Title: Bolt Action US Airborne
Post by: Duke Speedy of Leighton on 08 September 2020, 01:51:49 AM
A few years ago, this boxed set was left with me as an unclaimed prize after a Milton Keynes Campaign competition. This year, I finally caught up with their owner, and we decided that I could keep the figures. So, as the last, great lockdown project, I decided to build and paint them, add a few command figures and support weapons...
Well, actually, rebulding the kitchen has actually become the last great lockdown project, but hey ho, here are some US Airborne...

So, now I've done them, what do I do with them?

Nice 8). As you got them gratis, you could sell them and donate the proceeds to charity? Or you could get some Germans to fight against!

Nice stuff. The rules are terrible though. Strangly the same engine works well with Erwhon

Don't think I'd want to be the loader when the other guy presses the 'shoot' button . . .

Otherwise, very nice indeed.

The rules are good for a laid back game among friends really, just don't expect a simulation.
