I had a great game of Bolt Action WWII goodness with wargame buddies Ian and Ian last week. The Soviets faced a worthy enemy Australians, hard combat and armed with Two 25 pounders. Little Kate did well and some very brave moves were made but I was beaten pretty well by Ian's Ozzies.

Thanks Ian 1 for hosting the game and providing a very nice table.

Wasn't long till the Australians bunkered down in hard cover (and stayed there for the rest of the game!!) Reluctantly I have to say Ian 2 did a great job using the battlefield.

Always good to bring a tank to an infantry game, It woks well till your opponent brings 2 (yes TWO) 25 pounders!

Soviet dog squads waiting for some sort of vehicle to prey on... still waiting.

Yes this is where the Australians hide

Veteran Soviet squad did NOT do the party proud. Just sitting the entire game gathering pin markers and failing order checks. Lucky you paid the ultimate price or you would have had a visit from the political officers after the battle.

Soviet wave after wave breaking itself on the hard cover.

T34, next time bring 2!

Brave Ozzie's on the move

I have to admit, hiding here was a good strategy. Nice looking as well

This is as close they got, if only the flame thrower team turned left and not right they could have come in very handy

Podcast EP24: A chat with Jon Russell.

In this bumper episode, we are joined by Jon Russell of Warlord Games fame. In addition to his dedicated work for Warlord, Jon is a multifaceted wargamer and also veteran of many years service.

In this episode we spend time learning about Jon's wargaming pedigree, before learning more about his role at Warlord, the writing of 'Bolt Action: Korea', and Jon shares with us what he can about what Bolt Action V3 might look like, and the 'Raiders Attack!' Supplement that still has much life left in it.

All this plus Warlord event support, balance in tournaments and other definitely non-controversial(!), highly entertaining and informative topics. Sit back and enjoy a chat with Jon, and us, we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
