battles are played, 2 with 600 infantry points and 2 battles with 1000 points
From this list you can take a maximum of 600 PT for the infantry with support weapons for the two 600 PT games! This means that the 1000 PT list can contain a maximum of 600 PT infantry with support weapons.
This 1000 PT list could then be divided like this: 570 PT infantry with support weapons and the remaining 430 PT
in vehicles etc. according to Reinforced Platoon.
With your 1000 PT list you then play the other two battles.
After this army building, we are now playing the second tournament which is very popular among the players. A different structure for the army, but ultimately also for us as this last tournament in this format takes place in V2.

Small Unit Tactics III
2024-09-21 10:00 - 19:00 | The House Of War, 52 Maroondah Hwy, Ringwood, VIC, 3134, Australia
Small Unit Tactics III will be held at The House of war on Saturday 21 September 2024. We’ll be playing three rounds of Bolt Action in an event for both experienced and beginner players alike, where the winner will be decided by Tournament Points. Any ties will be separated by Strength of Schedule. This is an opportunity to say farewell to Bolt Action Version 2, before the release of Version 3 in late September 2024. As a result, we are loosening the list building requirements and opening up the field to a variety of lists out of the many supplements Warlord has released for Bolt Action across the journey. This is an opportunity to have one final go with your favourite lists in V2 before the next version comes along!
Players will assemble 950-point forces and can come from Reinforced Platoons or Theatre Selectors, while remaining a single platoon. There are a number of points adjustments for this event all of which can be found in detail in the player pack located here: https://1drv.ms/b/s!AlmtjlOa19yCiD83o9SaKlz8_1_N?e=lHbWQY
Efforts will be made to keep historical matchups between Allied and Axis players where possible, but if the difference in tournament points is too high or we have more players of one side than the other then we’ll revert to Swiss-chess pairings.

It is unique in that it has minimal restrictions on what you may bring but instead offers critical incentives to create a more balanced or themed list by way of list selection that counts towards your tournament victory points every game! As the custom secondaries reward those themed list selections for achieving actions, even if you are behind on the Victory points awarded for a specific mission your still capable of a round win for having a more opponent friendly list.
This year we are allowing dual platoons. 1201pts and a 17 order dice cap. Games are 2.5hrs across Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning. Dinner on Saturday is provided after the days play for anyone that wishes to hang around and socialise.

We also have prizes for the top four players and the “most cinematic action” winner (These will be based on “Early War” which fits our coming battles for 2025).
