You can buy direct from Slitherine/Matrix.

Now I have gotten the reminder e-mail telling me that if I don't play my turn I will lose points!

I just got the same thing. Connection takes a while and then goes to the error msg

Was trying to explore more unusual matchups. They are all historical.

Got it. Keeps things lively!

These look like really excellent matchups, but six 14-day rounds lasting through the Christmas and New Year's holidays?
My opinion only, but four or five rounds is the sweet spot.


I was surprised to see 6 rounds - has that many been done before? I think 5 is too long as well but that seems to ...

Division A

edb1815 (Romans) defeats Morat (Ostrogoths) 58%-31%

GG - Well played by Morat

I am in.

Armies:
1. Roman 379-424 w/ Hunnic 250-375

3. Byzantine 551-578

It would be a nice effect to have the sgts marked in game.

Hi
I have played Bolt Action since the 1st ed.

This or anything like it? Nightfalls and on winner? Anyone Know?


You may want to pose this question in the FOG or FOGM subforum. The answer is generally a draw but some of the tournaments have special rules on scoring. In the in the automated tournaments I think you just score a zero for that ...
