why I had so many trucks, I forgot to mention it in my email to him, and as a skirmish style player it suits my grind forward and shoot as you go style of play. I rarely use the rush strategy, although I have done it to great effect in several games. Love trucks, and even late war and Germans I don't use armour and have everything soft skins, Fausts and using the FlaK Zwilling 38 (double heavy autocannon) plus a truck with H auto on too. Mixed with small squads, a 36pts Kublewagon Regular, Inexperienced medium mortar and the Regular LMG team for 35pts, I've been winning game after game. Bit sweaty to be fair, but competitively things are working for me. And live my Snap-to for dishing out pins pr getting a few squads put of trouble in one go. Oh, and have the 2 extra guys with the officer ❤

Thanks guys. Getting into BA…anywhere good besides TH-cam and Facebook to see discussion on list building?
