In this episode of Tabletop Tommies, Jonny and Phil delve into the evolution of the Romanian armies in the popular tabletop game, Bolt Action, focusing on the transition from version 2 to version 3. They discuss the unique characteristics and tactical opportunities offered by Romanian forces, though noting their limitations in the latest version. Listeners will discover insights on Romanian tactics, with a nod to the best practices from the Fortress Budapest book which made them strong in V2. The hosts share engaging conversation on the viability of Romanian forces, their special rules like 'Axis Support' and 'French Artillery Doctrine', and intriguing yet underwhelming infantry sections. They explore artillery, vehicles, and how these units stack up against competitors. Tune in for a thorough discussion on how Romanian armies can still find a niche in thematic and competitive play despite their challenges. This episode is perfect for both seasoned players looking to adapt their strategies and newcomers eager to understand the dynamics of lesser-known Axis forces. Want to support the channel?
