Report a Battle

Relax soldier, Paris has fallen. You deserve a rest!

Welcome to the D-Day 75th Anniversary Campaign for Bolt Action, Cruel Seas and Blood Red Skies.

Your first step in taking part is to Sign Up; that is, to create a player account on this website. This account will not be linked to any other Warlord Games account you might have, and will only be used for the duration of the campaign and the immediate aftermath. The process of signing up is as follows:

  1. Click on the Enlist: Sign Up link at the top of all pages in this website.
  2. Enter your First Name, Last Name, Username and Email Address. Your email will not be shared with other players, but your name and username will, so use an alias if you prefer not to disclose your actual name. We will only use the email address supplied to contact you regarding this campaign.
  3. Enter a Password and then re-enter it into the Confirm Password field; use the password Strength Indicator to make your password as difficult to hack as possible.
  4. In the Force Picture field, you can select a faction badge or symbol for your force, otherwise you will be assigned the standard badge of your faction. Inappropriate badges will be removed and in extreme cases may result in your account being deleted.
  5. Select whether you prefer to fight for the Allies or Axis powers in the Faction field. You will play games against opponents of the opposite faction – allies don’t fight allies!
  6. Enter a Force Name to identify your units from those of other players.
  7. The Force Description area gives you the option of providing more information about your forces and the units they represent.
  8. Finally, once you’ve reviewed your registration, click on the Submit button to  complete your registration.

If you have any problems with the registration process you can contact us at campaign.hq@warlordgames.com. If not, and you’re just cooling your heals until the campaign begins, why not practice your skills with our Tiger Hunt game.

Once you’ve signed up for the campaign, you can get on with the main business of playing games. Games can be Bolt Action, Tank War, Cruel Seas and/or Blood Red Skies; the forces used and size are up to you and your opponent. All that is required is that one of you fights for the Allies and one fights for Axis forces. Obviously we’d like to see as much D-Day themed forces and battles as possible, but ultimately you can play any way you want. We’ve included some scenarios on this site to get you thinking in the right direction, but you are not limited to these.

Report a Battle FormOnce you’ve played your game, one of the participants should report the result using the Report a Battle button on the homepage of this site. You will need to report the following minimum information:

  • Your opponent’s Username.
  • The Game you were playing – remember Tank War is listed separately to standard Bolt Action games.
  • The Result; either an Axis Win, and Allied Win or a Draw.

The can also provide a Battle Report of the game and a Picture of the conflict. These are optional, but could lead to worldwide recognition of you and your exploits.

Finally, if you played your game in a participating games store, please take the time to find it in the Location list. This will help your local store gain recognition in our Busiest Battlefields list.

Once you’ve finished adding the details of your battle, click the Submit Result button.

The Report a Battle form will be live soon, but you don’t need to wait to start your games. The campaign begins!
