Bolt Action 3rd Edition Epic Battles -  

It already exists. It’s called “All Hell Let Loose” 6mm WW2 rules. (Available on Wargames Vault). My initial premise was to turn Bolt Action into a 6mm scale game. I pitched them to Warlord just before Covid. They were very interested until they received a copy then they said they weren’t going to do it, because of Covid. I just hope they’ve genuinely done their own version and not nicked my game!

I know they had something like this written towards the end of the V2 book as an idea of how to play larger games, so I wouldn't be surprised if they plan on making it more official in the coming years with V3.

An interesting idea. I would play an epic version.

This would be an easy thing to do because they already have the excellent skytrex models or they could do a marriage with the superb Victrix 1/144 scale or Pendraken

Flames Of Epic 😂😂😂

Warlord Games own Skytrex, who produce a 15mm WWII range.

I would, I have a large collection of 15mm.

I would love to see that. I found FoW to be too cumbersome years ago but I have a lot of 15mm stuff!

Bolt Action in 15mm/10mm/6mm would be great I already play BA and K47 in 15mm

This new release reminds me of WH40k and the Ed 3 release. It followed the demand switching 40k from a skirmish game to an army game where more troops and vehicles were gamed and the rules were not as crunchy. For those who gamed it do you remember the steps for H to H in Ed 2?

Might be willing to play if it uses the same scale as flames of war since I bought two armies back in 1st edition of that and then in my area the game flat out died but I still have the armies. Also need to find people to play with. Plus models at that scale are easy to get hold of by a variety of companies fairly cheaply.

I don’t see them doing that, at least not for quite a while. They have too many 28mm models to sell and splitting their biggest community between scales would suck for the game. They can do it with their less popular games because, let’s face it, if you play a warlord game that isn’t Bolt Action you are in the minority and you probably have a dedicated game buddy or you provide the models for both sides.

Yes, and No, I wouldn't. The table wpu;d have to be epic. If they try to turn this into 40k or Lames of War (sorry, V.4) I'm not really sure whether II'll see it through, or bounce on over to Star Wars Legion. I absolutely love this game so, I would hate to abandon it.

This is for smaller scales then? I want to see rules that make playing the game at bigger scales much more speedy. But no less complicated.. Apocalypse for bolt action so we can have literally hundreds or even thousands a side. Seems fitting given the continent and to some level world shattering nature of ww2. I want to see the true to life effects of squadrons of heavy bombers mass artillery, Or even naval bombardment opening up on hordes of infantry and armour, Give players some kind of idea or feel for the level of devastation that even 80-100 year old hardware can have in a short space of time. With massive dincounted bundles for it on the warlord store w appropriate periphrials.

Flames of war..??🤔

i thought you needed one inf platoon for every other type of platoon in company, so that the force was always half infantry, so one tank, one heavy weapon, and two infantry needed to be legal... am i wrong?
