How to play bolt action (enjoy)

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.

Just getting into Bolt Action. Thanks for the demo. Very very helpful.

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. 👍

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

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

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

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

Congrats on 700+ ! Great video!

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

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

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

Great overview - thanks for putting this together!

Love this. Ty!

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?

Very informative for a newbie like me. Nice looking models and table as well! Thanks for posting! Cheers!

great video, thanks. I was high while watching this and the people talking in the background tripped me out lol

Cheers guys....great vid...you have your self a new subscriber

Very informative. Appreciate it.

Thank you dear friend for providing a simple and very understandable guide to playing Bolt Action!

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

Nice and easy to follow. Thanks.

Thanks for the detailed video.

Nicely explained. Good video 👍🏻

Very informative! Keep up the good work

Good vid m8 thanks for this i am going to try to get back into this game.

Excellent stuff as usual mate :-)

this is incredibly helpful!

thank you for the awesome video

Great demo video!

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

Very easy to understand. I always wanted to play this game

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

Nice, I now understand better the game

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

first day today great video

Awesome video. I think I will buy.

Noice. Subbed :)

best explanation of the rules

Great demo, nice one

Very useful, thank you

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

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

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

Very helpful!

Great video

Helpful video. Where's that Matt from?

Nice job explain it new to wargaming.

I like this tutorial! very easy to follow. Question: ¿what type of mat is it? For thouse of us who are starting, ¿what do you recommend for cheap and easy gaming mat? Regards!

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.

Excellent!!

such an elegant and easy to understand system..

Liked and subbed after about 7 minutes. Thank you for taking the time to explain without dragging on. Just the meat and potatoes, I love it. Cheers.

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

Thank you sir!

very nice well done

thanks great tutorial

Great sound thank you for demo

Subbed for the ROIFLES

thank for the video is helpful and it turn out i did alot wrong

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

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

I wish I had money to get some miniatures and paint, it looks so fun!

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

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.

thank you

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.

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.

I’m getting into this and it looks fun thanks for the explanation

Nice explanations, nice scenery, nice models - very impressive. Subscribed. 👍

This is great, very helpful and clear, thank you.

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).

Also watched your CoC video. Which one do you play more often?

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!

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

Thank you.

Hello friend , what brand and kind it’s your board mate?

Awesome Simple Demo Game. Love it Man! but,..Brother? YU, Sir? Can not Roll for Shit! lol Great Video!

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?)

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

Im just confused on order dice You had 6 yanks and 6 Germans so wouldnt it be 3 order dice a side ?? Or does it depend on you

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

Is the order dice available in other languages not just English? :)

Thanks cus I'm considering ba

How is the damage resulted if a tank shoots a pak40.? Is it the same chart as vehicles?

You forgot to apply the D3 pins from the mortar hit.

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

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?

Where did you find your battle mat?

Do engineers and tanks has smoke capability?

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

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???

I mean the first time the panzer hit the us tank, that was to accurate.

Wow! there is infantry!!! I was looking for this information. I want to play with 1 to 72 models and Flames of War is not really good for that. Now that I am reading up on this Bolt action uses 28 mm which is bigger than the 1 to 72

Where did you get the printed surface your playing on?

How much for a basis decent kit with some buildings and bocage with a mat to play with? Thank you very much

6:15 How do players determine which man of the unit gets removed when it's not exceptional damage?

Where did you buy your gaming mat?

So there is no wounds?
