Es gibt zwei neue Starterbox und mehr bei Warlord Games.

British 6-pounder anti-tank gun (plastic) – 24,00€

Introduced into the British Army in North Africa in April 1942 and seeing action the following month, the QF 6-pounder made an immediate impact on the battefield. In the Gazala battles it proved able to take on any Axis tank at useful engagement ranges, and destroyed more than 15 tanks in a single action during the Second Battle of El Alamein. Despite being unable to penetrate the frontal armour, it was also the first gun to knock out the feared Tiger. The 6-pounder was easy to manhandle into cover and could sustain a rapid rate of fire, its useful life being extended by improvements in ammunition.

In games of Bolt Action the 6-pounder can be included in Artillery Platoons and is a Medium Anti-tank gun, that can be towed by most vehicles.

Contains

• One gun frame that makes the British 6-pounder or the US 57mm M1, with standard or hinged trail legs for airborne forces
• One crew frame that makes four crew in British Army mid-late war uniforms, also suitable for many Commonwealth forces. A variety of heads and arms, and a range of equipment are included, as well as shells and cartridge cases for decorating your bases. The crew frame includes enough to make the three man crew plus an extra soldier that can be used as a platoon commander, a spotter, or just added to your infantry squads.
• British and Canadian decals
• One 60mm and one 25mm base
• One Order Die

British Heavy weapons platoon (plastic) – 36,00€

Stoic in defence and methodical in attack, the British Army relied on its heavy weapons to support the infantry and keep the enemy’s heads down.

The 3 inch medium mortar was the mainstay of the British Army’s Support Companies, providing organic close fire support to the Rifle Companies in each Infantry Battalion. Its heavier cousin, the 4.2 inch heavy mortar, was first used at the Battle of El Alamein, and threw a 20lb bomb out to over 4,000 yards. The Vickers medium machine gun was a veteran of the First World War. While its rate of fire was slower than other guns, because it was water cooled it could sustain accurate fire for extended periods and was incredibly reliable.

The box contains everything you need to build a Heavy Weapons Platoon – up to two medium machine guns, and two medium or two heavy mortars or three heavy weapons teams plus a platoon commander and bodyguard. If you choose the latter you can also use arms and weapons from your infantry as the crew are modelled in British Army uniforms, and are fully interchangeable with the plastic infantry. Note that the Heavy Mortars have four crew, so the exact number of weapons teams you can build depends on which weapons you choose. Included are enough 60mm bases to make up to four weapons teams total.

Contains:

• Two heavy weapons frames each with a Vickers MMG with tripod, ammunition and water cooling can, including covered and uncovered barrel options, plus a medium mortar and a heavy mortar, both with bipod and baseplate plus ammunition.
• Three crew frames containing a total of twelve crewmen, in mid-late war British Army uniforms, also suitable for many Commonwealth forces. Included are a range of heads, arms and equipment plus ammunition cases and rounds for decorating your bases.
• Four 60mm and three 25mm bases
• British and Canadian decals
• Four Order Dice

For King & Country – British & Canadian starter army – 125,00€

By the latter half of the Second World War the British Army had brought its combined arms approach to warfare to a perfect pitch. Meticulous planning and overwhelming firepower made it an efficient fighting force, and one that could achieve its objectives while minimising casualties. From the discipline of the Guards, the ferocity of the Black watch to the elan of the Yeomanry, regiments from all corners of the country fought with distinction. The Canadians used British equipment but had their own character and their own famous regiments, including the Royal Winnipeg Rifles and the Sherbrooke Fusiliers.

This Starter Army allows you to field a fully legal British or Canadian force for Bolt Action: Third Edition – entirely in plastic! With 36 infantry armed with rifles, light machine guns, light mortars and PIATs, forming a Rifle Platoon, backed up by the mortar teams and machine guns of the Heavy Weapons Platoon, you’ve got a flexible core of troops ready for any tactical challenge. Supporting them is an Armoured Platoon composed of a Cromwell medium tank and a Humber armoured car for scouting the battlefield, with a 6-pounder medium anti-tank gun in an Artillery Platoon providing still more firepower. The artillery and heavy weapon crew, 16 in all, are fully interchangeable with the infantry.

Able to be built and customised to an incredible degree, or built and played straight out of the box, For King & Country is the perfect way to start a new Bolt Action force.

Includes British and Canadian decals.

Stars and Stripes US Starter Army – 125,00€

Backed by unmatched logistical support, the US Army grew rapidly to become the most mobile and tactically flexible fighting force the world had ever witnessed. Well supplied and well led, the US infantryman, the famous GI, was confident of success in any theatre in which he fought.

This Starter Army allows you to field a fully legal US Army force for Bolt Action: Third Edition – entirely in plastic! With 36 infantry armed with rifles, carbines, sub machine guns, automatic rifles and bazookas, forming a Rifle Platoon, backed up by the mortar teams and machine guns of the Heavy Weapons Platoon, you’ve got a flexible core of troops ready for any tactical challenge. Supporting them is an Armoured Platoon composed of a ubiquitous Sherman and an M8 armoured car (can also be assembled as an M20 scout car), with a 57mm medium anti-tank gun in an Artillery Platoon providing still more firepower. The artillery and heavy weapon crew, 16 in all, are fully interchangeable with the infantry.

Able to be customised to an incredible degree, or built and played straight out of the box, Stars and Stripes is the perfect way to start a new Bolt Action force.

Includes decals for the ‚Big Red One‘ 1st Infantry Division.

US 57mm anti-tank gun (plastic) – 24,00€

Developed from the British QF 6-pounder, the 57mm M1 anti-tank gun was introduced in 1943 into US Army units and was the standard anti-tank gun by mid 1944, serving in Italy and Northern Europe. While it struggled to penetrate heavy German armour frontally it was effective in combat, being handy to manoeuvre, easily concealed, and capable of a rapid rate of fire.

In games of Bolt Action the 57mm M1 can be included in Artillery Platoons and is a Medium Anti-tank gun, that can be towed by most vehicles.

Contains

• One gun frame that makes the British 6-pounder or the US 57mm M1, with standard or hinged trail legs for airborne forces
• One crew frame that makes four crew in US Army mid-late war uniforms. A variety of heads and arms, and a range of equipment are included, as well as shells and cartridge cases for decorating your bases. The crew frame includes enough to make the three man crew plus an extra soldier that can be used as a platoon commander, a spotter, or just added to your infantry squads.
• US Army decals
• One 60mm and one 25mm base
• One Order Die

US Heavy weapons platoon (plastic) – 36,00€

The US Army was well known for bringing overwhelming firepower to bear on its foes, and its infantry heavy weapons were a critical part of that doctrine. Medium machine guns and mortars provided vital direct and indirect fire to keep the enemy pinned, while the US Army’s big hitter, the legendary „Ma Deuce“ .50 cal heavy machine gun, could punch through cover and even destroy light vehicles.

The box contains everything you need to build a Heavy Weapons Platoon – up to four mortars and machine guns or three heavy weapons teams plus a platoon commander and bodyguard. If you choose the latter you can also use arms and weapons from your infantry as the crew are modelled in US Army uniforms, and are fully interchangeable with the plastic infantry. Note that HMGs have four crew, so the exact number of heavy weapons you can field depends on how you choose to build them. However you choose you’ll have plenty of spares for converting squads and vehicles.

Contents:

• Two heavy weapons frames each containing one .30 cal M1919 medium machine gun, two .50 cal heavy machine guns (one standard M2 Heavy Barrel and one AN/M2 barrel) with two tripods, one M1 81mm medium mortar with bipod and a selection of ammunition. That’s two MMGs and four HMGs with a total of four tripods for the machine guns, plus two medium mortars with bipods.
• Three crew frames totalling twelve infantry models that can be assembled as crew or command squads, with a selection of heads, arms and equipment, including a hand holding a mortar bomb and a pair of hands holding the HMG triggers.
• Four 60mm and three 25mm bases, allowing you to construct up to four heavy weapons teams or three heavy weapons plus a platoon commander and bodyguards.
• Four Order Dice
• US Army decals
