Boats, Kriegsmarine and Greek New Year's cake

    There are scenarios in Bolt Action campaign books where it is neccessary to have some boats available in case your troops are forced to cross a river.

   For this reason I used foamboard and balsa wood to made six little boats. They are proper for tabletop games because their hull is flat.

   Two weeks ago I posted three photos of my Kriegsmarine. I understand that it is not fair to post a number of photos for every Red Army post and only three for these guys. So I decided to post some more photos of my squad.

   The other day we played another Bolt Action battle. This time we picked the scenario  "The opposed crossing of the Don River" from Stalingrad campaign book of Warlord Games. The Soviets had to cross the river while the Germans were pursuing them.

   One more time Antonios was victorious. His Germans managed to cut the way out and prevented the crossing of Don. So my Soviets lost.

   Here in Greece, we have a tradition on new year's day, the Vasilopita (Greek New Year's cake). We gather together, the whole family and our loved ones, to cut this cake, which has a lucky coin in it. The one who finds the coin in their piece of the cake has luck for the rest of the year. This year my youngest daughter Margarita found the coin! 

Καλή χρονιά! = Happy New Year!

   That's it for today! Stay tuned for more!
