My recent experiences last weekend At Adepticon playing in Bolt Action Doubles and U.S. Nationals.

Lots of Pics

Nice report with some great looking forces.

Much different than the 40k tournaments I see with miniatures completely lacking paint….

Yep, those are some nice looking collections.

Awesome write up! Great photos!

Outstanding photos, and sorry to hear about your unfortunate experience. Part of the reason I enjoy some of my local tournaments so much is the incredible sportsmanship and almost outlandish lists folks come up with to have a fun game. I ran an all-infantry german list(aside from my 'mosquitos', or kubelwagens), guys have ran a Maus with Volkssturm, and other fun, non-competitive lists.

I hope someday to find a tournament where I can run my 'water balloon' Soviet list with 6 Ampolumet teams. nothing resembling competetive, but sometimes the look of confusion on an opponent's face is worth more than a day full of wins.

Thanks, it was a great time.

Minibeady, I agree sportsmanship is top of my list which is what I never suspected what was going on until I discovered it after the fact and was so shocked.

There were a few hard list, but nothing too outrageous. Personally I struggle with Multi-launchers and any indirect fire weapon bigger that a light mortar being on the table in a skirmish game.

This is also why I commonly refer to Bolt Action as WWII flavored, but really advanced Rock. Paper Scissors.

Fun game though and I enjoy it for something on the lighter side. It does encourage people to learn history who would not otherwise be interested.

I've seen a few with that Win no matter what play style. really no fun to deal with. love the ones that can roll badly and laugh about it. great AAR afilter.
