Let’s Build Saint Nazaire! Operation Chariot WW2 Terrain Project Part #1 – The Plan
March 21, 2024 by avernos
Gerry and John start going over their plans to revamp one of our old boards and some of the terrain for Spring Clean Hobby Challenge 2024. The idea is to build this using inspiration from Operation Chariot, crafting a Saint Nazaire port and dock for games of Bolt Action and 02 Hundred Hours in 28mm.

Interested to see the rebuild progress.
I love the idea of updating the water that’s currently on the board, then creating a topper platform that can be placed over it to extend the land to cover. That stretches out the playability of the board. For the drydock, have the cradle removable do you can “flood” it by placing a sheet of textured plastic into the dock, then replace the cradle. That would signify a slight flood. Then make another sheet that sits on top of the cradle for a deep flood. Also, make an insert platform that slots into the drydock space to turn it into… Read more »
I see a suspicious stain. Did the Vorlons shoot down a Shadow vessel near that dry dock?
is it the patch where I wiped a ton of dust off?
Was Saint Nazaire that one documentary that that car guy Clarkson dude from the BBC did back in the day?
You need lots of bars of Panzerschokolade on the table! 8)
The OG build video was https://www.beastsofwar.com/featured/wolsung-table-for-demo/ if the text is to be believed. Sadly the video is not accessible any more. But there are the playing videos on the youtubes: https://youtu.be/no05gr6vs54 and https://youtu.be/IGzL4bzGTaM
Yep.
Wow… you mentioned St Nazaire and Warren didn’t immediately appear?
we did it when he wasn’t around to make sure we can get it finished 😛
You didn’t say it three times ?🤔
Is there space for civilians in 2 in the morning.
nope they’re all in the air-raid shelter
Nice one 🙂
cheers
Really looking forward to seeing what you all come up with……
…..so I can shamelessly steal your ideas, replicate it to a far lesser standard, and still show off to friends that I have a full gaming table.
telegraph posts with lights should not ne so difficult to do – use ferry lights.
Given that Warlord have done a specific model of the Campbeltown, any thoughts on the possibility of a secondary board for Cruel Seas to play out the approach to St Nazaire and the battle in the estuary whilst the Commandos were blowing up chunks of the dock?
that sounds like it lives squarely in Warren’s backyard with his plan for tiny men and a huge board.
I’ve wanted to do St. Nazaire for years now. Good luck!
Will be smashing to see how the water might be done.
I lack the space for bigger boards so I’d love to see what happens if the resin effects come out. 😁
Great to see a NEW VLOG terrain building project. There have been some great ones in the past and this looks like a cool idea too. 02Hundred is a really interesting system too so very much looking forward to the bat. reps. too.
Great to see a new VLOG terrain building project. 02Hundred is a interesting system.
I had completely forgotten about this table I remember watching the original build, fantastic series just finished watching it from start to finish.
I’m looking forward to seeing the progress you make on this build. I’m definitely going to take advantage of the processes you share.
Gerry will be A-Teaming a Das,Boat scenario for the boat for playing for the future videos ?🤔
All those years of threatening to do this project and it finally happens without Warren!
I’ve enjoyed binge watching this series. good to get some board builds and updates back!
