Bolt Action Star Wars Conversion Rules

[zemjw]

I thought someone had metioned using Bolt Action for Star Wars here recently, but don't see anything obvious.

Jay's Wargaming Madness blog posted some stuff the other day - link - that may be of interest to folks here.

I have no affiliation with the blog, just noticed it popping into my RSS feed. Apologies if this is already being discussed somewhere.

I have to say, the best Star Wars rules conversion I've seen is using the Frostgrave rules - the wizards as Sith/Jedi.......I think they all had a spell as standard to represent the saber, don't ask which as I don't know......the apprentice as a, well apprentice, and the general troops and weapons rebadged to a more universe appropriate title.

If I liked Star Wars (I'm not a fan generally), I'd have been all over that as it looked very very well done.

Strangely that's what we tried out at the club this week, Bolt action Star Wars, one of the members has a pile of the plastic pre-painted figures and was keen to try it.


The game worked OK it just a case of figuring out weapon ranges, abilities and special rules for the unique things for the Star Wars settings.

Interesting that you mention using Bolt Action with Star Wars.

I was thinking exactly the same thing!

Fantasy Flights figures for Legion are very nice but I am not 100% sold on the rules.

Bolt Action seems to offer a very good framework

For anyone looking at adapting BA for SW, you want to get the Konflict 47 version of the rules. Has Rules for Walkers, Troops in Armour, Robots and enhanced humans with special rules that could work for wookies and aliens.

Great point.
