Bolt Action

Bolt Action is one of those games that looks really good but I just don’t play enough. Too many games, not enough time.

In an attempt to put that right, we had a large game, pretty much ignoring the force construction rules, so we could try out lots of different units again and remind us how it works.

Two Shermans on the American side did not last long, leaving the German armour to do what they wanted.

The American infantry advanced using ever bit of cover available.

As did the Germans, this is not a game to get caught out in the open.
An armoured German Nebelwerfer was hard to kill, but also had trouble hitting targets. The Panzer IV and the Marder had a much better day.

German artillery got itself into a good position and was able to drop shells onto the Americans.

American Bazooka unit got a shot off  against the German armour but failed to hit. Twice.

An American flamer did get a hit on a German armoured car and caused it to promptly retreat. But that was not before the armoured car took out an American halftrack.

More US infantry advance towards the German lines.

An American HMG team were largely ineffective and spent the entire afternoon exchanging bursts with a German HMG team.

The Americans decided to retreat and the day belonged to the Germans.

Bolt Action is good game that really must come out more often.

Anti Aircraft Battery

The last of the Zinge Industries and Curious Constructs Kickstarter models I have painted recently are a couple of anti-aircraft batteries.

The Prussian Scrunts will need these to counter the squadron of Imperial Regency aircraft coming their way.

Prussian Army

Now that the infantry are finished, I thought a shot of some of the army would be appropriate, so here are a couple of Ramshackle Stug Pugs with some of the Prussian Scrunts.

There is still plenty more to come, especially more vehicles and flying machines.

Prussian Generals

The end has been reached at last, the final few Prussian Scrunts from Bob Olley’s Kickstarter. Here are a couple of Generals planning the next Company picnic.

Keeping an eye on them is the Kaiser himself.

V1 Flight Stand

You have seen the V1 launch platform, well here is the V1 flight stand. Using some long plastic rod and a large flight base, the V1’s can fly high above the battlefield before they come crashing down with a very large bang.

V1 Launcher

The steampunk V1 Vergeltungswaffe Kirschkern Maikäfer Terror Weapon is finished!

The V1 and the launcher are complete with magnets so the weapon will stay in place. It also means it can be placed on a flying stand.

This is from the Zinge Industries and Curious Constructs Kickstarter from a while back, it just takes me this this long to paint something.

The launcher gors really well with the Prussian Scrunts.

Prussian Standard

After hunting around the internet, I found a few flag images that I thought would suit Bob Olley’s Prussian Scrunts. Purely on appearance, I went for the one here.

Looks good in the command unit.
