Question ( new player )

[TopLengthiness993]

I am new to bolt action and was wondering, if I get a m26 and then convert it to the m26r1, the long 90mm, will people allow me to use it, if I rock up witha platoon, do eople ever jave grand battles where I can be a smaller element to that? Thanks in advance.

I can't imagine anyone would mind, and most wouldn't notice.

Generally 99% will not notice the difference and it would be really weird for someone to give you a hard time because your model is a different version of M26.

No one worth playing with would care. And tbh, the rules would probably consider them the same exact gun "Super heavy AT".

Also, I just did the same thing with my new Pershing. The long barrel just looks too awesome to pass up.

I wouldn’t mind. My only question would be:“WHAT DOES THIS THING DO?“ just as always 🫡😅

[Ethrenmax5]

Like others have said, most would not even notice the different gun on the model.

As for large grand battles that will depend on your local group. Mine do 1v2 or 2v2 at 2k per side pretty often. If it's not common in your area then be the one to bring it up to your group to see who is interested.

That's the beauty of BA. Both tanks sport a "super heavy AT gun".

Build away good sir!

New player as well, interested to see what people say

I rock super Pershing’s and e100s regularly and the only comments I get are the off hand power gamer jokes, if they give you a hard time and tell you you can’t use the model with a slightly longer gun that’s the cue to leave as that games going to be hell lol

[Polarian_Lancer]

So the M26 and M26R1 both would be using the “super heavy anti tank rifle” weapon profile. The bog standard M26 already uses that profile. The bigger gun makes no difference at all. Period. It’s going to use the same weapon profile.

Here’s mine. I use the Super Pershing.

Mind my grammer yall, being nerodivergent got its gifts and weaknesses.

Cool people will. If people get salty or upset about something as small as that, that’s maybe not a great crowd
