A Bavarian Day in Normandy
2024-03-23 - 2024-03-24 | 3, Münchner Strasse 3, Breitbrunn am Ammersee, Upper Bavaria, 82211, Germany
Bavarian soldiers were involved in some of the bloodiest and most intense battles of World War II in Normandy. After the Allied landing on June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, they immediately found themselves in heavy combat. Heinrich “Hein” Severloh is one of many well known examples.
In the first days after the invasion, Bavarian units were part of the German defensive lines desperately trying to hold back the Allied forces’ advance. They fought in the dense hedgerows and fields of Normandy, often engaged in close-quarters combat.
Their involvement in the defense of strategically important cities such as Caen and Saint-Lô is particularly well-known. Here, bitter battles took place as Bavarian soldiers fought against advancing Allied troops. The city of Saint-Lô was nearly completely destroyed, and the fighting there was characterized by great intensity.They were as well involved in German counterattacks, attempting to push back the Allied troops and halt their advance. Monuments and stories from endless bavarian graveyards are stell telling These stories till today. These counterattacks often involved bitter close-quarters combat and heavy artillery fire with heavy losses.
Despite the harsh conditions and the immense pressure of the Allied offensive, Bavarian soldiers often showed remarkable bravery and determination. Many of them paid a high price for their actions, and their courage remains an important part of the history of the Normandy battles in World War II.
As they strive with all their might to repel the Allied advances, they face courageous French resistance fighters, heavily equiped engineers and elite parachute units. Local heroes from the resistence fight side by side with the Allies to liberate their homeland from German occupation. The Allies, numerous and resolute, under the command of experienced generals such as Eisenhower and Montgomery, are determined to break through in Normandy. With a variety of units and state-of-the-art equipment, they carefully plan their attacks, always aiming to break the German resistance.
On our game day of the Bolt Action event “A Bavarian Day in Normandy,” the diversity of forces and various weather and terrain conditions involved in the battles of Normandy will be fully showcased. From Bavarian soldiers to French resistance fighters and the US and british Allies – each side will have its own challenges and opportunities.

2024-03-02 00:00 | Brimpton Primary School, Brimpton Lane, Reading, Berkshire, RG7 4TL, United Kingdom
A Bolt Action Event on Saturday 2nd of March at Brimpton School near Thatcham.
The aim is to have 3 fun, thematic games in the day using Theatre Selectors from the Armies of… books.
There is room for 10 Axis and 10 Allied players. Each round will be won by either the Axis or Allied forces (depending on which side has won the most games that round) and this will impact the mission and the Attacker/Defender roles for the following game.
This is not a tournament setup and it is very much open to inexperienced or veteran players. At the end of the day, one side will have a warm feeling inside from having won more matches, but both sides will have had a good time over the 3 games.
Part of the aim is to raise a bit of money for the school, so there is a suggested £10 donation to the school in place of an entry fee.
Warlord Games is providing their generous event support and, as there won’t be an individual winner from the day, the prizes will be raffled at the end of the day with each player having one entry.

The Bolt Action Extravaganza is a new event with three main goals:
a. To introduce new and established wargamers to ‘Bolt Action’ Wargames in all its facets.
b, Provide an opportunity for potential and tournament veterans to attend a 1 day gaming event in which they can try their army lists, any core rule changes and new theatre armies in a non competitive tournament environment.
c.. To provide a great ‘Bolt Action Event’ in the Greater Manchester Area.
This idea has sprung from having conversations with Bolt Action tournament players who would like an event in the North, however, that it be a practice and rules familiarisation event based on fun and a little less serious than the traditional tournaments held in Nottingham, Southend and Scotland. In a nutshell helping to bring new people into Bolt Action and give tournament players an opportunity to help prepare for their respective tournaments. We hope to see as many people as possible to join us.

Welcome Generals to Golden Rhino Games for our first Bolt Action Combat Patrol tournament! 4 games throughout the day using adjusted platoons to represent the smaller engagements within wider battles. A valiant SAS raid on German positions? A US Marine fire group scouting out an unknown Japanese island… it’s all possible!
This tournament is meant to serve as a primer for the upcoming Combat Patrol tournament at Adepticon 2024 hosted by Chicago Dice. Come practice with your list, or just come to enjoy a wonderful game at a reduced army size. Humble units like the light mortar team and AT rifle section seem to be overshadowed in traditional events, but become much more deadly when deployed at a squadron-level engagement. Break out those Jeeps and MMG teams, because they become fearsome opponents when you are battling over a small encampment.
Quick note on army construction details: 450 points, 8 order dice max, 8+ armor max. We also play on a 4’x4′ board instead of the usual 6’x4′.
Golden Rhino Games has also underwent a large transformation and has added a cafe to their storefront! Players now have the opportunity to enjoy meals as they battle with their forces. We look forward to welcoming you to the shop. Custom missions, good food, and a sporting community await. Do you accept the challenge?
