@oriskany, please include me as well 🙂 DAK player btw.
I’ll be going for a DAK recon force. So I’ll be bringing 2 units of kradschutzen (6 man each), a Sd Kfz 222 and a Panzer 2. Maybe I’ll throw in a panzer 3 J. I have a spare one I might divert to the North-African front instead of the eastern front 🙂
@limburger thanks for looking for me! The hatch at the top middle appears to be the radiator water fill cap. The radiator on these things is between the driver and front gunner seats. I have a funky feeling now, that the fuel tank is under the engine on the bottom hull. This may only be fillable from the centre section in the back somehow. Which may be why I cant find any images of teltale fuel stains on the 1000’s of pictures I have looked at.
@oriskany I’m in for the campaign
Earlier on mentioned listing planned paints bringing to bootcamp
should have these by then
Warpaint – Gun Metal
Warpaint – QS Soft Tone Ink
Warpaint – QS Dark Tone Ink
Panzer Aces 17ml – Afrika Korps Tank Crew
Panzer Aces 17ml – Highlight Afrika Korps
Warpaint – Military Shader
@bobcockayne – Awesome! Thanks! 😀
I think I have these LRDG / SAS 28mm Warlord figures finally ready for pre-shipment to the Boot Camp. 😀
Added some additional elements to the bases, rimmed the bases again in brown, added a little more wash and dry brushing, added insignia, wristwatches, and a few other small details, also experimented with small accents of sand on the LRDG vehicles.
@oriskany : a campaign like at the FoW bootcamp on saturday ?
I’ll sign whatever forces I manage to get built during bootcamp up for target practice … 😀
I just hope there’s an 88′ in there, because it was pretty good at scaring the enemy.
Infantry might be trickier to manage, but that’s why it is a bootcamp … time to learn new stuff.
@soapdodger, I think you are right mate, I think all of the engine and ancillaries are in the back centre section.
@limburger – the campaign … (if we do it – at the moment we’re looking at 90% and with each person that “sign up” it gets a little more likely) … will be a little more focused in scope than the FoW bootcamp desert campaign we ran in March 2017, to accommodate the more focused scale of Bolt Action (small units, each side gets only a platoon or so instead of a reinforced company / understrength battalion).
So instead of looking at the whole El Alamein campaign, (First Alamein, Alam Halfa Ridge, Second Alamein – campaign covered 3 months across a battlefield 40 miles across) this time I’m thinking of focusing more on a smaller division-sized ZOC covering just a couple of days (battle area maybe 4-5 miles across).
The focus I’m considering is Operation Crusader (Part 03 of the article series), November-December 1941, for several reasons.
1) Matches what I think we’re getting in the packs.
2) Infantry-based, for Bolt Action.
3) Provides historically-accurate (or near-accurate) opportunity to utilize the trench and urban boards I know they guys are building in the studio and the 4Ground terrain that will be used on some of the tables.
Also, trying to do a better job this time with leveraging the actual information IN the new Bolt Action books, i.e., scenario play, meshing that with the situation in the campaign, etc.
Wow @oriskany those LRDG guys look great! I especially love the beards.
Thanks, @gladesrunner . Bearded men FTW, as we all know. 😀
@oriskany are the above sitting on your lap on the plane to make sure they get here safely?
@bobcockayne – nope. Waaaaay too much metal in those, I’m not even trying to drag those through international airports again. Being packed up very carefully and priority pre-shipped to the studio to meet me there (along with materials for the campaign and other filming / gaming events after the boot camp).
