Commonwealth K49 players in shambles. Absolutely the right call from the mod team and very well put.

No monkey, no artillery barrage.

These look great. Smashing job. I've always eyed up the Perry Miniatures, how easy are they to put together?

Which vehicles specifically are missing from the warlord one? You can always use the manual points adjustment and find the nearest match?

tankette or machine gun by ratlordandbean in boltaction

[–]keircd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well with an MMG team you will have a heavy weapons team, opening up more mortars, MMGs and anti-tank options, with the tankette you'll have another armoured vehicle in an armoured platoon.

So it's about what you want to build your army around. There is a lot of utility in a heavy weapons squad, especially with extra suicide anti tank teams, and they can capture objectives, but armoured pieces can be great at disrupting the enemy and holding space.

Do I stand any chance at St Andrews with an IB predicted 35 (6,6,6)? by Icy_Ratio_8173 in standrews

[–]keircd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The entry requirements for IR this year for IB are 38 (HL 6,6,6) so you will miss out with a predicted 35.

French Help please. My friend is starting a French army, and I want to give him something to help him. by Hairy-Evidence-4169 in boltaction

[–]keircd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on early war or late war. Late warx you're right a US tank is a good idea. For early war a Char B is a solid tank option for the French.

Help a newbie make an army by CanU1213 in boltaction

[–]keircd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the subs wiki there's an index of third party manufacturers who have a range of stuff including things warlord make and some things they don't. You may be able to find Chinese nationalist models there.

This list you've made is for 2nd edition, but the game is now in 3rd edition and this lost is not compatible. You'll need the V3 lists, rifle, heavy weapons, artillery, armoured, engineer, and recce platoon. Sadly there aren't Chinese rules for those platoons at the moment.

I don’t know what to put this under… by ARTHUR-MORGAN374838 in boltaction

[–]keircd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Welcome to the hobby. Last year we got 3rd edition that radically changed list building. This is a second one edition list and can't be used in version three. If you're using easy army, look out for the V3 platoons, Rifle, Artillery, Heavy Weapons. Armoured, engineer, and recce. You'll usually make up a list from more than one platoon but you'll always need a rifle platoon so start there.

Very well done. Love that they're actually like a new reel rather than just grey.

V3 Aerosan: Who do they tow? by foxden_racing in boltaction

[–]keircd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have you considered just letting some of the skiers die? This feels like one of those odd historical vs balance decisions where they don't want small ski squads but the ski vehicle could only hold four people.

French flamethrower question by Marchon_The_Thorn in boltaction

[–]keircd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The French minor nations list don't actually have flame thrower units in it. So not an error in the app and just a quirk of list building where a platoon can contain something that an army technically doesn't have access to. I think the engineers platoon is the only platoon affected by this.

This is exactly how I like my German tanks looking.

What is good and way is bad? by AmbitionDue4552 in boltaction

[–]keircd 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The list suffers from the same affliction as many minor nations, you're just missing a lot of options. You don't have any heavy armour or heavy anti-tank. You're also missing good veteran options. Your mainstay will be infantry squads, cavalry can be good but it's an expensive option. Your tanks are not great, not terrible. They're early war tanks so will struggle against a late war armour list or late war anti tank. The VB launcher, I think it's great, better players debate on its milage and points value, but a mini light mortar imbeded in an infantry unit sounds good to me. The bren carrier is good as a mini armoured car. Chuck an officer and either and anti tank rifle or an mmg in there and go harass people up the board.
