Army
Lists:
Given that
this event is geared towards fun, inclusive play and that it is designed to
welcome newer players to Melbourne's Bolt Action scene, I have fairly high
standards for listing for this event. As a result I will be rather draconian
with list submissions, though there are no units restrictions for this event,
outside of the fun ones listed below, I would like to emphasise that this is an
fun, casual event.
I would
like to encourage people to experiment and play with lists that are fun to play
with and to play against. This is NOT a win at all costs event.
The TO reserves the right to ask players to resubmit army lists that are
considered... perhaps "too hard" for the spirit of the event.
If you
are unsure, please ask.
•
All
armies for this event should be no larger than 980 points.
•
Forces
may be made up using the generic reinforced platoons rules or they can be made
using Theatre Selectors for forces in the Desert War or those involving battles
in and around Italy. Regardless, forces
must come from these specific theatres of war. Armies such as the Soviets or
the Japanese did not fight in these areas so they would not be appropriate to
run in this event.
If you
have any questions. Please ask.
Please make
sure that you are familiar with the most up to date rules FAQ PDF available
(for free) from the Warlord Games Website.
ARMY LISTS ARE
DUE (by midnight) ON JUNE 30TH of September
Please

Awards:
Given the
purpose of the event, we will only have 3 trophies on offer at this event.
Best
Sportsman (for the
player that folks most liked playing)
Best
Painted Army (as
determined by players in the event)
Best
Themed Army (as
determined by the TO, if your army has a theme make sure this is communicated
to the TO)
Everyone
whose side wins the event on the day will get a custom objective marker/ token
as a prize to indicate their victory.
Games:
As stated
above, Sun’s Out, Gun’s Out! is a three game narrative event. Each round
will last 2 hours. Players will be assigned to sides (which will
generally line up with Axis and Allied forces) and their progress will
contribute to their team’s success or failure over the course of the day.
Missions
will be assigned to specific tables and a few of the tables will be slightly
smaller than the usual 4X6 size to represent specific types of specialized
combat environments.
The side
that has the most victories at the end of round one will be able to shift two
of their players from one player to another player on their side so that those
players change their table and opponents for the second round. The other side
gets to do this in round three.
