New game report: 20mm Americans vs. Germans (17th November 2012)
« Reply #15 on: November 25, 2012, 01:59:45 PM »
Thanks a lot for all the kind comments.

Last week I had the pleasure to host a game of Bolt Action for my 20mm wargaming fellows.

Unfortunately my pool of terrain pieces is rather small and our main terrain builder and collector of German troops rejected near-term. Therefore everything on the table was far from the brilliance of the week before. But nevertheless it was an exiting and funny game we all enjoyed.

It was once again a small battle between German and American forces. We used army lists which were nearly the same as the week before (the actual players didn't know them) and the Americans had to take a small village which the Axis troops were defending.


If you are interested in the whole story and want to know how the decisive attack of the Americans turned out, then feel free to read everything on my blog:

Excellent after action reports. Thank you for sharing.

Have you ever used Iron Ivan's Disposable Heroes rules? I'm kind of curious how they compare.

23rd November 2012: Search and Rescue (Bolt Action, 28mm)

Sorry, I haven't tried Disposible Heroes until now.



Yesterday I executed my tailback and wrote a short game report about another 28mm Bolt Action Game we had last week.


The game was a search and rescue mission within an urban terrain. After his aeroplane was shot down a German staff officer hid somewhere in the ruins of a small city. The American as well as the Germans sent some forces to get that fellow because he was escorting some important, secret plans.

Both sides employed some infantry, some support weapons and tanks:


And of course the Americans fielded an Airforce liaison officer whose air strike should be one of the decisive elements of the game...

If you are interested in the AAR and if you want to know whether the Germans were able to secure their comrades or whether the Americans were able to lay their hands on the plan, then have a look at the blog post here:

I hope you enjoy reading the report as much as we enjoyed playing the game.

Cheers
Stefan
