Bolt Action v.3

 Another double two game afternoon with our visitors.

Game 1: Renfrey's Brits v. SteveD's Japanese

A slow game as the two players learned the rules.  The Brit's two Honey's were the decisive pieces sweeping down on the Japanese right flank.

Jim's Italians v. Chris' Soviets

The Soviets got an early advantage taking out the Bersagileri with a heavy mortar & inflicting serious casualties with long range LMG fire.  But the Italians went down, regrouped & fought back, & about turn 5 the game suddenly turned around into a decisive Italian victory.

More comment on v.3
I've warmed to the saving throws.  They make the maths work well & we are mitigating the killjoy aspect for vehicles by doing the save before the to-kill throw when shooting at vehicles.

I still don't like is the proliferation of command figures & today we house ruled them & Snap-to out.

The minor damage table is an unnecessary complication.  More work for no real gain.
