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.

Games were fought over some spectacular battlefields, some of which can be seen below…

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.
