Rumble in the Rubble LV 2026

Rumble in the Rubble is our annual event celebrating the brutal close-quarters battles of World War II. This year we’re leaning even further into the narrative side of the hobby, with themed scenarios that highlight some of the unique and memorable rules that have appeared throughout Bolt Action’s history.

These special rules are designed to be fun, cinematic, and thematic. However, they can sometimes favor a bit of luck over pure tactical precision. While the event will still include a competitive element, competition is not the primary focus—our goal is to create a memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.

We’re also excited to announce that this year marks the first introduction of a Beginner’s Bracket. New players are highly encouraged to join in and experience the fun, even if you’re not completely familiar with every rule yet. This bracket is intended to provide a welcoming environment to learn the game, roll some dice, and enjoy the hobby with other players.

Whether you’re a veteran commander or brand new to the battlefield, we hope you’ll join us for a weekend of close-quarters chaos, cinematic moments, and plenty of dice rolling.
