V3 Bolt Action Battle Report - Germany vs Great Britain

[@Pioden-j9q]

OMG that Tiger off fkn was a major blow for JP. It’s the trouble with the Death Star units. I love them but I always back off from picking one 😂 Great game guys 👍🏻👍🏻

[@TikitheHutt]

We've had one Tiger yes, but what about second Tiger? Maybe a King Tiger X? Also, those well earned order dice look great BTW!

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Haha tiger X eh? When I was down at HQ I asked when the new edition was coming for K47 but they weren't giving anything away...joking around I probed; well can we expect it in the next 3 years and they laughed and said yes. Yeah man thanks, loving the new gold dice, feels cool to have won them!

[@TheKenthor]

My Aussies did about as well as JP's Germans today, so I'm with you, JP. Sometimes it's just not your day. As always, well played,gentlemen.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Haha we were playing classic Dystopian Wars the night before with our friends and JP was rolling crazy hot dice so he used his luck up!

[@funnybones242]

Wow, lucky knock out on the tiger. Love the battle reports, just a little bit of feedback, when rolling dice can you use 1 colour of easy to read dice. When you roll 7 shots all different colour it's hard to read some of the lighter colour dice. If firing different weapons at once I understand. Not trying to gripe just giving you a perspective from a viewer

[@cjanquart]

As someone with older eyes, I agree. Don't get me wrong, I have WAY too many fancy dice but most of the time I'm just reaching for solid color dice with contrasting number so they're easier to read. Not gonna lie, really digging those gold order dice!

[@funnybones242]

@cjanquart those gold order dice you can only get from winning tournaments at warlord games, they are really pretty

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Hi chaps, first thanks, really proud to have won some gold dice! The dice we use are a collection I've built up by trading dice with opponents in competitive wargaming over many years, every dice represents a great game and maybe a friend! If it's a real issue we can look at changing but the dice are part of the channel lore if that makes sense!

2:30 When you are bringing a CROMWELL... you know it's TEA TIME SUNDAY! Hope he can Survive in TIGERLAND!!! Building my Cromwell Tomorrow....and Than Opting for some Russian Tanks! Love the Inexp Rifleplatoon Commander leading the Vets and the 2 LMG flavour of the month! 9:25 TURN 1 11:00 German Machine Guns have 7 shots.... JP, how could you forget the 7th shot^^ hahah

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Yes a nice brew and a Cromwell, what more could you want for your sunday afternoon! Haha Ooops JP is still learning his germans after running his Italians and Soviets for so long, that's the iconic national rule though so I should have spotted that myself haha

[@aruss1]

Wow, what a game! Looking at the armies, I was sure the Germans had the edge and then the Tiger reversed off the board in its first activation and it was all downhill from there.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

@@aruss1 haha ngl mate after deployment I was scared of that tigers position against my armour! Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

[@TikitheHutt]

I like 1250 games but watching the video of the 750 point event you attended really wants me to play a 750 point game. What is your preferred point limit: 500, 750, 1k, or 1250?

[@dariostabletopminatures]

Playing 750 can be fun. A bit smaller and Quicker. I gave a new Player last tuesday an introductory Game,.... roughly 750p. Wan't expecting having so much fun. Brep coming. But 1250 is also fun. Warlord really did a great thing with V3. On each level of points I enjoy the GAME!

[@VioletMoonMediaWargames]

great game.... reminds me that I have three tigers waiting to be built for my DAK!

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Everything I hear about your DAK force is scary, it would be so cool to run it all in a big game when its built!

[@VioletMoonMediaWargames]

@scholaprogenium7276 yeah, its heading that way, with these big cats, will be over 3000 points, would lobe to field them. In a big game rather than just options for smaller games.

[@AnteQ2.0]

TIGER!!!!!!!!!! one of my favorite tanks :D in the 2nd edition I took the tiger for 750 points xD. Good game :D

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Haha I have a buddy like that, not sure he's played a game without his tiger haha

[@AnteQ2.0]

@scholaprogenium7276 in the second edition I had 4 must haves: Tiger/Pantera, Gewehr 43, medium mortar+spooter and most importantly Volksgrenadiers

[@jdmcdonald4258]

My son and I were playing a game of V3. He managed to fail an order test on a Pz4 which reversed off the board. On his next order dice he managed to roll a fubar and his King Tiger followed suit! Great action game. Do all A-T weapons hit on a 3+ on a "fire" order or does the rule only apply to vehicle mounted weapons?

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Ouch! I guess it's a small mercy that the king tiger didn't commit friendly fire haha. Any anti tank gun that is issued a fire order, so not ACs or rockets, just the guns. Tanks therefore hit vehicles on a 5+ if they advance but 3+ when stationary.

[@jdmcdonald4258]

At @ 22.57 the German infantry PC gave his morale bonus to the Pz4. I thought that armour could only receive bonuses from their command vehicle which has the exceptional 12" range. Do you play the "last man standing" negative? I cannot find this rule in the book. Apologies for the questions.

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Sorry for the delay! Yeah tanks can benefit from plattton commanders just fine. Last man standing is kinda old terminology we use out of habit, I'll honestly have to check the book for you mate!

[@jdmcdonald4258]

@@scholaprogenium7276 Many thanks. I accept the idea that a commander in a fully armoured vehicle would have difficulty in communicating with infantry, although would have no problem if in an open topped vehicle. An infantry PC is able to communicate with both, presumably by throwing a few rocks to get the tank's attention! Anyway, I think BA is a superb game and I'm happy to play the same rules as everyone else. I really enjoy your games.

[@GhostMaker00]

So I thought you had to have a rifle plt for every other platoon? Is it just one rifle unlocked it?

[@scholaprogenium7276]

@@GhostMaker00 Yeah 1 unlocks 1 of the others. If you want 2 artillery platoons you need 2 rifles though.

[@brad4268ify]

why do you always have "ritters war" on your desk? your favourite?

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Tim, my brother, gave it to me as it was one of our favourites as a kid! I need to pick up some more online but it holds top spot for now!

[@samreds6808]

Oh nice, a game with a tiger.. Cool! Turn 1: runs off the board Ok i ll leave 😂

[@scholaprogenium7276]

Hahaha new model syndrome at it's finest!

[@timthedean]

@@scholaprogenium7276 Great game! But shouldn't a failed order test mean a reverse at half speed, so 4.5"? Would that have been enough to hit the board edge?

[@scholaprogenium7276]

@@timthedean yeah he was very much in the danger zone haha
