Congratulations officers, you're going to the front lines! Fellowship and Firepower is focused on getting new commanders some combat experience. Players new to the game are encouraged to come out and play in this relaxed tournament and see if they can lead their army to victory. While we want as many new players to come out as possible, this tournament is open towards experienced commanders as well. In fact, we would love to have players with a good knowledge of the game to help out new commanders when needed!

As the name says, we want players to have fun with the firepower of their troops, and also experience fellowship from other gamers as well. We want to grow this community and get players excited to keep playing and attending events for Bolt Action. So whether you’re still learning your battle maneuvers, or you're well-decorated from battle, load up and ship out to Fellowship and Firepower!

Points are calculated as described in each scenario. Victory, defeat, and draws are counted for tournament points as shown below

• Victory- 30 TP

Players will be randomly matched for round 1. After, players will be paired using a Swiss scoring system (matching players on the same number of TPs, in descending order). Tiebreakers will be determined by how many opponents order dice have been taken.

Raffle Prizes- each participant will receive 4 raffle tickets. If you win your game, you will give a single ticket to your opponent. If the result of your game is a draw, no tickets are exchanged.
