Bolt Action St. Nazaire Wargame

In this episode, Little Wars TV joins the British commandos for a daring raid against the German-controlled dry-dock at St. Nazaire on March 28, 1942.

St. Nazaire has been called "the greatest raid of all," but today we'll call that claim into question. After debating the history of the St. Nazaire raid, our club sets up the port in 28mm scale with tons of 3D printed terrain, using the rules Bolt Action by Warlord Games.

Can the commandos set demolitions charges on the key port facilities, or will the German garrison react quickly enough to stop this raid in its tracks? Let's find out!

A special thanks to Sean Clark for his narration. We are fans of his podcast, “God’s Own Scale,” and encourage you to add it to your regular diet of wargaming podcasts!

Next week we'll be back with a review of Bolt Action to dissect the strengths and weaknesses of this very popular set of rules. As promised in this episode, you'll also join us for a day at the range to compare the 1928A Thompson and the British Sten gun.
