Bolt Action AAR - British/US vs. Germans

[sotek486]

 Great game sotek486 !
 Plus fantastic that you brought 2 more players to BA ! I have the book and really like it,although the main problem here in Portugal is some guys find it difficult to read in English,I am trying to bring more folks into the hobby too...
 Is there a way of having a more simple or just a smaller number of pages to read? That way it might be easier to have some more games here.
 Cheers

Thank you!  Not sure if you saw this --- I almost missed it ... but Warlord released an updated "playsheet" for BA --- the original one was 2xdoube-sided pages and a bit much --- but they've condensed it down into a single page that is double-sided and much easier to use.  You can get the updated playsheet here:

This single sheet has almost everything you need on it to play (other than the unit stats), and made all the difference when teaching the game to the new guys over the weekend ... they picked it up quickly just by using the updated playsheet.  If you are translating the playsheets, it just got a lot easier since there are now fewer pages ... for what that is worth

 Thank you very much sotek486 !
 It looks like a quick read and fire away now!
 These are going to make all the difference and make my job of turning some of my friends here into BA players!
 Really like the 1st book the best so far,and I am getting the Axis Allies asap now,plus the Allies for Early War.
 Again thanks a lot!
 Cheers

Early war stuff is awesome.  I'm expanding into the Pacific theater this year with a large Japanese army and I'll be building a pacific table (lots of Japanese tunnel systems and such) ... should be a great summer project.

Good luck - I'm sure your local gamers will love Bolt Action! :-)
