Warlord HQ presents “The British Bolt Action League 1st Round” Saturday 16th March 2019

View in Store
The first event in the British Bolt Action League is brought to you by The organisers of the Bolt Action World Championship, Dave Nolan and Paul Walker. This is the first of four main events in the league held around the country this year, with affiliated events joining in the league throughout the country too.
These events are designed to appeal to the competitive players whilst retaining the true gentlemanly spirit of friendship and support that is the essence of the game we love; Bolt Action
Ticket Cost:

Early Bird £15 (Register on or before March 10, 2019)
Late entry £20

The ticket will include:

Tournament entry
Lunch

More details (including Tournament pack) to come…
Your Armies

Fully painted army
The Army must be based on army lists from current BA books.

The Games

Register Today to ensure your place!
Note: There are no physical tickets. The organisers will get in touch with further information on the event once you have registered, so please make sure your contact details are up to date!
Please also note, there is no Disabled Access to our events facility, access is via two flights of stairs.

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”.

Bolt Action & Erehwon Demo Day
2019-03-24 11:00 - 16:00 | Wargames Workshop Northampton, 3 Abington Square, Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 4AE, United Kingdom
Hosted by Wargames Workshop Northampton
The last Bolt Action day was so popular that we’re doing it again, this time with added Warlords of Erehwon!
While both share a few common mechanics, Bolt Action is a World War 2 based skirmish game while Warlords of Erehwon is a fantasy system. If you have any kind of army for a fantasy game, chances are you can use it in Erehwon. Come down and see just how flexible the army lists are.
We’ll be playing from 11am until 4pm so bring an army if you want to join in the games if you already have one or drop in for an intro game at any point during the day.

WARLORD ANTARES DAY, 30TH MARCH 2019

THE INTERFACE WARS
The reappearance of the Dronescourge is causing chaos on Antares. Their scavenging is spreading south: no longer are the Virai a problem confined to the interface between the PanHuman Concord and the Isorian Senatex. Now their depredations threaten the Algoryn Prosperate and the wider Determinate.
And now the Ghar have intervened, using the Virai to spread destruction amongst their human foes. The Virai have no master plan; they are merely following the line of least resistance. They do not care that the Ghar are deliberately sacrificing older vessels as carriers to spread the Dronescourge into more panhuman systems. And neither do the Virai care that the Ghar then send in their armies to purge the weakened planets of panhumanity. But the Ghar have found the Virai are harder to control than they realised.
All along the Determinate interfaces, panhumanity is fighting for survival against the Ghar, the Virai, and frequently other factions in the same straits as themselves.
The Interface Wars have begun; only you can decide who wins.
FACTION LEAGUE GAMES DAY
Warlord Games HQ, Lenton Boulevard, Nottingham, UK
NG7 2BD (access via stairs only)
A themed Antares Faction tournament in which the most successful faction wins the day. A variety of scenarios and only two army lists of 750 and 1250 points. Prior to the event, each player will be told the scenarios and will have to choose their lists. But no one will know the three scenarios in which they will play, so careful choice of lists is key!
Registration opens from 09:00 and prizegiving for best player, best-painted army and painting competition at 18:00.
There will be a chance to buy Antares mugs in the shop, attendees can also purchase Antares Event polo shirts.
Warlord staff will be on hand to talk Antares and game designer Mr Rick Priestley will be around to talk to – be careful of his tactical advice!
Players are advised to bring their own food and drink but there are shops nearby.

Sunday, 14 April 2019 from 11:00-16:00

The sentries report Zulus to the South West. Thousands of them.

Come and help defend a stretch of the barricades or try to break through them. All miniatures will be provided on the day (unless you want to bring some of your own) and folks will be on hand to show you how the game works if you’ve never played it before.
Why us, Sarge?
Because we’re ‘ere lad. Nobody else, just us…
Entry for a whole day’s gaming is £3, we’ll have several tables set out for other wargames in addition to the Rorke’s Drift set up. Give me a shout to reserve a table.

The First of the years BHGS events.
Rollcall Bolt Action is back again for the 6th Year running
Tickets available from the link below
http://www.bhgs.org.uk/bolt-action-at-roll-call.html
All tables will have a mission set out for that table as per the feedback from BHGS entries from last year, these missions will be taken from any of the books (main rule book- each table will have a mission card on them to explain the mission) and use the mission rules that are set for them. So choose your army wisely.
For this event, we’d like to make sure that forces, so far as possible, represent ones that are as plausible as possible for a game that has WWII as its theme. While imperfect, this will help to mitigate the impact of some of the more problematic units in the game without resorting to house rules or ‘comping’.
We’d really encourage players to go ‘as themed as possible’, and if you want to do a specific unit at a specific time and place (a reinforced platoon from Johnny Frost’s Bn at Arnhem, for instance, or maybe a Panzer Zug from the 21st Panzer Division in 1941, or whatever) then crack on and we’ll be suitably impressed (and there might be a prize for ‘Best Force’ or similar in the mix to reward that). But if all you want is a force that looks right for the time and place for your chosen nation, that’s fantastic too.
We’ve found that the overwhelming majority of forces fit into this structure with little or no tweaking.
If time’s limited or historical research isn’t your strong suit then the guidelines are designed to help you and the event organisers will be very happy to offer any assistance they can if desired – remember this is aimed at improving everyone’s enjoyment, it’s not meant to be a chore.
How to pick your force for this event:
• 750 points Infantry only (maximum amour value 6)
• 1250 points.
• No more than the set amount of points may be spent on the army as per the guidelines provided on page 124 of the Bolt action rulebook.
• Pick a nation from any of the countries currently represented in Warlord Games publications (including pdfs)
• Pick a front from: Balkan, Eastern, Italian, North African, Northern China, North-west European, Pacific, SE Asian, the list goes on obviously this must be a front where your chosen nation fought
• Pick a year (again, obviously, a year where your chosen nation was actually fighting on your chosen front.
• Build your force to the prescribed points total using your chosen nation with either the generic selector or a theatre selector or pdf ‘force’ selector that covers your chosen year. But you may only use options that actually were present in your chosen year on your chosen front. This isn’ t as hard as it might seem at first; the theatre selectors give a good guide and most of the vehicles have a range of years in which they saw service. Your event organiser will be happy to provide assistance and advice if you’re in any doubt.
• No special characters or tank wars skills allowed.
Example 1
• Chosen Nation: Germany (this restricts the player to Eastern, Balkan, Italian, North African and North-west Europe).
• Chosen Front: North African (this means the player will be taking an Afrika Korps list so ideally his army will be modelled and painted in that style. It also restricts the years to 1941, 1942 or 1943)
• Chosen Year: 1942 (this impacts on the specific units available. the Rommel’s Defeat theatre selector will provide a good starting point for options).
Example 2
• Chosen Nation: Great Britain (allowing all front options except Northern China – remembering the Australians fought in the Pacific and are covered by the GB book and Eastern)
• Chosen Front: SE Asian (allowing all years from late 1941 to 1945)
• Chosen Year: 1944 (the Burma theatre selector is a good starting point for unit choices but as not all of these units fought in SE Asia, the event organiser might give feedback if inappropriate one’s creep to the list. Most players will probably want to use the generic selector for this sort of force though as the theatre selector heavily and unnecessarily restricts the core choices far beyond the historical)
Example 3
• Chosen Nation: Finland (meaning Eastern Front becomes the only choice
• Chosen Front: Eastern (however this allows all years 1939-45
• Chosen Year: 1939 (this will be a Winter War themed list and the selector of that name is again a good starting point for list construction).
Armies must be drawn from the following books
• Armies of Germany Book.
• Armies of the United States Book.
• Armies of Great Britain and Commonwealth Book.
• Armies of the Soviet Union Book.
• Armies of France and her Allies.
• Armies of Imperial Japan.
• Armies of Axis and her Allies.
• Any additional Army PDF’s / List that are published by Warlords
• Additional Units (PDF’s –including the warplane rules).
• Any additional theatre book published
• Any Campaign book published Special may not be allowed(XXX Crops rules for example)
All list to be submitted by the 8th April to gazbetts@gmail.com.
Games will be 2:15 hours in length.
750 point games will be 90 minutes in length.
