But you could also draw the same conclusions from other game systems also about Bolt Action or any other game. <br /><br />The big things is that there is some guide to how to build forces in every game, points and all usually use a dice mechanics and is just how you apply them is what makes each game different and the genre you use.<br /><br />Bolt Action is simple, has enough complexity to a historical game but not too much to keep it moving. Some people like more detail but also the game drags because of constant looking up of materials and charts.<br /><br />The order dice is very unique and a friend wants to include this into a 40k game to change the dynamics of the game. Instead of I-Go-You-Go that is predictable he likes the unpredictable aspect.<br /><br />Add in that you can play open style (no restrictions) or using a specific time period to fight a true historical battle that is a nice switch to have as an option.styxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10149216774007558819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969960103830229832.post-80757500654764156292014-03-18T07:10:28.445-07:002014-03-18T07:10:28.445-07:00Definitely a strange encounter :-) ! I can't ...Definitely a strange encounter :-) ! I can't make up my mind about Bolt Action. It sounds a little like Warhammer in its approach, with many different types of troops in a typical force.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.com
