Warlord Games Bolt Action battle report. British 8th army vs Afrika Korps

Our last Bolt Action game of the yr.
Thank you so much for your support.

Have to admit, I appreciate the "must roll in tray" rule. Can't stand folks rolling dice all haphazard around terrain and such on the table. Solid game, gents.

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it

[@JackErnst-y7p]

I agree, dice all around the field is a little annoying in a friendly game.

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Yeah, think we will go back to a tray tbh

[@williamrthompsonjr556]

The problem with the scenario, in my opinion, was the limited visibility. The Germans had no chance to inflict casualties before the Brits were on top of them, or recover from the artillery suppression. On the other hand, it was rather historical.

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Thanks for watching. Yeah, in hindsight he did have alot of cover

[@lukeshirley8496]

Thanks for another entertaining game guys, love the diagonal set table and terrain! Great to see the Tiger survived the game. 🖐️Richard! I can’t wait to see what 2023 brings, sounds like you guys have got some great ideas there.

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Thanks for watching. Yeah, lots happening in 2023

[@chrisking1334]

A cracking game! Thanks, Gents! Love the post-game analysis too. For my twopenn'orth, everthing would be easier if the Tiger were dropped: it's such a horrible points sink! Mind you, you did put the 'Tiger Fear' rule to good use (we never use Tiger Fear, as it's so horrendously over-powered). Merry Christmas, Both!

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Thank you. Might get really aggressive with the Tiger fear rule.

Great game as usual. Looking forward to more in 2023

I recommend looking up an old black and white movie called Sahara with Humphrey Bogart. A single american tank is left to retreat from a disastrous battle out in the sahara desert. Along they way they pick up some allied stragglers, a south african, a frenchman, a brit, a sudanese, and then an italian and german prisoner. They are running out of water and end up taking refuge in a tiny stone building over the only well within a hundred miles. The well is dry but a company of DAK soldiers dont know that so Bogey decides to make a last stand and hold out long enough against the germans so that when they overwhelm the defenders, their prize is a dried well haha. Great movie if you can stomach older films. Really good foray into the north african campaign.

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Love the classics, so will look out for that

[@grimlock5990]

Great game gents. Love those armies, they look fantastic!

[@kitchenwargamers4141]

Great and brutal game guys, your dice rolls Richard I feel your pain. Let's hope the dice gods turn in our favour next year 😁👍💥💥

[@bazza1carter]

The British have the upperhand with prelim bombardment. It's best to leave small teams and vehicles in reserve when they are part of the game play as you found out. And as mentioned below the scenario/layout was in favour of the British too. I won't even go there with the number of dice the Germans had !!!!

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

It was a tough fight from the start

[@davidbreen7466]

Thanks for all the great entertaining content, have a great mid- winter festival and wonderful new year.

Thank you

[@weirdwwii8775]

Panzerfausts in North Africa? I do love some Weird WWII, brothers! ;)

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Lol, no. I was screaming at a subscriber called panzerfaust as we knew he was cheering Jason lol

[@weirdwwii8775]

@@bringbattlewargaming8720 Oh, I missed that. I was painting while I was watching and you know how that goes. Hope to see you guys venture down the Weird WWII path some day. Have a profitable and joyous New Year.

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Thank you, you too

[@craigdreghorn2127]

did you guys forget night fighting or was it only for turn 1?

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Only for the 1st turn.

[@daddomgaming6472]

Another great and entertaining report. I'm sure Jas gave you a chance to get some points in the last turn 😆 at least the Tiger lived even if it didn't do much lol

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

He is kind like that lol

[@ja37d-34]

How is Bolt Action compared to GW-games? Worth playing?

[@bringbattlewargaming8720]

Very frustrating for me as i have no tactics. More thinking is involved and because of the random order dice you have to plan as you go. Having said all that I enjoy playing it
