Bolt Action “Home Before Christmas” Escalation League
Greetings, recruit and welcome to our Bolt Action “Home Before Christmas” Escalation League! Starting with smaller skirmish games before growing into all-out war, this league will help familiarize you with our welcoming community for one of the best WW2 themed games in production!
The play structure of the league is as follows:
Week 1 (November 10-17th) will be 500pt games using the standard bolt action mission generation found in the 3rd edition rulebook. You can use any size table you like, but a 4’x4’ space is recommended.
Week 2 (November 17th-24th) will be 800pt games using the standard Bolt Action mission generation found in the 3rd edition rulebook. These can be played on the full 6’x4’ table without it feeling too spread out and sparse.
Week 3 (November 24th - December 22nd) will be games of any size agreed upon between players, using any missions found in the Bolt Action 3rd edition rulebook (including the narrative missions if both players agree)
The last week of December (December 22nd-31st) will be used as an extension for the last week of the league due to the holiday season likely slowing everyone’s plans, so if you have any last minute games or forgotten battle reports to post you can squeeze those in here!
In order to find games and schedule for the League, please follow the resources below:
Games can be played any day of the week for the league, as long as it's at a Grognards location!
Wednesdays at Grognards Roselle during the course of the League will have at least one person here and available to play in the evening, along with a printout of League Medals.
Important: We have an active discord for all our Grognards communities that you can find following our QR codes in store, on our reward cards, or by following this link (https://discord.gg/hvYPjYTuqK )!
Using the discord and grabbing the Bolt Action role to chat about the hobby, see pings when events go live, or get notified when people are looking for games is a huge help in connecting with your local community. Schedule differences, days off, and all the hiccups life can push on us often interfere with gaming days, so having the additional connectivity with the community you play your games with is a huge help!
If you’re not familiar with discord and would like help setting it up, employees at any grognards location should be able to help you get it navigable and set notifications to only when you or the games you play are pinged.
