Devonport Bolt Action Tournament

Chris' Soviets, Mark's Italians & Jim's DAK made the trip to Devonport for their Operation Kamplinjer Bolt Action Event. The quality of the terrain on the 10 tables was as always at Devonport a feature as was the standard of modelling (though definitely not Camp Cromwell's best suit).  There were 3 rounds with matches as much as possible Axis v. Allies.  While the event was characterised by having a good time rather than winning, Team Cromwell had a successful day.  Our 9 games gave us 7 wins, 1 loss & 1 draw.  Mark won Best Minor Power general & Jim was 2nd Best Axis general. 

The armies were 1250 pts with 2 platoons allowed, one of which could be armour, with entries scrutinised for excess cheese.  The result was some interesting challenges - like infantry forces with little anti-tank v. forces with several tanks (and it wasn't always the armour that won).The venue in the Nixon St Primary School Gym.Two examples of the 10 tables.Many thanks to Acktar & co. for another excellent event.
