BOLT ACTION 15mm
« on: 31 October 2012, 06:56:47 PM »
Hi There!!
Does the BA rulebook include conversion tables for 15mm or do you just half the ranges??

That said my local club has been playing in 15mm and it works fine.

There are no tables, but also not needed, just play it with individually based 15mm minis and all is fine!
IMO - as in my game Victory Decisision - the ranges look more realistic when played with 15mm minis.

If you want to play on smaller tables simly use cm instead of " and all is IMO.
cheers and keep on gaming, Agis - https://www.adpublishing.de

Using 15mm minis for platoon sized games is definately the most cost efficient way to game WW2.
However I would recommend Forged in Battle - IMO better than FoW!

One platoon pack gave me more than enough for a 500pt squad (what my club is using as a starting point cost). Only downside is I had to buy full mortar platoon to gain one mortar so now, as someone who doesn't play FOW I have a ton of FJ mortars.

In hind sight I should have but I would have had to order them in. Oh well I will try to sell them and if not able to I will just paint them up and switch between mortar teams, or have multiple mortars for big games.
