When I first tried the Japanese in bolt action. I questioned the list I was given "why do I have a tank when I can take more infantry"

16:47 - He didnt block the truck, he removed it from play. Transports cannot survive contact with the enemy. Per the bolt action 2nd Edition Rulebook - " If an unoccupied transport is ever closer to an enemy unit it is removed from the playing table." This is not checked at the end of turn, its immediate as far as I understand it. I dont have my rulebook in front of me though, so I could be wrong here.

Still fun to watch! Nice job.

What a terrible end the poor American tank has made!
Salvo, with his mortar, unlocked the ability "mortar skilled officer"!

Good game and fun to watch. Wouldn't the empty transports be removed when the enemy troops get closer to them than the friendlies?

Great game. Enjoyed watching and you guys know your rules which is always a bonus on one of these videos lol

I dislike the Japanese in BA because it always turns into a Banzai fest. Everyone banzais all the time..constantly..all game long. It’s very overused when, historically, it was a last ditch effort to turn the tide. And the Japanese actually would have liked to keep some guys alive to continue the fight. But in BA it’s always fight to the last man. Warlord needs to tone that rule down a bit methinks.
