The sentries report Zulus to the South West. Thousands of them.

Come and help defend a stretch of the barricades or try to break through them. All miniatures will be provided on the day (unless you want to bring some of your own) and folks will be on hand to show you how the game works if you’ve never played it before.
Why us, Sarge?
Because we’re ‘ere lad. Nobody else, just us…

The last Bolt Action day was so popular that we’re doing it again, this time with added Warlords of Erehwon!
While both share a few common mechanics, Bolt Action is a World War 2 based skirmish game while Warlords of Erehwon is a fantasy system. If you have any kind of army for a fantasy game, chances are you can use it in Erehwon. Come down and see just how flexible the army lists are.
We’ll be playing from 11am until 4pm so bring an army if you want to join in the games if you already have one or drop in for an intro game at any point during the day.

Lost Ark Games
1st Floor, Queensway Chambers, 58 Queensway, Stevenage

Tickets available from http://www.lostarkgames.com/events/bolt-action-tournament-november-pain.

As Shrapnel is more of a controlled event we’ve decided to run this one as a bit of fun. So rather than restrict the army lists or be too historically accurate it will be gloves off, no holds barred, bare knuckle event.
We will accept any 1,000 point list comprising up to 2 Reinforced Infantry Platoons from the Army or Campaign books. Yes, that’s a chance to bring out the cheese! Tank platoons, however, are not permitted.
3 Scenarios to be announced on the day, first round kicks off at 9.30AM.
We will be throwing in a couple of amendments to the rules:
Preparatory bombardments will follow our usual rule of only adding D6 Pins on a hit.
Snipers will apply exceptional damage to infantry squads or two-man teams, any exceptional hits on support teams, mortars etc, will result in a casualty but not remove the whole team.
We’ll be limiting it to 20 places with a reserve list, Lists to be sent into either myself or Ken on confirmation of entry. steve@lostarkgames.com
As ever there will be prize support of some form and the traditional wooden spoon prize for the first Fubar of the day.
We hope you’ll see this as a chance to run some fun lists and have an enjoyable day, our usual degree of Gentlemanly play is expected so all players are welcome regardless of experience.

Bolt Action campaign Never Ending War.
2018-09-29 | Northamptonshire
First mission brief, building session and practice games were on Saturday 1st Sept. Come and join the battles every weekend throughout October!

Campaign Background:

D-Day, Disaster-Day
D-Day has failed! The Allies plan for the invasion of Normandy lies in tatters. The loss of men and material is staggering, as is the blow to morale. The Axis powers were more prepared for the invasion than any planner could have expected. Massive troop and armour reinforcements at the Atlantic Wall, perfectly executed U-boat and E-boat ambushes and pin point bombing by the Luftwaffe shattered the invasion. Many of the troops already landed on the beaches were cut off with no hope of retreat. Airborne units inland hoping for a quick link up with the invasion forces found themselves overwhelmed. Only the fact that so many of the airborne drops had been off target saved the lives of many of the troops and they were able to escape into the countryside with elements of the Maquis, the French resistance. What began as an invasion ended as a desperate fighting withdrawal back to the British coast.

It was later ascertained that a single Allied officer, thought dead following a surprise E-boat attack during exercise Tiger in Lyme Bay in April of 1944, was in fact captured by the Germans. Tiger was a live fire training exercise for D-Day but was plagued with problems from the beginning. Ten officers, all with high level security clearance and knowledge of the invasion plans were thought killed during the E-boat attack. The Allies expended a massive effort in recovering the bodies of these officers to ensure operational secrecy of operation Overlord was maintained. With all the bodies finally recovered the invasion preparations could continue. Unknown to the Allies one officer had survived and was picked up by the E-boat. In an eerie repetition of the Allies own operation Mincemeat, the crew of the E-boat dressed one of their own casualties in the allied officer’s uniform. The body was then disfigured beyond all recognition using the engineer’s blowtorch, leaving just enough of the uniform and papers intact for identification. With this done the body was dumped back into the sea to await recovery. Rushed to Berlin the officer was soon under the influence of scopolamine, sodium pentothal and the persuasions of the interrogators of the SS. The Axis powers now had the intelligence needed to counter the Allied invasion plans.
Desperate Times, Desperate Measures
With defeat looming the allied high command had no choice but to implement a terrifying plan that they had hoped would never see the light of day. Now desperate for reinforcements in the European theatre the Allies had to draw forces from another war zone. But how to do this without handing another part of the world over to the Axis. A desperate plan was implemented that would have far reaching repercussions for those who made this ultimate deal with the devil as it became known. Since the very start of the war vast amounts of chemical weapons had been produced and stockpiled. At first this was as a last resort against the anticipated invasion of British Isles, but as the war progressed the three main Allied powers expanded this operation and began devising a dark and sinister plan. Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin agreed to the activation of this plan almost immediately following word of the invasions failure. With the three main Allied powers working together in the utmost secrecy new and even deadlier chemical weapons had been developed, many by accident, during the chemical build up. Every plane that could fly was pressed into service; bombers, fighters even civilian planes like some sick and twisted perversion of the Dunkirk assembly. Leaving many other theatres without air cover, and in some areas immediately losing valuable ground to the Axis planes, personnel and equipment were recalled for operation Scorched Earth.
Stalin himself suggested the site of the chemical bombing be his own country, stating that the peasants and workers of the Soviet Union would once again bear the brunt of the casualties for the good of the world. A blanket bombing of the front lines of the whole eastern front was agreed upon, finally giving Stalin his much sought-after buffer between himself and German forces. Never had so large a bombing campaign been mounted, dwarfing anything that had gone before. The entire eastern front, stretching for thousands of kilometres, was to be systematically poisoned. Effectively destroying all life along the front and at the same time creating an impassable barrier into the Soviet Union, freeing up millions of much needed troops for the Allies. Utilising excellent use of maskirovka,Stalin, ever the creative opportunist, had begun replacing front line veteran regiments with penal battalions, political prisoners and a host of other enemies, both real and perceived. Seeing that he could quite literally kill many birds with one stone. Along with this troop movements massive canisters of gas were moved into position all along the eastern front, seeding the area with even more potential death. Assisting the aerial elements of the operation massed batteries of artillery and Katyushas would also rain chemical death into the front lines.
With nearly every aerial asset in the Allied arsenal tasked with this mission the sky was filled with enough planes to blot out the sun, and truly it was apt as Armageddon was unleashed. The bombing continued night and day as the massive area of land was saturated with obscene weapons. Chemical tanks were detonated all along the front as artillery rained down a continuous barrage of chemical death. Strong westerly winds helped spread the curtain of death well into the German lines destroying great swathes of army groups north, centre and south. The death toll on both sides was beyond description, nothing was spared soldier, civilian, animal and fauna were wiped from existence over a 3,000-kilometre front. As the myriad of chemicals used mixed, new and unexpected toxins were released. Solid steel tanks dissolved as easily as ice cubes under a hot sun. The land for many miles either side of the front line became impenetrable by land, sea or air due to the chemical morass and would remain this way for an unknown amount of years. If the land was to ever recover it would not be in the lifetimes of those who caused it and possibly not even in their children’s lifetimes.
Redeployment, Resumption
Following the losses during D-Day and operation Scorched Earth to both the Axis and Allies, fresh troop reinforcement was essential for both sides. The map of the war had changed dramatically and for a short time the war seemed to pause, perhaps to catch its breath or perhaps in horror at the devastation wrought in its name. What ever the reason forces all around the globe were able to redeploy to better prepare for the changing face of the war. In a reversal of previous events convoys of ships filled with Soviet soldiers left Arkhangelsk and Murmansk bound for the UK where they were further deployed to a variety of theatres around the world. Reserves of fresh US troops began the arduous journey across the Atlantic to bolster the depleted forces in Europe and Africa. An attempted coup in Italy set the country afire. A civil war erupted for a short while, with many Italian army and air force elements re-joining their old Axis partners once again, somewhat boosting Mussolini’s ailing Italian Social Republic in Northern Italy. Wishing to avoid a similar fate as the German eastern front forces, the Japanese cancelled their plans for any invasion of the Siberia. Seeing their own bacteriological weapons created by Detachment 731 to be of no match to the Allies ability, instead they began massive troop movements to Europe and Africa at the behest of the German high command.
New battle lines were drawn as the world prepared for the continuation of the war. Dark pacts and alliances of desperation had saved both sides from defeat. But what repercussions they would have in an unclear future was unknown to all. Would the ending of the war see the world saved or destroyed?

house rules
SO for those of you that missed the mission brief here is a quick overview.

Buildings: Abstract rules will stand but before each game players can agree to use the standard movement, shooting, melee rules etc if they both agree. We took this decision as we may not always be using the accessible interior 4ground models for scenery, this seemed the fairest option.
There are no compulsory games, you can play who you want when you want.
If you play someone who is on your side in the campaign it is deemed a training exercise before an actual operation. You still record details for the Sniper Challenge and Leadership Challenge but you do not count victory points towards overhaul campaign results.
If you are playing an enemy then you again record info for the challenges and victory points count towards the campaign outcome.
There will be some specific games that will need to be played and the points values of those games can be split between any number of players from each side.
The outcome of certain scenarios will also have an effect in future games so please be sure to inform me of your scenario played along with victory points and all relevant date for the mission.
There will also be some surprise missions thrown out there that request certain units or armies so be prepared to be fighting some unusual missions when your country calls!

If you have any questions please let me know.
Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!!!!!

Achieve the Challenge & Win the prize!

Sniper challenge! For the duration of the Never Ending War Campaign, we will be looking for the most amazing sniper kill shot with appropriate trophies for the top 3. Record all your sniper shots, distance and target value of kills from your games and we will collate the results and see who is the deadliest sniper at the end of the campaign. All sniper shots results must be confirmed by your opponent before submission.

Leadership Challenge! Our 2nd challenge of the campaign. Who has the most inspirational General? And who has the most inept! Record all Inspired Leadership and Fubar rolls during the campaign and feedback to me with your results. We will see who is Captain Dunsel and who is a true leader of men.

The goal of this short summer league it to allow players to gradually build up forces for a GoA Tournament to be held Saturday Sept 1st. It runs from July to September 2018. The escalation format means new players and existing players starting a new force can start off small and gradually expand their force, using the painted forces as soon as they can – no waiting for a full-sized army! By the end of the tournament, large armies can be fielded and everyone should be able to field the new, fun toys (flying tanks YES(!), like the Boromite Hauler, the Concord & Freeborn Heavy Combat Drones and Algoryn Heavy Combat Skimmers).
All against the backdrop of the new faction, The Virai Dronescourge from the equally new supplement, The Dronescourge Returns.
Final Date/Time: Saturday September 1st, 2018, starting at 10am sharp (get there beforehand to set up)
Where: Adler Hobby’s Board Game Cafe, 138 Wayne St, Manchester, NH, 03102-3739, USA.
Format: Three months prior to the event are escalating 750, 1000 and 1250 point games. The final day’s tournament is a two-round tournament at 1300 points using random mission cards.

DEPLOYMENT CLAUSE (Familiarize yourself, this is used in all missions)
This deployment clause applies to ANY and ALL missions. What this means is this is the same deployment protocol for all the missions used. UNLESS the mission specifically makes exceptions.
Both teams roll a die. The highest rolling team chooses a deployment zone, the other team sets up in the opposite zone. The team who chose their zone first deploys his force first.
Both teams may keep up to half their units in reserve, rounding down. Any and all units not in reserve are deployed in the established zones as per the mission.
Reserves may outflank unless specified in the mission.
Spotters, observers, and snipers are deployed after both teams have placed their non-reserved units. As per the rules on page 131.

Shrapnel 2018 - Bolt Action Tournament
2018-05-13 | Lost Ark Games, First Floor, Queensway Chambers, 58 Queensway, Stevenage Town Centre,, Stevenage, SG1 1EE, United Kingdom
Shrapnel 2018 Tournament Guidelines.
Sunday 13th May, 9.00AM
Welcome to the second year of Shrapnel, it has grown this year to 22 players, so thank you for signing up. Lost Ark Landsers Bolt Action group are a friendly bunch of people and new players are always made welcome.
Armies
Build a 1000pt list using either 1 or 2 Reinforced Platoons. There are no Tank Platoons in this event.
We would like to ensure that Shrapnel is enjoyed by all players, therefore we would like the Armies selected to follow a theme or be historically correct for the year. To do this either use your army book and choose those units that were available to your chosen nation, or use a particular theatre selector. Your army book gives dates and theatre selectors which will give you a list of those units available.
You can also use campaign books to select your forces, however there are some dodgy lists in these, for example the Soviet Stalingrad, and some Japanese selectors come to mind, 4 snipers or 4 heavy howitzers is not very friendly. We all like to win, but when you have made your list ask your self would I like to play against this army. Just because you can, doesn?t mean you should.
Market Garden:
If you wish to bring a British Para list from Market Garden, all units selected must be brought as veterans where the option exists. You must also add 1 pt per model to make them stubborn.
XXX Corp is a Tank Platoon for the purposes of this event.
Odds n sods
Brandenburgers must be off the table for their redirection rules to apply.
In the worse case scenario the Tournament Organiser has the right to ask you to change your list to fit the ethos of the Stevenage Landsers.
You must bring your army book and any book, or a hard copy of an official Warlord games pdf. where your theatre list is included, this allows your opponent to be able to read any special rules that apply.
Army list where possible should be made on http://boltaction.easyarmy.com/ it helps with the checking. However its not 100% correct so please check it against your army book, or theatre selector.
Please feel free to contact Ken on the below email to discuss your army list.
Please email your list to Kennomeat@gmail.com by the 23rd April
Games
There will be 3 games of 2 hours 15 mins, the scenarios to be used will be disclosed on the day of the event, so choose you armies carefully. These are likely to be from the 2nd rule book but with minor tweaks.
Italians
This army usually plays without access to the majority of its national rules, therefore in this tournament at the beginning of any game where the scenario does not have an attacker/defender both players will roll to see if they are either attacking or defending. Roll a d6 highest roll gets to choose. If the Italian player loses they get to re roll as per Italian national rule.
How to win
Battle points will be awarded for a win, draw, and loss. Win = 5pts, draw = 3pts, loss = 1pt.
Secondary objectives: In every game there will be an option to grab another battle point, make sure you keep it in your sights.
In the event of more than 1 player having the highest number of Battle Points, the difference between units killed and units lost will be the deciding factor.
Terrain
All tables will be pre-set on the day, please do not move any of the terrain. Ruins will be classed as dense terrain as described in the rule book. As there is always a mix of hedges and walls which causes confusion over cover, treat all such pieces as being chest high on an upright model. This should also help with cover claimed by vehicles. Bocage is slightly different and is over head height, it blocks line of sight until 1? away.
Cover
Many people are hazy on what cover you get from certain classes of terrain and when it applies. Two main ones are firing in, from, or into cover, and what happens when you are up against cover. In the first instance cover will apply if you are more than 1 inch apart from your target, or are more than 1 inch from the edge of the terrain and firing out. In the second case if both units are up against a wall neither will get cover. This is the same for buildings as it can be assumed grenades and bullets are being launched in through windows and doors, defenders will get the +1 to the roll required to kill still.
In all other cases discuss what each piece of terrain does at the beginning of the game.
If you are unable to attend then please let us know as early as possible in order to allocate your place to somebody on the reserve list.
Spectators are more than welcome to attend and view proceedings but please be aware that this a timed round Tournament and respect the concentration of the players.
