Kreighton gave an excellent overview of the new Third Edition supplement for the Armies of the Commonwealth, and today we’re continuing in our review of the book by looking at some of the highlights for new units in the book.
The Commonwealth includes a whopping six army lists, so we’ll be breaking this into two posts. Today we’ll be looking at the Australian, Canadian, and East Africa Command forces, representing a lot of different theaters across the globe – a real cross-section of the war!

G’day mates! Late last week my copy of Armies of the British Commonwealth arrived in the mail. After hearing and reading great things from those that were fortunate enough to get an advanced copy I was excited to dig in myself. Let’s see what’s in it.

This April, Warlord Games announced the introduction of their first all-plastic field gun and support weapon kits, marking a departure from their previous metal and Siocast offerings. According to Warlord, the primary driver behind this shift has been the increased demand for artillery pieces following the release of the 3rd Edition of Bolt Action. The new platoon structure allows players to field multiple artillery pieces more easily, creating a greater need for support weapons on the tabletop.

In this article we will continue our exploration of how various Tournament Organizers (TO) from around the country approach the Best Painted awards of their Bolt Action tournaments. In the previous article we looked at TOs from Utah, Wisconsin, Illinois, Texas, Ohio, Virginia, and California. This round I spoke with TOs from Illinois, Washington, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Virginia, and Maryland.

A few months ago, I wrote an article sharing different ways Bolt Action Tournament Organizers from around the country manage the flow of their tournaments. After wrapping up that article, I started thinking about other topics on which to shed some light. I found the inspiration for my next topic at a tournament I attended shortly thereafter. The impetus came from a discussion regarding the results of a Best Painted Army award. As this is painfully subjective (as all things art end up being), I figured this would be a topic with some potential. After interviewing ten tournament organizers from across the continental US, I put this together for your thoughts and comments.

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.

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.

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.

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.
