Just wondering if anyone has tried Bolt Action for skirmish level games, such as towards the end of the war with the Bitter-enders. Of course the Second Boer War is not your typical colonial conflict with both sides using magazine rifles, Maxim mgs and even Pom-Poms. |

I have used it with the Mexican Revolution and it worked very well. Pancho Villa versus the Federales. |

I'd have thought that the 24" range would not best reflect the "empty Battlefield" of the conflict, where the Boers engaged at long range and halted the British with their fire. |

Good point. Perhaps the Boers should simply be given a longer range than the Imperial forces? |
