Rangers Lead the Way with an Armored Fist!

Today we will have a look at the contribution of the Christchurch Wargaming Club.

The CWC is one of the largest clubs in New Zealand, and has a strong section of historical gamers. Many of us play Bolt Action and we have several torunaments each year, plus special events like an Operation Barbarossa multiplayer game or this year's D-Day event.

When I approached the club with the idea for Operation Good Cause they were immediately hooked and offered their support. After a bit of a discussion, we ended up with this package:

So our little give-away army just gained a Bolt Action rulebook, because let's face it, it is the most popular system for World War 2 at the moment (but I can tease you a bit by saying that it won't be the only rule set that will be included!). We also got a box of Rangers to add another platoon to the force. Beside that, one can never have too many transports, so we have 2 halftracks. And last, but not least, a 75mm pack howitzer and a 57mm anti-tank gun. We chose an Airborne and US Army version to make the crews interchangeable to offer maximum variation.

So together with what I already showed you, we now have:

64 Airborne
25 Rangers
1 57mm ATG
1 75mm pack howitzer
2 M3 Halftracks
1 M5 Stuart
1 M10 Wolverine
2 M8/M20 Armored Cars
1 Bolt Action 2nd Edition book

Next time, we will announce our first intermediate give-away, and then we will start reviewing the material we got from our sponsors. Stay tuned!
