- you cannot move with a sniper and then use his sniper rifle to shoot. - if you had legitimately killed the guy carrying the panzershrek, the team is dead. Only if you kill the loader is the team not dead but suffers a -1 for firing. - when the panther fired the MMG you forgot about movement, that’s now 7’s needing to be rolled, not 6’s. - when a man is killed on a 6, another 6 needs to then be rolled for exceptional damage. - the medium AT gun can’t make that shot as he is firing through friendly troops. - when the Med AT gun shot and hit, odds are it was at long range so it would of had -1 to its pen. Meaning that the guns pen went from 5 down to a 4. So even after rolling a 6 for pen it would of only been superficial damage because the panthers front armour is 10. Another illegitimate kill for the Brits. - when the flamethrower hit its not D3 +1 for pins, that’s for vehicle mounted flamethrowers only. It seems you got that right though. BUT! You forgot about the squad needing to take a moral check after being hit by a flamethrower! And with you having 4 pins to your 10 moral base and I believe your NCO was gone at that point. That gives you less than a 50% chance at passing. Could of very well wiped put the squad after that hit! - and why would you think that someone can block a door meaning you can’t get in to somewhere to assault?… an assault would of been dam near impossible to win but it would of done more than shooting! - for exceptional damage the entire FT team would be removed. - later on in the video you mention the AT guns range in regards to the Germany infantry… if they are at long range, then that means the tank certainly was as well. The tank should not of been destroyed. You clearly forgot about the -1 pen to long range shooting. The shot would of been on the superficial damage chart and a 6 means it would of been on fire with a total of 2 pins. He would of had to them pass a moral check at a 7. At an 8 or higher it would of been destroyed. * So in the end, the Germans wouldn’t of lost a team as quickly as they did (sniper rule screw up), there’s a good chance they wouldn’t of lost their panther (firstly because it was an illegal shot and then the damage chart got all messed up), and the British would of lost a whole infantry section much faster than they did (the one that ended up being pinned out, they should of had to take a moral test twice which they more than likely would of failed) which would of allowed the German to focus their fire on fewer units and with the heavy firepower of the panther that would of absolutely destroyed the British. Should of been an overwhelming German victory.

We picked up on these in editing.. been awhile since we played.. but thank you for helping improve us

[@BootsontheTable]

Nice game, others pointed out the errors but just to add, if a tank fires it’s main gun it can’t fire its coaxial mg as well. It’s main gun or mg. if it has a hull mg and pintel mounted mg it can fire those too. Good to see BA, one of my favourite systems

[@julianhughes4395]

In regards to the sniper, if you move and shoot you can’t use the scope so it just becomes a regular rifle shot with all the regular modifiers and no exceptional damage. If you do score exceptionally damage against a small team weapon like a panzerschrek team, the whole team is removed. Snipers are essentially an anti small team weapon, mortars, MMG teams and bazookas etc all die instantly if wounded by a sniper using a scope.

[@jakebowen7463]

For a exceptional kill you have to roll a 6 followed by another 6

[@GeeksWargaming]

Yeah, we haven't played for a while so we may have got a couple of things wrong.

[@berserkerdad2490]

Glad to see Bolt Action back on the channel!! Keep the reports coming. Table looked absolutely first rate!! Looking forward to more, gents!!

[@laytonhallmen6850]

snipers can only use there rule with a shoot order.

[@domb3480]

Great to see Bolt Action back, can't wait to see you build your forces and possibly new ones in the future. Big thumbs up to the house rules; who doesn't love an exploding flamethrower?

[@denisd3639]

Soooooo glad to see Bolt Action again!! Keep up the excellent work! And YES to exploding Flame Throwers!

[@chudy181]

Really makes me want to pick up bolt action..

[@devangrey4376]

Love the bolt action report. Thanks for the content.

[@phildent7534]

At last I have missed your bolt action battle reports

[@mattcappelli5822]

Good to see BA back. It’s a great game. I read through the comments and I didn’t see if anyone said that when the sniper fired and killed the panzerschrek and flamer unit, it kills the whole team, not just the one guy. Snipers will kill a “team weapon” so that would include flamers, bazookas, mortar teams, MMG teams, etc. but not an artillery team.

[@GuyMaleMan]

Also since it advanced it couldnt have fired, snipers can only fire with their scope on a fire order, if they advance they shoot with the teams normal rifles

[@LimaTangoFoxtrot]

@@GuyMaleMan or Ambush order

[@THE-UFO-MAN]

I used the plastic Tesco Coin's on the bases, so you can identify the NCO, I painet one red, for my Flamer guy, Black one's for my Pait Team's, the are already Blue when you get them, so just paint them any color you want, the plastic blue coins from Tesco fit perfect.

[@MrKurtank]

Great to have you back. I hope it's not a lovely summer as you both may be spending much of it indoors creating media for your content starved viewers!

[@GeeksWargaming]

Dont worry we plans in the works right now

[@pdelic3644]

Glad to see BA again!

[@neilwilson5785]

I presume that the 6 pdr At gun model is acting as a 17 pdr? Just a bit confused. Maybe I should watch the rest of the video lol. Great stuff bois.

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Cool board and game. Apart from what has already been mentioned in the comments, you can't shoot within 1"of a freindly unit. The sniper could not shoot past the para, neither could the 17 pounder. And the tanks could not shoot at each other. Great game and looking forward to more BA 👍👍

[@GeeksWargaming]

Thank you, still learning the game

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

@@GeeksWargaming you and me both 😂😂

[@gregcooper029]

The panther can shoot at the Sherman, becuase they don't care about the US INF in the way. However the Sherman/17PDR/Sniper couldnt return fire for fear of hitting the friendly forces to their front.

[@e-4airman124]

thanks for the new show

[@mrV69]

What game mat is that?

[@richardmacpherson7647]

Yep... House flame thrower rule!!!

[@teessidetyrants1989]

great video gents

[@WearyWizard]

im new, So snipers can move and shoot with just a -1? also im pretty sure if you roll a 6 to wound, its only an exceptional wound if they then roll a further 6 to confirm it was exceptional

[@GeeksWargaming]

Yeah we made a few mistakes but it had been a while since we played

[@WearyWizard]

@@GeeksWargaming no worries. is the sniper thing accurate?

[@LimaTangoFoxtrot]

34:10 You can't consolidate (regroup) into a building.

[@rich_john]

Can the sniper shoot as a sniper on an advance order?

[@GeeksWargaming]

We couldnt find it that sId he couldnt

[@TheVSFDawg]

@@GeeksWargaming You can NOT 'snipe' on an Advance order. Relevant rule is on p.91 Sniper section. Paragraph 1. Last sentence. "When a sniper shoots using a Fire or Ambush order the player can decide to use his scope, in which case the following special rules apply:"

[@GeeksWargaming]

Thanks, that's really helpful.

[@patchs1113]

Yes to house rule

[@richardmacpherson7647]

I miss me...

[@bazza1carter]

Apart from the sniper and exceptional damage bloopers, the 17pdr can't shoot at the Panther because there was a squad in the way ( see diagram 4B on pg 50 of the MRB). Edit: I probably should have watched it all the way through but the Pzshrek team should have been removed from play when the firer was killed (pg 72 support team weapons). Second edit: flame thrower not sure if this was edited out but after pins are applied the squad takes a morale test if they fail they are removed. The flame thrower rolls a D6 and on a 1 runs out of fuel. If that happens the flame thrower (the team as above) is removed. Some simple errors shame as the overall quality etc is v good.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Thank you, still learning the game

[@GeeksWargaming]

The moral and fuel test for the flame thrower team were in the video.. i think.. still learning the game and feedback like this helps

[@unit0033]

every channel of these games people seem to not get the rules right, maybe the rules should be simplified

[@nintense5317]

Models and board look great but so many errors, god damn. One that hasn't been mentioned at 38:03 you only needed a 4 with the AT because shooting HE at buildings doesn't count as cover, you're just hitting the wall and then rolling for hits inside the building.

[@GeeksWargaming]

Its been a while since we played and your feedback helps us pick up what we missed

[@nintense5317]

@@GeeksWargaming fair enough, just tough to watch as a result unfortunately. Once again great job with the models and terrain though, looks ace!

How can british forces use american tank's.

The sherman tank was used by the british forces as well
