[L.T. Russell]

Howdy y’all!  L.T. Russell here, initials not rank.  I’m in Helena, Montana, by way of El Paso, Texas, originally from Herndon, Virginia.  I’m an old, retired guy.  Been gaming since my older cousin was taking me to the Wargaming Club at Indiana University, back in the 70s.  The good folks up here at White Knight Games & Hobbies got me back into gaming, specifically Konflikt 47 and Bolt Action.  I play Germans.  I can also be found playing the board games; Wingspan and Empire Builder.  I’m working on putting together a Viking/barbarian army for Warlords of Erehwon and a gang for Necromunda.  A pleasure to finally make it onto the forums….

I’m Pete, West Australian Tabletop gamer who has just bought into Judge Dredd and Slaine and looking forward to Narrative telling skirmish battles, may possibly even make some video battle reports on my YouTube channel Pete’s Fried Chicken Gaming.

Hello, I am from Valencia (Spain), and I am looking for people to try Konflikt 47 and Bolt Action.

[hazed100]

Hope I got this right, I reply to add to the list? 😬

I’m Rob from Essex , huge Bolt Action fan, have almost every book and currently a huge collection of armies. I seem to almost complete a countries army when my fancy switches to someone new and the whole process repeats! 😁.

Worryingly I’ve started to take an interest in British Napoleonic armies.. this could prove problematic for space!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying this amazing hobby and are in good health.

Hello all. In August, I will relocate to Nairobi for a few years. Are there any (or does anyone know of) Bolt Action players or groups there?

@hazed100 – anywhere near Chelmsford?

[Steven Woolley]

Hi there. My name is Steven and I am generally a plastic modeller in 1/35, 1/48 and 1/72 scale and I also run N gauge trains. I am based in Cheshire, UK. I am new to Bolt Action and I love the idea of building a sizeable army on the tabletop that is convincing unlike in 1/35 scale where this would be impossible. I am developing an Italian army and looking forward to seeing some of your creations.

Hello everybody, Nick up here in Helena Montana. I am starting Black Seas, and am very excited. I have the Starter Set, the HMS Victory and have purchased the British Fleet starter set. I was excited to learn that my local game store White Knight Games and Hobbies, has a pretty sizable group of people that actually have Black Seas models, and know the rules.

I started with games back in the 1970s with OD&D, and have just gotten into war gaming. I didn’t know a tall ships ruleset existed, or I would have been here sooner. This has long been my favorite era for historical fiction, and I am eager to get to it.

[Nick]

Hello from another Helena person! Hope to see you down at White Knight soon, perhaps we will meet on the waves. I play Black Seas and A Song of Ice and Fire for miniature games. Other than that I am really into D&D, CoC and Star Wars roleplaying games.

45 years of club wargaming across pretty much all genres. A few years of game mechanics design (computer aided wargaming). I picked up Bolt Action in version 2 after seeing it at a convention where they pointed to failing eyesight for their move away from 15s. Stopped playing Bolt Action 2 after becoming frustrated with a few of the rules, but pretty then only because the rules were often hard to read even when not buried away in a sea of text; perhaps I was spoilt growing up with Squad Leader. Becoming quickly frustrated with the new version for the same reason.

[Ludovic H.]

Hi,

I’m Ludo. I live in France. I’ve been war gaming for the last 10+ years. I have been a role player for the last 40ish years. I currently play at :

• Congo
• SAGA
• Musquets and Tomahawk
• Des tranchées au barricades

I have some flames of wars minis and rule books, but have never used them. I also own a bunch of Hail Caesar rules books, some Romans, some Carthage too (love the elephants there). I recently jumped on bolt action, as I’m more interested in skirmishing games than full-fledged battles.
Middle war and desert as my interested and will probably work on some free french at some point. I play a games at least once a month unless I’m too busy. I also maintain a blog in french.

 

 

[Daniel Morgan]

Hail and Hello,
My name is Daniel Morgan, and I am located in Tucson, Arizona.  I am part of a small local game group called Javelina Flight El Escuadron 857th, Vuelo del Javelina.
(Yeah long name.)  But we just call it “Javelina Flight”. We began as a Tucson-based squadron of players devoted to Wings of War — both WW1 and WW2. As time passed, we found ourselves more of a gaming and social group, and not limited to WoG. Now we meet whenever we can, sometimes at the last minute to enjoy a variety of miniature games, with the occasional board game.
We always welcome new folks who wish to join our merry band of Curmudgeons to play historical & Sci-fi games.  Since we found Warlord’s Black Seas we have been playing that the most lately.  (Since I am the semi-official model builder for the group, I end up being the one to buy and build them all)

Hi All,

I’m John. I paint miniatures that I will never use. Currently painting US Armored infantry for Bolt Action. Does anybody have any suggestion for gunners/crea/passengers for M3 halftracks? They look very lonely without somebody in them. The M2 gun needs gunners. I’ve used gunners from thew US tank crew set but that’s expensive.

Cheers

JSD
