Tanks - Stug G unboxing

Here's the second tank I bought along with the main game, the Stug G.  These aren't very effective in game, however they only cost 15 points, so you can field a few of them.  Lets see what you get in the box.

The box art looks awesome.

Again you get the instructions on the back of the box insert.  I forgot to take a picture of the sprue, it only makes one type of tank, but you get to slightly different hull options and about 4 different guns, so no two Stugs in your force need look the same.

You only get one tank card in the box, because you only get the one variant in the kit.  The Stug has low initiative, average firepower, low defense and hit points at the lower end.  But they're really cheap.

You get five upgrades in the set.

Tanks - Pershing Unboxing

I didn't just pick up the Tanks box, I got a couple of extra tanks to go with it.  The first one is the Pershing.

The pershing kit makes either a regular pershing or a super pershing.  You can't however make both turrets, because they use the same turret components.

The box insert has the instructions on the back.

Bolt Action World of Tanks Edition

I've come up with a new alternative way to play Bolt Action.  Those of you who like historical accuracy will probably not like this.  On the other had those of you who like World of Tanks will probably love this.

What you will need.

• all the tanks, tank destroyers and self propelled artillery your gaming group possess
• your gaming group preferably an even number
• the bolt action rules
• enough bolt action dice for both teams
• a bag
• some paper
• two sets of coloured dice, eg a red team and a white team.
• the usual dice tape measures etc   

 Firstly set up the gaming table.  A big one preferably.  Plenty on hedges, trees farm houses etc.

Next everyone places all of their death machines on a table.  Someone writes all of the vehicles down on slips of paper, folds them up and puts them in a bag and gives it a good mix.  There should be one slip for each vehicle.

Now pick teams, and assign a colour to each, eg red and white.  These should be even of equal numbers.

Now each team dices off.  The winning team get first pick from the tank bag.  The teams alternate between each other until each player has a tank, i.e. team 1 picks a tank, then team 2, then team 1 again and so on.

Once every one has a vehicle deploy them on the board, the team that went second in the tank selection gets to choose table sides.

Now put all the coloured dice in the bag.  These determine which team gets to activate a unit.  From here on out treat it like a normal game of Bolt Action, with the objective of wiping out the enemy team.
