7 years late but thanks for making this video, super helpful 👋😀
I know this is an older video, but thanks again for doing this 👍
Great review just starting Bolt Action very helpful, thanks for posting.
I need to read through it again to catch all the changes or try. This was a good overview of a lot of them I think.
I haven’t played much BAv2. Your vid is a big help remembering all the changes.
Another Rule I forgot to mention.. Assaults, units do not lose their pins anymore..

Great video! I really appreciate these :)
thanks Floyd
Keep posting what I missed mentioning or messed up on in the Comments Gents. good catches so far from Steve and Dan. were all here to learn, get better, and crush are enemies of course, need the right info to do so!
GREAT!
I'm still waiting for my second edition rules from NWS Online, so I was glad to see your excellent overview Sean. I really like what they have done with the changes.
I think you forgot to mention the Recce changes. Those will be a welcome improvement for most people. I found the old rules to be very frustrating when facing a recce unit ;)
HOLY CRAP!!!! you are absolutely Correct Dan. lol my Hated hated hated enemy of rule mechanic is dead and I totally forgot to mention it!!!
Good summary of the changes using your figures to demonstrate the rule is very useful. I've only just picked up that ruins are now classified as dense terrain (page 52 dia 7A)
Flame throwers no -1 for long range (page 67 ) :)
thanks Ken, I will have to grab my book when I get home. that is to hit correct? I know they have no -1 on penetration
WahooWarrior Your are correct, my bad i missed the word Pen. so long range effects it.
Snipers do not get +1 anymore, they simply ignore all modifiers aside from pins or losing their assistant. Also squad members must be
Ah yes, thank you Steve on the sniper. basically hitting on 3+ if no pins on the sniper. the unit cohesion ya no more then an inch, (im not a measure this type of person I'm a move them roughly there)
yes the Pinning HE vs vehicles is the same as 1st edition FAQ which I disagreed with. but am now ok with. that part stayed the same but now those bigger tanks can clear pins so I think you will see them more. You can get your points moving. before an art observer, and a heavy mortar getting one hit could rack you up 6 pins and you were trying to rally on like a 3+ was crazy if you spent 300 points or more on that tank.
thanks for the clarification!
So now 4 years later, how did the rule changes and updates hold up?
Turret Jam is on a 4-6 on a D6 if you have damaged a vehicle, but didn't destroy it (So 'Crew Stunned' through 'On Fire' has the potential of a Turret Jam)
Awesome thank you Jay. so there will be more of those then I thought happening.
I want to buy Firefight D day starter set but i see it has the 1st edition rulebook
Do i have to buy the 2nd edition?
Another one that came up the other day, charge reaction models with weapons that are out of range when the assault begins (pistols, flamethrowers basically) CAN fire but -1 for firing at their long range. I'm assuming that this -1 supersedes the +1 for being within 6". In the sense of fair play, that's how I intend to play it. So a dude with a pistol being charged with no pins would hit on a 4, not a 2, even though his 'long range' is 6".
I'm very certain that you have the -1 for range and the +1 for point blank. same as if it was your turn and you moved to 5 inches away and fired. which is totally fair to me as they couldn't even fire before. So you would be 3+ to hit. Good mention of a new rule too thank you
You're probably correct. It just seems odd that they'd word the rule that way. I kind of want someone to charge my assault engineer with the Sturmpistole now. What a surprise that'd be. BOOM!
yes! and you could technically fire panzerfausts just for laughs
I think that you did forget that cavalry did lose 3 attacks per models and did get tough fighters
excellent Deende yes that is true, cav, with the recce changes, are much more normal. still a very cool unit and worth the points upgrade in many instances but not broken like they were.
Im new to the game...should I get the first and second edition books or does the second edition book cover all the rules and scenarios from first edition aswell?
Good question. The 1st edition rule book was replaced by second edition. You do not need (or want) a 1st edition printing
cool thanks a bunch dude :)
@@Gool349 no problem, welcome to Bolt Action!
i never played bolt action. but am getting a starter soon cause i heard its alot better then FOW. but i was wondering. with how u add +1 on die roll for distance. pins and what not. if it goes over 6? how do u roll then? isnt 6s to hit the most it can be?
and also. whats your input on bolt action? whats more user friendly and easy to get the hang of. cause i was looking at FOW. then i found this. whatched some videos. and feel like this is easier and more intense, and more of the feel that battle is all happening at the same time with the dice bag thing.
Good Question C6. while there are several ways many game companies deal with this the way Warlord does it any roll higher then 6 needs a 6 followed by the roll of another 6. (often called needing Super 6's) So if you had a squad of 10 riflemen needing greater then 6 (doesnt matter how much more then 6) grab 10 dice and roll them any 6's you rolled roll again and if it is a 6 it is a hit.
you nailed the answer in your question. If you are looking for squad based infantry tactics that ebbs and flows like a battle this is the hobby for you. FoW is a you go I go type system similar to 40k and warhammer fantasy where the other persons entire army goes then you get to go. also FoW is larger scale with groups of tanks and such. I have long been facinated with WW2 and this really nails it for me. every game with the order dice mechanic changes between turns. it can be intense and fun at the same time.
also the rule set and mechanics are much more stram lined and simple
ok thank you very much for taking time to comment. now i just need to find people to play haha. im in minnesota so dont think theres much of this around. ima be ordering the band of brothers starter, so i can start with the V2 rulebook. and plus the terrain looks very fun to make.
