Bolt Action Battle Report, #004
German forces again face off against the British 8th in a new (short) battle report. We introduce Thad to the game, who is taking on the mantle of the Germans, and I attempt to teach the game (poorly), while also filming and managing the British army. Although we both had fun with the game, mistakes…
Bolt Action “Dog Tags”
With our recent Bolt Action attention, and my efforts at painting the figures, I have been pondering ideas for various game aids. I already have easier to read order tokens, movement sticks, and clear area of effect templates. What I have been missing however is Pin markers, and markers for Indirect fire tracking. The default…
Live-play upgrade

For quite some time now, as part of our Live-play sessions, we have had a collection of old laptops for the players to interact with the game and Foundry – look up rules, move their character, roll dice, etc. In support of that, I bought a set of the cheapest wireless mice I could find,…

I am now stocking slightly less common colors of purple, orange, yellow, brown and gray, in addition to the original red, blue, black, white and green. This gave me motivation…
Ongoing Warhammer FRP campaign

Our latest episode posts this morning, and sees the group at the village of Gladbeich, which is dealing with a horrible creature. In the prior session, the group ended up committing to “save the town”, and now are on the hook to…
Old-school gaming

Been pondering some new gaming options around our RPG efforts and considering a switch back from the electronic virtual tabletops and laptops. Foundry VTT is excellent, and has served very well for many years now, and the laptop setup is solid and reliable. Each week, we have several games with Pathfinder and Warhammer FRP that…
Clear acrylic AOE templates
When I started getting into Bolt Action, I found that the game still uses Area of Effect templates – something that is absent (and sometimes missed) in Star Wars Legion. Any time an explosive weapon is used, the template is used to determine how many models are affected by the blast. Group up, more damage.…
