Why not Captain Speirs?

The guy ran through a battlefield and back, and then some.

I heard he shot a whole squad of german POWs back in Normandy… That’s one guy I wouldn’t wanna Share a foxhole with.

Maybe some of these fast builders can be put to work on Warren’s army so we can get some more Bolt Action Locked and Loaded shows.

It’s great to see Alessio, he really is the superstar of all the major games out there. I do wonder how he manages to land all these rules gigs, but I’m getting less and less surprised to hear he’s worked on something.

That list has a lot of potential anti-armor with the Hellcat, the Bazooka Team, and the Air Observers. Maybe too much, I would consider changing out the Bazooka Team for eitehr a sniper team or more paratroopers. I agree with Alessio on breaking up the paratroopers into smaller squads. Minimum for the United States is 6 men, I would aim for 8.

I’m happy to see Easy Company represented this weekend while we here in the states are remembering our fallen during Memorial Day weekend. Much appreciated. Thank you.

Didn’t even know that Memorial Day was on that weekend. Thanks for letting me know and you’re very welcome. Never forget. Quoting a line from Sabaton “Always remember a fallen soldier, always remember fathers and sons at war!”.

This is my main Bolt Action army. I keep my themed and don’t use any vehicle bigger than a jeep. In order to generate more units I supplement the paratroopers with glider infantry squads.

Easy company and easy quick build for the boot camp, that’s the way to go! Does anybody else see all the hidden extra rules in the American forces, funny that one of the main writers of the rules normally plays US forces……Hmmmm……LOL

American paratroopers gave one of the best responses ever to a call on them to surrender at Bastogne: ‘Nuts!’

Small numbers of elite troops = my kind of army in terms of financial and time requirements to build it up.

Good luck with the 101st. I’m currently putting together a similar army with a Hellcat as well.
