Yesterday in Bolter we 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.
