@Thomas Brewer I mostly used the version posted on the Warlord site. I have also seen a fan version as you said. They both need some tweeking. I found the cost of the Renault tank nee...
I enjoyed a great game of Great War Bolt Action this weekend with my friends. This was my first time running the game as a GM. I had six players and it was a great turn out. The scenario I devised ...
Well Bolt Action is just a set of rules. The armies you put on a table are as historical as the effort you want to put into researching them, regardless of the rules you want to play. Doing a littl...
Like my other post, I have also been working on the Wargames Atlantic WWI Germans. A German formation for Bolt Action is going to be organized differently depending on whether they are defending o...
I put up a post quite a while ago with a pic of a squad of WWI French I had painted. I finished the box and I have also been putting some terrain together so I will be doing a Bolt action game some...
I'll take that as a no :-)
There is also "Through the Mud and the Blood" by the lardies but I haven't played it. I have used Stargrunt II which is really just an infantry skirmish game that also includes vehicles. I have use...
Has anyone tried the Belloludi Rules? What do you think? It's nice to see WA putting some new rules out.
Stargrunt II is also worth mentioning. The rules complexity is on the high side so it's nothing like Xenos Rampant. But it can be used to model any kind of combat involving troops with firearms. I ...
Those look amazing! Do they advance under a creeping barrage? 😉
Ok thanks! I should have known! I don't have that one so maybe I should pick it up.
@JTam Hi there JTam, I was taking a closer read at the piece you scanned about German artillery. What was that from? Was it a gaming supplement? They really did their homework. I was i...
Now that we are going to have plastic Brits soon, It seems like a good time to revive this thread a little. I hope WGA does produce some rules and I would certainly give them a try. I person...
I considered it, they didn't all have that and I just opted not to. Maybe some other ones will. I haven't sourced out a specific unit to portray, which may not be possible anyway. So I have left t...
A week really is a lifetime on the internet. I've been so wrapped up in other things I just noticed the announcement today. But this is really cool and I'm very glad to get these in plastic. Someon...
The Dixon Yari I bought arrived today. I was pleasantly surprised, they are really good quality. Nice crisp casting and the metal is firm enough that it won't bend too badly. better than I was expe...
These are really nice Don!
I was looking at some 72nd scale kits because I also do that scale, and I was thinking of scenarios that could involve artillery on the front line. We think of guns being far behind the line but ac...
I found these guys https://www.keepwargaming.co.uk/dixons-25mm28mm-samurai-weapons-y1-yari-spear-with-straight-blade-12-5180-p.asp
@Mark Dewis well close but no cigar I guess. I found a site called steelfist miniatures that sells cast Yari but they are low on stock. I wrote them to find out if they can cast some more. ...
Thanks for the suggestions guys! Those Orc spears are definately close arent they? I think I will contact Perry and see if they will cast some for me. I need at least 50 so its probably worth their...
I thought I would share my first sprue of WWI Germans. Once I have more of these and my French painted up I will post some pics of a game. I plan to use THrough the Mud and the Blood from the Lardies.
Hi Everyone, Does anyone know of a good source for 28mm Yari? Really I just need the spearpoints and I could attach them to steel pins. I thought Wargames foundry might sell them but no go....
Ya I have researched them extensively. They were holding the line when the Germans first used chlorine gas in April 1915. This is a 1917/18 portrayal though.
Hi everyone, I have finished my first batch of WWI French. They are the 1er Régiment de Marche de Tirailleurs Algériens
The United States Army did experiment with the concept of a single supporting gun to accompany a battalion on the attack. It was not a successful tactic because of the difficulty moving it forward....
Hi everyone, I like games. I will play anything. The group I play with does historical wargamming of all periods. My first miniatures game was 40K 2nd edition in the mid-90s but I played D&D a...
Jumping in a little late, but these do look nice. I will be doing a 16th C Samurai army in the fall but I will be using 2 Warlord starter armies for the bulk of the figs as well as Perry Miniatures...
French and Indian war is a fantastic wargaming period with some really good rules available. I have used Land of the Free many times as well as Flint and Feather and always had fun. It is one of th...
