Fall-In

sorry i missed out

I played and loved AAM since it was introduced and I still enjoy it as a game. I liked hex based maps and prepainted durable miniatures.

Bolt Action by Warlord Games is a WWII 28mm platoon skirmish game. It uses measuring modified distances on well scaled tabletops where building terrain is as much importance as building ones models or painting the miniatures. I paint only so that I may game, but I get better all the time.

In general with your 1000 points you build an infantry platoon that can be reinforced by a tank, an armoured car and an artillery unit. Played on a 4' x 6' table this takes about 2-3 hours. We sometimes play smaller forces and often play larger multiplayer games.

One of the best things is the activation system. Each unit on the table top has an order die in a bag. These are drawn randomly. If one of my dice comes out of the bag I can give an order to any unit of mine on the table that does not yet have a dire order this turn. Once all the oder dice have been assigned the turn is over. If a unit is destroyed a die for that army is removed from the game.

An order die allows one of seven moves to be given to a unit. Fire, Advance and fire, Run (also used to charge into close combat), Rally, Ambush and to go Down.

I have played this very successfully using our AAM units. Just buy the Bolt Action Rule Book 2nd Edition. My communities play the game in 28mm so I build and paint as a part of my hobby

Does BA allow for aircraft or off-map batteries?
