For those who play Bolt Action or other World War Two games, this is a nice hybrid of historic and futuristic! Most of the Victoria products are are sculpted by Victoria Lamb, the owner, and cast in fine resin. Jake Schneider does the designing and sculpting of hardware, weapons and the vehicles. All of the kits are 28mm Heroic scale so will blend well with any Warhammer 40K armies.<br />

Let's build a Halfling army for Dragon Rampant on the cheap! We are always looking for inexpensive ways to field an army on any war game table and Dragon Rampant is a grand game for doing that! We'll show you how to get a halfling army on the table for as little as 46 USD.<br />

Wargames Atlantic has put out a <a href="https://wargamesatlantic.com/collections/classic-fantasy/products/halfling-militia?variant=31045164761186" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Halfling Militia </a>box set that contains 40, yes we said 40, of the brave folk of the Shire for only 34.95 plus shipping. With it as our starting point we will put together a 24 point Dragon Rampant army. This hard plastic box set allows you to build Halfling Militiamen equipped with bow, sling, halberd, or pike and with options for full command.<br />

In Dragon Rampant a unit of 12 infantry is standard. The box set gives you eight sprues with 5 figures each, 15 different heads and all the equipment seen here.<br />

Let's start with a unit of archers or <b>Light Missile</b> troops for some ranged attacks. You can build up to 16 but only need to field 12. The Robin Hood cap and bare head options would do well on these chaps. We will add the Sharpshooter special rule to give them a better chance of hitting on their rolls.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Next is a core of <b>Heavy Foot</b>. These guys don't attack strong but will give you a solid defensive unit to stay stuck in! There are enough options to build plenty of pike, spear and halberd wielding halflings and we only need 12 for our army so have plenty to spare. For our army we'll use the spear halberds for our heavies! Getting two on each sprue will make us the quantity we need for our unit. Sticking with the kettle hat, or brimmed helmet, will add consistency to the unit<br />
<br />

Next we will take a unit of <b>Bellicose Foot</b> which will pack a punch on the attack but are considered to have no armor so defense is low. We'll use the sword and spear options and use the various skull cap helmets. That will give you the third infantry squad for your army<br />

With the remaining four models we'd make a command unit with our general, musician, standard bearer and a hero. These will be a reduced model unit of <b>Elite Foot</b> We'll use the sugar loaf helmets on three of them and the crested helm for our general. You could mix and match anything you really wanted for this unit.<br />

Lastly we'll add some additional muscle in the form of a <b>Lesser War Beast</b>. Northstar Military Figures Rangers of Shadows Deep line has a sweet <a href="http://www.northstarfigures.com/prod.php?prod=14695" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ogre</a> for around 10.00. "While not inherently evil, they have a tendency towards violence and cruelty which makes them extremely susceptible to the corrupting influence of the Shadow Deep." For our purposes we can use the old lion and the mouse fable and assume a nice hobbit pulled a large splinter from his foot and now he works with the halflings.<br />

There are a lot of other variations you could use like making 6 slingers to use as a unit of Scouts. Another would be to pick up a special general figure like this halfling hero on his pony, with three accompanying halflings from <a href="http://www.copplestonecastings.co.uk/prod.php?prod=406" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Copplestone Castings</a> for around 11.00.<br />

Over the holidays and into the new year we discovered Dragon Rampant, the wonderfully simple fantasy war game from Osprey Publishing!<br />
<br />
After the last few years of Bolt Action it was grand breaking out the old fantasy figures and putting them into action. The beauty of the game, created by Daniel Mersey, is the fact you can use virtually any fantasy figure you have or like! His previous game <i>Lion Rampant </i>is the historical equivalent of the same game. The Command and Control aspect is where the game differs from others.<br />
<br />

It's not as simple as you move, enemy moves, you move, etc.. You begin by giving a command to one unit and if it passes, then you go to another unit and test. If it passes your turn continues, but the first time you miss a command test, then your turn is over. You can have a turn where you move every unit in your army just as easily as failing your first test and ending your turn that fast.<br />
<br />

Armies are made up of an average of 5-8 units with anywhere from 1-12 figures. A basic infantry unit has 12 figures and a basic cavalry unit has 6.<br />
<br />
Here we have a 24 point army with 12 Heavy Foot, 6 Heavy Riders, Heavy Missiles, 12 Belicos Foot and the army general is an Elite Rider with the Flying Special Rule<br />
<br />

If you like Orcs and Goblins, they are just as easy to build a 24 pt army. The spider riders are Light Riders, the wolf riders act as Heavy Riders, The general is a single model that stands as a unit of Elite Riders so he will have the same number of wounds as a six model count unit. On the right is a 12 orc unit of Belicose Foot which act like beserkers with high offence and low defense. And a six model count Heavy Foot unit. Heavy Foot normally have 12 models so can take 12 wounds. Each wound removes one model. With a reduced model count unit of 6, each model can take 2 wounds before being removed.<br />
<br />

Here a heavy hitting Lizardman army, also 24 points, has a Greater War Beast, two units of Belicose Foot, and a reduced model count Heavy Foot unit consisting of only 3 models. Because it is still a 12 wound unit, each model can take 4 wounds before being removed. The general is acting as a unit of Elite Foot<br />

Windmills played a part in the Second World War, particularly in the Netherlands, as shelter for refugees as well as look-out posts for the Wermacht.

The Polish Army in 1939 needs all the help it can get to repel the German Blitzkrieg. Here we've added another Polish Infantry Section from Crusader Miniatures for our Bolt Action battles.<br />
<br />

The twelve man rifle squad has extra punch with the addition of a BAR Automatic (LMG) squad in it. Backup also provided by an Ursus armored car<br />

Well finally we have some additional armor for the Black Bull, British 11th Armoured Division. Here we have the completed A34 Comet Heavy Tank, a Cromwell MK IV and a Daimler MK 1 armored car.<br />

There will be a need to fill those landing craft so we also started to build reinforcements from Warlord Games. A British Cromwell medium tank and a Daimler Mk1 armored car are in the process.<br />

Additional infantry in the form of two Ghurka squads and an officer are being prepared too. The Warlord box set has a static firing squad and a squad charging into the fray! They are great miniatures and powerful troops on the tabletop.<br />

The LCVP (Landing Craft Vehicle Personnel) or Higgins boat went together very quickly as did the Landing Craft Mechanized (LCM). That is a consistent plus to the Sarissa kits, ease of assembly.<br />

Our latest Bolt Action Battle involved 4 armies and the Polish Army's inaugural battle. On this grand Soviet hamlet table our fictitious battle involved the German and Japanese armies confronting the Polish and Soviet forces. The game was to control the four objectives seen as the yellow stars. Each army received 750 points.<br />
<br />
This was an early war action which involved plenty of infantry. The armor on the table consisted of a Panzer III for the Germans, a CHi-Ha with the light howitzer and tankette for Japan. The Russians brought a T34 and the Poles fielded an Ursus Armored car and a twin turreted 7TP. The Germans also had an AT Gun and the Polish Army brought a medium howitzer.<br />
<br />
All armies had to designate who would be in on the first wave. The only reserves were the Poles who kept a truck and unit of 10 infantry off the table.<br />
<br />

As things began, the Polish sniper and 7TP moved in on the left side along with the Soviet mortar team and a couple units of infantry.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On the right side the T34 moved in to oppose the CHi-Ha and tankette. He fired and missed. The Polish transport truck raced in across the center of the board stopping next to the far right objective. He was promptly hit by a slurry of machine gun fire and was knocked out disgorging the 12 infantry inside. 2 men died but the Poles were on the first objective. Two Soviet infantry squads and the Ursus armored car moved in to support them.<br />
<br />

On the opposing side of the table the Japanese piled all of their units along with a couple German units against the Polish on the objective. The Germans deployed a unit of infantry to the center and a 6 man squad on their far right.<br />
<br />
On turn two the Germans brought the Panzer III on to support the infantry squad on their right flank. It promptly fired at the T34 and missed. The T34 returned the favor by also missing. Snipers all missed and a few pin markers were exchanged on both sides.<br />
<br />

On turn 3 the Panzer III was able to fire first, missing again. The T34 did not miss this time scoring a hit, penetrating the armor and destroying the German tank!<br />

With the Panzer gone, the only trouble the T34 could possibly have were the Japanese suicide anti-tank team with lunge mines! The Poles on the objective continued to hold out taking tons of fire. The supporting Soviet infantry was also being whittled down. The Polish army brought in their reserve transport and infantry for additional support on the right, hoping to hold the objective. With the last die pulled being Japanese, the suicide team moved within striking distance of the T34!<br />
<br />
Turn 4 started with two dice each for the Germans and the Poles. The Polish units tried but could not kill the Japanese suicide team. The next die fell to the Japanese who lunged at the T34 and destroyed it!! The Ursus advanced in support of the right flank but the Poles on the objective were finally wiped out due to having to many pins! The supporting two Russian infantry units fell too, leaving just two men from one of the squads hunkered down behind the destroyed T34. Only the newly arrived Polish infantry squad remained, close enough to contend the objective.<br />

On turn 5 the Chi-Ha was able to crush the remaining Polish infantry. In doing so, its flank was open to the Polish artillery who scored a hit destroying the Japanese armor. Sadly it was to late to help the deceased infantry on the right flank. The Ursus was able to add pins and kill a few opposing infantry but the center and right were now in the hands of the Axis forces while the left two were unoccupied. At the close of turn 5 the German infantry squad, alone on our far left, made a run for the objective nearest them.<br />
<br />

Turn six started with a furious exchange of mortar and MMG fire from both sides. The soviets had a 12 man rifle squad hiding in the farmhouse since turn 1. They dislodged themselves, moved into the swampy area, fired on the Germans heading for the left most objective and killed all but one. The twin turreted 7TP with 10 dice was able to kill the last German on the left flank. This allowed the Polish sniper team to run down the hill and capture the left objective.<br />
<br />

With four dice left (1 German, 1 Polish and 2 Russian) the Allies had 1 objective and the Axis 2. The Polish die was pulled and their HQ squad ran across the road to contest the center right objective. The Germans fired on the Russian HQ unit but missed. With the last 2 order dice, the Soviet HQ unit ran to occupy the center left objective and ran the last 2 man infantry squad to contest the far right objective.<br />
<br />

There the game ended in a victory for the Allied Team holding two objectives and contesting the other two. It wound up being a very close game where most of the action centered on the right objective till the last turn.<br />
<br />
The Polish trucks got the infantry into action right away. Having a 12 man squad kept them in the game, taking fire and attracting a lot of attention, till the end of turn 4. There was a great moment of elation on the Allied side when the T34 stood victorious with very little to threaten it. Then a great moment of elation on the Axis side when a stick mine destroyed the T34!<br />

We thanked her and asked for some finished photos to share with everyone. We received this reply along with some photos: "<i>I've sent you some photos of our siege engines. We also did a battering ram. There are plastic knights from my childhood on the photos. They were made in the mid 1970s.</i>" </div>

A few months back we did a post on a <a href="https://battlegroundhobbies.blogspot.com/2018/08/sarissa-gangs-of-rome-buildings-and.html">simple Sarissa Precision kit</a> and today we'll be looking at one a bit more complex, the Town Villa. When the three main sections are completed it will measure approximately 11.5 x 14.25 inches.<br />
<br />

As mentioned in the previous Sarissa post, the instructions are plain straight forward illustrations which are easy to follow.<br />

The kit consists of 11 MDF boards and 3 of heavy card stock for the roofs, doorways and windows.<br />

The front section is a simple affair with the four outer walls and two inner dividers. The colonnade out front is the most complex part of the kit. Each column consists of 10 pieces. The two main vertical pieces interlock, the small ring slides on the bottom fist, then the larger ring and finally the square base. The four smaller vertical pieces then tuck into the four inner corners and base. Lastly the cross like cornice goes on the top.<br />

Once all the columns are assembled they line up under the support structure on the front of the villa like you see here.<br />

The roof for the colonnade has an MDF base and five low triangles which have tabs that go into slots on the card-stock roof.<br />

Once dry, the colonnade roof tucks onto the front of the building like so.<br />

The rear of the first section has nine small window frames along the roof line, a rear doorway and small porch roof that will interlock with the middle section.<br />
<br />

The sections main roof has a long vertical ridge beam and five trusses. We found it helpful to glue one side first, let it dry and then do the other side. We also glued some extra MDF pieces along side some of the trusses for additional support.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

And when both sides of the roof are thoroughly dry it will sit very snugly on top.<br />
<br />

Now the mid section! The first side starts very much like the front with four outer walls but with only one dividing interior wall. There is a courtyard piece on the base plate in the middle of this section. The inner courtyard porch roof sticks out into this area.<br />

Once you finish this section you'll have two buildings with a courtyard in between.<br />
<br />

The rear of the front section will face the courtyard......<br />
<br />

... and tuck into it like so.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The final middle section step, besides the roofs, is to attach the porch support for the rear sections porch roof.<br />
<br />

The third and final section has a simple first floor, very much like the front of the villa, and then you'll need to build the second floor which is just as simple.<br />
<br />

The flat top roof was a slight pain to get glued all together at the same time but it is doable.<br />

Now put the Town Villa sections together and there you have it!! As we mentioned it measures approximately 11.5 x 14.25 inches and is quite a center piece for whatever tabletop game you have planned!<br />

The 7TP was the only genuine tank produced in Poland before World War II. The 7TP stood for 7 Ton Polish even though it was a 9 ton vehicle.<br />

It was also the most combat worthy armored vehicle in the Polish Army at a time of the German invasion in 1939, and one of the icons of the pre-war Polish Army.<br />

Several guns were considered but the Swedish 37mm Bofors gun was chosen, since it had been adopted as a standard towed anti-tank gun for the Polish Army, and offered good performance for that time.<br />

The 7TP was the most advanced of all Vickers 6-Ton tank derivatives in the world, and can be considered a Polish design, being a compilation of foreign licences and their own inventions.<br />

Despite all of this, it was not the most modern tank in 1939, but it kept pace with the world's standard for a light tank.<br />
<br />
The light tank class constituted a mainstay of armored forces worldwide, and the 7TP could be a match for any enemy vehicle.<br />

In March 1935, the first series of 22 twin-turret tanks was ordered.<br />
<br />

All were utilizing machine gun turrets removed from 22 Vickers E tanks during their conversion to single-turret.<br />
<br />

Such armament was a forced solution, since a final turret and gun had not yet been chosen for the single turret.<br />

Well with our love of the 4Ground kits we put off Sarissa products until now. With the coming of Gangs of Rome from War Banner, Sarissa has developed a series of Roman buildings and Accessories for the game. Today we'll take a peek at this Semi Detached Small Mixed Shop.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The simplicity of the kit is kind of nice. Two mdf boards and one heavy card stock are all you need!<br />
<br />

On the back of the cover are basic instructions on the assembly.<br />

We took a couple minutes to glue on the door and window frames. Then we attached the four outer walls to the base, inserted the middle room divider and wrapped it with a rubber band to let dry.<br />
<br />

The upper floor was very much the same. Four window frames, outer walls and a dividing wall. There are no stairways or working doors like in the 4Gound kits.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A quick awning over the stall doorway and there you have it. I wish we would have timed it because it couldn't have been much longer than 30 minutes from start to finish and we have a grand little building.<br />

These kits are quick and painless for anyone who has built models in the past and a great starter kit for any new to the world of tabletop gaming! We'll show you other Sarissa kits as we begin to establish terrain for an Italian Bolt Action Campaign!<br />

Well there are always more models to build and paint! We are like everyone and have several additional projects all going at the same time. For our early war Polish Army we have the wz.29 Ursus heavy armored car from Warlord Games!<br />

Designed in 1929, the Samochd Pancerny wzr 29, was more commonly known as Ursus. It was based on the chassis of a 2-ton truck, mounted a 37mm anti-tank gun and multiple machine guns. Although adequately armored for the inter-war period, the Ursus fared poorly when facing more modern opposition in 1939.<br />

Another Bolt Action project is our US Army in Greatcoats for winter campaigns. You can see an earlier post <a href="https://battlegroundhobbies.blogspot.com/2016/05/artizan-designs-ww2-us-infantry.html">HERE</a>. These are recently primed reinforcements to bolster the Battle of the Bulge.<br />

Finally getting a few moments to assemble and yes, paint a few figures. Next on the list is the Polish Army for early war campaigns. These were some of the first models we purchased from Warlord Games for Bolt Action. However the <a href="http://battlegroundhobbies.blogspot.com/2016/05/cromwell-firefly-from-black-bull.html">Cromwells and Firefly of 11th army Black Bulls</a> and subsequent British forces delayed their start.<br />

Here is most of the Polish support units primed and ready to go! Everything from a light AT gun to the Polish 7TP Tank. One with a canon the second with the twin turreted machine guns!<br />

We started painting with a unit of infantry and a hastily commandeered transport as they desperately try to stave off German attacks. A <a href="https://trenchworx.com/product/crossley-tender/">Trenchworx Crossley Tender</a>. We imagined the Poles grabbing for anything that would move. These guys couldn't find any horses!<br />

During the assembly process we use the clothespins to hold the walls together as they are drying. All of the larger kits come with several clothes pins and large rubber bands to wrap around the bases<br />

Now we'll look at the details like the front door and window. The windowsill is already in place here.<br />

As the building is ruined we decided to do the same with the doors and windows here's the pieces that we wound up with, as you can see we made a cut along the door and then snapped all the pieces off to use for debris.<br />

4ground also provides you with extra brick bits and a few broken boards. We broke off pieces from the leftover sprues, anything that was thin enough to look like boards.<br />

And here we have the Americans moving through the finished 4Ground Ruined House ready to Ambush any German armor that might come up the street.<br />
<br />
These really are great kits and if you haven't tried building one yet, we recommend you do it soon!<br />

Have A Great Battle!<br />

Having a collection of miniature vehicles, infantry, buildings and scenery allows us to take some pretty nice photos of all the above. We recently had Josh Henderson available and decided to let him have at the above mentioned vehicles and scenery to photograph and prepare for some Photoshop action. Here is a fine example of his work, so let's take a closer look at what he can do.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With minimal lighting and a creative mind Josh began with a 4Ground cityscape located somewhere in northern France.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With a few tweaks and a couple layers in Photoshop you can go from this to...<br />
<br />

Here is a nice clear shot down the scale street with good depth of field but needing atmosphere.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Bring in the atmosphere, a tighter angle and now you have the tension of a looming engagement in the image.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now take it into Photoshop, working with some layers, color and contrast adjustments and filters, and POW there you have it. This one is a simple example of building on a decent photo, but there are those that think they can do the same in Instagram with a filter pack. That may be true, but lets look at some things you can't do there. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here we move to the Russian countryside where a T-34 and an outdated T-28 are attempting to stem the German tide. Again we have enough ambiance but need a little more.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Simple color correction and the addition of mountain range in the background gives life and depth to the photo.<br />
<br />

With the same two Trenchworxs models and scene we see that Josh changed the angle and brightened the lighting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Again a simple color correction, some additional haze and a skyline in the background bring emotion to the photo.<br />

We personally love this shot with the old Soviet T-35 land battleship plodding along, infantry in close support and a modern T-34 providing support on the hill above. The tank riders are from Warlord Games.<br />

Josh provides a crisp dawn blue sky and a powerful muzzle blast from the T-34. Additional mist, color corrections and retouching provide us a finished image of the Soviet early morning counter attack!<br />

If you are not familiar with Trenchworx, you should be! Trenchworx designs and manufactures high quality scale models for gamers and hobbyists. They design all of their models with accurate detail and ease of assembly. Trenchworx has had a three successful Kickstarters; Tanks of WW1, Tanks in Manchuria and Tanks on the Western Front.<br />

One of the Manchuria tanks is the OT-26. The OT-26 or HT-26 was the first of a series of flamethrower tanks based on the T-26 light tank. It was produced by mounting a Model 1933 flame-thrower in the right hand turret of the twin turreted T-26 Model 1931. In early examples the second turret was retained, but it was then removed to make more space for fuel.<br />

Trenchworx starts all models using in-house 3D printing technology and eventually convert to resin kits. Their resin cast products are manufactured in their facility in Sandy, Utah.<br />

The BT-7 (Bystrochodnij Tankov or “Fast Tank” type 7) was derived from the 1930 American-built Christie tank, which had been perfected and modified into the BT-2 and BT-5 series. These were pure cavalry tanks, designed for speed, with good armament but weak armor.<br />

The Soviet BT-7 was produced between 1935 and 1940. Several thousand were built during the opening stages of World War II and among those 154, BT-7A artillery tanks were produced.<br />
<br />
The inspiration for the Trenchworks company began in July of 2013. Wanting to create models for their favorite table top war games and using the 3D printers of their parent company Worxsimple, it began with that simple statement of “wouldn’t it be cool to have…”<br />

"We started with a T34/76 turret for one of Nate’s models. Next a Sherman 105 and Calliope turret was needed. After a couple of weeks of modeling and printing various kits, Dave said “Nuts to turrets. Let’s build a tank!” A week later we had a brand new Jagdpanther (cause why start small!)."<br />

That very same Jagdpanther can still be seen on their <a href="http://trenchworx.wpengine.com/" target="_blank">Trenchworx</a> home page and is still a favorite.<br />

Here you can see another fine example of their hard work, the T-28. The Soviet T-28 is a multi-turreted tank used between 1933 to 1945. Over 500 tanks were manufactured. The tank had one large turret with a 76.2mm gun and two smaller turrets with 7.62mm machine guns.<br />
<br />

This Trenchworx (1/56) scale resin cast kit allows you to equip the tank with either the KT-28 76.2 mm gun or the improved L-10 76.2 mm gun. The guns are interchangeable and attached to the turret with magnets. Magnets are included for the main turret and the main gun.<br />

Since the first tank rolled of the line at Trenchworx, they have designed, printed and shipped thousands of new models to customers around the world. Nate has been posting his progress on the BoltAction.net forums with great support, commentary and even model suggestions. <br />

And now, the Soviet T-35 “land battleship”! This Soviet monstrosity was a multi-turreted heavy tank used between 1935 to 1941. Weighing in at 45 tonnes, just over 60 tanks were manufactured. <br />

They apparently did not participate in the border wars in Mongolia, the invasion of Poland or the Winter War. By June 1940 they were seen as nearly obsolete and costly to operate,<br />

Had our first Bolt Action Tank Battle on the Gingerbread Stalingrad board! It was Jonathan and Kevin on the German side with two Panzers each.<br />

Nathan had a Soviet Medium tank and a Sherman on lend lease from the USA. I ran with two T-34s.<br />

Nathan started the moves by advancing his Sherman into the ruins for some cover. The Soviets moved two more tanks on before the Germans emerged to open fire on the Red armor!<br />

There were plenty of misses due to the cover provided by the ruins. Quite a few hits were also scored which caused pins, but first blood went to Nathan as his Sherman hit and destroyed one of the Panzers.<br />

After a few exchanges, one of Kevin's Panzers returned the favor by destroying a Soviet tank with a long shot.<br />
<br />

The two T-34's commanded the center of the board from the Tractor Factory. One of Jon's Panzers took a hit and caught fire. However the crew was able to get the flames out and retreat from the building they were hidden in.<br />
<br />

The Germans had the last three moves in turn six. Kevin's Panzer moved out for a clean shot into the factory, but failed to hit. So the game ended in a draw with one kill each.<br />
<br />

In honor of this festive time of year we decided to indulge a little. So, we're thinking Stalingrad, Bolt Action, World of Tanks and Gnigerbread all go well together. Here is what we came up with.<br />

Using Graham Crackers and traditional "royal icing" made from powdered sugar and egg whites we set to work. The crackers are pretty brittle so we used a set of dental tools and hobby knife to cut the window and door openings.<br />

Here it is with the rest of the Gingerbread buildings. It even has a hammer and cycle sign posted above the entrance. For World of Tanks fans, this looks like a tier six match.<br />
