Some old stuff.

 Since I am still concentrating on the paper ships I thought I would post some old images that never got posted.

From 2015 some Bolt Action.







Some Conan from 2017.




And some Lion Rampant from 2017 with 15mm little mans.








Well I'm going to have another ship battle tonight, British against French, it should be good.

Stay safe.

Another game and time for a change.

I've been playing some more Bolt Action. Here is a US armoured platoon breaking through a German infantry platoon with Panzerschrecks and Panzerfausts and a brace of PaK 40s.

 After a very effective preliminary bombardment the yanks hurtle forward.
 Five Sherman tanks and two infantry squads mounted in halftracks.
 The Germans were dazed as the attack came in but this PaK 40 managed to wreck a Sherman.
 The Panzerschreck teams accounted for two more Shermans.
 That's four pin markers on this squad. I counted an oil drum as two and a casualty figure as one.
 The German HQ in big trouble. 14-8 victory to the Americans.
 A Corgi halftrack with a Warlord Games plastic crewman.
 Westwind Germans.
 A Corgi Sherman tank.
 When I came downstairs I snapped a Goldfinch on our feeders.
 A bonny little fella.

After the game I packed everything away and will now attempt some modelling and painting. My painting has been negligible over the last couple of years and it's high time I got some work done. My gaming space is my painting space so it is one or the other, after months of playing games I think I'll enjoy being productive for a change.

Bolt Action on a small table.

I've had myself a few games of Bolt Action and managed to play them on my 4x3 foot table. I have thoroughly enjoyed the games, the drawing of dice is ideal for solo play.

This game scenario was called Demolition from the Bolt Action v.1 rules and is a "capture the flag" game where each side has to take and hold the others command post to win...

 The German HQ, the unit is in ambush stance.
 The US command post is in a ruined church, in the tower is a spotter.
 For a mortar team.
A US jeep armed with a MMG charges up the road to attack the German HQ.
 But the HQ unit has SMGs and a panzerfaust which make short work of the jeep.
 Germans take cover.
 The left flank US squad is under heavy fire.
And gets more and more pinned down.
 The second jeep with a HMG flanks a German squad.
 
 But also ends up wrecked by enemy fire.
Then the German motorbikes fly down the road for the American HQ.
 This squad is pinned down.
 The Germans get off their bikes, take the HQ but are killed by the US command unit. So near but yet so far!.
 The US mortar takes out the Spandau defending the German HQ leaving it unoccupied.
 A US squad takes out the German HQ unit.
 Regroup forward.
 And on the next turn take the objective.
Then they lay down some devastating fire on a German squad to win the scenario.

Here are a couple of shots of tanks that weren't in this game, I love tanks...

 A Corgi Panther repainted.
A Tamiya M10 with some Warlord plastics as crew.

A good game, I may upgrade to version 2. I must play it more often.
