Torneo de verano Interno de Bolt Action ‘Asociación Jabalí Pisador’
2025-07-12 09:00 - 17:00 | Carrer Fernando Rodríguez, Fornós 3, Torrent, Valencia, 46900, Spain
The club ‘El Jabalí Pisador’ (the trampling boar) has existed for 3 years and from the beginning it has been a club dedicated to classic versions of Warhammer. I joined the club 2 years ago, I have been playing wargames of all kinds for 30 years and I wanted to play classic editions of Warhammer again. I have been a Bolt Action player since 2013, and I have participated in several national tournaments in Spain. From the moment I joined I tried to ‘capture’ other members of the club to play Bolt Action, and little by little I was able to do so. Currently I am the ‘unofficial’ manager of Bolt Action in the club. The growth of the Bolt Action section with several armies already in the club has prompted me to launch the option of the first Bolt Action tournament in the club. The last objetive is to set up a Bolt Action club in Valencia, the first one.
The tournament is intended to be non-competitive, but rather a way to promote and perfect the Bolt Action game at our club. We have two goals: first, to consolidate Bolt Action within the club, and second, to bring the club’s Bolt Action players together for a fun day.
All prizes will be awarded in raffles, except for the most friendly player and the best army.

one day before the 236 th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille often referred to as
the start of the French Revolution. Each round will be 2 ½ hours and features a bit of a
twist to army lists. All participants will create two lists. One list at 1250 points, 18 order
dice and configured for attack and a second list at 1000 points, 16 order dice and
configured for defense. At the start of each round players will roll off with the winner
getting to choose to attack or defend. Defending players get to choose table edge and
will have access to a set of defensive obstacles including barbed wire, tank traps,
sandbag emplacements, a mixed minefield, and most importantly, a pre-registered
artillery point which will bring down an off board medium howitzer barrage which does
not count towards your defensive army list points. Defending player gets to place the
obstacles prior to the start of the game and secretly record the location of the pre-
registered artillery point.
Players will have a variety of beautifully detailed tables to play on including Normandy
Bocage, Normandy Village, Potemkin Village, Belin 1945, North Africa, Northern

Historicon 2025 Bolt Action Tourney
2025-07-18 09:00 - 19:00 | Lancaster Convention Center., 25 S Queen Street, Lancaster, 17603, United States
Welcome to the BA Tournament at Historicon 2025. This year’s convention them is the history of the US Army. The Bolt Action tournament is going to reflect that theme this year. Armies will be 1775 points in size to commemorate the birth of the US Army. There shall be some restrictions to get to the point total. You can only take one infantry platoon, and you must take one armoured platoon. That armoured platoon must be at least 775 points of your army and can be more.
The object here is to get you to bring out all those big tanks and the ability to take them at a veteran experience level if you want. Bring the fun toys you can never fit in a regular list. Push them around the table and have a blast. Enjoy three games of Bolt Action in a unique setting.

Bolt Action - League Camulos
2025-07-18 19:00 - 23:00 | Stanway Village Hall, Villa Rd, Colchester, Essex, CO3 0RH, United Kingdom
The 1000pt League Camolus will consist of Twelve Players playing eleven Bolt Action battles fortnightly against each other over the course of 20 weeks at the Colchester Wargaming Association where they will win lose or draw in order to try and be crowned league winner and best bolt action player! The league mission pack carefully provides the rules, detail and terrain set up so each mission is identically replicated every time it is played – ensuring that the league is consistent but full of variety! 25 Special Key League Tactical objectives can also be achieved over the course of the 11 league games which enable players to score extra bonus league points to help boost their standing and point scores (Objectives such as making a tank on tank kill, playing with a list that is only inexperienced units, making an assault and having your unit wiped our or having a medic heal 3 soldiers in one battle!) therefore, players may lose a few games but thanks to these it doesn’t mean that they could be out of the hunt! Importantly, we want the league to be fun and NOT repetitive therefore each battle will be a unique mission that you can win lose or draw (consisting of missions and scenarios in the v3 rulebook with a couple of newly created ones added in as well). This means that none of the 11 battles to be played will be the same yet everyone will play the same set of games and missions – missions which full test every aspect of generalship and strategy. In conjunction with the title, there are awards for best painted army, best sportsman across the league, wooden spoon, and best action or against all odds moment of the league – where photographic proof is 100% needed! Players must choose and stick with their chosen nation for the duration of the league but are welcome to select or tailor different 1000 point army lists as they see fit for each mission providing it complies with the current official Bolt Action V3 rules and army composition. Have you got what it takes to beat your peers and win League Camulos?!

Attrition 2025
2025-07-19 09:00 - 18:00 | Forfar Community Church, Wellbraehead, Forfar, Angus, DD8 3AX, United Kingdom
Attrition is as far as we’re aware the only event where your army gets smaller as the rounds progress.
This year we are kicking off with a 1500 point game over 3 hours. Apart from a limit of 2 Multi-launchers anything goes. There are no army or dice restrictions, just be sensible with your dice count as we want to finish in time.
The second game will be 1100 points – a Pyrrhic victory has left you with no reserves. but you must push on. You have outrun your armoured support, so no Armoured Platoons may be taken.
The third is 800 points – it’s getting dark and your heavy artillery is running out of ammo. The tanks are miles behind having a brew up. This round you still cannot select an Armoured platoon and your heavy weapons have run out of ammo, so no 3″ or 4″ templates may be taken.
Also Johnny Ferg is cooking lunch, so you don’t want to miss that.

This is the first such went in Bydgosczy in many years. It’s contructed in such a way that players have the same chances, as there are rules and regulations that govern the balance of factions, so that there is no no what-so-ever too op. In addition, one of the scenarios is ‘homemade’ which I only think will encourage players to try it out. In addition, the prizes will be drawn at random, so there will be no push to be the first, not counting a commemorative diploma.
Event details:
Number of rounds: 3
Duration of each round: 180 minutes
Table size: 48″ × 48″
Army limit: 750 points

V3 Bolt Action Tournament – Europe 1943
2025-08-02 09:00 - 18:00 | Hole in the Wall Hobbies, 11503 E LP 1604 N access rd, Universal City, 78148, United States
To fight for prizes, promote the game and venue, and to
have FUN! The event is loosely themed from JAN 1942 to AUG 1943 and based in Europe
(no Pacific theme this time). The Americans land in Morocco to aid the beleaguered British.
Rommel and his Italian allies are on the retreat after fighting on the Mareth Line; which side
do the Commanders plan to fight on? In Italy the Allies are preparing to invade Sicily and to
advance upon Italy, and in Russia the Axis are advancing to Prokhorovka; which of these
forces will the Commanders choose to help to turn the tide of stalemate?
There will be up to 9 tables for the 18 Commanders to battle on that will cover
geography from North Africa, Sicily, & the steppes of Russia. Commanders will have to fight
in cities, railyards, grassy steppes with clumpy vegetation and farmhouses, and barren,
desert, rocky outcrops. Which table each commander fights on will be unknown so it will
cause them to be judicious on the Task Force they create. Additional victory points are
awarded for creating a platoon/company based (loosely) on a real unit that fought in the
above theaters at the time mentioned (encouragement for players to study history and then
try to re-enact it as well as paying homage to those veterans). Finally, each Commander is
allowed to purchase minefields and/or a veteran tank crewman (Tank War concept) if they
desire to add additional reality or flexibility to their company.
The venue and other sponsors donate funds for prize support to encourage
maximum attendance and FUN!! At least half the prize support is purchased from Warlord
Games. On average, about $350.00 worth of prize support is gifted then awarded to the
participants.

This is an introductory event in Berryville, Virginia, United States, to teach brand new players how to play Bolt Action: a World War 2 tabletop wargame! Geared toward players who don’t have any experience with the game (or even any wargame background), we will be teaching the basics of the game and providing you with everything you need to try it out. We will have pre-painted armies, terrain, and quick reference sheets to help you master the rules as we work through two rounds of play, with thematic armies that will help you learn how different nations play differently in the game, guiding your future decisions should you enter the hobby!
Lunch will be provided between the first and second game, with the first game focusing on the rifle platoon and some supporting elements which are the core of the game, and the second round will add some tanks to your force because, let’s face it, tanks are cool! And we love them! And they are really good in Bolt Action as well, so investing in your favourite tank kit and adding one to your force is a great idea. Interested persons should reach out to Aaron Kamakawiwoole (aaronk@zurncentral.com) with any questions, and people who want to wet their feet a bit with the rules before coming can visit the “How to Play Bolt Action” YouTube series on the Zurn Central YouTube channel.
