Bolt Action RAF Downed Pilot
Still sticking with my new Bolt Action 28mm scale figures, here is something different from my usual American and German forces - a British RAF downed pilot.
This is Squadron Leader "Topper" Redfern who has just bailed out of his Spitfire, having been hit by a German pilot. He has landed in no-man's land, hoping the Allies will rescue him before the Germans capture him.
In the Bolt Action rulebook, there is a scenario called Top Secret, in which both sides must locate the crash site of a downed plane to retrieve a briefcase containing secret documents. There is no reason why the objective couldn't be this downed pilot instead, making him an ideal objective marker. Try to rescue him before your opponent catches up with him.

Great looking model Bryan, and a nice alternative for the scenario, what would also be cool, is two points of objective, with a fixed point of the crashed plane, and a moving objective of the pilot, with the hidden plans being at a randomly selected objective, so you need to aim for both to be sure of getting the plans
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Dave. I love that idea! It adds an extra level of complexity and intrigue.
DeleteSplendid-looking mini, Bryan, and a corking objective if ever I saw one. Love the idea of him moving about the battlefield (presumably away from the Axis) too. Great posting - really enjoying these "Bolt Action" articles of yours.
ReplyDeleteVery much appreciated, Simon. As soon as I saw the figure on the Warlord games' webstore I knew I had to have him for an objective marker.
DeleteA nice looking figure.
ReplyDeleteHe is, Phil, he most certainly is.
DeleteNice work. Great as an objective marker!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Simon. My thoughts exactly.
DeletePerfect for an objective marker & gives a great reason for the game been played out,also needless to say it would be a shame not to use him after such a fine paintjob :)
ReplyDeleteThank you most kindly, Frank, and well said!
DeleteMy name is Olisa Blessing, I am so happy. I never believe I will be this happy again in life. I have worked as an air hostess ( cabin crew ) for 3years but early this year, I failed my career because of this deadly disease called Herpes virus (HSV).
ReplyDeleteI never felt sick or notice any symptoms. Not until the day all workers were asked to bring their current doctor's report card, that was how I got tested and I found out that I'm HSV positive and that made me lose my job because it was considered as an STD and is an incurable disease.
I was so depressed to the extent that I started thinking of suicide. I explained my situation to an older friend of mine, who often said to me 'a problem shared is a problem half solved.
She felt so pity for me that she referred me to Dr. Utu Herbal Cure, that was how I contacted Dr. Utu and got the medication from him and was cured for real.
I went back to my work a month later with a HERPES NEGATIVE test result. They were astonished and curious when they saw my HSV NEGATIVE result so they carried out another test on me in the company lab to be very sure and they found out I am indeed a HERPES VIRUS FREED PERSON.
Finally, the initial HERPES POSITIVE result was replaced with a new HERPES NEGATIVE test result, and my position was given back to me with an apology letter and a salary increase.
Beware of impersonators,
Dr. Utu can only be reached at:
