Cavalry charges across open terrain against rifle-armed troops not a great idea. Mind you, the infantry did not fair much better, hey?!<br />I love the 54 mm figures in general, but particularly for this type of action.James Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897755636246185173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706962170581508943.post-20774296461731050092021-02-15T03:53:55.876-08:002021-02-15T03:53:55.876-08:00Thanks Norm.Thanks Norm.Paul Liddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671334487545618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706962170581508943.post-85051555841805312652021-01-30T15:05:39.257-08:002021-01-30T15:05:39.257-08:00Love the commander in the ruin photo, a ton of cha...Love the commander in the ruin photo, a ton of charm :-)<br />Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706962170581508943.post-61050092338950631432020-10-05T07:32:19.017-07:002020-10-05T07:32:19.017-07:00Thanks James, I do like those AIP soldiers and the...Thanks James, I do like those AIP soldiers and the poses suit a skirmish game like Bolt Action better than if they had marching/advancing poses.Paul Liddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671334487545618109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5706962170581508943.post-71512686944018331892020-10-05T05:19:03.941-07:002020-10-05T05:19:03.941-07:00An action-packed game Paul!

I was going to use 20mm metals from either Newline or Jacklex and probably should have with regard to my little 4x3 board.

The Brits actually lost the battle by only securing one out of the three objectives, I will edit the post to make it clearer.
