Field an elite force of Commandos, SAS, Paratroopers and Rangers to infiltrate the enemy lines under cover of darkness. Recruit SOE spies and local resistance fighters to bolster your chances. Launch attacks on radar stations, munition factories, airfields, bridges and rail lines. Sneak past sentries, take them out with silent attacks, or open fire with a devastating ambush. Plant charges to destroy your objective, assassinate a target or grab vital intel, then fight your way to safety before reinforcements arrive. Or play as the defenders, carefully setting patrol routes so your sentries can spot raiders in the shadows, utilize guard dogs, officers or even the dreaded Gestapo and make use of informants and intercepted transmissions to thwart the attackers’ plans. Inspired by classic war movies as well as historical events, 02 Hundred Hours is a fast paced game with roughly 10-20 models on either side. The game’s Alert system makes stealth a core part of the action – spotting your enemy in the darkness is key to victory! 0200 is about to release, keep up to date by checking out: Grey for Now W: https://greyfornow.com/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/greyfornow FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/525943848803187/

    Are Observers Useless in Bolt Action?

    Daniel talks about his experience using Forward Observers and tries (poorly) to get Tabletop simulator to play along! If you think these units are over costed, hold little value or you don't have ideas of how to use them, this video will lift the veil on most of their uses and applications for you to learn from. I've found them a very useful unit to include, although you need to consider whether it will suit your play style. Comment, critique and give feedback on how you might otherwise use Observers or whether you avoid them completely.
