Sorry for sort of bugging out towards the tail end of last weeks weekender; life got in the way a tad, as it is want to do. 😛 As compensation, have some music. Hopefully it works properly, this time…

(Got it to work after a few tries…)

I did manage to get the Volksgrenadiers/Veteran Grenadiers finished that I was working on, and here they be! Pleased with how they turned out, even got a Rifle Grenade on one of the guys…I will not be doing that again…fiddly bugger that was…

As for the questions…

1. Bolt Action’s order system. It adds a great element of reality to the game because you don’t know what’s happening next. Makes the choices you make much more enrapturing, like you are actually dealing with a real situation. The biggest draw, next to the historical context, for me in the game.

2. I’ve yet to come across one that is so detrimental that it ruins the game for me. There are things I find frustrating, but nothing so major as to make me not want to play a game.

3. House Rules are always fun, though my older brother tends to go overboard on them to the point of ruining balance. Until the actual rule was inputted into 2nd edition, I always played by my own personal rule of never shooting with or at medics in Bolt Action, that’s more of a personal rule, though, than a house rule. I always play by the Geneva Convention for that game, though. It’s why I pick background for my armies very carefully. But that’s just me.

As for pledge, I still have 20 Grenadiers to build, but rifles and MP40’s for this next lot. I might also build a Hanomag and the other two Custodes I have lying around somewhere in box that I haven’t gotten to, yet. I may also get some more paint on the 5 Intercessors I have in my cabinet that I haven’t touched for a month or more… We’ll see…
