Competition Rules for the Bolt Action GT
How to pick your force for this event:
- Armies must consist of a single Generic Reinforced Platoon of no more than 1,100 points chosen from the Armies of…
books or Armies of… sections included in Campaign and Theatre books. - Only units stated as permitted to be included in a Generic Reinforced Platoon may be included. War Correspondents, Special Characters, and Aircraft rules are not permitted to be used for this event.
- When writing your army list, please consider the ‘theme’ of your force! When you submit the army list, please title it
accordingly – for example Joe Bloggs – Battle of France German Pioniere. The prize for ‘Best Themed’ is traditionally both
prestigious and very large, so please bear that in mind when constructing your force! - Army lists must be submitted by no later than 2359 on July 22nd to gazbetts@gmail.com for checking. They may
be sent either using EasyArmy or in ‘plain’ (word document) format. Any army lists submitted after the closing date will
result in a point being deducted from your overall standings! - All armies must be fully painted (three colours minimum) and based – failure to adhere to this standard will result in a
point being deducted from your overall standings. - All models used must be ‘what you see is what you get’ and have all purchased equipment and weapons represented on
the miniature. If you intend to use ‘proxies’ or alternate miniatures, please include a picture of them when submitting
your army list. - The Grand Tournament will use the latest FAQ and errata rulings as of May 31st, 2024.
- Six games will be played over two days – three each on Saturday and Sunday.
- A mission pack will be published after the list submission deadline on 22nd July, 2024 to allow players to familiarise themselves with the missions in use and any special rules.
