Hobby VLOG 97: Bolt Action 3rd Edition Army Building Quick Look [VLOG]

[@jvcpaints]

I like that they are dropping hits before hand and creating a buzz.

Hopefully they'll give us an idea of whether or not the campaign book selectors will be affected by this change in force building. Thanks, James!

Great Vlog! Someday I will bust this game out. Squirrels everywhere! Ha ha! Have a great week!

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

Thanks, Brian! If anything, wait till 3rd edition comes out (very soon). Great time to start.

One gets the impression that they are moving towards more realistic squad compositions. 🤔 It's only a shame for those who have acquired troops that no longer fit. But I still think it's consistent. Thx for keeping us up to date. 👍

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

I believe all the troops/vehicles will still be useable, just not in a generic selector as before. As you stated, more realistic squad compositions. That said, I'd hate to have to take a whole Armored Platoon to support my rifle squads since you could take a single tank (or more based on points) in the same selector. Will just have to see how this plays out on release. Thanks, Bjorn!

I played a couple of games using v1 rules, so dont have experience of v2. However, i love the fact that Warlords are moving the rules back to an infantry focus. Can't wait to get the v3 rules.

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

I've not played v1 so I can't answer to that. While v2's army building was nice, I think this will make it easier to build a force. That said, I wonder how this will affect the current campaign book selectors. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for this Josh, I am dead excited about this and really looking forward to v3. I have in my games split my army in half with troops and tanks wich was not official but now with the new set ups, I can do it. 😁👍

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

I'm very excited too, Mark. Hoping to film a couple more 2nd edition games before the switch. Thanks for watching!

[@smoothbrush4722]

Nice review. I am curios what is the point cost of every officer needed in every platoon

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

Yeah, hopefully they'll start talking about points soon. This type of force building may impact all of the campaign books though. I'm pretty concerned about that.
