When my son and I began playing Bolt Action, he was about 7. He really didn't like my machine-gun armed jeeps as I could rush in and pepper his infantry to bits with all the guns blazing. He usually won though by using his mortars. At first I usually let him win so that i could still have an opponent to play with.
8 years later, he still doesn't like my machine-gun jeeps, and I really am trying not to let him win. I still need to learn to take out his mortars!
Going through my Wargames Illustrated issues, I have found another article which I can turn into tabletop madness.
This force can be used with the 8th Army in North Africa and Italy, great to go with my Bolt Action theatre themed book. I also have sufficient trucks, jeeps and the like to give him a headache, no worry son, Tylenol is down in the medicine cabinet.
So this force I'm going to model with the figures I've painted up as Poles in para kit, and lots of the jeeps, and some carriers. those pesky ones he really hates, like the ones with flamethrower, mortar, MMGs, you know the stuff to make Germans grit their teeth.
