Bolt Actions -- Germans First Run

My first attempt at a German force didnt work well.  Small German units die too easily!!!!  The Russian SU152 was just lethal.  I missed with my first shot with a PaK 40, and its return fire blew the PaK away.  It then stunned away my StuG, while using its MG all the time to whittle away my infantry.


The village was beautiful!

Dogs of War 2016 -- Day 2

After being crushed twice on Day 1 of the Dogs tournament, I came back with two wins to finish in the middle of the pack.

Game 3 was against Rusty.  It was Hasty Attack.  I managed to kill all of his advancing forces for a 5:2 victory.  Rusty was terribly unlucky, but this was a fantastic gentleman's game.  

Game 4 was against Smithy.  He had German infantry in a 'Dust Up'.  Smithy should have won -- he was incredibly unlucky with my aircraft coming on repeatedly, whereas his planes almost never showed up.  And I managed to make my morale checks when I needed them.

Final result was:
1st Place - Leigh, with a perfect score.
2nd Place - Griggsy
3rd Place - Pat and Smithy


Ben rolling for victory

Smithy vs Lowell.  This was going to be a 6-1 one way or the other.  Smithy managed to gain the victory, but it was actually close.

Pat deep in thought

My game vs Rusty.

A tense game -- Rob vs Pat.  Lots of spectators.

Can Rob gain the victory?  It was close, but Pat managed to pull out the win,

Dogs of War 2016 - Day 1

Crushed I was -- absolutely crushed!!!!!

My first game against Griggsy.  It was close, but he managed to get his rangers to an objective.

Pat wasnt going to play -- but at the last minute managed to get free.  Which was great, because Jim had to drop out.

Leigh's horde of RV South Africans vs Rod.

Lowell's army -- 4 Tiger I's


My round 2 battle against Leigh.  I misplayed, and Leigh played perfectly.  I just couldnt get to grips with 16 25pounder guns!!!!

Smithy dropped in from Army Reserve training to play a game.

Lowell's tigers just couldnt make it against Pat's Grenadiers (with pioneers and Stuka's)
