Last night I played in my first Bolt Action WWII Game hosted by my friend Ralph. I was an excellent game pitting an attacking American Infantry Company against a defending German Infantry Company. The first time I looked at the table, I didn't think the Americans had a chance! Making a few good deployment choices and using a base of fire and maneuver concept helped the Americans though and they managed to squeak out a marginal victory! Here are a couple of photos of the excellent terrain and figures that Ralph has put together for the rules. Just awesome!

| My Command for the evening - An American Infantry Platoon of Two Squads and a Weapons/Command Team |

| The German defenders await the attack. A strong position with a small stream, stone walls and a town! |

| On the first shot of the game the German Pak40 destroyed the American armor support! |
 |
| Here is my unit forcing the stream defenses and bringing the fight to the Germans! |
Actually this is not the first time I have EVER played Bolt Action. It was, however, the first time that I played the rules correctly and with someone who would explain the rules to me BEFORE I was expected to make a game decision.
THANKS Ralph for a really great game! Thank you also to my fellow American commanders - AJ, Dave and Charlie and our capable enemy commanders - Ed, Owen and Rob.
