About the Project

Inspired by the Ontabletop.com 'Spring Clean Challenge' I have dusted off my Soviet Army for Bolt Action, which is 'Stalingrad themed'. I have dug out half painted and many still boxed kits and blister packs to start/re-start and hopefully finish the ridiculous amount of Soviet's, German's and Scenery that has been stuck in gamers limbo for years. I particularly look forward to getting a German army up an running to challenge my Soviet's, and to base the elements on real units (such as the 100th Jager Division). I also need to get scenery to theme the board built and finished. No Stalingrad battle (let alone a MEGA BATTLE [which Stalingrad very much was!]) would look right without a mass of smashed grey buildings, and a ruined concrete and brick wasteland. It's ambitious, but I have a LOT of unpainted miniatures and scenery that is crying out to get done, and the end result will (God willing?) be achievable and great fun for my gaming group and I. Like many gamers we all have a favourite battle that we would like to have masses of models and scenery to play with our mates. In those terms. this is my Waterloo (in a gaming bucket list way, rather than my ultimate personal downfall!),

This weeks Bolt Action battle report returns to Stalingrad as another episode of our Barbarossa to Berlin campaign rolls on.

This time the German High Command have tasked their best troops to dig in and bomb the Soviet fuel Depots. In this unique scenario ‘Asset Denial‘ written by Michael from TT Miniatures, the Germans bring up their heavy artillery in an effort to target Soviet Fuel Supplies and cripple the beast as the Res Army builds for a counter attack. Time is of the essence as the Soviets need to destroy the guns before the Germans can destroy the fuel dumps, this fast and thrilling action packed game will pit the fire power of the German army against the man power of the Soviet army. But who will win!? …Watch and see!
