After the early start and madness that was the Kids raking in there haul, eating too much (followed by the inevitable sugar crash) I managed to actually get some painting done.
I have had a game awhile ago vs Xelee's Russians (though thankfully without the T-34/85) and while we were sort of only vaguely knew the rules we had a blast. Following this the game seems short, bloody and somewhat (but not too brainfryingingly) tactical. The Initiative sequence is quite cool and unique.
I have had some Japanese Army models for a while and have decided to get them finished finally. I have around 500pts but first up is a Veteran Jungle Fighter squad of the 第2師団 Daini shidan or 2nd Sendai Division which fought through the Dutch East Indies and Solomon's (where it lost 7000 men!) until finishing the war fighting in Burma, where it was annihilated. Its call sign was "The Courageous Division"

I have a fire support squad of 6 more Experienced troops halfway done so far and plan to get the army done by end of January :)

Sweet, Boltaction. Figs are looking very good. I finally have the rules so am ready to rumble in the jungle at any time. SO REFRESHING to be able to flick through and straighten oit some areas that had been bugging me. I can leave the tank at home if its too scary lol
I also got the Warlord Pike and Shotte rules for christmas. The book is great, lots of pretty pictures and history overviews for Italian Wars right though to wars of the Sun King.... Remember those other figs we have? :-)
Fantastic work on the bolt Action Japanese. They are hands down the best I have seen!
The basing is excellent as well.
Happy Gaming,
Allan
Sweet! Im sure we captured the spirit, if not the specifics.
Pike and Shotte sounds cool. Im keen to also finish off (well start!) those other models too...along with the half dozen assorted other half projects!
Thanks Allan, they are fun models to paint. Very sterotypical criticatures but fun none the less!
I like the style of the sculpter, high definition and sometimes even a bit crude (they are very heroic 28mm) but this could be my old 40k roots showing themselves!
Beautiful work on these guys. Love the basing too, very jungle like!
Nice work Jas.
Would love some WW2 skirmish action!
Perhaps we could meet in sunny Guadalcanal?
They are really nice. They almost make me what to get into Bolt Action but I really want justify another WW2 game.
But I may steal your basing ideas for some plans I have been thinking about for FOW Nam
Thanks Ben
