Bolt Action: Expanding to 1000 Points

Add a comment By David

Now that I have more games of Bolt Action under my belt I've expanded my usual game size out to 1000 points, which means there's space to try out some new units and new tactics.

One of the main things I've found in a number of my games is that the Cromwell I was using in my earlier British lists didn't really contribute enough given it's high points cost. So I figured I would start to try playing with more infantry teams and light vehicles instead.

So here is the most recent force which I've been using, with a massive 15 order dice all up!
