Paul Walker is well known around the UK BA scene as a regular face at BO tournaments and shows throughout the year. Probably one of the most active players in the British event scene and further abroad. So far his calendar has 21 tournaments, home and abroad and six wargames shows pencilled in with more to follow. This year will see him attending the Las Vegas Open, Adepticon and Nova in the USA as well as organising the BA World Team Championships in Poland. He will once again be helping Chris Brown, the author of the Market Garden campaign book, organise the annual Arnhem Both Action event over the Arnhem Remembrance weekend in September in the Netherlands.
Whilst loving the cut and thrust of one on one competition, podiumed at both LVO and Adepticon last year and several UK tournaments, Paul really loves just playing and encouraging new players. He is often quoted as saying he will play “anyone, anywhere, anytime with anything”. Indeed this year his Youtube and podcast followers suggested he plays with a more ‘difficult’ army to win with and they voted that he starts this year off with a Dutch 1940, “Battle of the Netherlands” list. The army sees their first outing with Paul at the”Guns over the River Blyth” event and they will be on the road to the LVO this year and Adepticon and possibly a wee appearance at the BA event “A Cam Bridge too Far”.

November Pain - Bolt Action Tournament
2018-11-11 09:00 - 17:00 | Hampshire
Sunday 11th November @ 9.00AM. £10 Entry.

Lost Ark Games
1st Floor, Queensway Chambers, 58 Queensway, Stevenage

Tickets available from http://www.lostarkgames.com/events/bolt-action-tournament-november-pain.

As Shrapnel is more of a controlled event we’ve decided to run this one as a bit of fun. So rather than restrict the army lists or be too historically accurate it will be gloves off, no holds barred, bare knuckle event.
We will accept any 1,000 point list comprising up to 2 Reinforced Infantry Platoons from the Army or Campaign books. Yes, that’s a chance to bring out the cheese! Tank platoons, however, are not permitted.
3 Scenarios to be announced on the day, first round kicks off at 9.30AM.
We will be throwing in a couple of amendments to the rules:
Preparatory bombardments will follow our usual rule of only adding D6 Pins on a hit.
Snipers will apply exceptional damage to infantry squads or two-man teams, any exceptional hits on support teams, mortars etc, will result in a casualty but not remove the whole team.
We’ll be limiting it to 20 places with a reserve list, Lists to be sent into either myself or Ken on confirmation of entry. steve@lostarkgames.com
As ever there will be prize support of some form and the traditional wooden spoon prize for the first Fubar of the day.
We hope you’ll see this as a chance to run some fun lists and have an enjoyable day, our usual degree of Gentlemanly play is expected so all players are welcome regardless of experience.
