Growing up my grandpa had an amazing train setup with this era of train cars, buildings, and vehicles. It would have been awesome to play this game at that table with him.

[@comunidadestrategojuegosde7869]

Superb video, clear, perfectly explained, slow paced...The best one to learn how to play BA. Congrats!

[@binkymoon5238]

You have a wonderful pace and visual style of explaining rules. Thank you so much!

[@JKWARGAMES]

Np thanks for watching.

[@roadrash8867]

Great video and I know it can be tuff to cover everything. I would like to comment on terrain. Shooting is based on line of sight. A lot of your shooting has a wall in between units. If a unit is within 1 inch of the wall I could see them shooting over it at a unit in the "open". But when your units are so far from the wall (1 inch or more) why don't you apply cover to the "to hit" roll?

[@dtmjax5612]

Very nice walk through. Thanks for posting. Definitely considering getting into Bolt Action. Great looking series and appears to play really well. Thanks again for the video. 👍

[@matthilton8959]

Helpful video. Where's that Matt from?

[@stoddieboy3009]

Good video you forgot the German unit has hard cover as you are shooting past a wall, that would have been negated if your squad was against the wall

[@JKWARGAMES]

Thanks, yep good point my bad!!!

[@najkraemer3117]

@@JKWARGAMES you also forgot that the germans could have taken a shot at the US who were charging them because they were more than 6" away

Just starting wargaming and Bolt Action in particular. Great vid and great help. Where did you get that amazing gaming mat please?

[@learnthisgame6612]

Thank you for the video. This is a helpful introduction for those of us considering getting started with this game.

[@oogbah7218]

I’m getting my first army and I am exited this was helpful so I can get a better understanding of the game

[@markbrown8154]

Great demo video. Just now getting into it. 15mm though. Much cheaper, and easier to store.

[@Doranherfurth]

6mm for even cheaper!

[@oneseventytwoscale]

Nicely explained. Good video 👍🏻

[@JKWARGAMES]

Thanks glad you enjoyed.

[@jonnynguyen276]

it was very interesting and clear video that helps me understand the game was just confused about the motors and I like your models

Great guide! Very helpful. I’d like to see more Bolt Action battle reports

Thank you kind sir welcome!!

im excited to play this because this reminds me more of 40k 3rd and 4th edition than what 40k has become now.

[@DutchornatoR]

Great tutorial thank u. Btw where did u buy your mat/carpet from? looks awsome.

Thanks, its a cigar box battlemat.

Comparing to games workshop bolt action is really affordable.

We've been thinking about getting into Bolt Action, hence me watching this video. Looks easy and fast, which is what we want. Nice Demo. Thanks

[@JKWARGAMES]

No worries

[@gecko2.617]

I picked up Bolt Action last year and the basics are really easy to learn. Most units don't have any special rules, and even the ones that have special rules are also not complicated. I am certainly still learning but the game itself is easily learned. Love it!

[@septimus64]

Haven't played BA in a while going to get back into it. Thanks mate.

[@stewart2517]

Glorious stuff. I’ve always had my eye on this game I’ll definitely have to start collecting it as soon as am finished with my 40k armies. I like the idea of the system instead of the 40k I go you go.

[@JKWARGAMES]

Thanks go for it!!

[@alejandroma1]

Nice, I now understand better the game

[@tychoalpha4125]

Great overview - thanks for putting this together!

[@JKWARGAMES]

Np glad you liked it.

[@craigdavis2843]

Could have been explained more clearly though appreciate the time and effort it took to post the video. Should have explained that the recipient gets to call "down" when responding to being shot at providing they had not moved this turn to achieve a -ve modifier to be hit (remembering to remove the command dice from the bag for that unit), also saying lets assume we rolled a " " simply added to confusion rather than a simple walk through. When damaging on a non six roll it was not explicitely explained that the defender gets to select which model should be removed which would have made more sense when going on to explain what happens when the kill roll is a an actual 6 followed by a further 6 permiting the firer to target a specific figure. Not a major issue but as this was a tutorial it could have been clearer. Note I am not an expert but then I am not posting a tutorial. Hope this helps.

[@LawnBowlsforFun]

Nice and easy to follow. Thanks.

[@lagouyn]

At 12:16 in your HE discussion, you say the unit should receive a pin. But in this case, doesn’t’ the unit take D3 pins, as shown in the HE table that you showed a few moments before? Also, you then mention that a morale check can occur if the unit is reduced enough … my question is, does that morale check happen before or after the pin[s] are added? (Maybe the pin[s] should have been added after the “hit” occurred?)

[@wychwoodmcduff7957]

Thinking about playing Bolt Action again. This is a great refresher. Thanks.

[@dlear85]

The morale is explained differently in starter set its 2 D6 +1 per hit marker (if higher than morale no movement). Did it change?

[@davidwilkin1202]

Couple of things you forgot! US riflemen can move and fire without penalty ( US special Rule) . Assaults, all pins are removed, and assault weapons are added..( SMG, STG 44).

[@JohnDiPonio]

Great job. I have all my new players watch this!!!!

[@JKWARGAMES]

Thanks 😎

[@magnusnilsson2397]

As per usual, I find myself rather late to the party. So for what it is worth: I found this very helpful for learning the rules. Thank you very much sir.

[@Recon_Daddy]

I'm with you learning now

[@zhumoke]

nice video. BA looks pretty good. I'm used to remembering so many extra rules for 40k, but this seems pretty logical in the way you can play it.

[@bearg5189]

thanks for this man, it was a great help. the first tutorial i tryed to watch was wrong in many ways and hard to grasp, yours was easy and usefull

[@SPD3DPrinting]

Thanks for the walk through. Just getting started with BA and your explanation helps clarify the rule book.

[@levsharus5899]

Hello! A question on an officer command ability. Does an officer put same or any different orders on troops in a command range? Can he give a fire order to one unit and an advance to another? Should an officer move together with the unit he commanded to advance?

[@levsharus5899]

Road Rash got it. Thank you.

[@varovaro1967]

I am catching up on all of your videos. One question (maybe silly) Can you play with, lets say, Memoir 44 pieces? or the Airfix of my youth years? Thank you for your answer, I dont know really where to start.... I guess you need the books and the dices... and the markers for hits? Thank you again.

[@JKWARGAMES]

Not really you can play with 15mm or 28mm minis. Band of brothrrs starter set would be the best place to start. Hope that helps.

[@rikkiwazzerman3654]

Very informative. Appreciate it.

[@stewartcope7219]

Just starting to play this game...great vid.. very helpful..the battle mat looks cool where did you get that...thanks again👍

[@notreallydavid]

Am completely new to this game. Just watched the bit on assaults. How do people feel about the 'all losers die' rule? Does it feel right? I know this is a game rather than a simulation, but do people find instant extinction of the losing unit a good game mechanic? Great video - well made, and with excellent explanations. Applause!

[@JKWARGAMES]

Think of it as the enemy being overwhelmed or fleeing Jk

[@dragon121978]

Great video, I’m new to BA could you do a more in depth video, like firing at buildings, cover , running into buildings etc

[@basement1908]

Great refresher, my friend. Thank you for taking the time to do this!

Nice job. I’m starting with Bolt Action and this helps. One question. Where did you buy the scenery? Especially the bocage hedges with the tree, very nice. Thanks, and cheers

Taking pins from mortar on a 2in. Template is d3 pins then you roll for moral

So regardless of how many hits are scored from a single unit, the unit being shot at only takes 1 pin token?

[@TheNetterRiese]

there is surely a rule for this but my understanding is that a 2 man team can assault like a 6 man team und kill 2 of them, they in turn lose one. So the one left standing wipes out all other 4 enemies because they killed more originally???

You didn’t explain shooting very well. You started by taking out one enemy casualty apparently at random. Then you say, if you roll a 6, and then another 6, you can choose any enemy figure as a casualty. What’s the difference?
