Haven't played v2 of bolt action yet, but my gaming group played a lot of v1. We loved it (simply haven't played v2 because we haven't got back round to it yet, too many games...). we have a couple of house rules, like, no 1 man units, once a 10 man squad of germans for example is reduced to 1 man, he isn't dumb enough to stick around even if the dice/pins say he is... just removed because its too much admin, and a bit silly. The best house rule we have though is the 'Dice of doom'. Two DoD are added to the order bag which are of different colour to the dice currently in there. When the first one comes out, it means nothing, pick another dice, but what it tells you is there is only one more DoD in the bag... When that second one comes out, turn over. doesnt matter if it's the 2nd dice to actually come out. It's the end of the turn. We love this because it adds a whole level of randomness to the game. You might get a run of German dice and then the end of the turn. you might get every one getting all their units out, you might get one dice each... who knows?? We like the game a LOT more once we added that in (obviously we aren't tournament players!) Great episode guys, keep it up.
