Ep.65 Armies of Germany V3 | Bolt Action Podcast

Tabletop Tommies

In this episode, Jonny and Phil take a break from their alphabetical Armies of series to dive into the exciting new release of the Armies of Germany for Bolt Action V3. This special episode thoroughly examines how the new book introduces changes to the national special rules and units since the release of the main rulebook in September. They discuss the impact of these changes on gameplay, including the introduction of inexperienced officers, the new Panzer Ace rule, and the defend the fatherland options for various units.

The episode also explores the organization and special rules of different German units such as Fallschirmjäger, Waffen SS, and Gebirgsjäger. Jonny and Phil also reflect on the absence of certain elements like detailed theatre selectors and ponder how these could have enhanced the thematic gameplay. They express their concerns about the competitive scene, where they speculate that Germany might become a dominant force until the release of other nations' books.

Tune in to get an in-depth look at the new features and changes in the Armies of Germany book, understand their implications on both thematic and competitive play, and hear Jonny and Phil’s thoughts on what this means for the future of Bolt Action.
