I guess that's fair (if the 6+ / roll 4+ rule is in play).<br /><br />If the baseline is light armor, unarmoured troops could be at a penalty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-67564752618816588082012-10-10T10:39:14.537-05:002012-10-10T10:39:14.537-05:00@joe5mc - I just threw together some quick stats f...@joe5mc - I just threw together some quick stats for the infantry, and for the armour I looked for equivalents. The T-620, for example, was armoured like a Tiger I. The gun on the Leman Russ Vanquisher was on par with a Panther etc.<br /><br />The infantry are all lightly armoured, so we did not account for that, but it would be very easy to add "pips" to reflect armour values that would be over and above the current rolls to inflict a kill on green/regular/veteran troops.<br /><br />I think the Bolt Action game engine is very elegant and straightforward - I recommendt it highly!Greg Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090722688748673409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-36141561574584370492012-10-10T08:36:01.884-05:002012-10-10T08:36:01.884-05:00Great write-up, and good to see those new figures ...Great write-up, and good to see those new figures in action. I had considered using Bolt Action for sci-fi. Did you just use straight substitutions (WWII US Rifleman becomes FutureKom rifleman) or did you make some changes to make it more 'sci-fi'. I guess all of your troops were lightly armoured. I just wonder how you'd handle heavier body armour.joe5mchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13381588340232280771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-90408788795670301322012-10-06T19:22:11.783-05:002012-10-06T19:22:11.783-05:00Fun game and great write-up, Greg!

It's quite elegant and lends itself well to multi-era games.Dallashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816655312205569168noreply@blogger.com
