We had a game today with a bit of on fighting , Left and Right Socialist revolutionaries try to sort out who is the most revolutionary.
Martin had the table set up ready to go . His and Andy’s guys on the right . John’s and mine on the left.
Martin wanted to use Bolt Action rather than STEA. The key differences :-
1) BA activation by dice colour and then choose which unit to apply it to , versus specific unit activation by card - both are randomised . BA then need to activate based on morale .
2) There seems to be desire to know exactly how far your units will move (BA ) rather than rolling for it (STEA) and also using officers to to give a move bonus .
3)the to hit d6 working outs are similar , but with BA you need to convert the hits to kills. STEA you are just dead. . STEA treats heavy weopnan / guns, vehicies very differently in terms of damage effects.
4) melee favours the active side in BA , STEA it’s effectively simultaneous.
5) both have a morale system that accumulated losses impact on .

| Set up |
 |
| My new cavalry deploy |
 |
| Our units in the centre |
 |
| We are also looking for campaign character- we find her in this building . |
 |
| Andy’s sailors move toward the wood . |
 |
| My field gun deploys to give support to my advancing infantry . |
 |
| The firing starts - Andy’s gun crew decide to bug out before firing a shot |
 |
| My sailors advance |
 |
| My forces mass and move forward |
 |
| My cavalry advance |
 |
| Advance toward to armoured car and seek cover |
 |
| My cavalry have destroyed Andy’s cavalry and are on his back board . |
Altogether a good game . Somewhat dominated by Andy’s inability to activate consistently which really caused him issues . My dice were pretty good and lots of new units did well .the Left revolutionaries celebrated their victory
I am looking at building a few buildings from scratch for this too . Example ideas below
Always things to do !
