Kinda surprised there isn't a Bolt Action thread in here. So I will start one, and confess that I am totally won over to the system for platoon level play, I'm still an AAM fan for the "bigger picture." And because I have so many of the minis. But BA is very appealing.
Those who don't remember their history are bound to do something or other...
I've played BA with Audacity and Firehouse. It's a great game. So far I've bought the rule book only. I want to know the rules to have fun, but I can't afford the minis yet.
Got the band of brothers starter set about 3 weeks back. Already hooked after doing a couple of small games and spent too much on a US and German army. Currently in the process of making/painting and gathering terrain for the games board.
In the process of painting my collection now. Over the past year slowly acquired a solid German and US army. Managed to snag a well painted Japanese army roughly 1250 points on ebay around xmas too.

I just stumbled on Bolt Action (a little late, I know) but was wondering what folks here think of it. I'm in the same boat to where I think AAM is great for "bigger picture" as you say, but am tempted to dip my toes (jump?) into Bolt Action...

I jumped in with both feet, particularly the usual "niche" armies: Finland, Sikh, Canadian, Early War Soviets, partisans, etc. And now I have hundreds of figures/vehicles. So if you ever need spare arms, heads or weapons, I have a lot of leftovers from each sprue.

Thanks for the offer, I appreciate it! Just placed my first order for a starter today
