I've been Getting into the (Bolt) Action with my completed 15mm German Fallschirmjager Force. Check out my latest Blog update.

Lovely stuff sir. My 15mm FJ's sit based, heavily converted and undercoated in my hobby room. Building up the courage to paint numerous camouflage smocks. I decided to paint a Heer platoon to get my eye back in to 15mm painting first. Also try Chain of Command, it's different to Bolt Action (so they don't tread on each others toes) and also works brilliantly with the original measurements and 15mm chaps.

Do you change the measuring distances when you play Bolt Action w/15mm figs?

I'be been starting with Bolt Action in 28mm but also have lots of extra 15mm FoW figs to possibly form up units from!

And oh….oustanding job on those FJ's!!!! I have a full FoW company of them and wish mine looked half as good!

Cheers,
VB

The measurements seem to work fine as is. I think if you reduce them it will result in a slower game, not my preference.

Thanks for the compliments fellas. I gotta get the Americans done soon, looking forward to the Tank Battles book. A reinforced platoon and a tank platoon facing off against the same is going to be neat.

I'd like to try chain of command. I did up these guys because I think individually based guys have way more flexibility to try different games. Multi based systems can box you in a bit.
