Finland vs Russia - Bolt Action Battle Report

Mission: Top Secret

[@busterbrown3099]

This is the first time I’ve noticed the rolling a 4 up to activate a Finnish sniper from Ambush? Is this new, or just specific to Snipers and I missed it in earlier Battle Reports? Keep up the great work!

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Hi Buster, nice to hear from you! Any unit that is in ambush at the end of the turn can fire their ambush or keep their dice out of the bag. If you elect to fire it only works on a 4+! Cheers

ppft, tere seems to be a curse among ussr players, this luck is palpable! great game tho, was fun to watch

[@ChrisS-fh7zt]

Page 90 in the 2nd edition rule book it says, When a green unit suffers a first casualty then roll a dice to see if they upgrade to regular (5 or a 6). But if they roll a 1 then they go down then roll a dice for possible D6 pins. Just something to clear up when dealing with inexperience/green infantry units.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Thanks for clarifying that point for our new recruits! We rolled a D6 off camera after checking the rule but my choice of words wasnt clear for sure!

[@joethornhill7759]

One more thing. I’m pretty sure you can only have one unit per floor in a building. Besides those two comments, it was a well played game! I enjoyed watching!

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Ah now this is a very interesting one! The rules on page 121 actually allow a bit of flexibility, this must be agreed before the match, just as players should agree if vehicle wrecks are removed or remain as a piece of hard cover! We don't worry about multiple occupancy and we keep wrecks as it's more fun! :)

Where did you get your fins. Are they early Germans made to look like fins. Been wanting to expand my fins. But warlord only has the same metal continuation army ones. Thanks

[@scholaprogenium7276]

They are mainly blitzkreig germans, I'll have a detailed video out on this in the next couple of weeks as I get this question a lot!

[@joethornhill7759]

I believe the green rule roll of 1 causes additional D6 pins. I could be wrong.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

You are correct, and we did stop to double check...then I rolled a 1 anyway off camera! Haha

[@ShdwRvr]

Correct me if I'm mistaken but had anyone played Japan yet? It's good to give love to Europe but a change in the menu every once in a while could be nice.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

You are correct, we don't have a japanese force...yet!

@@scholaprogenium7276you should get Tim’s Japanese on. He turned me on to your content and now I am building a Finnish army for my first force!
