Going through the new rule book and the new Armies of Great Britain book.  I can not find any mention of the Highlanders.  Is there any word as to when they will be available?

Thanks,

Stoff

The new rulebook is now available.  Is there any word on when it will be available in PDF?

Those are the ones you need.  In particular, “Operation Sealion” and “Operation Gigant”.  Get these and enjoy, they also seem to be a fun read.

Well I give it a shot.  Got some Green Stuff, assembled three 8th Army minis, and went to work.  Here are the results.  I still have to do the final trim and shaping after full cure of the Green Stuff.

Anybody out there with ideas for taking British 8th Army minis and converting them to kilts.  Other than shorts the mini looks like a natural for kilts.

Thanks,

Thank you very much.  How did you go about putting that together.  I would really like to able to figure it out on my own when I want.  I am also looking for a good template for doing my own ship data cards.  There are more ships then data cards.

Thanks,

Christoph

Here is the trick that I use so as to be able to recognize enlisted from NCO from officer; I paint the rims of the bases the appropriate colors.  Such as black for enlisted, silver for NCO, and gold for officer.  My sniper teams get green for Rifles.

I hope this helps,

A new Bolt Action player here, but what it seems. to me, to be needs, is not so much as a new rules edition, but a regularly updated index that references all the books.

Just my two cents worth.

[Christoph Hintze]

Looking forward to my local game store getting them, here in the states.  I am on the list for one as soon as they do.
