Nice details on your terrain, pumpkins, sheep, pigs, etc. Also a well muddied 38T.

Well done!

Thanks! I'm going to strip that 38 - came out too weathered. Overdid it...  :'(

Those farmland animals were just hanging around, and make great objectives. All based to be removable in the event of people or things occupying their space. There's a stand of chickens, too!

Hey, thanks!  :D

Bolt Action are good. Not great. There are some fun elements, and there are some things that make me go ... "huh?".

They are simple, and for that I like them. Definitely worth the price, especially since you can get them from Amazon (or Chapters here in Canada) for like 35% less than retail. Very affordable.

I haven't tried Chain of Command or Battlegroup Kursk/Overlord yet. I will likely try Battlegroup when Barbarossa comes out!
