Thank you to all of the players who battled through 6 games. All of you made the league a HUGE success.
We would also like to thank Wes Moss and Owl Central Games for hosting the league and providing prizing and support, Warlord games for providing prize support, and the Owl Central staff for all that they did to keep things running when the TOs could not be there.
Special thanks to Joe Potteiger and Tim Poulos. Your hard work has been invaluable the last few months.
There will be another Bolt Action League. Keep your eyes open in Spring of 2020.
