Historical Bolt Action II
2023-10-01 00:00 | 80, Via Alfonso Paltrinieri, Modena, MO, 41122, Italy
Historical Bolt Action, as the name suggests, aims to bring more historical lists and scenarios to the tabletop. Each event takes place in one of these 3 periods: Early war (30s – 41), Mid war(21-43) and Late war(44- 45), so each player has to choose a list that is restricted to that period. In addition, there are some limitations and adjustments to the rules made to encourage people to fully theme their armies around the actual historical forces – it’s a refreshing challenge for players used to more traditional tournament-style armies!

The team players will use different national armies, for example a team could not include two German army lists.

“Time spent in Reconnaissance is seldom wasted”- Erwin Rommel
Operation Aldershot: Recon Rumble is a themed Bolt Action event based around the idea of reconnaissance patrols. These patrols were sent out ahead of the main force to gather information and disrupt enemy formations. As such we have made some adjustments to the force organisation to better encapsulate this theme.
The event is suitable for both those new to Bolt Action events and more experienced players, and we encourage players to use both thematic and less seen units and forces.

Bolt Action-turnering BSK 40
2023-11-04 00:00 | Bäckängsgymnasiet, Schélegatan 7, Borås, Borås, 504 56, Sweden
This is the Bolt Action tournament which is an event at the Borås Spelkonvent which will be held for the 40th time this year! Last year the tournament was a beginner friendly event as a warm up to the WTC held in Spain. We saw players from all over Sweden as well as Denmark trying out lists and having a good time. We didn’t quite expect such a massive turnout last year but since it happened we wanted to make it a more formal type of event from now on.
It will be a WTC Warmup this year as well and as such we will use the WTC rules for listbuilding. 1-2 generic reinforced platoons, 1000 pts, 3 games. We will be using a swiss style matchup which means the more competitve players will end up facing eachother and the more casual players will play eachother in the later stages. We hope everybody will have a good time and we really want to reward as many players as possible – great competetive play, good painting, good sportsmanship and more.
