Would it be possible to use the Bolt Action rules for the Anglo Boer War. Also I have based my miniatures on 40mm square bases, 2 figs per base. |

Absolutely perfect for representing the Boers ability to fire from great distances. I cannot think of a better set. |

Yes, works fine. Our club has looked at SF, modern, Vietnam, cowboy, NW Frontier and Pony Wars variants so far. The rules are eminently portable as far as periods are concerned. |

Yep – they are so bland and generic put any figure you like on the stand…. |

Sorry, didn't mean to be so snarky. I've played them several times and to me they felt so "fast play and streamlined" as to be fairly insubstantial. |

Hi David I'm interested that your club have tried Pony Wars in Bolt Action because I have had similar ideas of using a variation of bolt action or Saga. How did it go? Phil |

Thank you all. Will get the rules when I have got a few more miniatures painted. |

We like BA a lot. We've played CrossFire since they came out & find BA a pleasant change. None of us EVER looked at Warhammer or 40K or anything remotely like that, we are all in our 50's(too old & don't care for fantasy/Si-Fi) so we have no biased opinions. One more thing, we have 3 new players(one, an attractive 25 year old woman, it's true…) who really enjoy playing BA & none of them had EVER played a wargame of any kind! There are some very good points to the game, you don't have to use the point system if ya don't wanna for one. I could go on but…

Hi, I'm a little late in adding to this topic. But if anyone is still looking at it and have played with variant rules for BA, I for one would appreciate it if you could publish any house rules used for the different periods played. John |
