BOLT ACTION - BIG BUST UP[/


After playing an enjoyable intro game with Simon last night, where I realised that though the rules are simple I had to check a load of stuff, conclusion was we need to do our rules-homework and then have another game... so.

Tuesday 29th - plan...

Germans = Paul + Steve + Mick
v
RoW = John B (Yanks) + Simon (Japs) + Stu (Brits)

+ Justin (sorry forgot army) + ???? (even numbers players not essential).

In a 'Bridge over the River Why?' scenario.

In an alternative history on a mythical Pacific Island the Germans and RoW have been fighting for this damned bridge - now known as 'Why?'. It is stalemate and both sides are down to their last few desparate squads. Both sides are asking for reinforcements. Look-out! Incoming! The British paras send in some squads as do the German Fallschirmjagers.

6 x 4 table, long river, one big bridge, set up on both sides some woods and couple buildings. Both sides set -up except paras.

Both sets of paras then land in completely random locations and we start pulling dice from the bag!!!

The objective is just to have 2-3 units each and have an intro bash where we all learn the basics of the rules and hopefully more interest to play some more.

NOTE - Stu has said he'll do a SAGA intro with DAn - I note GAZ is after SAGA, maybe Gaz and Dan SAGA?

Also Paul and Steve Fantasy Campaign is a red-herring. Ignore that.

Are you up for it!!!???

Meanwhile I will go through the rules again!

Sorry just noticed post on Bolt Action.

I'm up for it.
