Hull & East Riding Wargames Club – Bolt Action Competition
The Hull & East Riding Wargames Club is the new name for what used to be North Hull Wargames Club. The club came into being in the 1960’s with famous members including Peter Gilder, Duncan MacFarlane and Harry Harrison. Since that time the club has developed with the times including many other well known people in our hobby.
In 2021 we moved locations to the current residence at Garden Village Community Centre in Hull, meeting every Saturday between 12pm to 6pm.
This is the first Bolt Action organised competition at the club. After a lot of interest in Bolt Action by members it was suggested to create a fun competitive competition. Eighteen members have put their name forward to play.
The competition will be organised in the following way. Two leagues of nine people, each player in their league will play an opponent once, (8 games). The person at the top of the league after all games have been played will play the other league’s winner in a final game to see who is champion. As well as prizes provided by Warlord Games, a trophy will be purchased. This will encourage the club to hold the event at least on an annual basis.
We choose Bolt Action 3 for its fantastic game play, realistic Second World War details, and flexibility. A number of new members have recently purchased the Bolt Action 3 rule book as well as figures to get ready for the game. With Warlord Games generous prize offer, the competition will undoubtedly be a success. Any interest from non members are welcome to visit and join in from 12pm to 6pm every Saturday. Photos and comments will be added on the facebook page.
