Small Unit Tactics III will be held at The House of War on Saturday 21 September 2024. We’ll be playing three rounds of Bolt Action in an event for both experienced and beginner players alike, where the winner will be decided by Tournament Points. Any ties will be separated by Strength of Schedule.This is an opportunity to say farewell to Bolt Action Version 2, before the release of Version 3 in late September 2024. As a result, we are loosening the list building requirements and opening up the field to a variety of lists out of the many supplements Warlord has released for Bolt Action across the journey.
This is an opportunity to have one final go with your favourite lists in V2 before the next version comes along!
…we’re still not allowing armoured platoons though!
Some key points are below, however the full details are in the player pack here:

Please note that due to changes in Warlord’s prize support policies, it is getting more difficult to ensure every player walks away with something. We have been lucky in the past with the abundance of support available, however going forward prizes will be primarily focused on those who win the above Awards.
Any excess prizes will be given out randomly to the remaining players.
