Bolt action in the Pacific !!

Got to play bolt action at my local game store in Selden NY Brothers Grim . Great store with a lot of great events and tons of gaming space . So back to bolt action . The setting was a sweltering pacfic island jungle . The mission we rolled up was a bunker defense . My buddy playing as the marines deployed two squads on the objective , holding the rest in reserves  . I was playing as the Japanese . I was able to deploy my entire force up to 18 inches away from the objective in the center of the table . Who ever controlled the objective in the center of table at the end of turn 6 wins . Game started off with my Japanese bursting out of the jungle full speed trying to get into charge range . The steadfast marines opening fire . Trying to break the fanatical Japanese . My Japanese mortar team began accurate mortar fire on the marines position . Hopefully I'd be able to assault in and dig in before marine reserve could come in . The battle on the objective was horrible with a marine flame thrower desimating a enemy squad . But in the end the banzai attack proved costly . Almost totally wiping out the marines . Finally when the dust settled a few marines were left winning the game . But not with a heavy price . Great game , great opponent . If you have an interest in ww2 28 mm wargaming give bolt action a try . For this game we were using two 1000 strait out of the box starter armies . Which retail for about $ 120.00 US  . A awesome deal for any one starting out . Till next time may you dice roll 6"s
