Bolt Action Battle Report : British Paratroopers vs German Platoon 1200 points, adapted sectors scenario.
Another Bolt Action battle report and this week Rick returns with his beautifully painted German army. The scene is a battle over a water mill in the country side enroute to liberate Paris, France where my 1200 point British paratroopers will attempt to push back the defending German army.
The scenario is based on sectors and awards points for capturing objectives and additional points for each three enemy dice taken.
Watch and see this fantastic battle unfold with a slightly amended scenario, but essentially fight your way to victory, capture the objectives and see who wins!
Another great battle, fantastic board and a few laughs and banter along the way…
…but who will win, watch and see!

@TheGreyWolf94 Жыл бұрын

Tough loss for Rick on this one! I've noticed you've got quite a similar aggressive play style as me, which gives you a lot of board control and options. Whereas most of the guys you play against are quite "cagey" which really gives you quite an advantage. Could have been a different story if that bombardment didn't shread Rick's army apart. Maybe. Great battlerep as always guys! P.s. love the fact Rick, even in summer with his shorts on is wearing his checkered slippers! Comfort is key lol.

@theministryofminiatures Жыл бұрын

Haha yes, my play style is pretty aggressive, I always aim to advance, fire and a unit must do something of value… makes it worthwhile! Also get the objectives is a must. I think my bombardment is just repayment from our last battle when Rick did the same to Me!!! I am also in the process of making a small token so we can have you highlighted in future games as either the officer or team… will be a disc with your name on to highlight who is running you! Hopefully will make sense when you see it. And i simply had to leave his slippers in shot 👍🏻

@user-sx8bd8ds3u Жыл бұрын

Hello, superb table and original scenario. Can you specify if the objectives can be taken by any type of units or only infantry or artillery? Thank you

@theministryofminiatures Жыл бұрын

Hi thanks for the comment. Infantry only, so artillery also… but that means you have to push forward to get to the objectives as quickly as possible! Glad you liked it, we have more planned soon 👍🏻

I play with a guy that has a Wasp Mk II and he also has the light mortar in the back he can sort of make you pay if he hits you with both the mortar and flamethrower at the same time! I have seen it happen twice and the poor infantry didn't stick around long.

@theministryofminiatures Жыл бұрын

That’s fantastic, the wasp is such a great vehicle to take with the British, it has never let me down… we did have one game where it destroyed 3 of Ricks tanks in the game… …some pay back for his multiple muti-rocket launcher armies in other games 😂😂

@@theministryofminiatures I own 8 flammer vehicles in my 4 factions 3 for my US M4A3 Zippo, then a M4A3 CWS 5 with a 105mm with coaxial long barrel flamethrower and coaxial MMG in the turret (you can fire one not multiple weapons from the turret, and also it really has no stats for Bolt Action WWII but it can be used in Korea under the USMC M4A3 flamethrower). Finally M4 Crocodile people go oh a Churchill, and I say no Sherman. Then my Soviets have 3 KV-8, KV-2 and finally a OT-34/85. And finally just a single vehicle a piece for my Germans and Japanese in the form of the SD Kfz 251/16 Flammepanzerwagen and SS Ki engineering vehicle. The SS Ki is nasty as you can upgrade it to the Bo and so have a flamethrower on all 4 facings, front, left, right and then rear.

George from our group made them, they are very hardy and stand up to being knocked around… plus they really do look very good. Between our group we are able to pull together some nice scenery and figures, which is why we decided to share this with others.

It does. Can be a risky strategy especially in kill point missions where shooting a truck that has more than one unit in it. And one or more of those is a small team like say an assault squad of ten with a flamer team for example.

Not a fan of mixing weapon types in units although it is thematic and some times fits the scenario. What I cannot forgive is that you didn't give the Recce Jeeps the extra MMGs - shocking!!! Dropping one LMG would have given you eight more shots for the same 20pt cost...
