WW2 – Bolt Action – German Vehicles

I have just finished the vehicles from the Band of Brothers and Fallschirmjäger Starter Army, so I thought I’d share them with you. These are the first Warlord Games vehicle kits I’ve built and I have to say they were fun to build and I believe even with my limited painting skills have come upContinueContinue reading “WW2 – Bolt Action – German Vehicles”

WW2 – Band of Brothers – List Optimisation Part 4

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”
