I've found that Bolt Action 2nd Edition was a good improvement over the original. There isn't too much going on the rule set that makes us stop and go 'hang on, why are they doing it like that'. Also the improvements have made the random activation even more useful with officers being able to activate units around them. However, I'm always up with trying out new things. I'll have a dig and see if I can find a copy of the Iron Cross rule art that is modestly priced to try out. Worst case I'll have a new book for the shelf. Thanks for being it to our attention.

You guys play Bolt Action don't you... have you tried Iron Cross? Since it's all WW2 I gather you can switch rulesets with no need for different models?<br /><br />Mikey Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355959932852753291.post-30924102735100917462017-07-14T15:27:55.964+01:002017-07-14T15:27:55.964+01:00Thanks!

I just try to handle my models carefully and put the powder in places where it won't rub off too quickly. Years later, my orks still look ok, if a little less sandy.Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494958315546165602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355959932852753291.post-71960697663303405502017-07-14T15:23:52.077+01:002017-07-14T15:23:52.077+01:00I do love me some grunge :)I do love me some grunge :)Charliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05494958315546165602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355959932852753291.post-19068992551492358422017-07-14T15:12:53.102+01:002017-07-14T15:12:53.102+01:00Yeah, you did a bang up job on the Goliath.
