Fun to see more Bolt action. Not too many good learn to play videos for Bolt Action - maybe something you'd like to tackle. The cool thing about WW2 minis is once you've painted them there are lots of choices for rules.

Planning to make a series next year 👊

They used to make trees by taking a small bundle of wire. Twist it together to form the trunk of the tree. Then, at one end, separate the bundle into a couple of smaller, short, bunches to form the spreading roots. At the other end, longer small bunches to form limbs. Then individual wires for the smallest branches. Use modeling clay over the wire frame to form the bulk of the trunk and branches. For leaves, you can use tea leaves from tea bags, mixed with paint and white glue, stuck onto the “branches”. It’s fairly finicky and takes a while. But that’s how people did it before prefabricated kits were available.

I should give it a go, would be fun to try out the old school method

Wonderful flip through! My favorite part of the Bolt Action books is the history that’s mixed in as well. These books are such a wonderful value for the price.

Thank you! A lot of work has gone in to these for sure

"...whether or not you'd like to add it to the collection..." I mean it's nice to see you not assuming we fit the stereotype of being a bunch of hoarders. 😂 I'm impressed by the map details and the artwork included in the book. You can tell that Warlord Games are a dedicated bunch when it comes to historical details and accuracy. Would have liked to have seen it hardback, but I can understand the case for keeping costs down.
