New week … new update.
Special rules are discussed and examined

Bolt Action: Third Edition – Special Rules

Yet another update that makes sense. Pruning a list of ‘special rules’ is always good.
Sure it sounds less sexy when your mountaineers get ‘field craft’ instead of ‘mountaineering’, but when the in-game effects are identical it is silly (and confusing) to have multiple rules that have a slightly different name and description.

The +1 for AT guns is an interesting one. Setting up AT guns in ambush will probably be a more useful tactic that could compensate for having to face more vehicles in the new army lists.

btw : I get the impression that v1 to v2 wasn’t such a big change, but I never played 1st so I don’t know if that is true. Could simply be the amount of info that Warlord is releasing.
