Bolt Action: Summer Campaign OVER – Guess Who Won?
The Bolt Action Summer Campaign has ended – Come see the results WW2 Gamers!
It’s not looking so hot for the Allies based on these results! Good thing these were just for fun or I’d have to brush-up on my German…

With the last few dice now rolled, our grand Summer Offensive Bolt Action campaign is now complete!
The big news is that you have rewritten history – the results showed a clear victory for the Axis in all four theatres! So well done to all those German, Japanese, Finnish, Italian, etc, etc, commanders.
We’d like to take this opportunity to say a huge ‘Thank you’ to all who took part… all of your Battle Reports, Photographs and contributions are what really made the campaign… over the course of 6 weeks, the story of the Second World War (albeit with a somewhat different outcome!) unfolded before our eyes.
There was laughter, there were tears – but all-in-all, it’s been overwhelmingly fun. We’re glad that it was so well received, and that you all shared our sense of fun and humour about the whole thing!

As a bonus, we’d like to reward some of the most active players for their contributions to the campaign – without your Battle Reports and Photographs submitted along the way, the campaign would have been a lot less characterful and colourful – so without further ado – we’d like to honour the following players:

Field Marshal sombra73 commanding kelly´s heroes (US)

The Summer campaign is a good barometer of what could have happened if the Axis War Machine had been able to keep itself going. They may have won this campaign but the results aren’t so lopsided that I’d count the Allies out of the fight just yet. Still – I like to give credits where it’s due and to all you Axis Generals that contributed: I tip my hat to you! And to you Allied Generals: time to go back to boot camp to train…We got a war to win!
What do YOU think of the results? Do you think the Axis could have pulled it off for real or was the Allied Juggernaught of War too much to stop in the long run? Based on these results how much longer do you think WWII could have lasted? Let us know in the comments below!
