For some reason, i thought Bolt Action came before Gates of Antares.

It did.

I would be more up for using it if there was a historical version ready to use.

ok, sorry you are right! Bolt Action is older. Several People told me othwise, but It not true.

In our Experience shooting is quite weak. most times only delivering a pin.


Curious. What forces did you use, if I may ask? You think that may have made the difference?
I was charging elite elven infantry into speargobbo's. Losing 1 or 2 models meant only 3 got to fight against the full rank (since spears could be chucked into my charge and than the gobbo's got to fight).
This resulted that I just didn't have the dice to make a dent, even if my target numbers where in my favor.
His wolfriders charging my archers suffered similar fates.

In Bolt action pin markers have a decent impact too. One thing I like about those rules.

Note, it's been a while. I might not have some details straith, but this is the impression it left me with. We tried a few games, but pretty soon abandoned it. It felled like, since warlord had recently purchased some fantasy model series, they quickly needed some rules to go with them.

We played Skaven (strange stuff) against Empire (crossbows) and HYW French (crossbows) against HYW English.
