The dingo scout car commander calling in another mortar barrage
Bolt Action: A Close Shave in Burma


Both Shawn and Chris have recently painted Bolt Action armies, and they finally clashed in the jungles of Burma. The scenario was "Hold Until Relieved" from the rulebook with Chris' Japanese trying to take a bunker from Shawn's Gurkhas. The Emperor's troops managed the first part but not the second, successfully storming the objective only to be dislodged by a ferocious counterattack.

MVP of the game was Shawn's Dingo scout car. Surprised, by a hail of fire erupting out of the jungle and disturbing their morning, the crew immediately hosed down the offending Japanese 25mm gun destroying it. The diminutive vehicle then went on to call in highly effective indirect fire on the enemy before providing vital fire support for the charge that recaptured the objective bunker.

Great looking table and figures.
