Roman K. 

Great value for money. Plenty of symmetric and asymmetric missions plus rules for individual factions. 5/5

Velmi dobrý poměr cena/výkon. Spousta různých symetrických i asymetrických misí a pravidla pro jednotlivé frakce. 5/5

The Boarding Actions supplement lets you play 40K battles at a smaller 500-point scale, which naturally take less time than standard 2,000-point army clashes. The book contains updated missions and rules that previously appeared in the Arks of Omen expansion series for the ninth edition. Since it is essentially a reprint, you get a hefty tome for your money, which is not exactly common for GW products. What is common, however, is the binding falling apart after just a few uses.
The rules section itself is very short, only adjusting specific mechanics for fighting in the claustrophobic corridors of spaceships (e.g., opening/closing doors), while the rest remains identical to the core rulebook. This means you don't have to learn a new system like you would for Kill Team, which has diverged significantly from the main ruleset in the new edition. Boarding Actions is a logical alternative for small skirmishes where every soldier counts—provided you want to stay in the Grim Dark universe.

The core of the book focuses on the missions themselves, their setup, detachments, and stratagems. These differ fundamentally from the main rules, so you won't escape the studying. You'll find detachments for all armies here, including those you'll never use. In my opinion, Boarding Actions detachments should be part of the codex, similar to Crusade and Combat Patrol.
The catch is that for the scenarios to work as intended, you really should buy the special modular plastic terrain from GW. Ideally two boxes if you want to dive into narrative play. That is not a small investment. Of course, there are alternatives, but just be aware that the book and a few models won't be enough. I give three stars for the production quality and five for the game system itself.

Doplněk Boarding actions umožňuje hrát 40K bitvy v malém rozsahu 500 bodů, které pochopitelně i trvají kratší dobu než střety armád na klasických cca 2000 bodů. Kniha obsahuje aktualizované mise a pravidla, které se objevily už v sérii rozšíření Ark of Omens pro devátou edici. Díky tomu, že je to tak trochu recyklát, dostanete za své peníze pořádnou „bichli“, což u GW produktů není úplně obvyklé. Což už obvyklé je, tak skutečnost, že se vám po pár použitích rozpadne vazba.
Samotná sekce pravidel je kratičká, jen upravuje specifické záležitosti pro boj v klaustrofobních prostorách vesmírných lodí (např. otevírání/zavírání dveří), a zbytek je stejný jako v hlavní knize. To znamená, že se nemusíte učit nový systém např. pro Killteam. Ten se v nové edici od hlavní osy pravidel už hodně odchýlil. K Boarding actions je logickou alternativou pro malé skirmish střetnutí, kde záleží na každém vojákovy. Tedy pokud chcete zůstat ve světe Grim Dark.

Gró knihy je pak o samotných misích, jejich přípravě, detachmentech a stratagemech. Ty se naopak od hlavních pravidel zásadně liší, takže biflování stejně neujdete. Najdete zde detachmenty pro všechny armády tj. i ty, které nikdy nepoužijete. Podle mne by detachmenty pro boarding actions měly být součástí codexu podobně jako Crusade a Combat patrol.
Háček je v tom, že aby scénáře fungovaly tak jak mají, měli by jste si od GW koupit speciální modulární plastový terén. Nejlépe dvě krabice, pokud se chcete pustit i do narativních akcí. A to pak není žádná malá investice. Samozřejmě existují i alternativy, ale prostě počítejte s tím, že jen s knihou a pár modýlky nevystačíte. Za zpracování dávám tři hvězdy, za samotný herní systém pět.
