bolt action modern
bolt action is a surprisingly robust and addicting game that can be adapted to a number of different styles and eras. while there is some support for an alternate reality mode in K’47 and a next war mode in Korea, there isn’t anything that fits the scale of more modern conflicts. with some demand, there are those who have made updated rules to which I’ve based this on. Jay White of JAy’s Wargaming Madness Blog started this and I’ve adapted and updated some of these rules to 3rd Edition Bolt action, and started work on a list builder.

As of right now, I have the following nations ready to be added to the list builder:

To be added:
■ China
■ Germany

■ Insurgents
■ japan
■ NATO/UN

This list builder is not a priority. It’s only being worked on between certain book releases and main bolt action updates, which are determined on a request from the discord. bolt action v3 is done, then we’ll work through modern at a much more regular pace.
