In september 2016 I played my first Battlegroup Overlord game. It was an encounter between US and German forces in Normandy. The scenario was defence line. It was a squad game with +/- 325 points for each side.
I've made a battlegroup sheet which I found to be very handy next to the batlle table. It's a word file which is very easy to fill in. You can download it here.
This is how it looks like when the sheet has been completed in word. Very easy!

I'm not a big fan of cardboard counters on a miniature wargame terrain. I tried to make some counters that blend into the battlefield but are still visible enough.
This is a pin marker represented by barbed wire
When you roll for your orders, I prefer to have some counters which can be put next to the unit. It gives you and your opponent a clear view which unit has done something and it's easier to remember in the next turn what your opponent did. At the start of your next turn you remove your orders and roll for new ones. Works perfectly!
This is how I represent Ambush counters. A unit pops up from behind a wall
The reserve move counters. A tank (or any other unit) suddenly makes a move
Pin markers! Oh they can be a pain in the a...
Order markers. Perfectly blend in into the terrain
Last Saturday (on D-DAY!) I played my first Bolt Action Game. It was an 800 points game Americans versus Germans in Normandy.
I play in 1/72 with lots of material from The Plastic Soldier Company but also Revell, Italeri, Waterloo1815 and Heller are frequently used to make my models.
Still lots of work to do but that's the fun about this hobby, it never stops
The last year I did a whole lot of research on the internet and didn't stop saying 'wauw' all the time!
It's incredible to see all these models and scenery made by a lot of fellow gamers. Lots of you guys are real artists!
Ok here we go with some pictures in comic style (I really like this sort of AAR) of the first part of my first Bolt Action game. Hope you like it!
