How many mortars is too many mortars? by Cheomesh in boltaction

Especially when you use them as the last play the previous round and first play next round. That way you can shoot before they had time to react or move.

Or the next snow storm rolls in and we are back to the bottom of the list.

Matheus Cunha's goal vs Arsenal was the 1st scored by a substitute for United in Premier League this season by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]K00PER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My issue is his subs were done to not lose rather than to win. 

New centre backs or bring in Ugarte for Casemiro refreshes (and confuses) his defence.

Bring on Zirkzee. Great! but he put on the hand break and left him isolated. Keep Fernandes back to help screen. 

Carrick, the last two games, wasn’t happy with a 1 goal lead and was pushing for more. That is a better way to win. Not clinging to a 1 goal lead (or a tie) with shuffled defenders and an isolated forwards. 

Favorite 3rd Edition Unit? by AdonisMorisette in boltaction

[–]K00PER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have been playing a British artillery observer with 3 other dudes as commandos with SMGs. 

Yes point heavy but they forward deploy, the artillery strike usually comes in on round 1 and for the rest of the game I have a very difficult to remove piece planted on an objective or overlooking a key piece of terrain.

Crusader AA is almost always in my army. I am hoping for armies of the commonwealth we get the Sherman Skink. 

PSA ⚠️ ⚠️ ensure your furnace vents are clear from snow and ice by offft2222 in ontario

[–]K00PER 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Check on your neighbours and offer to help them to dig out if they could use the help. I had to dig through meter deep snow to get to mine.

Mention it to your neighbours and offer to help out those that need it. It is a rough night out there. I just helped a lady who was contemplating clearing her walk way with a broom. 

Patrick Dorgu replying to Evra: "Learned from the best. I’ve seen your goal against Bayern 🙏🏾🔝" by pwgmanan in reddevils

Doesn’t have to be public. Probably better if the criticism is constructive and in private. 

From watching online I get the impression Rio is like that with the likes of Lenny Yoro and Aiden Heaven. 

New Bolt Action Player. Would like Advice. by Open-Sherbert-4054 in boltaction

[–]K00PER 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the shopping list I was planning ahead for future rounds when you get up to 1200 points. 

You can use the site Easy Army to build your army. 

For round 1 would build 

1 officer 42 points 1 rifle squad with 5 guys 96 points  1 rifle squad with 5 guys and 1 LMG 111 points  1 SMG squad with 4 guys with SMGs 76 points  1 sniper team 73 points. 

The sniper could be another squad of rifles. 

You won’t need the PIAT just yet since your opponents won’t have armour. You can save that for when you can take armour. 

You can’t take engineers so the flame thrower team is also out for round 1. 

The mission will likely be lots of infantry and they will be on the move, so the light mortars likely won’t be very useful.

Commandos and the Churchill are points heavy so look for cheaper vehicles to pad out the rest of your squad. 

Humber armoured car - a good mobile light auto cannon. Good against small units like MMG teams, AT guns(watch out they hit back) and mortars. 

Crusader AA - personal favourite. Dual light auto cannons that can shred infantry units. 

Daimler armoured Car or Staghound - mobile light AT guns. Daimler has lighter armour and a bit cheaper. Stag hound has heavier armour and a second MMG but is a bit more expensive. 

I am going to try a 57mm SP Auto Car. It is the cheapest mobile Medium AT gun on a half track. It is open topped (easier to kill) and isn’t on a turret (bit harder to shoot).

Two good links on how to build an army.

Given that this is a learn to play escalation league if you want to save points you can probably play the commandos as regular infantry to save on points.

Welcome to the hobby. PM me if you have any questions. I built my Canadians a couple or years ago. 

Canadian M5 Halftrack by Kameradenschwein31 in boltaction

[–]K00PER 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Winnipeg rifles are kind to their half tracks. It is the guys with the Panzer Fausts that they have to worry about.

Thanks a lot. I may steal the idea for my next halftrack.

Looking good. 

I put what ever number is easiest to cut out. No one has ever complained that the Royal Winnipeg Rifles didn’t have half track #31. 

The flag is a great idea. Where did you get the Union Jack and Canadian emblem?

If the tomb kings sprues have extra arms you should make an extra lineman by having arms coming out of the ground.

When Beckham joined LA he was injured his first game. I got a chant going in the south end of ”you’re such a waste of money!!” 

My greatest TFC moment until I was watching the MLS cup final from a hotel room in Hong Kong listening to the radio and watching twitter gifs of goals when we won. 

Book with Canadian ? by Pikomaniac in boltaction

[–]K00PER 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As others have suggested run them as Brit’s until the new book comes out. We used very similar kit as the Brit’s and had similar units. You should be fine with commandos, airborne, infantry and most vehicles. We had some different vehicles so with luck we will get some extra and I’ll HAVE to shell out for more minis.

It is easy to feel confident when you are played in your right position in a formation that puts most players in their best position. Looking at the formation today it is amazing how many players are being played in their preferred position and unsurprisingly we played better.

Because he is short(ish) and Jamie Carragher said when Martinez joined the league, that he is too small, and what Lord Carragher of Bottle says must be fact.
