I just love how easy it is for new players like myself to get into Bolt Action without breaking the bank. The fact that this is only 3rd edition really adds to how well put together this game is, but that it still continues to evolve and improve. Really appreciate you at OTP taking the time to release these videos on how to plays, various units, painting etc.
A friend just attended a small launch party. He was gushing about this game. The pictures he took and his recap of the battles just paint a very cinematic experience.
34:00 the book does not say from first model to first model of each unit. “Measure the distance between each firing model and the closest visible enemy model in the target unit. Then compare the range of each shooter’s weapon with the measured range to the target model to determine whether its weapon is within range”
I got into Bolt Action after stumbling onto a Beasts Of War bolt action demo game 6 years ago! It’s is still the best video on UA-cam for an introduction to tabletop miniature war gaming. Watched it again last month. Please do some more. Your mini’s and terrain are inspirational.
Very helpful for someone that's developed an interest in different table top gaming systems. I love the way the turn sequence works, very different to what I'm used to, bit adds an interesting element to the game
Got into bolt action a bit over two years ago and have been loving 2nd edition (especially the US/SU vehicles, adore the greyhound in the new set). Really excited to get into 3rd and appreciate the clear tutorial on how it works!
Just started out in tabletop and this was a great help, can’t wait for my first Boltaction Figures to arrive, if I can win I can get my first Scenario!
I am looking forward to getting started on 3rd Edition and this will help me and my father learn to play. Now to get a starter set and rulebook to start playing. Thanks for this video!
I haven't tried the new edition of the game, but I have to say that Bolt Action is one of the best rules sets for wargames that I've ever played. Really great system
Oh, fantastic! I just picked up a starter army kit a few weeks ago and am currently in the process of painting it. Seems like I picked a good time to get into the game! This will be a great help for figuring out how to play.
I started BA after watching Warren and Alessio having a wonderful game. Also loved watching the footage from the bootcamps. So cool to see more BA content!
Got into bolt quite recently and finally got to use my old models from years ago! Really like how the game flows and looking forward to playing third edition
Can’t wait to get started with Bolt Action. No minis yet but saving for a starter set. Always loved the design of the minis. Such a great choice for the setting. The best band of brothers episode for sure.
I've got into Bolt Action all the way back during 1st Edition. It was my introduction into miniature wargaming and has a very special place in my heart. I'm really looking forward to the new edition and excited to get my hands on the rulebook soon!
Great game guys! Just won the starter set at a raffle yesterday, Woo Hoo! I am new and now hooked…. Because of you. Can’t commend your presentation enough, well done sirs. I really like the ease of play as compared to other WW2 games I play. One odd thing I did note was the game mechanic that requires to place your barrage marker one turn ahead allowing the enemy to avoid the area without any real knowledge that it would be coming. Not complaining because not sure how else to do it, just wish there was a way to avoid the prior knowledge you would not have.
Never played Bolt Action, but I've always been interested. This introduction game really shows many of the aspects of the game and how they interact. Looks like an lot of fun and those models look great. Thanks for the video and this rundown of the new edition and models!!
great video. Somethings forgotten: 1) make sure each unit is at least 1 inch away from other units. 2) the Fubar is a Run order then go down, but the officer only did an advance distance. Which would have saved the officer from being run down.
Just so happened to be browsing for my first tabletop miniatures game last week and decided on Bolt Action. Coincidentally, I’m glad I’m joining at the launch of 3rd edition.
Love Bolt Action since its initial concept back in the day. Just got my third edition book in the post and looking forward to seeing how the changes work. First game booked at the local for the 21st. Great video, very informative. Keep up the good work
great video! looking to get into Bolt Action for the first time, and this video was very well put together and instructive. Very nice paint jobs as well
Beasts if war got me into BA in 2017 with your D-Day table, since then I’ve played many systems but always ranked BA amongst the best, so excited for V3 and would love to get my hands on a starter box! Keep up the great work!
I'm currently shopping around for a new game, it seems like BA is fairly intuitive, which is nice. I like the random activations a lot. Definitely going to dig deeper on this one, thanks for the explainer!
Love the tweaks from third, looking forward to receiving delivery of my rulebook and Francis mini! This game has been great for collective mental health, it's so playable and intuitive it leaves time to socialise whilst also giving great scope to finding out more about the history of the war and those involved. Brilliant!
Loved the video, has helped me make the decision to give BA another go after dabbles back in version 1. Brilliant learn to play with nice clear examples.
As an avid history buff (Especially the second world war) this is a perfect tabletop game for me, it seems very easy to get to grips with the rules, and get straight into the action! Would certainly need to brush up on my painting skills, the last ww2 models I painted was the old airfix models way back when! Also like the random selection, I think it adds a deep layer for tactics and to get your brain thinking to outwit your opponent! Cheers for taking the time to record, edit, upload etc this video.
I started playing Bolt Action during 1st Edition and have stuck with it. It is by far one of the best tabletop miniature games I've played. It is the order dice that sets it apart from any other game. The you go I go games just bore me now. Thanks OnTableTop for an awesome video and for what you do for wargaming especially historical wargames!
I fell in love with it from first edition, my son and I played so many games. Now he is grown. I still play at a local games club in the Baton Rouge area USA. I love your channel because I play many of the same games you regularly put on. Rock on!
it doesn't get more iconic than the intense firefights in the wintry Ardennes forest, love that we can finally play the 'battered bastards of Bastogne' on the tabletop.
Thank you for the chance to see how it works for V.3 . Keeping my fingers crossed for a chance to win Battle of Bulge starter set. It would very much turn my year around in so many ways.
So excited for the new zest in V3! Gotta learn the rules quick before a tourny in Nov.. so thanks for this great play by play! C'mon battle of the bulge starter set!!
i'm really liking the new changes. Less "super sevens" needed to hit things with the reduction of negative modifiers is a good change. Looking forward to getting into the new edition.
My little gaming group is enthusiastic to move over to 3rd ed and nearly everyone has pre-ordered the rulebook. Afraid I'll have to wait a while before I can afford to jump in but these videos are really good to give me an idea about the changes in the new edition.
As a newbie with 2 games with 800points army's under my skin, this is by far the most catching game by far, lots of action and pretty easy to learn. Love the game, 👍
The new edition makes the fights much more interesting. In this battle, even if the Germans seemed at a disadvantage at first, they still managed to turn the tide of the battle. Congratulations on the presentation!
Oh, the first how to play video on the third edition? AWESOME! Thank you so much for this nice introduction! Love it! Especially since I started with the 2nd edition but was only able to play only two games, so not enough to actually take the rules to heart too much 😅❤🎉
Great video as ever. Looking forward to BA3, the addition of cover saves makes it much more interactive for both players rather than having the cover baked in to the firing unit’s stats.
I started playing Bolt Action 2nd Ed with a US 101st Airborne force, and loved the game!!! I already have 3rd Ed preordered from Warlord's onine store, looking forward eagerly to receive it and start playing!!!
This looks very fun. Because of u guys i started getting in blood and plunder. And this looks also very tempting to try out with the newer starter sets. Keep up the good work and keep having awesome plays 😊👍
It's a brilliant game and love Version 3. Seen alot of people crying about it but that was way before they'd seen the new book. They really need to give it a chance and embrace change. Nice little battle report too by the way lol

As someone who's only played games like warhammer the turn sequence is really cool, wish more games would go that route
The turn sequence is the best in mini games I think. It provides a much better randomness of the battlefield and takes away that first turn win.
There is a fairly similar system in legion, but uses random unit activation rather than team a or b activation
I got into Bolt Action after stumbling onto a Beasts Of War bolt action demo game 6 years ago! It’s is still the best video on UA-cam for an introduction to tabletop miniature war gaming. Watched it again last month. Please do some more. Your mini’s and terrain are inspirational.
This is an example for the perfect battle report. And you get to see two absolute Gentlemen. Thank you for your work!
Finally an understandable and new guide on how to play Bolt Action. Thanks from Italy! (And that's how NOT win One of the boxes.)
An excellent starter set. Loads to play with. My school club would love it.
I've been thinking about getting into Bolt Action for a while and this 3rd edition looks like a good moment.
Very helpful for someone that's developed an interest in different table top gaming systems. I love the way the turn sequence works, very different to what I'm used to, bit adds an interesting element to the game

A thorough How to Play video.
I love the table setup, especially the trees, It looks great.
I haven't tried the new edition of the game, but I have to say that Bolt Action is one of the best rules sets for wargames that I've ever played. Really great system

I started BA after watching Warren and Alessio having a wonderful game. Also loved watching the footage from the bootcamps. So cool to see more BA content!
I feel like this might be a tabletop game I could get my dad into. Seems like it would be his cup of tea. Simple enough for new inexperienced players.
Thanks for the new guide! Getting my Ardennes terrain ready for the new edition and 80 years anniversary.
Got into bolt quite recently and finally got to use my old models from years ago! Really like how the game flows and looking forward to playing third edition

This channel got me into the last edition, and has cemented my choice to continue on in this one
My rulebook arrived today, watching this video while I finish off some scenery in preparation for our first game of 3rd Ed.
I'm starting to dive into historical games. First DBA, then SAGA, now really thinking about getting some Bolt Action. Thanks for the videos!

I've played about 8 turns of Bolt Action V3 over x2 games so far! And on the whole, with a few small niggles, I have enjoyed it immensely.
Coming from 40k I love how simple and yet engaging this game is
I had just started finding out about bolt action about 2 months ago, couldn't have timed it much better!
I have been wanting to jump into Bolt Action but I have had no idea where to start , thank you for showing off the new edition
You guys got me into Bolt Action with your painting guides and battle reports. Gotta order two player stater and get some more people into a game.
I've always had a slight interest in this game but this video put it over the top for me.
This might be enough to get me back in BA, haven't played for over a year and my germans would love to come play again
Just so happened to be browsing for my first tabletop miniatures game last week and decided on Bolt Action. Coincidentally, I’m glad I’m joining at the launch of 3rd edition.

Great video, very informative. Keep up the good work

I love all these bolt action starter sets. Great little figures, easy to put together, fun to paint.

Cool and epic game session! 👍
Watched this while building up my Panzer 4 I dug up from my starter box storaged in dusty corner. 😅
I love that there is such good support for the new players ....makes it easy to recruit
A good intoduction showing what can be done with the starter set.
Great work, Many thanks. Looking forward to playing my first game of 3rd Ed in a few weeks, so this is really helpful primer!
A really enjoyable and informative battle report. That has got me pulling out my own BA miniatures, to get them ready for 3rd edition..!!

It is the order dice that sets it apart from any other game. The you go I go games just bore me now.

Love this! It appears some subtle but important rule changes have really refined the game! Can't wait to get my hands on it.
I fell in love with it from first edition, my son and I played so many games. Now he is grown. I still play at a local games club in the Baton Rouge area USA. I love your channel because I play many of the same games you regularly put on. Rock on!
Nice! Excited to see if there will be any trickle down into Konflikt 47.
I was talking about that very thing on Thursday.
At the recent Warlord day I think John mentioned that after this release Konflict 47 is their next focus.
it doesn't get more iconic than the intense firefights in the wintry Ardennes forest, love that we can finally play the 'battered bastards of Bastogne' on the tabletop.
I love that you say "ossifer", it's a habit I picked up as a kid thanks to Minnie the Minx in the Beano. :)
It's a glorious day to be a Bolt Action player! Looking forward to jumping back in with the brand new edition after a hiatus
Thank you for the chance to see how it works for V.3 .
Keeping my fingers crossed for a chance to win Battle of Bulge starter set.
It would very much turn my year around in so many ways.
New to bolt action and love that I started just as 3rd ed is dropping so I can sink my teeth into a brand new experience.
Much appriciated for explaning rules for news edition!
So excited for the new zest in V3! Gotta learn the rules quick before a tourny in Nov.. so thanks for this great play by play! C'mon battle of the bulge starter set!!
Thank you very much for the fun and informative video! Can’t wait to get into V3!
i'm really liking the new changes. Less "super sevens" needed to hit things with the reduction of negative modifiers is a good change. Looking forward to getting into the new edition.
Looking forward to getting started with Bolt action! Been waiting for the 3rd edition before diving in. Great to see a new player guide, super useful
This is my first foray into Bolt Action. Looking forward to it!
Thanks for posting these. I've been thinking diving into Bolt Action for awhile. Videos like this is really helpful in making my decision.
Always happy with some Bolt Action content. Looking forward to playing V3 myself.
My little gaming group is enthusiastic to move over to 3rd ed and nearly everyone has pre-ordered the rulebook. Afraid I'll have to wait a while before I can afford to jump in but these videos are really good to give me an idea about the changes in the new edition.
Just picked up the rules pdf last night so will be watching a lot of the battle reports and guides that will be out
My book comes in tomorrow. Cannot wait to get started. Thanks for the great videos.
Great report, always loved the idea of doing the Ardennes !
As a newbie with 2 games with 800points army's under my skin, this is by far the most catching game by far, lots of action and pretty easy to learn.
Love the game, 👍
The new edition makes the fights much more interesting. In this battle, even if the Germans seemed at a disadvantage at first, they still managed to turn the tide of the battle. Congratulations on the presentation!
love bolt action. just awesome to create futuristic battles or replay some famous ones. great tutorial video.
Been listening to a lot about the game on Cast Dice podcast & looks incredibly fun. Thanks!
New to this game here. This video explains it very well, and makes it interesting
Oh, the first how to play video on the third edition? AWESOME! Thank you so much for this nice introduction!
Love it! Especially since I started with the 2nd edition but was only able to play only two games, so not enough to actually take the rules to heart too much 😅❤🎉
Thank you for breaking down the basics. I can’t wait to play my first battle in third edition.
Just starting to get into Bolt Action and this game is whats needed for my WW2 fix.
This is a game system I've been interested in for a long time. Nice to have a How to play!
Great video as ever. Looking forward to BA3, the addition of cover saves makes it much more interactive for both players rather than having the cover baked in to the firing unit’s stats.
Thanks for playing guide! I am excited to get my Greeks & Italians onto the tabletop
I started playing Bolt Action 2nd Ed with a US 101st Airborne force, and loved the game!!! I already have 3rd Ed preordered from Warlord's onine store, looking forward eagerly to receive it and start playing!!!
Glad to see the new Bolt Action content.
Thank you for doing these reviews and plays. It gives a nice idea of what one is getting into.
I can’t wait to try v3. I wished that there were more Bolt Action players in my area!
This looks very fun. Because of u guys i started getting in blood and plunder. And this looks also very tempting to try out with the newer starter sets. Keep up the good work and keep having awesome plays 😊👍
Still the best game!! Price, style and gameplay, ticks all the right boxes. Excellent video as always!!!
Really looking forward to playing. This is what we have been waiting for. Good job Warlord
Really looking forward to start playing bolt action, I even got into a miniature painting course on college recently
The game just gets better and better. I can't wait for my first game of V3!
Great introduction, really easy to follow for a beginner like me! Can't wait to get my set and get cracking!
Love 3rd Edition. Definitely more streamlined. I hope they bring out an update for their Firefight rules like they did for Rattenkrieg .
It's a brilliant game and love Version 3. Seen alot of people crying about it but that was way before they'd seen the new book. They really need to give it a chance and embrace change. Nice little battle report too by the way lol
Always great content you guys make.
Your videos are great for both casual as well as competetive players

Greetings from Canada. This is my first time watching your channel. Thanks for explaining Bolt Action 3!
Excited to jump into Bolt Action with the new edition, starter set looks awesome!
I´ve been thinking about getting into Bolt action for some time. Great to be able to get some introduction to the new edition.
Great to see the 3rd Edition in action! Thanks
