Bolt Action: Errata and FAQ Updated 01/21/2015

Alessio Cavatore and Warlord Games have just updated the Errata and FAQ for Bolt Action.

You can download the latest version here:

Besides addressing their new Theater books and special named characters, they made a few core changes to the game.

Here are some of the key changes and clarification:

Errata:

Flamethrower (vehicles) are now range 12” instead of previously being 18”. Players feel flamethrowers on vehicles are too over powering and most tournaments in the US have started to ban these options. With the range now being 12”, we’ll see if that levels the playing field.

FAQ:

Assaults: Assaulting around/through an obstacle was clarified. The charge move of the first model is what matters. If he has room to go around the obstacle then assault the squad, they will attack first instead of simultaneous. They include a picture as a reference.

Armies of Germany: They also covered four questions regarding the one shot use of flamethrowers that are used with Eintossflammenwerfer Team.

A few more clarifications were also made but I do not see any of them being too major.

Bolt Action: Errata and FAQ Updated 05/30/2014

Warlord Games released this morning an updated Errata/FAQ for Bolt Action.

Alessio Cavatore has been busy working on an update to make tank pinning a little more realistic – you can check out the results in our free PDF download.
There are also various other clarifications as well as rules for the Luftfaust rocket launcher and Krumlauf assault rifle from the Last Levy boxed set (allowing you to fire round corners!).

Here are some of the changes:

1. Pinning against vehicles has changed to make it a little harder to Pin enclosed vehicles.
2. Units that are receiving fire from a Mortar must now move at least 1" to re-set the firing sequence.
3. Snipers hit as normal against units inside buildings.
4. LMG loader rule is clarified.  You can change the loader each turn, but for more realism they recommend to assign a man to be the loader for the entire game.

There are also a few other changes and army book errata/faq's.

"The Demo Gamers" blog has also updated their excellent Main Rulebook Index he has created and can be found HERE.

Bolt Action: Scenario "Bunker Assault"

SCENARIO: BUNKER ASSAULT

Warlord Games released a new scenario for Bolt Action today. You can find the scenario HERE.

This scenario represents a frontal assault against a section of an enemy fortified line, and works perfectly with our Atlantik Wall bunkers set!This could represent troops storming the Atlantik Wall on D-Day, or the German Panzer Grenadiers attacking the dug-in defenders in the initial phases of the battle of Kursk, or the western allies’ assault against the Westwall/Siegfried Line, or the Soviets overwhelming the Seelow Heights defences… as well as ‘what if’ assaults against the Maginot line and so on – have fun!
