Re: the boot camp, I’m thinking of setting up another optional campaign, not TOO much unlike what we did for the 4th Edition FoW Bootcamp in March 2017.  Smaller in scope than last time to better fit the Bolt Action scale. I was thinking of setting it near the end of Operation Crusader, so we could include …

* the trench boards the guys are building (near the Tobruk perimeter the British / CW were driving towards)

* the urban tables they were working on (outskirts of Tobruk itself)

* the rocky terrain I know they’re working on (coastal escarpments)

* a lot of infantry action, British forces IN Tobruk (not just 9th Australian at this point, in fact I think 9th Australian had been withdrawn) …

* and both British and Germans roughly equal with the weapons I think we’re getting in these starter kits and “timeline appropriate.”

So … November-December 41. The campaign map would be NOT the whole desert war, but just the divisional ZOCs of two divisions, say German 15th Panzer and British 7th Armoured. Both divisions had plenty of attached / integral infantry that would fit well with the anticipated Bolt Action forces at hand, and if someone wants to pull out an extra / surprise tank or two, they wouldn’t be out of place in a armoured/panzer divisions area of operations.

Of course, I’d only do thins if we had a certain number of people interested in participating.

So just asking … Anyone interested?
