Fire and Fury - Bolt Action @ Beachhead 2025
2025-02-08 09:00 - 2025-02-09 18:00 | BOURNEMOUTH Int CENTRE, Exeter Road, Bournemouth, Bournemouth, BH2 5BH, United Kingdom
Welcome to the Beachhead 2025 Bolt Action tournament!
In 2024 we made our last stands on the tabletop to see who had the mettle to carry the day! On February 8th and 9th we will again be hitting the table to see who emerges victorious over five games – this time following the Bolt Action version three rule set!
As is tradition at Beachhead, we have a theme (although this is not compulsory) and this year it is… Against All Odds!
We will be looking for armies who went into battle outnumbered or out gunned who, win or lose, fought against all odds. This could be based off a small engagement such as the Belgium defence of the K-W line in May 1940, or something much larger like the massed forces of the Wehrmacht at Kursk in the summer of 1943.
As usual your armies do not have to follow this theme, but they will not be entered for the ‘Best Themed’ award. For those who are following the theme, please let us know when you submit your list and, if you have any write ups or sources that complement your army choices, please do send them in as we are always interested in reading the history behind the armies that turn up on the tabletop.

The VWA was formerly known as The RAF Wargames Association and has been in existence since the mid-1980’s. The group’s members had become so diverse (mainly due to retirement and the ever-decreasing size of the UK military) that a couple of years ago it was decided to change its name to encompass the more wide-ranging mix of its current membership! A small group of us have been running a Bolt Action (Second Edition) competition for the last few years and are especially excited to try out the new, Third Edition of Bolt Action!

III Spanish National Couples Tournament Bolt Action Hispania
2025-03-15 08:30 - 20:00 | Asociación Cultural Battle Bunker, Asturias Kalea, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Araba, 01003, Spain
This is the third instalment in a series of really successful couples
tournaments series. Just with that in mind should sufice. Nearly having
doubled the number of participants that it had in the previous edition,
it unites mainly players from Mid-Northern Spain, from west coast to
east coast. It comes in a really crucial time when local communities are
having interest in other WWII based miniature games. Thus making this
kind of tournament even more important to build up and strengthen the
Bolt Action Community.
Local companies are supporting this event with big efforts to make this
tournament shine and will definitely be the most important tournament of
the first half of the year. Every participant will recieve a welcome
pack with really useful and charismatic contents. A half morning break
is organised for having a bite and beverage between games. Also a lunch
will be prepared for all the participants. The gaming club where the
tournament is held has beverages for the participants in case they what
to drink anything during the tournament.
We understand that aesthetics play a big part in wargaming and the
experience of playing in superbly detailed tables is something every
participant deserves. That is why we have asked all local clubs and
shops to handle their best tables for this tournament. This will make
the tournament unique in every aspect.
Every hobbyist will have its place, not just those that focus on the
gaming side of the hobby. There will be prizes for best painted and
characterized armies and lots of surprises during the game.
We think those are more than enough reasons for anyone not just in Spain
but even in Albion to come here and play, but in case that is not enough
it would make no harm remembering the exquisite local cuisine and
historical sites that can be visited, making the tournament just the
“cherry on the pie” of a perfect weekend.
