South African Nationals

The South African Nationals has been a regular event on the Bolt Action calendar in South Africa, but due to vast traveling distances in South Africa and the cost involved it is not always possible to get all the players together for a tournament in one place. We have there for opted to host the national event on alternating years between the Southern areas (Cape Town) and the Northern areas (Pretoria) for the people able to attend and then host mini tournaments in each area every year for the ones not able.

This year it is the chance for the North to show their mettle. The Bolt Action community in South Africa has seen tremendous growth over the last year with a lot of new players joining the game, last year we hosted a local tournament with 2 divisions for new and experienced players, to make sure same level experienced players together. The Nationals this year will be the culmination of all the hard work of the new guys to come to show off their skill on the big stage and all in the same category. We have decided that the army points for the tournament will be 1100pts and a 20 order dice cap, to make it a bit easier and more flexible for newer players who does not yet have a full fledged army to still compete and learn how to build a army to compete over various missions. For most players in the North this will be their first Nationals and we are proud to say that there are also a lot of interest from other people all over South Africa.
