My use of mathematics to improve my Bolt Action forces continues, so after my previous posts – the original post WW2 – Band of Brothers – squad Optimisation and the workings for the Germans WW2 – Band of Brothers – squad Optimisation Part 2 and then the rework of the Americans WW2 – Band of Brothers –ContinueContinue reading “WW2 – Band of Brothers – List Optimisation Part 4”

WW2 – List Optimisation – Early War French
It is time to turn my V2 IMPACTFULNESS calculator on my favourite forces – the Early War French and Mid/Late war Free French. This is going to start as a purely theoretical process – and then I will put together the most IMPACTFUL lists I can for 500 pts, 750 pts, 1000 pts, 1250 ptsContinueContinue reading “WW2 – List Optimisation – Early War French”
WW2 – Band of Brothers – List Optimisation
I have now developed a V2 of the IMPACTFULNESS calculator – this one now means the higher the score the better the IMPACTFULNESS. Lets review the workings on the Americans from the Band of Brothers Starter set. For the original post see WW2 – Band of Brothers – squad Optimisation and if you want to seeContinueContinue reading “WW2 – Band of Brothers – List Optimisation”
WW2 – More Fallschirmjäger
Another 2 sprues of Fallschirmjäger for use in Bolt Action and 02 Hundreds Hours, these are some I had built prior to my previous post WW2 – Squad Optimisation – Late War Fallschirmjäger but had not painted. They were created to enable a full 30 men to be available for Early and Mid War forces. SoContinueContinue reading “WW2 – More Fallschirmjäger”
WW2 – Band of Brothers – squad Optimisation Part 2
So having done the Americans from this box set – how about the Germans – yes I have already built them but what if.. err.. I had a time machine and could have done my analysis before building them. So in the Box you get 2 sprues and what can we build from those. TheContinueContinue reading “WW2 – Band of Brothers – squad Optimisation Part 2”
WW2 – Squad Optimisation – Late War Fallschirmjäger
So more number crunching – this time I will be looking at mid war/late war Fallschirmjäger. I have 4 sprues of Fallschirmjäger to turn into squads and enable me to field an improved Mid war/Late war Fallschirmjäger force when added to those I built earlier. So lets look whats on the sprue and what IContinueContinue reading “WW2 – Squad Optimisation – Late War Fallschirmjäger”
WW2 – Band of Brothers – squad Optimisation
Ok having developed my squad IMPACTFULNESS calculator, and having the 4 sprues of American Paratroopers from the Band of Brothers starter set to build I thought I’d use it to compare the recommended lists from the pack with other options. So in the box you get 4 sprues of US Paratroopers – lets see whatContinueContinue reading “WW2 – Band of Brothers – squad Optimisation”
WW2 – Bolt Action – Squad Composition
So as any of you who have read my previous post may have noticed, I have upto this point had a rather slap dash approach to construction forces. That is I get a box of shiny new figures and then try to build as many unique miniatures out of it as possible, then look toContinueContinue reading “WW2 – Bolt Action – Squad Composition”
WW2 – Fallschirmjäger recruits
So I have painted up some new recruits for my German Paratroopers Fallschirmjäger force. All these miniatures are from Warlord Games, I will be using them in Bolt Action and 02 hundred hours. First up a Panzerschreck team https://www.instagram.com/p/CpiiBtRoclo/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Next 3 gunners for an AT gun team – I have learnt to mount these separatelyContinueContinue reading “WW2 – Fallschirmjäger recruits”
WW2 – More Germans
I treated myself to the Band of Brothers starter set and I am slowly working through the figures. To day I bring you the German Grenadiers from the Band of Brothers set. I will then look at how these enhance the lists I can make using my existing figures and these new additions. So firstContinueContinue reading “WW2 – More Germans”
