Well that was interesting, it was a game that I don’t think my opponent and I will forget in a hurry… Bolt Action is always fun against the right opponent and mine this time is definitely the right opponent, like me he hates the idea of tournament play and big horrible nasty armies built with just [Read more...]
I had a Bolt Action game at my club last night using my Germans, it was going to be four people playing so I split my 1,000 points into small units and a couple of little vehicles, my opponent did a similar list. My opponent brought down some of his lovely scenery for the game, so the battle [Read more...]
I put on a “first” game of Bolt Action for a new member at the club last week, as it was his first game of Bolt Action I decided that it should just be a simple meeting engagement, that way it would give him time to learn what his units do and to learn the rules rather than having to concentrate on [Read more...]

I have a problem with too many counters for wounds and pins etc. on a wargames table, they spoil the look of a good table, and always look a bit odd in photos, maybe it’s my OCD kicking in but I really don’t like them, I have been using coloured tiddly-winks and have really hated them. So, I [Read more...]
I found a couple of spare hours over the Christmas break so started going through a couple of boxes of half-finished projects and came across some buildings I had started making a while back, these buildings were for me to use with my 20mm WW2 figures. I found that I needed more buildings to [Read more...]
