objective!

Bolt Action: Trouble in Hamilton
2024-03-30 08:30 - 17:00 | Hamilton Cosmopolitan Club, 32 Claudelands Road, Hamilton, Waikato, 3216, New Zealand
World War 2 is in full swing! Team Allies face off against Team Axis in this one day, beginner friendly Bolt Action event hosted by Parker Hobbies in collaboration with the Hamilton Immortals Miniature Wargaming Club.
Each team will be made up of 5 players, each member will play two 800 point games with their single reinforced platoon and 13 point dice limit. Heavy and medium tanks are discounted by 30% and 15% respectively, with the deadliest tank commander on the day scoring additional points for their team.

Operation: Trident - NSW Team Championships
2024-03-30 12:00 - 20:30 | West Ryde Anglican Church Hall, 14 Bellevue Ave, West Ryde, NSW, 2114, Australia
This event was created for the locals of NSW & the ACT to experience a fun day with their gaming peers. Despite having competitive elements, the purpose of combining players into three-person teams is to elevate the enjoyment of bolt action through intra and inter team interactions. This also alleviates some of the pressures of winning as you’re now bound by the combined results of your team.
The event will be very player-friendly and even though there can only be one winner, prize support will lean towards participation, rather than the top end.
The tournament organisers would love to see you and your buddies have a cracking time, so come prepared for some laughs and some tears, and we look forward to seeing you there.
– Three Person teams event
– Saturday 30th March
– 3 Rounds

Bolt Action English Nationals 2024
2024-04-06 08:30 - 2024-04-07 17:00 | The Holywell School, Red Lion Close, Cranfield, Bedfordshire, MK43 0JA, United Kingdom

The Brawl in the Hall 2024
2024-04-07 10:00 - 18:00 | SBT Comics and Games,, 699 Gardiners Road unit #3, Kingston, Ontario, K7M 3Y4, Canada
Are you a new Bolt Action player? Or are you a grizzled vet with dozens of tournaments under your belt? Either way, we have the event for you! Forget your boiler plate Bolt Action army list because the Brawl in the Hall is something new!
The format follows the popular SNAFU “Recon Rumble” format – a 750-point, reinforced infantry platoon, maximum armour of 7+ (please request the players pack for specifics). The emphasis is on mobile units, fast paced play, and bold play. This allows transports, mobile infantry, and 7+ vehicles from the Armoured Car Selector to come into their own.
The three scenarios for this event have all been tweaked specifically for this format. The back story is your units are behind your own lines but due to a sudden breach in the front, you are being thrown into a tactically fluid crisis! Speed and daring will bring you to victory!
While this is a “competitive” event, the emphasis is on having a fun day of Bolt Action! Novice players are more than welcome. Here is your chance to bring out your carriers, jeeps, cavalry, motorcycles, etc.
A Brawl in the Hall 2024: Bolt Action with a difference!!

2024-04-13 09:00 - 18:00 | Nopat ja taktiikka kerho (Dice and tactics club), Karvaamokuja 4, Helsinki, Uusimaa, 400380, Finland
Nopat ja Taktiikka ry järjestää vuotuisen Bolt Action turnauksen Noppakerholla. Turnaukseen mahtuu max. 20 pelaajaa. Tavoitteena on järjestää ns. Axis vs. Allies -turnaus eli tavoittelemme samaa määrää pelaajia kummallekin puolelle.

Turnauksen skenariot kerrotaan/annetaan turnauspäivän aamuna pelaajille, ja ne ovat erillisellä lapulla kullakin pelipöydällä.
Armeijalistat
Turnaus pelataan 1000 p armeijoilla. Listat on laadittava joko sääntökirjan tai armeijakirjojen geneerisillä listoilla, kampanjakirjojen ”selectorit ja” yksiköt eivät ole sallittuja. Muut mahdolliset armeijalistat tulee hyväksyttää turnausjärjestäjillä. Turnauslistat on laadittava EasyArmy-työkalun avulla.
Listassa saa olla yli 12 yksikköä, mutta pussiin voi laittaa enintään 12 noppaa. Yksikön tuhoutuessa noppa poistetaan pelistä vain, jos jäljelle jää alle 12 yksikköä. Tuhoutunut yksikkö lasketaan skenaarion mahdollisesti määrittelemiin voittopisteisiin.
Halutessaan pelaaja voi tehdä kaksi rinnakkaista listaa, joissa voi olla erilainen yksikkökoostumus, mutta pistemäärä sama. Samoin kaikki alla olevat listarajoitukset ovat molemmissa voimassa. Kun turnauksen skenariot kerrotaan turnauspäivän aamuna, pelaajat joutuvat asettamaan listan kuhunkin peliin. Tätä valintaa ei voi muuttaa enää turnauspäivän aikana.
Vuoden 2024 erillismääräykset:
· Panssaroitujen ajoneuvojen suurin sallittu Damage Value on 8+.
· Tykit ja heittimet, siis aseet joissa on templaatti, on rajoitettu 2” templaattiin. (Tilanteessa, jossa esim. panssarin tykissä olisi isompi templaatti, siinä ei ole sirpaleammuksia käytössä.)
· Armeijan tulee olla maalattu!
o Lounastauolla voi armeijansa asetettaa nähtäville ja järjestäjien kutsuma raati valitsee turnauksen parhaiten maalatun Bolt Action -armeijan.

Dogged Defence
2024-05-05 09:00 - 18:00 | Rundle Park Community Centre, 241 Park Rd S., Oshawa, ON, L1J 4H1, Canada
Building on the success of my first event in February I am presenting Dogged Defence, a three round tournament using standard single platoon lists at 1250 points. The one change I am introducing for this event is the mandatory inclusion of a medium tank, or 9+ damage vehicle, that can be added outside of the single tank slot in the reinforced platoon. The Bolt Action scene throughout Southern Ontario is not only growing but coming together. At Dogged Defence on May 5th I hope to continue to bring in players from all over Ontario, further forging the overall scene and growing the pool of competition.
New AV production equipment is being rolled out for this event to record a minimum of two matches which will be posted to my YouTube channel. New terrain tables are also being added to continue the quality our events are known for. The location is spacious and I will continue to hold events at the Rundle Park Community Centre as it is private and closed to our event . The goal is to establish these events as the premiere location that everyone will mark on their calendars throughout the year.
