28mm North Africa - Bolt Action

We've been getting into Bolt Action lately as a fun and simple way to game WW2. We wanted to limit the amount of heavy tanks and equipment so we picked the War in North Africa 1941-1943. 

So far we've been having a blast! I've been painting Germans and British, as well as my friend Chris. Tyler has been painting Italians, and John has been painting some French. 

Here are some pics from our last game:

My Bolt Action 8th Army figs!

This is the beginning of my British 8th Army Desert Rat force for Bolt Action. I've painted about the same amount of DAK, and have another box of plastic DAK on the painting table.

Me and some friends are planning a big North Africa game in the not too distant future. We have guys building Italians, French, and more Rats and DAK. It should be pretty epic!

Here are some pics:

Well, the local gamers have bitten the Bolt Action bug pretty hard, so I've decided to jump in. They are doing all of the typical late war cool tanks and equipment stuff, but I wanted to do something earlier in the War, so me and my buddy Chris decided to start with North Africa 1941-1943. He's doing 8th Army and I'm doing DAK. Another local guy has some Italians, so we should be able to run some decent games.

I like Bolt Action, but I've also picked up Chain of Command and would like to give those rules a try too. Here are some of my pictures. I still need some decals for the tanks and vehicles, and I need to hit everything with a matte finish still..... but at least you get the idea of what I'm working on for my first project of 2015.

The DAK deployed around a small village.



Recon moving out to scout ahead of the Panzer III's. I still need some decals for the vehicles.

Some of the Perry plastic infantry. I've painted one of two boxes so far.

The 88, with Perry metal crew.  I still need to buy the transport.
