6,7, With our escalation league wrapped up in November, and many players otherwise occupied during the month of December it was decided to run a low key games evening, followed by a quick meeting with players to discuss what sort of events they want to see in the new year. (I admit I'm behind on my reporting and the event has already occurred, with a decent turn out of seven players).

On the day of the event we had 7 players show up and we decided to run two 2000 point team games, one of our players had brought extra units and bumped his list up to 2000. The match ups were random, after avoiding "Blue on Blue" matchups in our previous events it was a nice opportunity to play games that weren't simply Axis vs Allies. Both sets of players rolled randomly for scenarios and both tables ended up playing double envelopement. Table A had the Finns and a Panzergrenadier platoon take on a Japanese/Fallschirmjager Alliance, meanwhile on Table B the United States Marine Corps and some British Paras took on two platoons of Germans with heavy panzer support.

Due to the late start time we were able to only fit in the single game on the day. However, afterwards a few players stayed at the store for a quick meeting to discuss what events they wanted to see in the future. The consensus was quickly reached, they wanted more Bolt Action! Our earlier escalation league had proven a great success, with many new players wanting to join in. With this in mind I have begun scheduling a new, longer running league, that should begin in January. In addition we have also decided to run a month "Event Day" where games that don't fit a standard tournament format will be played. There is a lot of excite about trying out things like scenario battles from assorted campaign books, a D-Day themed event or even just large narrative games. The first day for the new escalation league has been plotted out and I will be consulting with IWTS to decide on an available date for the first Event Night.

By holding this event in the evening of a workday we were able to have the store virtually to ourselves, but it did unfortunately mean several out of town players were unable to attend and I will endeavor to keep as many events as possible scheduled for weekends.

The two days ended up being open gaming days. We had 5 different members of the local bolt action community come out and play games. My gaming groups newest desert themed buildings were used on the December 3 open gaming event.
