Well, a pretty good snow storm today led me to spend the day on Bolt Action painting and construction. I managed to get 16 more Germans painted and based. I am waiting for the glue to dry and then I will finish them with wash. Four of the figures that I painted were for a 75mm AT gun crew. tomorrow I will get to work on the base and the final painting of the gun. Pics will be forthcoming soon.
I also got some work done on some some objective markers for the upcoming Italian Bolt Action Campaign at Adler Hobbies. Here are some photos with captions of the objectives I got done today. There are two more markers on the workbench right now. I will save any explanation of those until I have photos.

| Two objective markers - a fuel dump and an engineer equipment supply point. Both of the objectives are covered by camouflage netting. |
 |
| Close up of the Engineer Equipment - obviously there are some mines included in the stash! The supplies include a couple of rolls of concertina wire. |
 |
| The fuel dump would have been important to Germans in the later years of the war. Not sure of the markings, but if I recall correctly POL is Class III of supplies in the US military. The marker shows a 'III' so I thought it was a good addition. |
Overall this was a very productive day! Combined with the acquisition of the Corgi die cast 1:50 scale vehicles this has been a great Bolt Action Week! I will have more pics in the next couple of days.

The big three: Class I, III, and V--rations, fuel, and ammunition (or as we used to say, "food, fuel, and ammo").
Blast from the past. Very nicely done, too --should add much to the look of the table.
Nice objectives. The homemade cammo netting really sets them off well!
