Miserable weekend weather cancelled the kids' sporting events and provided the perfect opportunity to visit a local games club with Slowp8nter John instead!The games club "Company of Dice" was playing a mega Bolt Action campaign to commemorate this week being 6 June.
13 Missions were played over two sessions, with an overall Commander on both sides, allocating players to tasks.
Morning games being beach landing/areo drop focused, and the afternoon ones being focused in the bocage and approaches to Caen. To be honest we dropped in for socials not gaming so here is some of the eye candy that was on display, including a lot of lovely scratch built terrain:
I really liked this lovely scratchbuilt entrenchment position terrain
And I loved the use of .22 rim fire casings as shock markers too! Might have to steal that idea...
This was a really beautifully painted late war German platoon I spied (the painter said he used a toothpick to do the camo dots)
A wonderful scenario set around a large bridge feature in the centre of the table:
This lovely table was painstakingly put together with many, many Hirst arts blocks and topped off with a range of 4 Ground buildings
And made a great spot for some mechanised 'cat and mouse' games with big cats:

Great looking terrains and figures, love your fabulous trenches...
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed, but sadly not mine. Scratch build by one of the club guys.
DeleteNow that looks lie a seriously good day out - fabulous!
ReplyDeleteEven better, it was held at the local bowls club and the bar was open. Nothing better than dice in one hand and a beer in the other
DeleteI will agree with that!
DeleteGreat looking games Paul!I like the use of tooth picks too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a grand day!
ReplyDeletelooks amazing, v envious ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooks a fine day out.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming down with me mate. It sure was a great looking event and everyone was having a lot of fun. Bolt Action, Beer and Schnitzels, how could it not be fun?
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you and John turm up Paul.
ReplyDeleteFantastic photos.
Thanks for the plug.
Neat stuff Paul! Thanks for sharing the photos. I love having a look at terrain because I don't do enough of it myself and have to look off other people's ideas. The late war Germans look awesome. I'm trying something similar and toothpicks were suggested but it feels like a foreign object compared to a brush.
