THE ACADEMY OF STREET FIGHTING

Welcome to Stalingrad in the winter of 1942. A frozen
hellhole blasted to rubble by months of continuous aerial
and artillery bombardment. In the ruins of this once-
proud city, hundreds of thousands of soldiers are fighting a
desperate battle for survival.
Stalingrad became a crucible in which modern
urban warfare tactics were forged. The principles
developed during these battles were refined during
the other urban battles of the war - in Budapest,
Vienna and Berlin.

Hitler’s offensive into Russia has bogged down in the This supplement dives head first into the blasted

tantalisingly close, but out of reach. scenarios for the experimental Firefight! rules.

Both sides attached significant propaganda value to the
city, and capturing it would deliver a decisive blow that
might change the course of the whole campaign.
The Soviets are determined to hold their ground at
all costs, fighting for every inch of the city. Since the
Germans reached the outskirts in the summer, they have
paid dearly for their gains.
These scenarios explore the kinds of engagements
that were fought in the winter of 1942. Help Soviet
scouts infiltrate a tank repair yard, or join an Axis
assault group on a trench raid.

 FIREFIGHT!
TOP SECRET
These skirmish rules allow you to play a different game of
Bolt Action, one that uses a more limited area and fewer
models. Each model acts individually (i.e. it is a unit, as
opposed to being part of a unit) and the scope is limited to
infantry and soft-skin vehicles. Except for that, these rules
can be treated as a light version of the full Bolt Action rules.
FORCE SELECTION
Players create a force using the generic reinforced
platoon selector on page 124 of the Bolt Action
core rulebook or one of the many theatre selectors
printed in our fantastic supplements.
We suggest keeping this force very small – around
200 points or so should be a good starting point.
The only exceptions to the normal force selection
rules are that your force must consist of an officer,
at least one infantry section, and no more than one
specialist team. It cannot include:
• Captains or higher ranks
• Artillery (i.e. field artillery, anti-tank guns and
anti-aircraft guns)
• Armoured vehicles (i.e. any vehicle with an
armour value of 7+ or better)
When purchasing sections, reduce the minimum
size from the usual 5 down to 2.
Use this generic squad selector as a guide;
Mandatory Selections
• 1 Lieutenant - First or Second
• 1 Infantry Section
Optional Selections
• 0-2 Infantry Sections
• 0-1 Medic
• 0-1 MG Team
• 0-1 Mortar Team
• 0-1 Sniper Team
• 0-1 Flamethrower Team
• 0-1 Anti-Tank Team
FORCE SELECTION
BOLT ACTION
For the purpose of this skirmish version, each man
from a squad acts as a ‘unit’ and moves individually.
These units do not have to stay in formation. When
you prepare to play, your force gets one order die for
each model it comprises of.
2
GROUPING FOR ORDERS
An NCO or Officer can command more than just
themselves.
If you choose to activate an Officer then before you choose
an action you have the opportunity to
activate all the individuals within 12” with one command
(pull the correct amount of order dice out the bag) they
must all then be given the same order as the officer in
question and act simultaneously with the chosen action.
An NCO can issue orders in the same way but has a
command range of 6”
ARMY SPECIAL RULES
For reasons of balance and fairness, the only safe way
to deal with these is to say that in games of Firefight,
no army special rules apply, unless the players agree
otherwise.
We assume that at such small scale, the differences
between armies become much less relevant, as these rules
often reflect the effects of training and
organisation at a much higher organisational level.
ENGAGING SMALL TARGETS
As every man is obviously a small target, there is a -1
penalty to all shooting attacks.
The only exception if the designated target is a
vehicle.
MACHINE GUNS
If a weapon with multiple shots successfully hits an enemy
soldier, it may resolve another attack against a different
target within 6”, reducing the number of shots by 1.
The machine gun can keep firing in this fashion until it
misses an attack, or it runs out of shots.
HAND GRENADES
These small explosive devices were often employed to
screen an assault, or break the back of an enemy counter-
attack. It is assumed that all units in
Firefight! have access to hand grenades.
On an Advance or Fire action, a unit may elect to throw
a hand grenade instead. Resolve a 1” HE attack against a
target within 6”.
SMOKE GRENADES
Used primarily as signal devices and to screen
attacks, these handy grenades are an essential part of a
soldier’s gear. It is assumed that all units in
Firefight! have access to smoke grenades.
On an Advance or Fire action, a unit may elect to throw a
smoke grenade instead. Place a 3” smoke cloud anywhere
within 6”. This area counts as soft cover and dense terrain.
TEAMS
If a weapon has the Team Weapon special rule, this rule is
ignored and replaced by the following:
One model is always operating the weapon, while the
other crewmen are armed with rifles or pistols.
When the weapon is fired, if there is a crewman model
within 1” of the firing model (or the weapon itself, for the
sake of aesthetics) who has not yet received an order this
turn, you can declare that the crewman is acting as the
assistant gunner or loader.
When the weapon is fired, place the appropriate order die
next to the model firing it, and an identical order die next
to the crewman that is helping to fire it. This die is taken
from the dice bag, and the crewman’s action is therefore
spent for the turn. If no crewman helps with the firing,
then the weapon suffers a –1 to hit.
In addition, if the model carrying the team weapon is
killed, any crewman of that team within 1” can pick up the
weapon as they would be equally familiar with it (simply
swap the models and remove the crewman model instead).
If the model carrying the weapon is killed by Exceptional
Damage, however, the other crewmen cannot pick up the
weapon and so would continue to fight as a rifleman.
HIGH EXPLOSIVES
HE weapons normally inflict a variable number of hits.
Instead, in Firefight! they inflict a single hit against the
model that they are targeted at, and a single hit against
all models (friends and foes!), within a certain range of
the original target. This range varies with the size of the
explosion, using the templates.
PINNING AND MORALE
If a unit is under fire and a hit is achieved, put a pin
marker next to the actual man who is the target. If
he survives then when he is next activated, he has to
take a leadership check at -1 to be issued the order,
otherwise he must remain down – If the affected
individual is within 6” of an NCO or 12” of an
officer then use their leadership, if higher.
BREAK POINT
When your force has lost half or more of the
models/dice it started the game with, it has reached
its breaking point.
Whenever your force suffers a casualty from then
on (including the casualty that caused your force
to reach the breaking point), you must take a Break
test.
This is the same as a Morale check and is always
taken by the force’s Officer. If the officer is not on
the table, then one of the NCOs will do so. If there
are no NCOs on the table, then the friendly model
with the highest Morale currently on the table will
take the test, but with an additional –1 Morale
modifier.
This Break Point rule replaces the negative modifier
for Morale checks for losing Squad Leaders
explained on page 23 of the Bolt Action rules, which
does not apply at all in games of this type.
If your force passes the Break test, the game
continues as normal. If you fail a Break test, then
your force surrenders, disperses or retreats – you
immediately lose the game.

We’re still working on hammering these rules into shape -
what you see here is still experimental. You may find some
circumstances where things don’t quite make sense. In these

SETUP
The Soviet player deploys their force anywhere in the
marked area.
The German player divides their force into two waves.
The first wave moves onto the table on Turn 1. From Turn
2 onwards, the second wave may attempt to enter the
battlefield using the sewers (see the special rules.)
During this battle, the special rules for night fighting are
in effect. (See Bolt Action 2nd edition page 219-221) We
recommend using the Flare! variant, although players can
roll randomly.
OBJECTIVES
The German player must storm the target building,
neutralising any resistance - they must move as many units
as they can into the defender’s setup zone. The Soviet
player must try and stop them.
PREPARATORY BOMBARDMENT
The German player rolls a die: on a 2+, a preparatory
bombardment strikes the enemy position. (See Bolt
Action 2nd edition page 131) On a 1, the barrage fails to
materialise but the attack must go ahead as planned.
FIRST TURN
The battle begins. During turn 1 the German player
must bring his first wave onto the table. These units
can enter the table from any table edge and must be
given either a Run or Advance order. Note that no
order test is required to move units onto the table as
part of the first wave.
GAME DURATION
Keep a count of how many turns have elapsed as the
game is played. At the end of turn 7, roll a die. On a
result of 1, 2 or 3 the game ends, on a roll of 4, 5 or 6
play one further turn.
VICTORY!
At the end of the game, calculate who as won by
adding up the Victory Points as follows: The
German player gains 3 Victory Points for each
friendly unit inside the enemy setup zone. The
Soviet player gains 2 Victory Points for each enemy
unit destroyed.

 TRENCH RAID
While the Rattenkreig rages back and forth across
the cities, both sides attempt to consolidate on their
modest territory gains. Engineers cut trenches and
build barricades across streets and public parks,
utilising abandoned vehicles and trams to reinforce
their defences.
With the dawn light breaking over the blasted city,
raiding parties sally forth across no man’s land.
Exhausted sentries are excellent targets for capture
and interrogation.
OPPOSING FORCES
The Soviet player is the attacker, stalking across
no man’s land in search of intel. They should
create a 250pt force using the Battle of Stalingrad
Reinforced Platoon theatre selector from Armies of
the Soviet Union.
The German player is the defender, patrolling a
section of the frontline. They should create a 250pt
force using the 1942 - Stalingrad, Death on the
Volga theatre selector from Armies of Germany 2nd
Ed.
TOP SECRET
When creating your forces, make sure you refer to the
special rules presented on page 2. In addition, the following
guidelines apply when using a historical theatre selector.
• The mandatory selections required by the selector are
changed to 1 junior officer and 1 infantry section.
• All additional selections are halved (rounded down)
- 0-4 infantry sections becomes 0-2. 0-2 sniper teams

SPECIAL RULES
RUBBLE
When buildings are destroyed they leave behind a big pile
of rubble. Attackers found that, if anything, rubble was
even worse to assault than the buildings it had replaced;
instead of having obvious doors and windows to cover as
they advanced, they found defenders might be lurking
literally anywhere.
Rubble counts as rough ground for movement purposes.
The plentiful hiding places rubble provides means the hit
modifier it provides for infantry occupying it depends on a
unit’s current orders, as it is very important what a squad is
actually supposed to be doing when they come under fire
inside rubble.
Rubble counts as hard cover when shot across at targets
behind it, but when shooting against a unit that has the
majority of its models inside the rubble, the following
modifiers apply instead of the normal –2 hard cover
modifier.

DIGGING IN
At least half of the German force must be Dug In at the
start of the game. These units must be deployed on the
tabletop at the start of the scenario. Dug In units are still
placed on the table in the usual way, and must be marked
in some fashion to show that they are Dug In – any
distinct token or marker will do.
A Dug In unit counts as ‘Down’ when shot at, even if it’s
not Down (additional –1 to be hit and the number of
hits from HE is halved rounding down). If the unit does
go ‘Down’ while Dug In, the benefits of being Down are
doubled (i.e. –2 to be hit and only one-quarter damage
from HE).
Being Dug In offers no additional protection or benefit
against enemy assaults.
Units count as Dug In until they’re ordered to Advance or
Run. If possible mark the locations of vacated foxholes
and trenches so that they can be re-occupied or captured
SETUP
The German player deploys their force anywhere in the
marked area.
The Soviet player divides their force into two waves. The
first wave moves onto the table on Turn 1. From Turn
2 onwards, the second wave may attempt to enter the
battlefield by outflanking.
During this battle, the special rules for night fighting are
in effect. (See Bolt Action 2nd edition page 219-221) We
recommend using the Dawn Assault variant, although
players can roll randomly.
OBJECTIVES
The Soviet player must capture at least one prisoner - any
unit can capture a prisoner by defeating an enemy unit in
close assault.
Once a prisoner has been captured, it must be extracted by
moving the unit off the table from the Soviet player’s table
edge.
The German player must resist the Soviet assault.
FIRST TURN
The battle begins. During turn 1 the Soviet player
must bring his first wave onto the table. These units
can enter the table from any table edge and must be
given either a Run or Advance order. Note that no
order test is required to move units onto the table as

result of 1, 2 or 3 the game ends, on a roll of 4, 5 or 6
play one further turn.
VICTORY!
At the end of the game, calculate who as won by
adding up the Victory Points as follows: The Soviet
player gains 3 Victory Points for each prisoner
captured. The German player gains 1 Victory Point
for each enemy unit destroyed.

 SABOTAGE
The confused nature of urban warfare allows small
parties to slip through enemy lines and wreak havoc
in their logistical train. Fuel depots, ammunition
dumps and motor pools make excellent targets for
these motivated groups of special forces.
With night falling over Stalingrad, a hand-picked
group of Soviet scouts attempt a daring raid on an
enemy installation. Depriving the enemy of their
supplies could tip the fragile balance of power in the
city!
OPPOSING FORCES
The Soviet player is the attacker, carefully infiltrating
the enemy rear areas. They should create a 300pt
force using the Battle of Stalingrad Reinforced
Platoon theatre selector from Armies of the Soviet
Union.
The German player is the defender, protecting their
vulnerable logistical train from attack. They should
create a 250pt force using the 1942 - Stalingrad,
Death on the Volga theatre selector from Armies of
Germany 2nd Ed.

When creating your forces, make sure you refer to the
special rules presented on page 2. In addition, the following
guidelines apply when using a historical theatre selector.
• The mandatory selections required by the selector are

Units count as Dug In until they’re ordered to Advance or
Run. If possible mark the locations of vacated foxholes
and trenches so that they can be re-occupied or captured
by the enemy later.
SUPPLY & DEMAND
During setup, before any units are deployed, place three
objective markers in the indicated area. These must be
placed at least 6” apart. These markers could represent
artillery guns, trucks, fuel tanks or stacks of crates.
Appropriate models can be used to represent these
objectives, alternatively use a marker (such as a spare base)
at least 40mm in diameter.
DEMOLITIONS
All Soviet units are equipped with demolition charges. If a
Soviet unit is issued with a Down order while adjacent to
an objective marker, they have placed an explosive charge,
which will detonate at the start of the next turn.
When the charge detonates, any unit within 3” of the
marker suffers a single hit.
