Awesome to start the whole thing off!
I’m definitely going to participate in this with my local group
Awesome, @mc1gamer ! Have you found our thread in the Historical Forum? Sam was kind enough to include a link to it in his “turn 1” update. Also, you can PM me (Oriskany). Either way, reach out and let us know what kind of forces you’d like to play and/or if you have a particular part of D-Day mind.
Thanks again for your interest! 😀
A thousand and one thanks to the Beasts of War team and the Bolt Action Bootcamp players for helping the WWDDC Project realize this important Pegasus Bridge battle. We all wanted to include Pegasus Bridge in our campaign, but none of our groups had access to such a kickass Pegasus Bridge model to use on our tables. This is great! Thanks again!
A stab in the heart! We were ready to go with two battles until disaster hit. I’ll still be following though.
Indeed, @unclejimmy was one of our original sign-ups for WWDDC (one battle behind Utah and one behind Gold). Some “real life” stepped in, however, and forced him to regrettably step down. We were definitely sad to lose him, but he’s with us in spirit as we continue with the WWDDC! 😀
Really like the look of that table.
looks like fun!!!
love it.
AWESOME SAUCE!!!!!
love to try one of these worldwide campaigns one day
Looking forward to seeing more of this. This looks like an excellent campaign.
love this stuff
Currahee!
Please forgive an old man’s confusion here, but there were no para’s at the initial assault on Pegasus Bridge, they were elements of D’ and B’ company Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry, led by Major John Howard. The defending troops, comprised of reduced strength company of ‘Osstruppen’ conscripted and volunteer eastern units, part of the 736th Grenadier regiment. The combination of well trained elite British force, excellent gliding skills, rehearsed attacks, for once, good intelligence, surprise at night, against a weakened (numbers) not particularly well led troops, gave the British more than a little edge! Not to mention, good old… Read more »
Well said
Agreed, and honestly if I had the depth of historical knowledge in my head I definately would have.
No disrespect meant to any of the regiments not mentioned, but in the ‘heat of a boot camp’ we kinda have to go with the flow…
However…
Perhaps today I can address this during an after action report 🙂
@phalanx58 and @torros – When the Beasts of War team agreed to help us out with the WWDDC and Bolt Action Boot Camp, we were naturally thrilled to have the chance for a Pegasus Bridge battle played at the boot camp, and featured in the site. Naturally, as gamers, we’re “at the mercy” of what armies, figures, and lists are available. Then, we had to wait and see which (if any) Bolt Action Boot Camp players might want to run a WWDDC game. We couldn’t exactly ask for volunteers, then start turning them away because they didn’t have the precisely… Read more »
Awsome. Now i really want to join!!!!
Awesome, @umgrimmy – If you’re interested in signing on to the WWDDC, you can follow the link below or PM me ( @oriskany ) and we’ll get you and/or your gaming group sorted!
http://www.beastsofwar.com/groups/historical-games/forum/topic/world-wide-d-day-challenge-1/
Sounds interesting 🙂 ( Though it was hard to hear what you’ve said )
I’ll have to check out that link, although my US is kind of tooled for late war stages…
Great weekends coverage
…sounds to me like speedpainting an army.
Nice bridge!
That bridge is about epic, isn’t it? When we started setting up the WWDDC and people started selecting parts of Normandy to play in their games, no one wanted to pick Pegasus Bridge despite its fame . . . no one wanted to BUILD the thing! 🙂 Of course, the Beasts of War team is exactly THAT crazy . . . and the results are astounding. From the VLOGs it looks like @johnlyons built / painted most of this thing, and five-star kudos to him for doing so!
Actually … I built it 😉
(which is why its a bit rickety lol)
Oh, is this the bridge from last year? For some reason I thought you guys lost it in one of the studio moves.
Many apologies then, Chief Engineer Warzan! 🙂 The bridge certainly looks amazing (as many have said), which is why we were so happy it could be plugged into the WWDDC. Like I said, none of **US** wanted to build the thing, despite how important and iconic Pegasus Bridge is to Normandy overall.
have fun leading the charge
Cool concept, and great to kick things off on such an awesome looking table.
a nice idea
We would like to add our great thanks to the people at the boot camp and an especial thanks go out to the terrific team at BoW.
This just may be the way I get a couple of games at the local shops
Great idea, wish I could join in
