The first Victorian Bolt Action League event for 2019 has now come and gone.
Operation Autumn Mist was a 1000-point event hosted at Good
Games Melbourne, organised by yours truly. The event was a narrative style
gaming day, where the sides were split between Axis and Allies sides to fight
for glory.
I honestly want to say that I am proud of the Victorian Bolt
Action community at the moment, and running this event has made me keen to play
more games. Everyone has been really positive and is playing in good spirits. I
had no issues with any players, and all rules disputes were resolved very smoothly.
I think that players are becoming more conscious that our events
are not tournaments, but instead are simply gaming days where people can roll dice
and have a laugh. A lot of the people in our community don’t play regularly,
and our events every 2-3 months might be the only time they get out to game,
which means they don’t want to play in a super competitive environment.
