Bolt Action How to Play Battle Report Ep 7 United States vs Germany

In this Bolt Action battle report we approach things with more of a how to play mentality. It's a smaller game on a smaller table but we will try to explain the rules as they take place. If you see any errors let me know and I will pin them here.

Corrections:
14:50 The Bazooka Team was in cover, so they had to leave the cover in a straight line which is across the wall of the ruin and that would result in fighting at the same time
22:26 If a Team Weapon is destroyed you remove the entire team
23:19 Small team should make it 6 to hit (roll unaffected)

As a newcomer to the game I found that very informative and enjoyed your presentation style. Very easy to watch and digest. Thanks for making this video and please make more like this. I think that using the low points count was a great idea for noobies to be able to follow along.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Excellent! That is exactly what I was going for! Thank you!

[@akarow3251]

Awesome video/battle report! Well done! Please make more Bolt Action videos like this!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Noted! Thanks for watching.

[@WarGamingNewbHistorical]

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Great! Thank you for watching and happy it helped.

[@aWOLtrooper]

Another awesome Battle Report, keep it up! The commentary and truncated presentation make these videos absolutely my favorite to watch.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks AWOL!

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

At 22:26 if a Team Weapon is destroyed you remove the entire team.

[@kevenrand7124]

the rule just states that you remove the weapon and the firer...not the entire unit

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

@@kevenrand7124 if the unit is the team weapon, it is gone, when you kill the weapon. If you have a team weapon within a squad the squad will stay.

Great battle report. Loved the pacing and explanations. As a newcomer to the game this was really helpful.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Awesome! That makes it worth it.

[@6TypoS9]

Hey I loved this video, its awesome to have a walkthrough how to play, I couldn't find anymore videos on your channel on this. I mean this was awesome and super clear, so I would totally love more content like this. Thanks for the video!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

You mean the how to play format? We’re getting ready to make a new Bolt Action report so may toss that in!

[@tharkwarrior]

A fine report. Thanks for sharing.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks for watching!

[@DavidJones-sq7pj]

Super Solid! Looking forward to more. And more 'Munda of course ;)

[@JohnDoe-yr4wc]

This great. Subscribed!

[@dyfrig26]

Great video, thanks

[@cjanquart]

Great board and explanation of rules as you went along. I wondered why the US didn't keep their officer close to a squad while the German has his close to the tank. Subbed.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks and welcome! I will have another report out for Bolt Action soon.

[@Wraithnine]

Need some more bolt action battle reports

[@elgringosinnombre]

Love the Bolt Action Bat Reps, thank you so much for doing such high quality work. I know the church and ruins are from Warlord but where are the regular houses and buildings from?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks! I would love to get more games in. Been struggling to find opponents lately. The regular buildings are 3D printed. Free files on thingiverse if you search for Normandy buildings. Cheers!

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

Well, I really enjoy your games, even if I normal do not watch these games where the sound comes after the game tookes place. But you are doing great. This setting, I have no idea to make a win for the Germans here. The Americans have all you need for this game, the Germans not. It starts with fire and manover, which is allways helpful. Thanks for sharing this entertaining game.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thank you! Hopefully it helps someone discover the game and want to play it. 🙂

[@Crizzly122]

Your battle reports are some of the only good one on KZbin, especially for Bolt Action. On so many other channels the narrator just sounds really bored, spends 30 years overexplaining things, half the video is him going "uuhh" and they always cut out the dice rolling for some reason. You deserve more views, keep up the good work.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks Chris! Got another bolt action report coming soon.

[@Octavianus08]

Best channel for wargaming!

[@tabletopgeneralsde310]

Hello, nice to see some more BA here. At 14:50 the Bazooka Team was in cover, so they had to leave the cover in a straight line which is across the wall of the ruin and that would result in fighting at the same time.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Thanks Jens! Will update the description.

[@paulpeine8355]

great bat rap, would like to know how did you make the hedge rows? i think i have an idea how but would like to confirm. thanks Paul.

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Sure - it's a paint stick that you get for free to stir paint at the hardware store (lowes/home depot). I cut a welcome mat to fit (same mat as the crops) with a little overhang to connect them if needed. I then sprayed it green and put woodland scenics clump foilage on the top. Then I spray glued it hard.

[@MajorSvenGaming]

Absolutely love your bolt action and grim dark futures reports.... Could I just ask however what happened to bolt action episodes 7 and 8 as I have watched 1-6 and this one is titled 9?

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

LOL whoops! Total typo. Getting that fixed thanks for pointing that out!

[@MajorSvenGaming]

No worries.... Shame there isn't an extra couple of episodes I missed and got to watch :)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@MajorSvenGaming 😂 if only! I’m hoping to grow the players in my area. If not here, hopefully somewhere!

[@TabletopCollective]

I’ve got something to watch while I assemble my heer winter army, woohoo!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Nice! I should not have included the tank for the game size but wanted to show armor. More German infantry needed!

[@TabletopCollective]

@@MiniatureGameMontage I’m all for it. 😂. I’m still learning so it was nice to see how the armor plays!

[@TabletopCollective]

@@MiniatureGameMontagesomehow I became unsubbed so I resubbed and your content is getting fed to me all over the place again. woo! 😂

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

@@TabletopCollective welcome back! 🙂

[@tonymontenigro9107]

Sorry informative!

[@jamesdouglas7997]

I won’t see if you could try Mid war batreps? It’s hard to find those. Anyway love your videos

[@jamesdouglas7997]

Sorry would not wont

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Unfortunately I only have late war type models. Would be nice I agree! :)

[@user-hu1bj6ek7f]

Could you tell us how you painted american paratroopers? I really liked your color scheme. I'll be very thankful. :)

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

I can try. :) Been awhile since I painted one. I think the primary color is Vallejo US Dark Green, washed with Nuln Oil and highlighted back up avoiding recesses. Then edge highlights of Army Painter Army Green. The webbing is Vallejo Iraqi sand with Agrax Earthshade wash and highlighted back up. Boots are Vallejo mahogany brown. That's about it. Simple as can be!

[@user-hu1bj6ek7f]

@@MiniatureGameMontage , thx! I will try)

[@mitchcowan1446]

More Bolt Action please!

[@MiniatureGameMontage]

Going to get a game in very soon. 🙂
