Bolt Action: Defence of Berlin German Force

So regular readers know that I love my WW2 gaming in the form of Bolt Action by Warlord Games.

For me it's the perfect blend of historic forces and freedom to not worry too much about historically correct forces and rivet counting. While some people love making 100% correct forces right down to the correct camo underwear, it just isn't for me.

With this in mind I tend to build my Bolt Action forces within a loose theme such as a Late War Winter German Wehrmacht rather than say a rather more specific theatre, Regiment or month/year. 

But this time I've gone for a tad more specific for my latest force, a ''Defence of Berlin'' army, a rag tag bunch of 33rd Waffen SS, Hitler Youth and old men, police, firemen and rear echelon Heer.

You can see thsi force in action from the Battle Report I did a few weeks ago:

Bolt Action: Battle Report - 33rd Waffen SS ''Charlemagne'' Vs British Airborne

Back of Beyond - Chinese Painted Pt.7

So welcome once again to my humble Blog and this time it's a continuation of my Bolt Action Nationalist Northern Chinese.

With Salute over and finding myself buying some Reiver Castings Chinese I dug out the 25 or so Copplestone and Pulp Miniatures Chinese that still needed some paint loving and thought I'd better get them cracked out before I start the Reiver stuff.

For those interested the rest of the painted force can by seen here: Chinese Painted Pt.6 (Army Shot).

Note:

A few changes have been made since Pt.6, I changed helmet colours and few repaints/tidying up.

Anyway first up to get painted:

Bolt Action: Battle Report - 33rd Waffen SS ''Charlemagne'' Vs British Airborne

Mission: Top Secret (Get the Berlin defence plans from the ruined Tiger 1E).

Forces: 33rd Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS Charlemagne supported by Hitler Youth and Volkssturm Vs The British 3rd Airbourne and supporting British elements.

Welcome boys and girls to another Battle Report, it's been a wee while but hopefully these report will make up for the fact.

So anyway I was lucky enough to get to be the first to play on my friends new gaming table.
