How To Play Bolt Action 3rd Edition! A New Players Guide!

[@CaptainVandus]

I just love how easy it is for new players like myself to get into Bolt Action without breaking the bank. The fact that this is only 3rd edition really adds to how well put together this game is, but that it still continues to evolve and improve. Really appreciate you at OTP taking the time to release these videos on how to plays, various units, painting etc.

[@einrauser6103]

A friend just attended a small launch party. He was gushing about this game. The pictures he took and his recap of the battles just paint a very cinematic experience.

[@shaunrichardson2440]

34:00 the book does not say from first model to first model of each unit. “Measure the distance between each firing model and the closest visible enemy model in the target unit. Then compare the range of each shooter’s weapon with the measured range to the target model to determine whether its weapon is within range”

[@Mantala0611]

Was watching the video and was great !! Told my dad , look at this , they doing like Battle of the Bulge... Then my granddad came in and says... HA I know that place :) :) :)

[@psychooefvet3580]

As someone who's only played games like warhammer the turn sequence is really cool, wish more games would go that route

[@Goknights1208]

The turn sequence is the best in mini games I think. It provides a much better randomness of the battlefield and takes away that first turn win.

[@Skill_issue_NZ]

There is a fairly similar system in legion, but uses random unit activation rather than team a or b activation

[@walmartian422]

It’s great it makes the game into a dynamic strategy session you can’t just walk in and run typical plays you need to improvise on the fly.

[@nigromontan7642]

This is an example for the perfect battle report. And you get to see two absolute Gentlemen. Thank you for your work!

[@sikitrilla]

I've been thinking about getting into Bolt Action for a while and this 3rd edition looks like a good moment.

[@johnnyonthespot5747]

I got into Bolt Action after stumbling onto a Beasts Of War bolt action demo game 6 years ago! It’s is still the best video on KZbin for an introduction to tabletop miniature war gaming. Watched it again last month. Please do some more. Your mini’s and terrain are inspirational.

[@wagonmaker5509]

at 35:53 a vehicle that runs can make a pivot. page 133 of rulebook. At any point during this move (before moving, after, or at any point between) the vehicle can make a single pivot around its centre of up to 90 degrees to face in a different direction.

[@mettsnafu3897]

Finally an understandable and new guide on how to play Bolt Action. Thanks from Italy! (And that's how NOT win One of the boxes.)

[@TiggerJS]

Very helpful for someone that's developed an interest in different table top gaming systems. I love the way the turn sequence works, very different to what I'm used to, bit adds an interesting element to the game

[@GuyMaleMan]

I've got into Bolt Action all the way back during 1st Edition. It was my introduction into miniature wargaming and has a very special place in my heart. I'm really looking forward to the new edition and excited to get my hands on the rulebook soon!

[@thelegoguy0]

Got into bolt action a bit over two years ago and have been loving 2nd edition (especially the US/SU vehicles, adore the greyhound in the new set). Really excited to get into 3rd and appreciate the clear tutorial on how it works!

[@EpicStareDown]

Oh, fantastic! I just picked up a starter army kit a few weeks ago and am currently in the process of painting it. Seems like I picked a good time to get into the game! This will be a great help for figuring out how to play.

[@fleboy8618]

I started BA after watching Warren and Alessio having a wonderful game. Also loved watching the footage from the bootcamps. So cool to see more BA content!

[@itzyanan26]

Just started out in tabletop and this was a great help, can’t wait for my first Boltaction Figures to arrive, if I can win I can get my first Scenario!

[@JF-39]

Never played Bolt Action, but I've always been interested. This introduction game really shows many of the aspects of the game and how they interact. Looks like an lot of fun and those models look great. Thanks for the video and this rundown of the new edition and models!!

[@Bakon65]

I am looking forward to getting started on 3rd Edition and this will help me and my father learn to play. Now to get a starter set and rulebook to start playing. Thanks for this video!

[@000RAWRBERRY000]

This channel got me into the last edition, and has cemented my choice to continue on in this one

[@crankycam4062]

Got into bolt quite recently and finally got to use my old models from years ago! Really like how the game flows and looking forward to playing third edition

[@FluffyTurbo]

New to bolt action and love that I started just as 3rd ed is dropping so I can sink my teeth into a brand new experience.

[@surtzeys120]

I have been wanting to jump into Bolt Action but I have had no idea where to start , thank you for showing off the new edition

[@FelasPol]

You guys got me into Bolt Action with your painting guides and battle reports. Gotta order two player stater and get some more people into a game.

[@Bacon297]

Been wanting to get into Bolt Action for a while now, this guide has been great

[@macca-of1yc]

Beasts if war got me into BA in 2017 with your D-Day table, since then I’ve played many systems but always ranked BA amongst the best, so excited for V3 and would love to get my hands on a starter box! Keep up the great work!

[@CrippleX]

A thorough How to Play video. I love the table setup, especially the trees, It looks great.

[@RobS-z2t]

Love Bolt Action since its initial concept back in the day. Just got my third edition book in the post and looking forward to seeing how the changes work. First game booked at the local for the 21st. Great video, very informative. Keep up the good work

[@alscott5700]

An excellent starter set. Loads to play with. My school club would love it.

[@311pique]

Really looking forward to playing. This is what we have been waiting for. Good job Warlord

[@taost2924]

It's a glorious day to be a Bolt Action player! Looking forward to jumping back in with the brand new edition after a hiatus

[@sophia_comicart]

Can’t wait to get started with Bolt Action. No minis yet but saving for a starter set. Always loved the design of the minis. Such a great choice for the setting. The best band of brothers episode for sure.

[@thescarletpumpernel3305]

it doesn't get more iconic than the intense firefights in the wintry Ardennes forest, love that we can finally play the 'battered bastards of Bastogne' on the tabletop.

[@OnPointCraps]

Thank you for breaking down the basics. I can’t wait to play my first battle in third edition.

[@nathanielmetherel4262]

Greetings from Canada. This is my first time watching your channel. Thanks for explaining Bolt Action 3!

[@njbu-n4p]

Thanks for the new guide! Getting my Ardennes terrain ready for the new edition and 80 years anniversary.

[@jackfulton7953]

As an avid history buff (Especially the second world war) this is a perfect tabletop game for me, it seems very easy to get to grips with the rules, and get straight into the action! Would certainly need to brush up on my painting skills, the last ww2 models I painted was the old airfix models way back when! Also like the random selection, I think it adds a deep layer for tactics and to get your brain thinking to outwit your opponent! Cheers for taking the time to record, edit, upload etc this video.

[@thomaswilliams5005]

I love all these bolt action starter sets. Great little figures, easy to put together, fun to paint.

[@Ithmn]

I'm starting to dive into historical games. First DBA, then SAGA, now really thinking about getting some Bolt Action. Thanks for the videos!

[@panzerdubs80]

Love the tweaks from third, looking forward to receiving delivery of my rulebook and Francis mini! This game has been great for collective mental health, it's so playable and intuitive it leaves time to socialise whilst also giving great scope to finding out more about the history of the war and those involved. Brilliant!

[@leanspartan]

Looking forward to getting started with Bolt action! Been waiting for the 3rd edition before diving in. Great to see a new player guide, super useful

[@1fineprofessor989]

My book comes in tomorrow. Cannot wait to get started. Thanks for the great videos.

[@brettwatson3038]

Love this! It appears some subtle but important rule changes have really refined the game! Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@andrewmongeau4123]

Glad to see the new Bolt Action content.

[@DavidMcCann-j9h]

A really enjoyable and informative battle report. That has got me pulling out my own BA miniatures, to get them ready for 3rd edition..!!

[@TheOtterpop]

Just starting to get into Bolt Action and this game is whats needed for my WW2 fix.

[@bassmanbailey]

Excited to jump into Bolt Action with the new edition, starter set looks awesome!

[@livingontheapex]

I started playing Bolt Action during 1st Edition and have stuck with it. It is by far one of the best tabletop miniature games I've played. It is the order dice that sets it apart from any other game. The you go I go games just bore me now. Thanks OnTableTop for an awesome video and for what you do for wargaming especially historical wargames!

[@verrotwood9935]

I've always had a slight interest in this game but this video put it over the top for me.

[@t.j.4473]

Just so happened to be browsing for my first tabletop miniatures game last week and decided on Bolt Action. Coincidentally, I’m glad I’m joining at the launch of 3rd edition.

[@gecko2.617]

Oh, the first how to play video on the third edition? AWESOME! Thank you so much for this nice introduction! Love it! Especially since I started with the 2nd edition but was only able to play only two games, so not enough to actually take the rules to heart too much 😅❤🎉

[@cosmingiurgiu8087]

The new edition makes the fights much more interesting. In this battle, even if the Germans seemed at a disadvantage at first, they still managed to turn the tide of the battle. Congratulations on the presentation!

[@willis271b]

I've been watching Bolt action for years, Looks like now I'm getting into it!

[@grantus27]

I've played about 8 turns of Bolt Action V3 over x2 games so far! And on the whole, with a few small niggles, I have enjoyed it immensely.

[@khyronkravshera7774]

Thanks for posting these. I've been thinking diving into Bolt Action for awhile. Videos like this is really helpful in making my decision.

[@cooperedington3859]

I feel like this might be a tabletop game I could get my dad into. Seems like it would be his cup of tea. Simple enough for new inexperienced players.

[@christianhouser9752]

This is my first foray into Bolt Action. Looking forward to it!

[@p-chan6097]

great video! looking to get into Bolt Action for the first time, and this video was very well put together and instructive. Very nice paint jobs as well

[@daniel-bg5nq]

I had just started finding out about bolt action about 2 months ago, couldn't have timed it much better!

[@wayneshepherd1843]

I'm really considering getting into bolt action it just feels like it's the right time, I've always loved the mechanics of this game.

[@TabletopCollective]

V3 plays really well! I love it

[@stephenedge2534]

My rulebook arrived today, watching this video while I finish off some scenery in preparation for our first game of 3rd Ed.

[@zakaryperrin7126]

Awesome! Can’t wait to dive in to table top gaming. Bolt action will be my first experience

[@Ggggggmmmm324]

This is a game system I've been interested in for a long time. Nice to have a How to play!

[@darrengamer8189]

My little gaming group is enthusiastic to move over to 3rd ed and nearly everyone has pre-ordered the rulebook. Afraid I'll have to wait a while before I can afford to jump in but these videos are really good to give me an idea about the changes in the new edition.

[@spraggmeatshopgreg6536]

I love that there is such good support for the new players ....makes it easy to recruit

[@Valkanna.Nublet]

I love that you say "ossifer", it's a habit I picked up as a kid thanks to Minnie the Minx in the Beano. :)

[@dpenn89]

I'm currently shopping around for a new game, it seems like BA is fairly intuitive, which is nice. I like the random activations a lot. Definitely going to dig deeper on this one, thanks for the explainer!

[@danielfrank8677]

Great game guys! Just won the starter set at a raffle yesterday, Woo Hoo! I am new and now hooked…. Because of you. Can’t commend your presentation enough, well done sirs. I really like the ease of play as compared to other WW2 games I play. One odd thing I did note was the game mechanic that requires to place your barrage marker one turn ahead allowing the enemy to avoid the area without any real knowledge that it would be coming. Not complaining because not sure how else to do it, just wish there was a way to avoid the prior knowledge you would not have.

[@DustyLivingston-yj3dq]

So excited for the new zest in V3! Gotta learn the rules quick before a tourny in Nov.. so thanks for this great play by play! C'mon battle of the bulge starter set!!

[@richardward8454]

Thank you for the chance to see how it works for V.3 . Keeping my fingers crossed for a chance to win Battle of Bulge starter set. It would very much turn my year around in so many ways.

[@FreeWill-84]

Nice! Excited to see if there will be any trickle down into Konflikt 47.

[@Gerrcinn]

I was talking about that very thing on Thursday.

[@dicewarfaregaming]

At the recent Warlord day I think John mentioned that after this release Konflict 47 is their next focus.

[@bigeime]

Just got my rulebook last night! Looking great! Appreciate your intro scenery video!

[@pierrefrebet5630]

New to this game here. This video explains it very well, and makes it interesting

[@Filmmonster]

I´ve been thinking about getting into Bolt action for some time. Great to be able to get some introduction to the new edition.

[@worempie]

Always happy with some Bolt Action content. Looking forward to playing V3 myself.

[@Gekko408]

Great introduction, really easy to follow for a beginner like me! Can't wait to get my set and get cracking!

[@lorenzobruno2460]

Coming from 40k I love how simple and yet engaging this game is

[@tgrier3858]

I find as a gamer that the people who play bolt action are a very great group of people other than other types of gamers

[@Miny_pots]

Thank you for doing these reviews and plays. It gives a nice idea of what one is getting into.

[@eliasgarcia5995]

Really looking forward to start playing bolt action, I even got into a miniature painting course on college recently

Me and my friends decided to start playing this, looks like we picked a good time!

[@XybecKatta]

I have been eyeing getting into Bolt Action. Looks good.

[@EternalFrost2u]

This looks very fun. Because of u guys i started getting in blood and plunder. And this looks also very tempting to try out with the newer starter sets. Keep up the good work and keep having awesome plays 😊👍

[@JonathanEngel-n3b]

Oh yeah, nothing like seeing more than an Hour of video on 3rd edition! I’ll be listening to this in the background on repeat until my digital copy comes (better immersion).

[@Tankman74]

Just Got the new rule book this morning. Very excited for this edition and great video.

[@Not-a-fancy-name]
