Bolt Action at Roll Call
A roaring success at previous BHGS events, Bolt Action, the 28mm WW2 skirmish game from Warlord Games will return to all three of the BHGS's events this year as an Official Warlord Games supported Bolt Action Event!
All list to be submitted by the 17th March to [email protected] or via the Warlords App
Players pack available to download here rollcall_player_pack.pdf
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.
Our goal for this event is to ensure the forces represented are as plausible as possible within
a World War II theme. We encourage players to adopt a historical theme and, if you impress us
with a well-researched unit, you may even win a prize for 'Best Force'. Alternatively, a general
era-appropriate force is also welcome.

Errata for the Event
- Every MLRS unit packs a punch with a minimum indirect re range of 30 inches—talk about reaching out and touching someone!
- When aiming for a building with your MLRS magic, just slap the template on it and measure out a cool 6 inches from there.
- Only the chosen Spotters from the designated platoon can lend a helping hand with spotting for their own platoon—no freelancing allowed!
