Here are a few pictures of my last 20mm Bolt Action game, the forces we were using are a small selection of my British and Germans, I use 20mm figures when I want to get lots of stuff on the table.
The table is set up as “a village somewhere in Normandy” using my terrain, most of which is scratch built, I probably have enough buildings to set up a small town, including a large ruined church and grave yard.
I will post pictures of my buildings some time, with some work in progress shots so you can see how they are made, but for now here are some shots of the game.

Interesting to see Bolt action in 20mm .
I intend to try out Africa Korps v 8th Army .
Cheeper and space friendly when yo have a smaller table .Are there any drawbacks in using 20mm ?
Hi Doug,
I don’t find any drawbacks in using 20mm figures in Bolt Action, in fact it seems ( to me anyway ) better!
I have seen some people alter the rules slightly for the smaller scale, things like adjusting the ranges and movement, but I never do, I think it all works well in 20mm.
But I guess if you use a play area smaller than a 6ft x 4ft table then you may have to change the ranges down a little, what I have seen done is change the ranges to centimetres ( I don’t know if this works or not, or if it effects the game play at all )
I do play using 28mm figures as well, but my forces in that scale are slightly limited in numbers and variety unlike with my 20mm stuff where I have loads and as you say it is cheaper in 20mm, oh and I also have a load of terrain in that scale
