I too am a fan of Bolt Action - although its been a while since I've played it (or any rules as a matter of fact). I used to like Disposable Heroes, but found some of the mechanics too detailed for a fast play game - Bolt Action took care of that. I am sure you will be a top-contender in the challenge.

I've read CoC and it sounds fun, but like most TFL games it benefits from putting work into the scenario's and having a referee. I'm sure it's superior to BA if you have all the right conditions, but simply put we don't have the time for that. We need a game that we can simply set up and start playing without much need of anything or re-learning the rules and BA fills that in very nicely. Oh and I did mention it's fun too!:-)<br /><br />ChristopherChristopher(aka Axebreaker)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13205928451375232865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-3119428520565772672013-11-22T04:20:58.121-08:002013-11-22T04:20:58.121-08:00Thank you kindly Cyrus!

Each time I encounter your gaming reports I wish my own tables would look like that.<br /><br />And I'm glad to read that you enjoyed Bolt Action quite a bit. I've yet to play my first game with these rules as we focussed on Chain of Command. People "in the know" keep telling me how great a game CoC is, especially in regard of historical accuracy and gameplay. But, to be honest, I found the BA rules much easier to get my head around – be it that I'm just used to GW-style mechanics – and they appeared to be less daunting to a WW2 rookie like me.<br />There aren't many gaming opportunities for me these days, so pick-up games are the way to go. After two matches with CoC I tend to think that more light-weight rules (as BA is often deemed to be) are better suited to my needs.<br /><br />Cheers, SG<br />mountainsoflead.comSire Godefroyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13278575582941391824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-7398873840990776652013-11-21T23:54:32.345-08:002013-11-21T23:54:32.345-08:00Great looking game of Bolt Action there Christophe...Great looking game of Bolt Action there Christopher!Cyrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13186074313046292554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649434062142208873.post-58730938246111132002013-11-21T16:31:21.022-08:002013-11-21T16:31:21.022-08:00Thank you very much Jonathan!

I suppose it's the same reason I haven't tried Longstreet yet in that I'm having a good time with Regimental Fire and Fury. Funny to say, but I'm just a bit overwhelmed with all the rules out at the moment.<br /><br />As to the shout out it's the very least I could do!
