Left Handed Panzerfaust: A BIG Game of Bolt Action

A very talented terrain maker and member of Company of Dice, Paul, proposed a big game of Bolt Action, and a BIG Game we had! Paul hosted this at Company of Dice West.

The scenario was June 1944 D-Day +. It would be Germans vs Brits. It would be played on Paul's magnificent Normandy themed Board. The table size was a massive 12 x 4 feet!

We did not want to game all night so we came up with the following conditions

750 Points Per Player
6 Order Dice Cap
Key Positions D6 + 6 Objectives (a 6 was rolled!)
Objectives must be 12 inches apart and within 12 inches of the centreline
Officer's could snap to action allied units
4 Order Dice would be pulled at a time
A limit of 2 free arty observers for the Brits (they brought one to their credit)

Paul and his son Angus were incharge of the preliminary dice rolls and then we simply drew dice and got on with it!

It was an epic game and everyone had fun. The Germans trumped the Brits on the Day, 10 objectives to 2. The Brits blame tiger fear however they were both Panthers so they couldn't complain too much as we paid the points for it.

The Teams:

Germany:

Paul, Dave, Bryan (The General), John

Brits:

Angus, Spyros (no free minis but plugged Uncle Les), Andrew, Ian

I very much look forward to another big Bolt Action Game!
