This is basically the 500pt force, plus:
Thankfully chum Colin is kindly loaning me the extra figures I need. My Paras were collected with Chain of Command in mind, so I'm a few figures away from a full 1,000pts in Bolt Action. Reinforcements will be on the way soon.
Thus far I've played almost three games: a win, a loss and the third game didn't get finished. They've all been great fun. Given my lack of practical Bolt Action experience I'm not expecting to do that well, but anyway I'm mainly going along to see old friends, make new friends and have some fun!
Hopefully I'll have a full AAR and show report next week.
