Held at Huzzah! 2022 over May 12th-15th in Portland, Maine, USA, Bolt Action players were eager to get back to testing their mettle on the tabletop after enduring months of being unable to do so. Triumphant Return was the first Bolt Action tournament held at the convention since the pandemic.

Huzzah! 2022

Elsewhere at the convention, there was lots of other Warlord Games action:

This game of Blood Red Skies saw valiant aviators fight it out over the Pacific ocean…
…whilst these ship captains braved the Cruel Seas.
John Elbro’s amazing Mega-City One table drew lots of admiration as perps and Judges clashed in games of Judge Dredd.

Dan can often be found contemplating the mound of unpainted minis building up under his desk. He has a tendency to roll lots of ones. He also has a tendency to complain about rolling lots of ones.
