Excellent report! Lovely photos too.I hope to have a Bolt Action game soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat AAR thanks for sharing. I see you newly build house made it onto the table.
ReplyDeleteGreat report, looks like it was very close there until the German's made a break for Patton there at the end.
ReplyDeleteI have been reading about air and artillery and it seems to be a hit and miss thing for the most part. It sounds like when it works it wrecks units or otherwise has no major impact on the game.
Looks like alot of fun!
ReplyDeleteVery nice AAR !
ReplyDeleteI have the rules but havent tested them yet, probably have to soon...
