FALL OFFENSIVE

This event is aimed at revitalizing the local Bolt Action scene in the area. It seems that since the
pandemic and just before the launch of 3rd Edition, a lot of the local Bolt Action groups have
dwindled. While games may not have been happening there has definitely been an ongoing
want for more hosted events it just seemed that local hobby organizers may have slowed down.
I have spoken with plenty of local wargamers at multiple different LFGS and it seems they are
more than interested in diving back into full-on Bolt Action gaming; this event is one of many
that will hopefully accomplish that.
This event is a smaller one consisting of lists of 450pts and encompassing two games where
victory points will be earned and tracked for tournament placing. Having a smaller
beginner-friendly tournament is crucial as it makes it more approachable for those that may be
on the fence, returning after a hiatus or those that are more rusty on the ruleset. Furthermore, to
allow this to be a beginner-friendly event I have offered up multiple loaner forces from my
collection to be used on that day. This allows people who are interested in the game system to
try it out and hopefully get them into an amazing, friendly wargaming community. Finally the
smaller amount of points allows for people returning to or learning the game to take time with
the rules and ask questions when needed, where I will be there to answer.
To wrap up, as previously mentioned that hope of this game day is to be one of many going
forward. Hopefully this event can catalyze future support to have larger tournaments. I have
been in contact with a fellow hobbyist in Moncton (a larger nearby city) to already plan a future
tournament day in late November. To create momentum to achieve this community
engagement, I plan to offer prize support hopefully granted by you guys at the Warlord Games
Team. I also will be making some homemade plaques for: Top General (first place), Wooden
Spoon (last place) and Best Painted. Having the last one being voted on the day of. Finally I
wish to create a spoof trophy cup for the local area for the ‘2025-2026 season’ so to speak.
Naming it the Golden Tiger, having it 3d-printed with my printer and painted gold. With the
winner of each local tournament named on a plaque upon the trophy. All of this combined will
ideally create lots of local engagement and future attendance within the local Bolt Action
community.
Bolt Action has been my main wargaming hobby for years now and I wish to share this
wonderful game system with as many people as I can. For me at the end of the day it allows
you to talk about your hobby with others, de-stress, share laughs and admire cool paintjobs!
