Micks buildings - Sarissa Precision |
On Wednesday I gave Mick his first game of Bolt Action. Mick used his German Grenadiers and I used my 14th Army British both at about 600pts.
Micks list was all veterans:
2nd Lieutenant with 2 men, one squad of 10 Infantry with 2 SMG, 2 Assault Rifles, 1 LMG, 1 PanzerFaust and 5 Rifles, one squad of 10 Infantry with 2 SMG, 3 Assault Rifles, 1 LMG, 1 PanzerFaust and 4 Rifles, one MG-42 and one 8cm Mortar with spotter.
I used a regular list of:
2nd Lieutenant with 2 men, Forward Observer with 1 man, three sections each of 1 SMG, 1 LMG and 8 Rifles, Light Mortar, Vickers MMG and Recce Carrier.

Germans advance into the buildings |
We laid out a selection of terrain, mainly a village with a t-junction, a lot of fields and some woodland and rolled up the Demolition mission, I placed my objective, Mick placed his and then we deployed half of our forces each and had at it.

British secure their side of the village |
We were soon ensconced in the respective halves of our villages and a fierce cross-street fire-fight was taking place although I soon lost a section but the German squad facing them was soon racking up the pin markers. One of my sections came on from a flanking maneuver and took out the MG-42 and was soon rapidly advancing on to the German 'base'.
Committing some reserves I was winning the firefight in the village, but Mick threw a super rally roll on his squad with 6 pins and was soon back in the fight. On turn six my flanking squad was very close to the German base and only had a single pin, but against the odds the first two dice out of the bag were German, another two pins on my unit, and they fluffed their move onto the objective - a Draw!
Mick certainly enjoyed the game and is keen to have another go. Maybe it's time for a small Bolt Action campaign or league at the club.
