Unit Reveal - Group Picture!

It's D-Day, and here is a picture of the full force in all its glory!

I thought it would be nice to get a picture of everything, including the WIP parts, to give you an impression of what's at stake!

We have the US Army on the bottom left, the finished Airborne on the bottom right, then the vehicles, including the unfinished Deuce and a half and armored cars, then a WIP platoon of Rangers on the top right and the unfinished Airborne on the top right.

So, with us being a bit behind the painting schedule, we thought it would only be fair to extend your deadline, too!

Raffle tickets are available until

Saturday, June 8^th, 8 PM CST (Beijing), 1 PM BST (London), 8 AM EDT (East Coast USA), 5 AM PDT (West Coast USA).

And just as a reminder: You can get raffle tickets by contributing through PayPal (there is a button on the top right of this website, if you can’t see it, switch from mobile to web view at the bottom of the page!). PayPal also allows you to use a credit card if you don’t have an account.

One ticket for the raffle is 2 NZ-$, which I about 1.35 US-$ or 1.20 Euros. Multiples of that give you multiple tickets, e.g. 20 NZ-$ give you 10 tickets.

So, when will we have the army finished? I can't guarantee anything, but I would say we will ship it to our lucky winner on the 17th of June, fully painted and ready to go.

What's next? I hope that we will have pictures of the finished M8 Scott, Deuce and a half and at least a squad of Rangers before the deadline for contributions on Saturday.
Everything else will get its unit reveal, too, but likely after the raffle is done.

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!
