Hey guys, Warlord Games is looking for volunteers for their Sarge Program.
Warlord Games wrote:We are looking for a few good men…and maybe some women
Do you have what it takes to join the ranks of Warlord Games elite fighting force? The Sarge program is looking for individuals with the knowledge, skill and desire to train others (mostly the desire as we can give you the rest). As an official Sarge of Warlord Games, you would represent us on the field of battle as demonstrators and event organizers. Remember, local game stores need your help!
You may be asking yourself, do I have what it takes to be a Sarge? Are you 18 years of age or older? Do you have a strong knowledge of Warlord Games or a desire to learn? Can you handle the prestige and glory that comes with representing Warlord Games? Then I think you are ready!
Listen up men (or women)! We have some rules you need to know!
• The Sarge Program member understands and agrees that he/she is an independent contractor and has no power or authority to bind Warlord Games.
• A Sarge applicant certifies that the information that he/she has provided to become a member of the Program is true and correct.
• Any rights or benefits of membership or earned as a member of the Program cannot be assigned or otherwise transferred to any other person or entity.
• Warlord Games reserves the right to modify terms, conditions and policies of the Sarge Program at any time without notice.
• Warlord Games or the Program member may terminate Program membership at any time, with or without cause.
Mission:
Our current objective is to showcase our new Bolt Actions rules to local game stores.
In order to accomplish this goal we will be issuing a field manual (Bolt Action rules), and equipment (Demo sets).
In addition to glory and the envy of your friends you will also earn gear (product) vouchers for every mission completed! Sign up now!
Sarges are especially needed in the North East United States, Washington state, Portland Oregon and Texas. We have a severe shortage of Sarges all throughout California.
To sign up, email your Name, Phone Number, name of your FLGS if you have one, to Mike.majors@warlordgames.com with the subject "Sarge".

Holy crap, that's a solid deal. I've been interested in the game but never had anyone to play with. Now they're offering me a chance to build a bolt action group and I don't even have to pay? (Note:I don't consider my time spent teaching and running events paying lol )
Are you a sarge? How's the program?

I am not a Sarge, I do work in the North American office for Warlord; Mike Majors is in charge of the program contact him by the email posted above for additional details. We definitely want more people to help get the word out. Once you're registered in the program there is a forum you can browse and post to.

Listen, my children, as I pass onto you the truth behind Willy Wonka and his factory. For every wonka bar ever created in existance, Mr. Wonka sacraficed a single Oompa Loompa to the god of chocolate, Hearshys. Then, he drank the blood of the fallen orange men because he fed them a constant supply of sugary chocolate so they all became diabetic and had creamy, sweet-tasting blood that willy could put into each and every Wonka bar. That is the REAL story behind willy wonka's Slaughter House! |

That's kind of my issue... It's become huge at my old store, but I never go there anymore :( The gamers at my store fall into 1 of 4 categories, Magic: the Gathering, 40k, Flames of War, and Malifaux.

You should sign up anyway, the worst case scenario, you get a free demo set, and spend a day or two trying the to recruit some players, best case, you hook some people on Alessio Cavatore and Rick Priestly's newest games. We REALLY need some Sarges on the eastern seaboard; several stores are interested but really would love a way to gauge interest before committing.

I just shot him an Email Alf. We were actually talking about it at one of my LGSs post Adepticon as a new game system for the store to carry. That, coulpled with the fact that FFG dumped dust, and I think it could be pretty successful in my area. We could coordinate North and South Ohio.

It sprung up for 3 weeks at my store... and then died... I think I could get the FOW players in on it with the exception of like 3 of them. I know my store itself is applying for the Battlefront Rangers program... Bolt Action interests me more than Flames (but not by much). Lemme think it over. It's certainly different than other game systems that require you to have your starter sets bought and painted before you buy (which honestly is why I'm sitting here giving this more than than I would have).
I think there is a sarge in the Mansfield/Ashland area, but idk.

I really couldn't say, Alf. My personal baliwick is the east coast, Mike has Ohio. I can tell you that we definitley aren't satisfied with our market penetration just yet.

Hey guys, I made an inquiry, and anybody outside the US who is interested in becoming a Sarge can email Andrew Chesney at andrew.chesney@warlordgames.com. Be sure to use "Sarge" as the subject line.

From me?  I sent off an email with the Sarge information, but I had several questions I wanted answered .
No response, but it's still early in Az, and I suspect Mike to be a fairly busy man.

Mike has since answered my questions, and I've registered on the sarge forums. time to learn this game I'll probably talk to my store owner and see if I can't come in on a different night, or rotate it into our Friday night gaming once a month or so.

No, because the quote I provided was pulled from the PDF copy of the flyer sent out to Independent retailers. The UK is in the process of tweaking the US site; details for the Sarge program are scheduled to be included.

The Sarge thing is new to me but Warlord have been providing this sort of set up to Clubs in the UK in the last 6 months. From memory they provided the rules and two starter forces gratis. We chose the ECW pack over Bolt Action for some reason.
So maybe its better approaching them as a club in Europe?
