NEW V3 Battle Report - Bolt Action - Germany Vs USA

[@dariostabletopminatures]

4:08 What a Tasty Buffet of all the Tasty German Units. Love that Soft Skined dies now on a 6 but that they can use the Recce Platoon Rules, and it also Naturally Buffs the Hanomags and Armored Transports!

[@CaptainTyborc]

Yes, MORE!

@@CaptainTyborc The best bit is that we have even more to come! 😁

Fantastic!

I’ve watched a few of these new V3 battle reports now, it deffo looks like the new spam is mortars and indirect fire weapons, I don’t think theres been a huge change to the game, Tanks are very much still a waste of points (even if they are cheaper), the infantry have become static, it does seam there are less kills and the old adage of pin to win is no more, I’m really not convinced at all. I think the cover save rule will appeal to 40K players? But the game hasn’t changed that much, it’s a shame they’ve missed a real opportunity. A great report, very informative and great enthusiasm from the narrator, well done guys

I think V3 will be Amazing.... but we will see.

Loving the flexibility of V3. Thanks for another entertaining game

[@TheKenthor]

Well played, gentlemen. I've got my v3 rulebook on order. Very much looking forward to it.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Thanks! I'm excited for everyone to get their books and see the complete game and how it all ties together.

Like the Commando comic!

[@dbwarhammer]

Ye Very good game 😁👍🦆

[@Ot00le-O7]

I'm saying that cover save on the sherman vs the double pen from the 88 was false. The front of the tank was easily out of the forest. I wanted to see an explosion!

[@scholaprogenium7276]

@@Ot00le-O7 Explosions do make learning fun! Haha I know what you are saying, it was over 50% within sadly!

[@Ot00le-O7]

@scholaprogenium7276 I suppose if that's how the rules are written I can't argue. I just don't like the back side of a tank giving the front side cover from a front hit.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

@@Ot00le-O7 Totally understandable opinion to have!

[@williamrthompsonjr556]

Since it was a double penetration, shouldn't have it been a double save? Assuming it was a single penetration that did separate damage internally.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

@@williamrthompsonjr556 Good question! In this situation it's one save and the damage is all or nothing, I guess you either hit a tree stump, or the tank takes the hit and then the damage commences.

[@randomcast3183]

Was there any change to smoke rules? I know no one used them before because they were bad.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

@@randomcast3183 I can see times where it is useful now, the game is more dynamic, pins stack and clear quicker as one example. So smoke could throw a real spanner in the works. Saying that I haven't popped any yet!

[@itsthatguyarc7186]

I think going Down nullifies Defensive Position when assaulted in v3, so the lone grenadier wouldn't have had the first strike. Didn't affect the outcome in this case, though.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

@@itsthatguyarc7186 hi mate, there was another factor which triggered it, but in hindsight perhaps our interpretation of the sequence was slightly off, cheers for the input!

[@ijsbeermeneer9952]

3:50 can a unit inside a vehicle which has recce'd this turn still dismount?

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Yeah I just double checked :)

[@wagonmaker5509]

you can only dismount if the recce made an escape move and moved at advance order to get away, if they use a run order to escape then they cant dismount.

What was the new rule you spotted? I didn’t notice it!

[@AnteQ2.0]

@@rotateleft2 he was shooting at the fluk with MMG and he rolled a 4 to kill and they said that someone would die, and under the old rules he would have to roll a 5 (4 + 1 for the gunshild) to kill him

Nice intro to V3

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Cheers!

[@kdimac6561]

One rule question, I thought that an officer/platoon commander could only snap to the units in their own platoon. Is that not the case?

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Nope! :)

I see you shooting throught your units. Allied units no longer block line if fire?

@@juanpablocavada3416 I'll have to double check the book, you could be right with it being open topped mate. Generally the 1" rule still applies, to answer your original question!

Incorrect. Re-read the relevant Intelligence Report.

Also incorrect, according to the newest podcast of competitive bolt action. They do talk about limiting number of platoons/order dice, maybe making a type of platoon mandatory, but they have not outright stated that they are locking in "must have one rifle platoon per support platoon"
