Drew’s Adepticon 2026 Bolt Action Recap
As promised a recap and photo dump of our Bolt Action game from AdeptiCon 2026. Our gaming club, Iron Dice Gaming decided to go very early war with this Bolt Action battle which we also played out with Chain of Command the next day – Battle of Hannut early war French vs. Germans.

Brush & Sandbags Part: 5
I finished building my side quest models mentioned in part four and it took a turn I did not see coming but glad it did. I was very unhappy with the metal US Army chemical mortar cast but it looked a lot cooler than the 3d printed one as it had some sandbags on the base plates. At first I thought I could file/Dremel out … Continue reading Brush & Sandbags Part: 5

Brush & Sand Part: 4
Ok it’s been a minute. Deployment was a bit more of a challenge than I anticipated. Meetings by day and directing work crews by night. Very little painting got done and I lost interest as Warlord Games released a new US Airborne kit and Colonel Muller released really nice STL for US Airborne. What can I say, I’m a model snob. As soon as I … Continue reading Brush & Sand Part: 4

Hold the Line – Siege of Bastogne
This year I ran “Hold the Line – Siege of Bastogne” – for Bolt Action with the 101st holding the line in the Ardennes. I based it mostly on the scenario from the Battle of the Bulge campaign book. I purposely left the board 4×4 instead of 6×4 and fully covered in woods to really bring home the feeling of lack of visibility and confinement being in the frozen forest. Continue reading Hold the Line – Siege of Bastogne
Battlegroup: Clash of Reconnaissance (intro+turn 1)
This scenario is in the Battlegroup Kursk book, and is geared towards a demo/learning game of Battlegroup. It’s a Squad sized game, so relatively quick. This is played in 15mm, on a 4×6 table. I’ve matched the table the best I could, along with the army lists. The minor change I’ve made is a Soviet T-60 instead of T-70, as I didn’t have a T-70 painted.
