Hello everyone and welcome back to On Point HQ and the fifth video in the Bolt Action Basics series. In this video, we are going to be looking at how HQ units work in Bolt Action and also the ‘snap to action’ rule.

All platoons in games of Bolt Action are generally led by a first or second lieutenant but higher officers such as captain and majors can be added to the platoon also. In the video, we are going to look at the role that the HQ unit performs, its abilities and how these are used in games of Bolt Action.

In addition to this, we are going to look at how the ‘snap to action’ rule works with a very brief example. This will outline what the rule is, how it works and how this can be used tactically in games to make your HQ units more effective at their role.
