Welcome to Saturday of our Bolt Action Boot Camp. We're going to be taking those armies we built yesterday from Warlord Games and getting them stuck into some Desert Warfare.

Win Boot Camp Gongs And Oriskany's Campaign
Armies are starting to appear on the table so we take everyone aside to tell them about the various Boot Camp Gongs they can earn over the weekend.
James is also running a Western Desert campaign over the weekend, and he introduces it to the players to see who will answer the call.
Gaming In The Desert
The armies are moving over from the hobby bench to the gaming tables as the Boot Campers start getting stuck into Bolt Action.
Amara The Immortal Carrier Lives!
In commemoration of the incredible endurance of one Sikh carrier on the live stream, Rot6 added their own artistic impression of the dauntless vehicle.
Behold, Amara the Immortal Carrier!
Boot Camp Gong - FUBAR!
Another spot prize has been awarded and this time it’s for a complete and utter FUBAR.
Gerry talks to Stephen about exactly what happened for him to win this infamous gong.


























































Just sitting down to paint some Imperial Scouts. Will tune in to the livecast later.
Ooooh I want some of those mini’s in the future, and for NOT Star Wars.
First.
< on a shopping run in hopes to find metrial for the project
unsucessfull… time to plunder the paper bin
Those Sikhs look good. Need more!
Day 2 looking even better than day one!
Hello friends 🙂
I love the western desert campaign. But that might be because i love the Matilda II. I want to get round to doing an armoured force of Matilda II’s for Bolt action at some point.
Wow the Boot Camp looks like so much fun! Bolt Action is a great game to go all-in for a weekend.
No its hard work, Justin and Warren stand over you with wips, shouting paint, play harder, and if you are not fast enough, they don’t wip you!?
need to start painting the mountain of stuff that’s on my desk…
sick stream
Excited to watch the games today while working on my project! Have fun everyone 🙂
I have a buddy there and cant wait to see him dominate some games!
Painting away on my Gen. Patton and watching the streams, not bad for a Saturday.
Soooo much to catch up on. I’m still working through day one.
here we go daY V2
Does anyone know about these kinds of events happening in the US?
Also the lady who came with her husband just to pitch in is a saint. Someone should pick her up some flowers.
I have not jumped in on any historical war games yet, but bolt action looks like it would fit my skirmish kick.
inspiring stuff
Another day, another ton of videos to watch. Whoo!
HEAVY SIGH. So you all got to spend the day fighting battles in the desert while I spent the day re-roofing my shed. I wonder which of us had the more fun :op
the bolt action project page is not working? anybody having the same issue?
Day 2 or is it Day 1 proper?
Either way looking forward to seeing how the games go. DAK all the way (only as there are no Italian armies)
Love the stories from Oriskany and that campaign map!
Thanks very much @digganob99!
day 2 lets get going
Some day when I actually can afford to fly over I need to go to a boot camp.
Great content guys
Great day wish I could I have been there!
So much done in just a day and a half. One day i’ll make it over for one of these I hope.
Cool prize
Fun watching this while painting up some bolt action minis
Good coverage guys
Day 2… Looks like everyone is having a great time.
Really wished I could be there this weekend, but it’s the wife’s birthday today. Have a great day gaming guys.
Everything is looking great. I wish i could paint that fast; it would be an all nighter for mean I would only be half the way as far as some of what I am seeing. Everyone having fun?
Now the battles begin!
Another excellent day of coverage.
Sooo much catching up to do. I better get stuck in.
Let the bullets fly!
