In this week's episode, the Tommies are joined by Barry from the Roll Better podcast to discuss the extent to which Bolt Action can be considered a competitive game. The conversation skirts around (amongst other things) timepieces, players and visual aids, before helpfully concluding in the words of The Old Major that Bolt Action is a "Broad Church".

This week Jonny & Phil can't agree on much, other than the fact they disagree on why free units are problematic. They disagree less when suggesting some fixes to the game, and then Phil comes up with his best idea to date.

In this Case Blue Special we are joined by none other than the author himself Alex, who gives us an insight into what's in the book, the inspiration behind it and what it's involved in writing a Bolt Action Campaign book for Warlord Games.

In this episode we talk about how to play Operation Striking Cobra, a new custom mission from the Tabletop Tommies. It is an attacker/defender mission which involves a good amount of movement, alongside the need to hold objectives to secure victory.

You can download the mission briefing on our blog: https://tabletoptommies.com/blog/

We’d love to hear what you think of the mission – drop us a message or leave a comment on the Facebook post!

This week the Tommies discuss their experiences at the Warlord's Open Day and Welsh Open Bolt Action tournament. They'll discuss the highs and lows of both events, and the joy of meeting such legends as Alessio Cavatore and Mark Vance, and Phil demonstrates his knowledge of fine cuisine.

Brad from the Bolt Action Alliance and Cast Dice podcast https://www.facebook.com/CastDicePodcast, kindly joins us to discuss the brand new Bolt Action Alliance Mission Pack. He talks us through his past, the formation of the Alliance and the thinking behind the missions we find in this exciting new pack: https://boltactionalliance.blogspot.com/2023/09/

Jonny & Phil discuss the most under represented unit in Bolt Action: the MMG team. Once they've worked out why they are so rarely seen, they discuss the best changes we could make to encourage players to deploy them.
