Small update for Bolt Action and Dropzone commander

Happy international table top gaming day to you all!

I have a small update for you. On the painting front i have got some stuff done. I have the new Lorraine carrier from Warlord games for the French. It also got its first touch of battle against Juhas early war germans on last wednesday.

The game with Juha was abaut objectives. We had 7 of them on the board alltogether. 2 on each table side and 3 in the middle line.

Lists

For me:Command squad, 3 infantry squads, one of them in Lorraine carrier, mmg-team, 75mm cannon and Renault FT-17 mmg tank.

Juha had Command squad, 2 infantry squads, one of these in hanomag, Forward observer team, mmg team, sniper team, At-team with sturmpistol(?)


 This was the board we played on. French on the right, germans to the left. Also, we used outflank so on turn three units could arrive from table edge, that we had wrote down before the game.

The first turn were units running towards good positions. Only minor exhanges of fire happened. From turn 3 onwards things got intresting when the outflanking units started to arrive. I figured out that i had chosen a very bad side for my units to arrive from. Luckily i had the Lorraine carrier with infantry squad onboard on the flanking mission, so i could take advantage of the road and got my third squad in good position in two turns.

Germans made a bold move trying to cross the road. Squad got shot to pieces.

Rest of my flaning force, Command team, and mmg team. Infantry squad crossed the river, planning to reinforce the flanking move, which worked great.

I have allso been working on getting more scenery for Dropzone commander for Herkko and me to play with. I got from Ebay, some miniature trees, N-Scale cars and busses. I got them pretty cheap. Around 15€ for 100 cars, 6 busses and 25 trees.

Me and Herkko have played three of four games of dropzone commander now, so slowly we are going into bigger games. There is still alot of learning to be done about this game.

We also ordered a bunch of mdf scenery from Blotz, which was mailed today. I will make a post about those when i get them.

Here some of the trees done:
