Rules

The Golden Rule: People might have a different opinion than you, this isn't a basis to be a jerk. Treat your fellow players with respect!
No Pirated Material: No linking to pirated material, PDF's or rules. Support Warlord Games by buying their product and keeping the game alive.
Posts Must be in Some Way Related to Bolt Action: This is a subreddit for the game, not for wargaming in general, or WWII history overall.
No Vague or Lazy Posts: * No lazy posts like "Build my list for me" or "What do I do?". Do your research and bring in some well educated questions please!
Please Use Reddit's Image Upload Feature, or a Free Service Like imgBB When Linking Images.
Limit Advertising: Only one marketing-type post is allowed on the front page per company or channel at a time.
No Dumb Meme Posts: Keep the subreddit front page meme-trash free please. Comments containing memes are fine.
No Karma Farming, or Posts Without Proper Context: Please no posts of giant "hobby hauls" or "look at how much stuff I bought" without enough context to start a conversation. Describe what you're working on with a comment or description along with your photos.
No Links to Vulnurable Sources Such as Dropbox or Google Drive: It is too easy to keep malicious files in places like these which may affect a user when clicked on, and we cannot and will not moderate all external links for safety.
No Offensive or Inconsiderate Material: Please refrain from posting anything which may be considered offensive or inconsiderate with respect to WWII. Please use common sense and maintain dignity with sentitive topics.
