As the editor of the Mordian Glory channel, we’re also followers of your channel and I would have to say thank you for giving your insight on the competitive nature for the Bolt Action community. Our channel is dedicated to more of the thematic aspects of Bolt Action and we appreciate your own opinions on what might be the better options competitively. Cheers! 😃
@@boltactiontutorialsbybomor3846 As a subscriber and loyal viewer of both channels, you have both disrespected me and the mighty mighty Type 95 Ha-Go and have thus ruined my life, I will now drink my room temperature mug of Rum and cry myself to sleep. I SAY GOOD DAY SAH!
@@sewciopl9159 Agreed, I reckon an easy way to make them better would be to allow cannons to target any terrain piece like they can buildings. It seems weird guys inside a building are more exposed to a cannon shot then guys hiding behind a hedge or wooden fence.
I'm new to the game, but I'm curious as to what in your guys eyes would you like to see from regular tanks in version 3 that will make you want to take them over the current meta picks?
What do you mean wait for 3rd edition and not to buy MORE TANKS!? :D I didn't bought my first tiger yet, he would fit perfect for Tunisia 1943 Who knows maybe Tiger will cost like 300 points
As a rookie I've taken two tanks to three games each (I've played a total of 6 games). Those tanks were the Matilda II and the Sherman II. Neither of them made anywhere close to their points value back throughout the games. Now I'm a fresh-faced beginner, with 6 games under my belt, and I know I haven't squeezed the most I can out of either. However, when you spend an entire game missing or bouncing the Sherman's main gun against a Pz 38, it becomes apparent that the nearly 200 points I spent on it were wasted. Moreover, you can take most tanks out for 57 points with a British list (Reg PIAT team in an Inex Jeep). The Dakka Stuart is *boring*, but it's useful. More interesting and thematic tanks are a Distraction Carnifex at best, and a waste of points at worst.
"Making their points back", i.e., destroying their equivalent point value, isn't the only measure. While a Matilda isn't really worth it (hopefully V3 fixes this), you can still get some use from it by driving it right up in the opponent's face. This can mess up their plans even if it doesn't destroy much.
@@kennyrobson4760 I agree. I think the KV2 is almost useless for its points as a damage dealer, but I can say my opponents spends most of the game throwing the kitchen sink at it, and it also put the fear of God into any infantry within its line of site. Making areas of the table a no-go zone.
Disagree. While a good tank on paper. I find it too big of a model. Due to its size it makes a big target (hard to keep out of site) and I've seen players in built-up areas with a lot of building suffer with taking additional turns just to move around a corner because of its length. I personally field the Dakka T-26A. Yes, there is only two Machine guns, but it's cheap.
I must agree woth you, rule/points/game whise stuart is god tier, cheap, recce and 18 mg dice. As facebook always remember me "It's A iNfAnTrY bAsEd gAmE" so 18 mmg dice are perfect
I was a bit surprised when Mordian Glory (love his channel, and he has great things to say for the game generally) talked about the Brits taking the Cromwell when they have access to the Lend-Lease Program and can take a Sherman with the same armament, same armor, but is 10pts cheaper with Easily Catches Fire (which like never comes up in game). So I feel like if you want a proper tank that is more durable than a vulnerable light tank, you should be taking a Sherman over a Cromwell. Mostly agree on the rest of the choices you make here; I'm personally a bigger fan of the Ho-Ro for the Japanese, though I see why people like the Chi-Ha (I own both because they're good).
The m15/42 is very wrong in bolt action. There is only 1 co-axil mmg in the turret (not 2) It should be a medium tank as the front armour is 50mm Also the 47mm should be a medium anti-tank gun as the 47mm in longer than the other M tanks which gives the shell better penetration
I already emailed warlord about, also because the 75/32 cannon has 3 different profiles, p26/40 just medium at, 75/32 in case blue is medium at/light how and semovente 75/32 Is a heavy at big he
Bolt Action is an infantry game with the other bits in support. 'Big' tanks like Shermans, Cromwells and T-34s rarely do much apart from firing at your opponents 'Big' tank...Bigger isn't necessarily better - remember the phrase it's not how big it is, it's how you use your army that counts :)
Sorry really disagree with the Stuart for British. British struggle with AT in lists as don't have easy AT like Panzerfausts. Therefore a better synergy with the list is a Chappee. Medium AT gun with 2 inch template HE and RECCE. RECCE being the best defence against flamethrowers and Panzerfausts etc. AA Crusader could also be considered better than Stuart verses veteran infantry and pinning a single target.
Consider the low point cost dynamic duo of a Type 95 Ha-Go in the tank slot, and a Type 92 Tankette in the armored car slot. At worst low cost attention getters/trouble bubbles, at best, fast attack vehicles to harass the flanks and get to the rear to kill mortar teams and such.

@@boltactiontutorialsbybomor3846 yes totally agree with you from a competitive approach. That's the good thing about Bolt Action you can play competitive or more historical in equal measure.

Love the editing and goals of the channel!
Here's hoping that v3 brings tanks into the game in a bigger way!
or at least makes the cannons and historically good tanks more useful and nerfs the shit out of historical rubbish dakka tanks.
@@kennyrobson4760 cannons are pretty good, but it's hard to hit a thing

Soviet stuart also gets tank riders 😂

The Soviets get the t-28
Light tank
Turret light howitzer/co-axil mmg and rear turret mmg
Turret mmg forward left
Turret mmg forward right
Pintle mmg.
yes, a valid substitute for the Stuart, but top listst take either stuart or Kat. the T28 is rarely seen

My guy, you should totally do a top ten unit of V2 or do some top ten best tanks of this edition
Pls an ty
@@skyekrichel7621 good idea
Heh, your wish has come true ;)
Whats your opinion on tanks like the Stuh and other armored howitzers?
StuH 42 is one of my go to tanks. The Howitzer is great and it’s all around just fun to put on the table without being way too damn expensive.
I must agree woth you, rule/points/game whise stuart is god tier, cheap, recce and 18 mg dice. As facebook always remember me "It's A iNfAnTrY bAsEd gAmE" so 18 mmg dice are perfect
Am a new player, but it's funny that if the Bob Semple was in the game it'd probably be pretty strong just by virtue of having 6 LMGs.

Tbh the ho-ro might have been the one pickled out. It was a cointoss
Would have been fun to see also the Japanese with the dakka Stuart since they can have it
Nope they cannot. That is ONLY allowed for some theatre selectors
@@boltactiontutorialsbybomor3846 ah really only theatre? My bad

i hate that all people do is have the stuart, and i hope they stop people from taking them.
Let's see what V3 brings
Veteran Lunge Mines....
Or people take Stuart counters.

all valid considerartions, but the tournament listst speak their own clear language. 80% of top competitive british lists run stuarts
I have to disagree. My Japanese will be using a captured Stuart. 😎
Not always available
