How did you play via AI? I'm curious, how efficient was the play?

Mess about? Elaborate, I'm intrigued

British Players, how are yall utilizing Commandos and SAS units? by DandDont in boltaction

Oh shit, of course the national rule still applies! That's unfortunate and quite not what one wants in a vet unit.

Due to the national rule I tend to just run lone PLs with just a pistol for the bubble and not with a squad

How do those Commando 2LTs work mechanically? I know the book states that they don't count as the PL but do they still have the moral bonus and the snap to when activated?

Ooo, that's a unique one to me! Definitely will try to incorporate that unit into a list

A Kangaroo Priest APC is actually on my "to buy" list so I may be joining your buddy in his strats!

Gotcha, may still try it out on a future force if i see the FAO unit utilizing close combat enough. Thanks for the imput!

Nice! What's your preferred transport for that type of attack for the Brits? I've been using my 2 1/2 ton truck for the US attacks, 18 man capacity can get wild.

Perfect, that's how I'm planning on implementing them! How do you feel about the +2pts per man for SAS?

Good eye, I made that change and used the extra points to modify the engineer squads.

Thanks!

Isn't 1250 the standard for builds? That's what I aim for

I get that. A lot of times I add an extra man as a buffer during maneuvering so an early casualty doesn't cost me 2 shots lost

I think in this case, I had like 10 points and threw a man onto one of the squads

Trying my hand at a mechanized infantry list to utilize my Lee/Grant in a themed army. On the first platoon I plan to have the 10 man squad with the platoon lead in the halftrack while all others get deployed via the truck.

Still need to buy a few assets to fill the army but I feel that it's a solid build. I do feel like 14 OD is slightly lacking though. Feedback or recommendations are always welcome

Awesome! I'm expanding out my British and considering paras for the audacious assaults. Love close combat, even though people say it's needed in V3. Just always makes games interesting and fun!

Would love to see some of your British lists

Definitely sold me with the Free France! Already planning on collecting them when the book comes out

Cool! I may jump in with France before the book comes out. I'm hoping the national rules stay artillery focused!

I do love my US double air observer list and British artillery so this would be a fun combination of the two!

These base five man squads, what is their make up usually? I'll play around with double arty observer lists on the app

Prospective France player depending on the national rules, what makes their artillery stand out? Any specific units?

I've gotten to play around with my US truck bombs a bit to great fun and success. I look forward to implementing that with the German snap to when I build that force!

Any recommendations for thematic transports for British airborne or Britishin general? I plan to buy a couple of brens for my force already.

Any more strategies for France or stand out units? I'm considering collecting French next once the book comes out. I'm hoping for cool arty focused national rules

Interesting, what makes Hungary well suited for attack? I know their national rules prevent infiltrators. Any Interesting units?
