Johan was more than happy to play another game of Bolt Action so that I could get a hands on experience. The previous article on the subject with my first impression of the rules ended up being very popular, so I hope that this slightly more informative and informed article will provide equal interest. It's a long post and it's not as structured as my normal reviews - more like a "train of thoughts". I probably didn't cover every aspect of the game either, for instance close combat didn't come into play in our demo, but that was described in my previous post about Bolt Action.

A fair review. Their are a few things that take getting used to in BA.
I for one really like the order system. I think it is a fair estimate of the fog of war.
As to your point on the ranges. I think they are making a compromise for the sake of playability.

Isn't that exactly his complaint - sacrifice "realism" for playability?
