Bolt Action @ 6000pts+ per side

Recently I suggested (here) that it was only a matter of time before the lads at the Peninsular Wargames Group were going to test Bolt Action at 6000pts a side. It happened sooner than I thought - in the form of a demo game at the annual University of Cape Town Dragonfire gaming convention last month.

I wasnt involved in the game, but I can report that 6000pts gets you over 70 dice if you have a Soviet Army horde, and over 50 if you are German Heer regulars and SS veterans, and each turn took about an hour to 90 minutes to play. I have put a selection of pix in a gallery and more (as well as a brief synopsis of the action) can be viewed at the Cape Town Wargamer blog.
