Bolt Action in 28mm
http://nosherswargames.blogspot.co.uk/
Nice AAR. Bolt Action never really done it for me, much prefering CoC. Good to know it is good for solo play though.
I know what you mean Steve. Bolt Action is a bit marmite, but i stick with it when I have a burning desire for a game, no opponent to play against and when I'm tight for time.
You can bung together a quick game with very little planning and the games don't take all day to set up and play
Great report Nosher! :)
Nice looking game and a good report :)

Always good for solo :)
I quite like the rules in play, but the scenario selection leaves me a bit cold. And I tend to play in 15mm as a/ it looks better figure to ground scale, and b/ I have lots of 15mm WW2 already, so never got round to single based 10mm ;)
"Turn 4 and the German's pull out the first five action dice."
Ouch. Ouch, ouch, ouch.
I think the special rules for Shermans mostly undervalue them - the Russians reckoned they were much safer and less prone to fire and explosion than the T-34 series etc, the "Ronson"/"Tommycooker" is an image thing from the early no wet stowage, thin sides, oil spraying engine ones that stuck... still, there's no denying a lot of German anti-tank weapons were ludicrously overpowered which doesn't help :D
