1942 - Desert War - 15mm Bolt Action
« on: May 04, 2013, 11:10:57 PM »
I like this rule and I do not play it right now. This time it is against Boris 90th leichte afrika division. But surprise is 15 mm, so you can also play Bolt Action 15 it is! For the occasion I play my 8th army, it will take a good thrashing ... But there will be a rematch! + / -1200 Points. Now the photos ... Sorry for my english




























Edit:
removed visible swastikas.

Great board and great looking game!  :o

My club plays BA exclusively in 15mm and we love that scale for it. Currently we all have 1944/45 Western and Eastern front forces but a few of us have discussed wanting to do North Africa.

I must third the remarks by Slayer and vonplutz. That game is the complete package of boards and figs!  :-*

That's really cool! I have a few Flames of War blisters lying around, this might be the solution for them ;)

Did you change anything in the rules or just use them as they are?

This is why my club did 15mm since almost everyone had leftovers. No changes made, the ranges work really well for 15mm.

Looks superb 8) Stunning miniatures, armour and terrain :)

 like the idea of gaming WW2 with single based 15mm miniatures :) and have been basing a lot of my 15mm collection in the same way but have not decided upon a rule set to go with them yet. Will now give this rule set a look over :)

Thats a really good setup you have.
I like the density of terrain to figures.

Shame about the swastika edits. I don't get it. Its history.
Its like showing a klu klux klan photo and editing out all the hoods.
I came, I saw, I went home again..

Thank you all, we just all distances divided by 2. Geoffb, my apologies but I did not understand the question. It is the fault of my poor English.

This is a German site, by the way, swastikas or any other NAZI emblems are not permitted, that's not the moderators' fault, its against the law.

Lovely terrain and figures, by the way.  :o

I was soing to paint the Afrika Korps armband on my 28mms, but I gather that they weren't worn in the field.  ???
