Hold Until Releaved. Bolt Action Game.

Some of us turned up to the Club recently to play Bolt Action.

We each took an Army of 1000 pts . I took my Waffen SS and played Joe who took Americans.
The Americans had to hold the Objective until they were relived.

The Germans were allowed to set up infantry squads hidden from the start, 18 inches away from the objective the Americans were holding.

Unfortunately things didn't go the Americans way, as they were unable to hold the objective after the Germans flooded it with troops that were hard to budge.


The board with the objective being one of the ruined buildings on the right.

  1. Those your tables and set ups are just great! Is that table base some sort of foamboard?

  2. Thanks Juha.

    This board is just to sheets of wood with some wooden roads Joe made up.

    We have been using foam for other tables like the Normandy DDay beach which is almost finished.
    Once that is finished Joe Will be starting a Normandy Bocage board out of foam.
