Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel and the twelfth video in the Bolt Action Basics series. In this video, we are going to be looking at mortars and spotters in games of Bolt action and how these are used.

In games of Bolt Action, mortars fire indirectly which means a different firing process is used when compared to infantry or vehicles firing. In this video, we will be looking at two examples – firing without a spotter and firing with a spotter.

As with the rest of the Bolt Action Basics series, the videos are intended to be a very basic overview rather than a detailed analysis. I would always recommend picking up a copy of the main Bolt Action rulebook as this will expand on the areas of the game covered by this video and the rest of the Bolt Action basics series.
