Today Paul (and his sons) and I had a chance to play the first game of the 2 game mini campaign we wrote for Bolt Action. We played a 1000pt game using the Envelopment scenario. My US Paratroopers defended against the attacking Fallschirmjäger. Here’s a brief AAR… The air was filled with explosions as the [...]

I’ve talked about the Battle of Bloody Gulch before (here and here) as a setting for a Flames of War campaign. This time around I’m using the Bolt Action rules to focus in on the action, specifically on the defense mounted by Dog and Fox company of the 501st PIR on the morning of the [...]

Paul and I are planning a mixed Flames of War and Nuts! Italian WWII campaign based around Solerno over the summer. These are the first of my 28mm Bolt Action paratroopers from Warlord Games. Owen

Last week @docbungle suggested a good idea – namely, that wargamers/painters do a status update on a Monday of the hobby related things they did over the weekend and use the #miniaturemonday tag on twitter. Here’s my update for this weekend – I finished my Panzergrenadier Lehr Mortar platoon for Flames of War. I cleaned, [...]

I’ve been interested in Operation Market Garden for a long time and the release of Hell’s Highway and A Bridge Too Far gave me a push to paint up some more Sherman tanks to support my US Paratroopers. Saying the tanks are painted as Irish Guards is a bit of an untruth. I’ve not painted [...]
