A few weekends ago I had the privilege to attend the Operation Amherst Bolt Action tournament at Bazooka Games in Westminster, Maryland.  This tournament is the spring tournament run by Mike Kehs and the event reflected his veteran TO status.  Rounds began in a timely manner, questions from players were quickly addressed, the atmosphere was friendly and constructive, and the tables were gorgeous and thematic.  From a players perspective the event was well worth the drive and I left with some swag, a raffle prize, and some new friends.

Big treat today, we have Rich Hamilton from Wargame Design Studio and we talk about the latest release from WDS, The American Revolutionary War. We also talk about other WDS games and their recent news about using the Steam platform.

Hey Reader!

The Starcraft Tabletop Miniatures Game is out in the world now, and that means we can finally show an example of a stat card, because it’s probably the final version! With open beta behind us and being firmly in First Edition, as you consider ordering your minis, we thought it would be useful to look at an example stat card to show you how to read it, and what to look for in units that you prize.

For our example today, we’re going to take a look at the proud and powerful zealots of the Protoss.

Kreighton gave an excellent overview of the new Third Edition supplement for the Armies of Italy, and today we’re continuing in our review of the book by looking at some of the highlights for new units in the book.

Italy is the first of the “minor nations” in Bolt Action that has received an army book.

En Taro Adun, Reader!

The Starcraft Tabletop Miniatures Game is available for preorder through April 15th (though they’ll still be in the online store following that time, albeit with some of the bundle options leaving circulation, so if you’re interested, check it out)! Last time we looked at the Zerg, and today we’re finishing our first look with their ancient foes: the Protoss, the firstborn of the gods, and a powerful psionic race.

We here at No Dice No Glory had the privilege of looking through an advance copy of the upcoming Armies of Italy book.  The new Army Special Rules are a welcome addition and add unique flavor to Italian armies in Bolt Action.  Veteran Italian players will be relieved to see familiar entries but with new twists that will provide an opportunity to reevaluate their army builds.  Aaron will cover some exciting new units in another article so I will focus my attention on the new Special Army Rules and the book as a whole.

Just back from Adepticon and yes I got into a new game! ESR Napoleonics, while I have known Dave for a while I never sat in one of his demos. However I got the book and got into the game. Dave and I talk about the design and how this game is a different take on playing Napoleonics.

The Starcraft Tabletop Miniatures Game is now available for preorder! Last time we looked at the Terran Army, and today we’re shifting to the Zerg: the quintessential “Bug Race” commonly found in the sci-fi descendants of Robert Heinlein. And wow did Archon Studios go all-out on these!

Hey Reader!

The Starcraft Tabletop Miniatures Game is now available for preorder! After almost 10 months of waiting, reading up on how the game would be played, and joining in the beta tester program, I’m excited that miniatures are soon coming to stores near you – and can be ordered to your house right now!

Today we’re looking at what’s available to you for the Terran Armed Forces: the forces of humans that first arrived in the Koprulu Sector as a prison colony given a new chance at freedom, but over the centuries has now become several full civilizations carving out a living on new planets among alien races.

My Bolt Action army project of the year is a winter American army project.  While my infantry will advance through the snow on foot, they are in desperate need of armor support.  In order to fully commit to the theme I decided to paint the armor support in winter camouflage.  The general idea was to paint it white with the green undercoat showing through where the white paint rubbed off.
