Bolt Action v.3

 After Chris returned froma trip to Canberra where he played a bit of BA v.3 we gave it another go.
2 games, both Envelopment scenarios.

SteveJ's Germans attacking Chris' Soviets:

Steve's Neblewerfers decimated the Soviets for a decisive win.

Mark's Germans v. Mike's US:

. They foiught each other to a draw with onlt 1 unit lost on both sides.

I had a full time job looking up the v3 rule book to resolve questions.  The consenus was that while there were some welcome chnages, there are also some serious flaws, including:
- The introduction of saving throws seriously slows down the game & is anoying (you throw good dice then get them negated).
- The new lists requiring more command teams does nothing to improve the game & encourages the use of the cheesy Snap To rule.
- The complication of the superficial damage rule is an unnessary complication.
