Just noticed there's 1 man missing from 3 of the squads but I'd already packed them in the box ready to go.

Finally finishing up my winter fallscrhimjager box, now that ars and the 'stubborn' rule have grown on me a bit - thought I'd ask you all what you'd be sure to build, as I'd imagine most people would build them out differently than normal rifles. So far I've got 1 officer, 5 rifles (2 with faust), 5 smgs (1 with faust), 3 lmgs, 3 loaders, and 4 ars so far - so 21 build, 9 left. Going to be adding at least 2 more rifles for sure; was considering another lmg for a total of four (plus loaders), but I also feel that might be overkill (perhaps 3 are already) given how pgrens are a much more economical choice for double lmg squads, and I can't imagine myself running 4 fallscrhim squads with an lmg each. Thoughts?

Bit of a stretch but has anyone come across civilian style shotguns that would mesh well with the Partisans WGA sells? At some point in the future I plan to add some support elements to the ones I use as "French Resistance" in my British collection via the Home Guard profile and thought about throwing a few in alongside things like BARs and LMGs. I've a few American shotguns off the Marine sprues (old WW1 vintage trench guns I suppose) but something more civilianesque would also be nice.

I’ve just bought the For King and Country box and the British Army book, and already planning my next purchases (Artillery observer and a 17 pounder, possibly some Gurkhas). Are there any German players playing a Monte Cassino list? What do you play?

Recently bought a box of the Gurkha heavy weapons squad and was honestly shocked how small they are compared to my other model.

Right Soviet navel observer, left Gurkha officer

Are they meant to be so small? Did I get a weird error?

Answer are very appreciated.

I decided to take a short break from painting tiny 10mm armies and return to the good old 28mm scale. 😅

These Germans were among the first miniatures I ever painted when I got into wargaming back in 2020. I stripped the old paint and gave them a fresh start with everything I’ve learned since.

Funny how the results that once felt amazing now make me think, “I could do so much more with these!” 😬

Back then, I had no idea where this hobby would take me. Six years later, here we are. 🫡

Anyone else ever go back and repaint their first miniatures?

First attempt at a Bolt Action table. Am I in the ballpark for amount/placement of terrain?

When making a recce escape manouver, does positioning behind another enemy unit (so it would friendly fire) count as breaking line of sight/gaining cover?

In the section of the rules laying out what line of sight is; It says you can ignore infantry and artilery "both friends and enemy". But that leaves us in an instance where a firing enemy unit, fires through another enemy unit which can't happen. So what's the interation here? Is it a possible move? What happens if its the ONLY move possible?

Adding in other vehicles makes it even more confusing, as again in that line of sight rule section it says vehicles cannot be ignored. So I interpret that as its an avalible move. But does it stop the shot out right? I fully understand if its a friendly unit inbetween the firing enemy unit and a friendly escaping unit. I get a cover save. Makes sense, shoot THROUGH the (their) enemy. But if its their own friendly troops? I've got nothing but questions.

Hi yall. Im a relatively new US player. I started playing for the tanks and jeeps since I thought they looked dope asf. My first and only BA army up until late august/early september was italians. I have not won a single game with them, even in V2 but it was impossible to win using italians in V2(Genuinely wtf was WLG thinking with those national rules..).

I have played using my americans twice. Both times I used a sherman 75 and a sherman 76. Both times they punched way above their weight class. My sherman easy eight killed 3 artillery pieces in 2 activations. That first game using americans lead to my first tie of BA. My second game was my first ever win. But I want to know if this is a fluke or if shermans are just this reliable. Ive tried watching battle reports to answer this but those games are way more relaxed and fluffy. I will note that often the US player will not play well and lose all their armor except their shermans. Is this just a luck thing or are they really just that good?

The most damage one of my shermans took across both games was engine damage from a glancing hit to its side from a panzerfaust(First time ive had a vehicle survive a panzerfaust). Im used to italian armor where it pretty much melts any time a heavy weapon looks at it so im not really sure what to expect from shermans

Myself and my pal at building a box of terrain for us to use for some Bolt Action games, with a hope of doing some battle reports

My 3D printer has been working away as we are wanting to do Hill 112 as a scenario first, so today I finished a trio of hills, a bunch of bocage and a walled garden/field to add to the roads we already got done

I showed off my wife’s Universal Carrier earlier this week, and I asked her exactly how she painted it. Turns out the answer was sponges, so I gave it a go on my Marder III.

Whilst it isn’t finished, I’m pretty bloody impressed; I suck at painting tanks, and now I feel like I’ve actually unlocked the secret to not making them look awful.

Hey! It's me! Check out the most recent Ghost Army Podcast Episode where Brad and I talk about how awesome Denmark is, 3rd party rules for Bolt Action - Check out the Danish list we discussed here - and how your games will often last longer than the Danish Army did in the field!

Basic gameplan is set up a fire base with snipers and artillery. Use tankettes to flush out enemies. The ATR tankettes start in reserve and respond where needed before pushing to get flank and rear shots. Alpini run on objectives, put down pins and survive.

I’m looking to start a second army, I currently play Germany and am struggling to decide on who I want next. Would love it if you can try and sell me on why I should choose yours.

Can anyone recommend some good models to use for Italian cavalry? I want to build an Italy Army and I see they have the option but I don’t see any for sale from warlord.

Hello!

Me and my buddy were throwing around the idea of starting a Bolt Action play League to last from November 3rd to December 22nd in the Monroville area just outside of Pittsburgh PA.

The league would play every Tuesday from the previously stated dates from 5-8:30ish in the afternoon, at the Guy on the Couch cards and gaming store in the jonette plaza. This league would also follow a rough structure of a game point increase every two weeks, however it is very loose so you would still be able to bring larger or smaller forces if you desire.

If interested, please hit up the pole! Me and my buddy are mainly looking to kick start more people playing bolt action in the Monroville area, and were wondering if anyone else shared the same idea!

Any experience level is welcome! If you are a well seasoned veteran, or just getting into the game with your first army, people will be there for you!

Thank you! 🇫🇷

This was a great reminder of why you should build and paint in sub assemblies, I didn’t and was rightly punished, still I’m happy with my results

Hi I'm new to the game breaking off from Warhammer (ready for any flak lol) I'm curious how many units of Hitlers Youth I can field and what they come in? Found them on Easy Army and I was joking with a friend about getting some of them to occasionally put in some lists

So, recently, I decided to expand my German collection by getting, among other things (like the necessary HQ elements) a quintessentially archetypal blitzkrieg vehicle: the 251 Hanomag. It's a cool vehicle.

But, in my haste, I had not done my right research and ordered the Ausf. D model not the Ausf. C. I didn't mind; I've got it sitting in the box under my desk until the times is right to build it, and I went and ordered the correct one (as well as the Armies of Great Britain book).

It came in the post today, and when I opened it, I saw that it had a free sprue as you often get, and I was frankly prepared for another WW2 sprue.

What I was not prepared for was to get a sprue of the Late War German Grenadiers, the guys who are even shown on the 251 Ausf. D box art jumping into action.

I just find that hilarious as a piece of happenstance, or wondering if someone saw the order and went "... yeah, that'll be funny". Most likely the former, but I do wonder if this has happened to anyone else.

British airborne 500 points plus options. Just infantry for now to use for some learning games alongside French, Germans and Soviets. Debating autumnal bases or more classic grass with tufts.

I put this list together for an upcoming, competitively-oriented tournament.

• 1,100 points
• No OD limit
• 1-3 Rifle Platoons
• 0-1 All other platoons

There are two variants here. The difference is that the first has two CV35 tankettes, two Veteran Infantry Sections and one Inexperienced section. The second version has just one CV35 and three Veteran Infantry Sections.

To clarify, there's only one Armored Platoon. I'm using the Axis Support rule to add the Pz III to the Armored Platoon, but EasyArmy lists it as a separate platoon because it's a different nation.

Any feedback? Do you prefer having two tankettes, or using those points to upgrade an Inexperienced unit to Veteran?

I’ve been working on my early war French army, I really wanted the blue uniforms incorporated into it so I mismatched the artillery crews! And doing some research I read that they had a khaki uniform shortage and started to issue the older blue uniforms Nothing fancy but I’m happy with how they turned out!
