Axis vs. Allies

Hey everyone! In the upcoming weeks I plan on going through the forces of Bolt Action and give some descriptions as well as gameplay mechanics. This will be more restricted to Bolt Action and not Tank Wars because, while they are part of the same game (similar to Warmachine/Hordes), there are differences. If you would like to know more about Tank Wars, comment below and if there is enough interest I would be more than happy to do another set of posts geared towards Tank Wars. Andrew and I will also start covering gameplay, in general, of Bolt Action to give you a better understanding of how the game is played and the best place to start if you want to get involved such as costs, starter sets, activation dice, etc. (WARNING: I will not be held liable for the amount of money you will want to spend on Bolt Action!) 

If you have any questions or comments, leave them below and may the dice gods be in your favor!

  1. I didn't realize Tank Wars was separate. If it's like WarmaHordes, that's awesome. I was thinking it was more like the old 40k Spearhead rules from a few years back, but I like the Privateer Press model better. Even Battlefront's era system is better than anything GW has vomited forth for the last decade.

  2. Yeah, it is a really good system that Warlord has created. I can post more about the differences but in Tank Wars, they have changed the force organization to tanks instead of infantry. Your HQ is actually a tank and to make a platoon you would need to take 2 more tanks. You can still take infantry in Tank Wars but they are not required. In Bolt Action, you are geared towards a force organization of platoons of required infantry where in one platoon you can take only one tank. So, in Bolt Action if you want more tanks you would need to take multiple platoons. It is like Warmachine/Hordes in a way where you can use infantry and tanks in both games but can also each be a game in its own. Just not where you have a fantasy and sci-fi themed game that you can play against each other, if that makes sense?
