Panzerschreck 2018 Bolt Action
After missing Panzerschreck last year due to Flames of war moving onto V4 rules which I haven't liked, Panzerschreck this year had Bolt action on offer. It was 1000pts single reinforced platoon armies I finally had a chance to use my Soviets for the first time but more importantly my T-35.
Just 5 days out from the event the organizer and his 2ic helping him pulled out dew to personal reasons and the event was to be scrubbed. Not having ever ran an event I decided to take on the running of the event. With two people now pulled out that left just 6 of us so this seemed like a good chance to see how running a tournament was. As the person running Flames of war side of the event had already organized the hall and other bits all I had to do was sort prizes for our small comp.
Some laser cut trophies had already been done for 1st, 2nd, 3rd, best painted and best sport. I would like to thank Scott Bowman who runs the Paraparaumu Beach pharmacy. He was kind enough to give some prize support for our little comp. So I gave him the honor of choosing the best painted army. I Also want to thank my brother Shane for the use of his 3D printer so I could make some bolt action blast templates with Panzerschreck 2018 on them.
As there was only 6 of us we played 5 games. Each player played each other once there was 3 games on Saturday and 2 on Sunday.
Game 1 - No mans land.
Game 2 - Key positions.
Game 3 - Meeting engagement.
Game 4 - Sectors.
Game 5 - Demolition.
There was a good mix of armies being used
Myself - Early war soviets - ( Hordes of SMG infantry and a T-35 )
Craig - US Airborne - ( With no armor but lots of AT )
Mark - Early war Finns - ( Sissi ski troops, Vickers 6 ton and BA10 )
Warren - Late war US - ( M26 Pershing and vet Paratroopers )
Ken - Japanese - ( Lots of infantry)
Andrew - Winter Germans - ( Nasty nebelwerfer and Panther )
Everyone had a great weekend even though it was a small field of players. Everyone said they would be keen for next year and with a bit more time I should be able to get more people entered.
1st - Andrew
2nd - Mark
3rd - Warren
Best painted - Andrew
Best Sport - Ken
I look forward to running another event it was a fun and different experience and very satisfying to of pulled it together in short time.

| The M26 Pershing. There is a friend with a Panther tank this this would like to meet. |
 |
| M20 Greyhound with .50cal HMG |
 |
| M8 Armored car with 37mm At gun and .50cal HMG |
 |
| All my armor. M26 Pershing, M4 Sherman, M3 halftrack, M8 Scott/ M5 Stuart and M20/M8 Greyhound |
Look forward to using these soon maybe in a practice game for Panzerschreck which is next month on the 14th and 15th of July.
