South African Nationals
2025-07-05 08:00 - 17:00 | Pretoria High School Old Boys’ Club, Hofmeyr Park 378 Queens Crescent, Lynnwood, Pretoria, 0081, South Africa
The South African Nationals has been a regular event on the Bolt Action calendar in South Africa, but due to vast traveling distances in South Africa and the cost involved it is not always possible to get all the players together for a tournament in one place. We have there for opted to host the national event on alternating years between the Southern areas (Cape Town) and the Northern areas (Pretoria) for the people able to attend and then host mini tournaments in each area every year for the ones not able.
This year it is the chance for the North to show their mettle. The Bolt Action community in South Africa has seen tremendous growth over the last year with a lot of new players joining the game, last year we hosted a local tournament with 2 divisions for new and experienced players, to make sure same level experienced players together. The Nationals this year will be the culmination of all the hard work of the new guys to come to show off their skill on the big stage and all in the same category. We have decided that the army points for the tournament will be 1100pts and a 20 order dice cap, to make it a bit easier and more flexible for newer players who does not yet have a full fledged army to still compete and learn how to build a army to compete over various missions. For most players in the North this will be their first Nationals and we are proud to say that there are also a lot of interest from other people all over South Africa.

Bolt Action Panzerschreck 2025
2025-07-05 08:30 - 2025-07-06 16:00 | Riverdale School, 95 Slacks Rd, Awapuni, Palmerstone North, 4412, New Zealand
The Panzerschreck was a feared anti-tank weapon of WW2. With that in mind, who can knock out the most tanks this year?
Every list will be required to take at least 2 light tanks (Armour 8+) or heavier, with an order dice cap in place. This is to hopefully push people into taking more or heavier tanks than the minimum and to keep the games to a reasonable pace and length.
Force restrictions:
No more then 1250pts
Lists MUST INCLUDE AT LEAST 2 units with 8+ armour (Eg – Stuart, BT7, M10, Panzer II etc) or heavier, The 2 or more armoured units can be a combo of 8+ and 10+ or 9+ and 9+ for example.
Max 14 order dice
This event happens every year around the same time of year. and has been going for at least 20 years with Flames of war. Bolt action has joined in for the last 5 years that it has gone ahead (covid interrupted) Last year had 14 people, and we hope to get to 20 people Building on the 16 we had a Valleycon earlier this year. With the Bolt action community being very small in NZ due to the vast number of different games out there the growing number of new faces at each event is great.

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.

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.
