Belgian Army weapons teams – 18,00€

Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, light mortar teams and anti-tank rfile teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.

The Belgian Army was armed with the Lance DBT 50mm Light Mortar. Similar in design and the same caliber as the Japanese knee mortar, this weapon provided Belgian platoons with close infantry support and was capable of firing 20 rounds per minute.

The Belgian sniper carried and operated the Fusil Mle 1935 rifle. Firing a 7.56mm round and with a scope attached, this rifle was lethal in the hands of a marksman.

The British-made Boys anti-tank rifle was supplied to the French and Belgian armies as the Le Fusil Antichar Boys Mark I. The Boys was an effective anti-tank rifle against early German tanks.

Contains three Bolt Action Order Dice and the following Warlord Resin PlusTM figures:

• 2-man Light Mortar team

British & Inter-Allied Commandos weapons teams – 18,00€

Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, flamethrower teams and light machine gun teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.

By their nature as specialist raiders, Commandos go to battle lightly equipped in terms of weaponry. However, they made good use of Vickers K machine guns – formerly aircraft-mounted machine guns – with their high rate of suppressive fire. These 2-man teams comprise a Vickers K gunner and his No 2 laden with extra ammo.

Whilst marksmanship was a vital skill for all Commandos, those with a special aptitude for accuracy and field craft were often employed as snipers. In the early days of the organisation, snipers were employed on a more ad-hoc basis; later in the war they, along with their scoped rifles, were specifically listed in Commando tables of organisation and equipment. As well as being used for scouting and attacking enemy forces, snipers were also employed in pairs on landing craft to target enemy defenders during the run in to amphibious assaults and raids.

For the assault on Normandy in June 1944, Commandos were issued backpack flamethrowers for clearing fortified positions on the beaches. The Flamethrower, Portable, Mk 2 carried enough fuel for approximately 10 one-second bursts and were quickly discarded after the initial stages of the assault.

Polish Army weapons teams – 18,00€

Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, light mortar teams and anti-tank rifle teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome.

Like many other nations, Poland learned well the lessons of World War I, and saw the value in close-support mortar weaponry. Many infantry companies were issued 46mm light mortars to fulfil this close support role.

The Polish Army didn’t include specially equipped snipers as such, but the best shots in a company would be designated as marksmen.

The Polish wz.35 anti-tank rifle was unusual in that it did not fire a solid tungsten core round as did most other nations’ anti-tank rifles. Rather, it fired a standard lead core with a steel jacket. Instead of penetrating the hull like traditional anti-tank rounds, the transferred energy would cause spalling (making a piece of armour tear off inside the crew compartment) that lead to fragments ricocheting around the inside of the vehicle – a very nasty affair for the crew!

Contains three Bolt Action Order Dice and the following Warlord Resin PlusTM figures:

• 2-man Light Mortar team
• 2-man Sniper team
• 2-man Anti-tank rifle team

Italian Carabinieri section – 24,00€

Though trained and equipped for combat in the front line, the Carabinieri’s primary role was as military policemen. Mobile battalions were also used for reconnaissance and liaison. As they have since their creation in 1814, they also sometimes functioned as civil police, blurring the lines of their military and civil roles.

Full rules for fielding Carabinieri Sections in games of Bolt Action can be found in Campaign Italy: Soft Underbelly. Carabinieri Sections count as Infantry for the purpose of the generic Reinforced Platoon from the Bolt Action rulebook and Armies of Italy and the Axis book. 0–1 Carabinieri section can be selected as an Infantry section option for any of the Theatre Selectors found in the Armies of Italy and the Axis book and many of the reinforced platoons found in Soft Underbelly.

Contains 11 plastic and metal figures, with plastic bases and waterslide decal sheet.

L3/33 CC Tankette with anti-tank rifle – 18,50€

Italy’s L3 tankettes were the most numerous armoured fighting vehicles of the Italian war effort. At the war’s onset, the majority of Italy’s tank formations were equipped with L3s, and even early on the little L3 was outclassed by nearly every other armoured fighting vehicle it would square up against. The vehicle went through many modifications and adaptations over the years and this version mounts a Solothurn anti-tank rifle as its primary armament, allowing this diminutive vehicle a fighting chance against armoured opponents.

Contains one resin & metal vehicle, with vehicle damage markers, Bolt Action stat card and waterslide decal sheet.
