Growing up my grandpa had an amazing train setup with this era of train cars, buildings, and vehicles. It would have been awesome to play this game at that table with him.

Just getting into Bolt Action. Thanks for the demo. Very very helpful.

Great video and I know it can be tuff to cover everything. I would like to comment on terrain. Shooting is based on line of sight. A lot of your shooting has a wall in between units. If a unit is within 1 inch of the wall I could see them shooting over it at a unit in the "open". But when your units are so far from the wall (1 inch or more) why don't you apply cover to the "to hit" roll?

I’m getting my first army and I am exited this was helpful so I can get a better understanding of the game

great video, thanks. I was high while watching this and the people talking in the background tripped me out lol

thanks for this man, it was a great help. the first tutorial i tryed to watch was wrong in many ways and hard to grasp, yours was easy and usefull

I am catching up on all of your videos. One question (maybe silly) Can you play with, lets say, Memoir 44 pieces? or the Airfix of my youth years? Thank you for your answer, I dont know really where to start.... I guess you need the books and the dices... and the markers for hits? Thank you again.

Not really you can play with 15mm or 28mm minis. Band of brothrrs starter set would be the best place to start. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the walk through. Just getting started with BA and your explanation helps clarify the rule book.

Also watched your CoC video. Which one do you play more often?

I picked up Bolt Action last year and the basics are really easy to learn. Most units don't have any special rules, and even the ones that have special rules are also not complicated. I am certainly still learning but the game itself is easily learned. Love it!

Nice explanations, nice scenery, nice models - very impressive. Subscribed. 👍

So i have a question if you get advance, run, rally, ambush, what will you do with the pinmarker

Hello friend , what brand and kind it’s your board mate?

At 12:16 in your HE discussion, you say the unit should receive a pin. But in this case, doesn’t’ the unit take D3 pins, as shown in the HE table that you showed a few moments before? Also, you then mention that a morale check can occur if the unit is reduced enough … my question is, does that morale check happen before or after the pin[s] are added? (Maybe the pin[s] should have been added after the “hit” occurred?)

Am completely new to this game. Just watched the bit on assaults. How do people feel about the 'all losers die' rule? Does it feel right? I know this is a game rather than a simulation, but do people find instant extinction of the losing unit a good game mechanic? Great video - well made, and with excellent explanations. Applause!

@JKWARGAMES

6 ай бұрын

Think of it as the enemy being overwhelmed or fleeing Jk

The morale is explained differently in starter set its 2 D6 +1 per hit marker (if higher than morale no movement). Did it change?

You forgot to apply the D3 pins from the mortar hit.

Couple of things you forgot! US riflemen can move and fire without penalty ( US special Rule) . Assaults, all pins are removed, and assault weapons are added..( SMG, STG 44).

I’m getting into this and it looks fun thanks for the explanation

Im just confused on order dice You had 6 yanks and 6 Germans so wouldnt it be 3 order dice a side ?? Or does it depend on you

Where did you find your battle mat?

Thanks cus I'm considering ba

So regardless of how many hits are scored from a single unit, the unit being shot at only takes 1 pin token?

Could have been explained more clearly though appreciate the time and effort it took to post the video. Should have explained that the recipient gets to call "down" when responding to being shot at providing they had not moved this turn to achieve a -ve modifier to be hit (remembering to remove the command dice from the bag for that unit), also saying lets assume we rolled a " " simply added to confusion rather than a simple walk through. When damaging on a non six roll it was not explicitely explained that the defender gets to select which model should be removed which would have made more sense when going on to explain what happens when the kill roll is a an actual 6 followed by a further 6 permiting the firer to target a specific figure. Not a major issue but as this was a tutorial it could have been clearer. Note I am not an expert but then I am not posting a tutorial. Hope this helps.

Is the order dice available in other languages not just English? :)

How is the damage resulted if a tank shoots a pak40.? Is it the same chart as vehicles?

Do engineers and tanks has smoke capability?

This is great, very helpful and clear, thank you.

Hello! A question on an officer command ability. Does an officer put same or any different orders on troops in a command range? Can he give a fire order to one unit and an advance to another? Should an officer move together with the unit he commanded to advance?

Defender choses

there is surely a rule for this but my understanding is that a 2 man team can assault like a 6 man team und kill 2 of them, they in turn lose one. So the one left standing wipes out all other 4 enemies because they killed more originally???

So there is no wounds?

You didn’t explain shooting very well. You started by taking out one enemy casualty apparently at random. Then you say, if you roll a 6, and then another 6, you can choose any enemy figure as a casualty. What’s the difference?

Any member of a unit which has an assault weapon (i.e SMG, Assault Rifle and Pistols) don't suffer the -1 plenty to hit for moving. It doesn't matter what army you are. With the American army it just means that their infantry units armed with Rifles, Automatic Rifle (BAR) and Light machine guns don't suffer the -1 penalty to hit for moving.
