Sherman awaiting its untimely fate - nice Bolt Action model with assorted stowage. |
Mike invited me to join him for a game of Bolt Action WW2 rules at the NWS on Wednesday night. Now I have played a bit of WW2 in the past few years with a number of different rule sets namely Kampfruppe Normandy, Battlegroup Overlord and Chain of Command. They are three rule systems I quite like.
However Mike has been playing a bit of Bolt Action and they do seam to be the rule set of choice at the moment around Perth.
Small game with a 1000 points a side of which Mike was kind enough to make up both lists.
American GI's inspect the ruins. Blacktree Yanks from the brush of the talented Paul Darnell and wonderful buildings from the very clever Lev V! Love the upturned furniture and brick dust. |
Mighty American victory in the end. Good job Captain Chuck!
Everyone is happy on the "Ronson" ...that is until Mike has a spree of sixes and brews this baby up pretty quickly |
The Sherman did look good and from the noise you guys were making you were sure having fun.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good game. Very simple rules and probably not for everyone who plays WW2 however Mike and I had an enjoyable night.
DeleteLove your beautiful pictures (and mnis, of course!)...
ReplyDeleteThe terrain and vehicle looks superb. The red brick building and wall in the first picture is wonderfully painted, who makes it or is it scratch built?
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat - buildings all scratch built by the very, very talented Lev V. He has made quite a few of these and the boys at the club are quite chuffed with them. I can proudly say the Sherman is all my work and I have another five that I made up for Kampfgroup Normandy ( now Battlegroup Overlord). Thanks for popping by mate.
DeleteI thought I was doing well with four Sherman's but six is going some. Love all the extras on the vehicle, something I think I should have done.
DeleteI think your mate Lev V should go into the property game with buildings like that.
Cheers,
Pat.
Cheers Pat - I just saw your Shermans and Firefly and have decided I need to go back and add some more mud and battlefield "wear" to my chaps!
DeleteThanks Phil - sometimes it's just great to haul a small box off to the club rather than the massive boxes of yesteryear. Really like these figures.
