X Detachment Episode 03 - Drop Zone [Bolt Action Battle Report] | Cinematic Tabletop

#boltaction #battlereport #cinematic
With Jedburgh agent Smith now rescued from the clutches of the SD, X Detachment move on to their next assignment. They must pick up vital supplies delivered via airdrop to arm their French Resistance allies. But the airdrop must take place deep behind enemy lines, near a busy thoroughfare used to transport the enemy to the front. Will the SAS achieve their objective or will the Wehrmacht overrun the drop zone?
Assembled from the finest of Britain’s fighting forces, X Detachment sow chaos among the ranks of the Wehrmacht from behind enemy lines. Nominally under the command of the SAS they range the woods, fields and lanes of Normandy disrupting lines of communication, destroying supply dumps and waging guerrilla warfare on the Axis occupiers. Lead by Captain Richard Hedley, X Detachment maintains a precarious existence in a secret war unknown to even many of their allies...

[@Filippo5]

I really love your battle reports, it would be awesome to see some napoleonic/AWI eventually ❤

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks! I think Sharpe Practice would be perfect for that. If only I had any minis for that period...

[@shockerck4465]

These are the best. I look forward to them. Thanks!

I love your video, only thing I noticed is that IED only came into use in 2003 so kind of stood out as an anachronism

[@cinematictabletop]

Nah, did my research on that, the term 'IED' was used in the early 20th century, popularised in the early 21st century during the Iraq war.

[@ArchaiKM]

@@cinematictabletop Oh, neat! What sources did you use to find it?

[@cinematictabletop]

Anecdotal TBH. Mostly from talking to an old fellow who was with the Royal Engineers. I think the term was first popularised during the Troubles in Ireland though he claimed that the sappers used the term back in the day @@ArchaiKM

[@dwelleratthedowns1974]

Must be a ton of work to put one of these videos together 🥵 Good stuff!

[@cinematictabletop]

Thanks! Yes it is a major pain in the arse. 😅

[@WoodImp]

It's here!

[@darrensbattlebunker]

Also what film was used at the beginning when the paras jump out the building? I recognise it

[@cinematictabletop]

The Longest Day, classic movie.

[@darrensbattlebunker]

@cinematictabletop ahh that's the one. Love that film. Been a while since I've seen it

[@JohnDoe-yr4wc]

Mein Leben lol

[@kaizimmer417]

The scenario seemed extremely unbalanced. Nevertheless nice production as always.

[@cinematictabletop]

Yes the cinematic reports generally don't feature particularly competitive or balanced lists, but are rather used to serve as a story-telling/exhibition format.
