Yesterday with Sławek „Papiór” we played a game related to Warlord Games campaign Critical Hit. We used selectors for 1942′ and our game was in less urbanized area of Stalingrad. We played our game with platoons worth 1,000 points.
45 mm gun controlling whole crossroads.Flame thrower team did a lot of job, unfortunately for Russian side.Pionieers had to leave they car.BA-3/6 tried to kill flame thrower team but without success.NKWD bravely charged pionieers…… then last one jumped back.Russian scouts did good job here.
Summary: – after six turns we rolled for turn seven – but I rolled three and we finished. Victory belonged to Germans, it was 20:10. Many thanks for Sławek for great game!
Yesterday in Bolterwe played with Daniel our early war disputes – a battle fought beetwen Finnland and Red Army during Winter War. Our game was classical meeting engagement when more numerous Red Army supported by armoured vehicles assaulted on Finnish platoon composed of many veteran soldiers.
We added possibility to ram fences with trucks – movement outside of village was possible for non tracked units only with Advance order. Of course Finns knowing terrain were able to Run. Our game was on 1,000 points per side.

Summary: – thank you Daniel for great game! Your return to Bolt Action is one of the greatest thing of last weeks! – we played six turns and we rolled for turn seven, but without success. – victory belongs to Daniel and it was 6:3.
Daniel, I propose to play scenes from Talvisota movie – two tables, line of trenches, a lot of Russian tanks and infantry and on the other side Finns defending they own soil. I guess that Łukasz would like to join. We need more T-26 and more Red Army soldiers with rifles.
Finally I managed to paint Cirion for Middle Earth SBG from Games Workshop. Original set is avaible here and I have to paint Beregond which is part of this blister pack. I’m happy that one more model joined ranks of painted miniatures and left box of shame.
Today I’m not sure what I did with my phone, but finally I had to do those photos grey. We played with Maxim on 900 points in Bolter on veteran Friday evening.

Summary: – thank you for one more great game Maxim. – today there were one more game in Bolt Action and one more in Chain of Command – both systems are just different, both have pluses and minuses, both are good rulesets.
Light tank of Russian Red Army – used for scouting roles, defence of HQ and similar roles. More than 8,000 were produced – more about it HERE. Model ordered and bought in Bolter, design by Warlord Games – really good resin tank.
