Battle Report - Bolt Action 3rd

 Hello Folks,

This past Sunday was a club day some Bolt Action was going on so I decided to head out and give it a go with my US Para. Wasn't a super fan of previous editions, but gotta try it out, plus have been jonesing for some WW2 lately.

End up with the Top Secret mission vs Jeff's Germans. Really I just want to see if the game is fun to inspire pa8nting fresh new troops.



Here's the set uo, couple squads of infantry near the middle, tank on the road, some support weapons on the right. Germans everywhere. Secret plans are the disc right in the middle.


Turn 1 mostly advancing, a few pins and casualties here and there.


Turn 2, feel like the Germans have me out numbered so take a risk to get back in the game. So both infantry move out. Leave my fence to try and get real close and wipe a german squad, thisdiesnt really work. The German cav gets on the plans. If they can get the first dice next turn they can run off, otherwise are in danger. Of course they have allot more dice.


Next turn, the cav runs off. My tank moves up and blasts them ok. Not enough really. Try to pressure with the rest, of my stuff bit not quite enough.

We play another turn, but the Germans are wiping me out so clear win for them.

Found the new edition better tho, the cover adds allot in my opinion. Planning to work on some desert stuff sometime soonish.
