    I've almost finished painting my Italian Bersaglieri starter set for North Africa and I absolutely love them. As for their rules, the upcoming Case Blue book is said to have new replacement rules for the Italians and I hope they're good ones. I would love to hear your thoughts about the upcoming French set. I honestly think its a good set, but it would be better if the MMG was replaced with a second AT gun or an artillery gun to make use of their national rules.

    I got started by getting invited to a demo and winning product in a raffle. the game shop staff went "We all know you're going to play Marines, so just pick the Sherman!" so I did, and went with the USMC box set. Wished it had come with the water cooled rather than the air cooled MMG, but that's a minor quibble.

    Do you have to play in time periods? What’s a reinforced platoon?

    • @redacted5406
      @redacted5406 Рік тому +2

      No, the various books give you basic army rosters as well as the rosters tied to specific battles or eras. A reinforced platoon is infantry squads (think troops + HQ), and then the tank/armored car/artillery/etc fighting in concert with that infantry platoon. Larger focus on infantry. There is also a Tank War ruleset supplement with more of an emphasis on armor and vehicles.

  • @comradezy

    You mixed up the soviet starter ones. The 1940-43 is the expensive one tied with winter and it's the regular one that's cheaper. Would that change your recommendation?

    I think you got your Soviet starters the wrong way around. The regular starter set with the mortar is the cheaper one, and that's the one you showed images of. The 40-43 starter set is more expensive but the one you described.

    • @comradezy

    • @Featherus_
      @Featherus_ Рік тому

      @@comradezy they’re both worth it. It depends on what flavour of army you want. The main difference is the tank and mortar. The earlier war T34 will be fine for most games with the later one possibly being overkill. But the mortar in the later war set is a far more useful unit than the Medium Machine Gun.
      They both build 1000 point lists too. All BA starter armies do.

  • @quasar8898
    @quasar8898 8 місяців тому

    Starting Factions are much more limited than you make it sound. Since you need the rules, template, pins and order dice- your only realistic choices for starters is one of the three starter packs- BOB, Gentleman's or Pacific. So, your starting Army is pretty much going to have to be one of those contained in one of those sets. US Paras, German Grenadiers, USMC,Japanese or 8th Army.

    Is bolt Action sort of a closed Ecosystem games, or is it accepted for people to just roll up with any historically accurate minis of the correct scale?

    • @comradezy
      @comradezy Рік тому +2

      Afaik you can roll up with basically whatever. The rules aren’t for specific units but rather the weapons they have. So any riflemen will do. Many people kind of just use whatever bolt action or flames of war minis and just play. It’s much looser than like warhammer.

    Any chance of covering minors? I am very curious what minors are included, I've heard Finland and I think even Hungary mentioned? Really hoping for Poland and China.
    China because I love Pacific/Bhurma/etc, and they had such a wild assortment of early weapons from everyone.
    Poland because of all the domestic equipment that still performed well despite substantial limitations (in no small part due to German mistakes)
