game nights. You’ve met us at plenty of events in other places like Lancaster,
Chicago, Florida, Vegas, etc. You name it and one of our guys has gone there. Now
we’d like to host and show our hospitality.
b. We are a laid-back group of players of all ages. Our numbers have nearly tripled in
the last two years, but we’d like to get bigger and love when new people come by
the store. Join us at this event and let us spoil you with a fun game, great prizes,
and tasty pizza. I promise it’ll be worth your time, and you’ll come away with new
friends (and new opponents) who enjoy doing battle with plastic army men!

Brimpton Bolt Action Day
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.

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.

FNGs
2024-03-23 09:00 - 17:00 | Good Games Cannington, 21 Liege St, Cannington, Western Australia, 6107, Australia
This tournament is aimed at having the lowest barrier to entry possible – possibility of ‘strong’ combinations are reduced, lists are scrutinised to limit highly tuned forces, the game times are more relaxed for the points, and players are advised to play more transparently than normal.
There are platoon limitations that do not exist in the normal ‘state of play’, however, are here as new players often don’t have a full grasp of mechanics so they cannot deal with these oppressive units.
You will play 3 rounds across the day, all 3 rounds will be randomly matched up. Adjustments will be made manually in the event of repeat match ups, same factions, or mirror forces.

2024-04-07 10:00 - 18:00 | SBT Comics and Games,, 699 Gardiners Road unit #3, Kingston, Ontario, K7M 3Y4, Canada
Are you a new Bolt Action player? Or are you a grizzled vet with dozens of tournaments under your belt? Either way, we have the event for you! Forget your boiler plate Bolt Action army list because the Brawl in the Hall is something new!
The format follows the popular SNAFU “Recon Rumble” format – a 750-point, reinforced infantry platoon, maximum armour of 7+ (please request the players pack for specifics). The emphasis is on mobile units, fast paced play, and bold play. This allows transports, mobile infantry, and 7+ vehicles from the Armoured Car Selector to come into their own.
The three scenarios for this event have all been tweaked specifically for this format. The back story is your units are behind your own lines but due to a sudden breach in the front, you are being thrown into a tactically fluid crisis! Speed and daring will bring you to victory!
While this is a “competitive” event, the emphasis is on having a fun day of Bolt Action! Novice players are more than welcome. Here is your chance to bring out your carriers, jeeps, cavalry, motorcycles, etc.
A Brawl in the Hall 2024: Bolt Action with a difference!!

D-Day Experience
2024-04-12 00:00 - 2024-04-14 23:59 | Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB), Campus Bellaterra Plaça Cívica, Bellaterra Barcelona, Catalonia, 08193, Spain
El D-Day experience es un evento narrativo de 3 días de duración que se celebrará junto con muchas otras actividades dentro de la FRAC (Fira de Rol d’Arreu de Catalunya). El evento permitirá a los jugadores reproducir sobre una mesa de juego con el reglamento y las miniaturas de Bolt Action V.2 y sus suplementos D-Day: Overlord y Battleground Europe, algunos de los momentos decisivos del mayor desembarco anfibio de la historia. Consta de 14 partidas repartidas a lo largo de los 3 días, que se jugarán de forma secuencial y simultanea en algunos casos, reproduciendo las operaciones que tuvieron lugar durante lo primeros días del desembarco.
Las partidas se han seleccionado y secuenciado de forma que se reproduzcan las operaciones tal como acontecieron en Junio de 1944. El Viernes 12 por la tarde-noche se jugarán las misiones nocturnas relacionadas con el asalto paracaidista sobre Sainte Mère Eglise y su aledaños por tal de asegurar puntos cruciales para el desembarco al día siguiente, incluido el famosos incidente del paracaidista Jhone Steele tras quedar atrapado su paracaídas en la Iglesia del pueblo. El Sábado 13 se jugarán las misiones relacionadas con la llegada de la flota y el desembarco en UTAH BEACH propiamente, así como las operaciones de las unidades paracaidistas destinadas a apoyar la operación, como la famosa toma de la batería de Bercout Mannor por parte de la Easy Company. El tercer día se jugarán finalmente las misiones centradas en la consolidación de la cabeza de playa (Carentan, La Fiere bridge) pero también incluirá sorpresas, ya que las misiones que se jugarán y sus condiciones dependerán de los resultados obtenidos en el conjunto de todas las partidas anteriores, incluyendo la opción “What if” de que el eje hubiera sido capaz de detener a los aliados en la costa.
Si eso no fuese suficiente, todas las partidas se jugaran sobre una única mesa de juego de mas de 20m2, reproduciendo lo mejor posible las localizaciones históricas de UTAH beach, Sainte Mère Eglise, Carentan, la carretera RN13 y sus alrededores.

Turnauksen skenariot kerrotaan/annetaan turnauspäivän aamuna pelaajille, ja ne ovat erillisellä lapulla kullakin pelipöydällä.
Armeijalistat
Turnaus pelataan 1000 p armeijoilla. Listat on laadittava joko sääntökirjan tai armeijakirjojen geneerisillä listoilla, kampanjakirjojen ”selectorit ja” yksiköt eivät ole sallittuja. Muut mahdolliset armeijalistat tulee hyväksyttää turnausjärjestäjillä. Turnauslistat on laadittava EasyArmy-työkalun avulla.
Listassa saa olla yli 12 yksikköä, mutta pussiin voi laittaa enintään 12 noppaa. Yksikön tuhoutuessa noppa poistetaan pelistä vain, jos jäljelle jää alle 12 yksikköä. Tuhoutunut yksikkö lasketaan skenaarion mahdollisesti määrittelemiin voittopisteisiin.
Halutessaan pelaaja voi tehdä kaksi rinnakkaista listaa, joissa voi olla erilainen yksikkökoostumus, mutta pistemäärä sama. Samoin kaikki alla olevat listarajoitukset ovat molemmissa voimassa. Kun turnauksen skenariot kerrotaan turnauspäivän aamuna, pelaajat joutuvat asettamaan listan kuhunkin peliin. Tätä valintaa ei voi muuttaa enää turnauspäivän aikana.
Vuoden 2024 erillismääräykset:
· Panssaroitujen ajoneuvojen suurin sallittu Damage Value on 8+.
· Tykit ja heittimet, siis aseet joissa on templaatti, on rajoitettu 2” templaattiin. (Tilanteessa, jossa esim. panssarin tykissä olisi isompi templaatti, siinä ei ole sirpaleammuksia käytössä.)
· Armeijan tulee olla maalattu!
o Lounastauolla voi armeijansa asetettaa nähtäville ja järjestäjien kutsuma raati valitsee turnauksen parhaiten maalatun Bolt Action -armeijan.
