Last Friday night history of World War II took another surprising turn and had a pleasure to re-enact another unknown episode of war: battle between US and Italian forces against Soviet and French menace. It's another game we had to play at Rilian's place - last time it was Italian vs US and since then we were still kinda hungry got more WW2 gaming.
Since the last game Rilian also found 2 more commanders willing to start Bolt Action adventure, so we had 4 armies on the table - each 1250 pts worth. Must say no matter how much I like the game, the size of battle was just too big: the battle started about 20:30 and the last bullet was fired after 2:00 a.m.
My side clearly lost but we didn't manage to bring game to the 6th turn.

Any post-battle conclusions?
Not realy: it's Bolt Action so no matter what brilliant plan you prepare the dice drawing and rolling is true god of war. Because all other armies were early war, I also had to adjust my force to this period. Sadly that made my unit choice very limited but still it was fun.

Also I tried to upgrade some photos with AI so make the report more eyecatching but I'm not really sure it was good idea. I got feeling the upgraded photos look like taken from WH40000 battle of video game 🤔 Here's the material anyway - judge for yourself:

That's it. Hope the next time I get opportunity to field proper mid/late war stuff 😎
Your AI pictures remind me of big budget Hollywood action movies where they like lots of explosions every 5 minutes ! LOL Shame on the time period for the army choices, but at least you had a game, even if it was in the early hours when you finished, hopefully next time, you'll have a later time period.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I also had similar association: everything explodes everywhere ^^
ReplyDeleteDefinitely manually upgraded photos is something totally different and more believable then this AI crap ;-)
