English Eerie, game #1, entry #3. Things go from beastly to beastlier. I’d gotten stuck on the idea I first had for this entry, then suddenly realized this evening that I go a different direction. That worked nicely.

My Bolt Action game continues. As seen in the photos, the Germans currently have the Manor House secured. The Waffen SS took some casualties getting there, but they forced the Soviets out for the time being.

Meanwhile the Russians managed to get into position behind a roadside fence and used that cover to take down the German regulars working towards the lumber mill.

This board layout is certainly proving to heighten the already advantageous nature defenders usually enjoy.

I made a couple of changes mid game. I took the tanks off the table. They were making the Infantry too cautious and the game less enjoyable. So I just removed them and carried on, having far more fun.

I also started marking where casualties occur with little red cubes I stole from some boardgame back when. I thought it would be neat to see what areas prove to most dangerous.

Finally I got really annoyed measuring things for some reason. I’ve never read the Crossfire rules, but I’ve read about them. Just enough to be dangerous. So I’ve been hammering out some no-measuring concepts as I go. Nothing I’d share with the public or subject a live opponent to, but an added project that has proved to make the game a bit more fluid this time around.
