Warlord Games

The British and Commonwealth forces operated a considerable reconnaissance element that scouted ahead of the main armoured force, searching for enemy troop positions and dispositions. The Humber Armoured Car was one such vehicle used for this role, more than able to hold its own against other light vehicles and infantry. From the parched deserts of Africa to the streets and fields of Europe, the Humber Armoured Car spearheaded the Allied advance. Replacing the aging Humber Light Reconnaissance Car, the newly designed Humber Armoured Car quickly became a mainstay of the Commonwealth forces, particularly in the North Africa desert war. Initially armed with one 15mm and one 7.92mm Besa machine guns. The later Mk IV replaced the 15mm gun with a US M5 or M6 37mm anti-tank gun. So successful was the Humber that it served throughout the war, including in the North West Europe and Burma campaigns. Includes one plastic Humber Armoured Car model, Bolt Action Order dice, Bolt Action stat card, vehicle damage markers, assembly booklet and a full-colour waterslide decal sheet for British, Commonwealth, and Polish vehicles. In games of Bolt Action the Humber is an armoured car (DV 7+) with a light autocannon (MkII) or a light anti-tank gun (MkIV). It can be included in armoured platoons. This vehicle can also be used in games of Achtung Panzer!, the game of close-quarters tank-on-tank combat, its rules can be found in the Achtung Panzer! rulebook.

Brave the cold and push into Germany with Crossing the Rhine, the winter British & Canadian starter army! In their thick winter clothing and packing a huge amount of weaponry, these determined British infantrymen are ready to advance to battle on the Bolt Action tabletop. With an enormous amount of firepower at its disposal, this force is incredibly versatile and ready to take on all comers. This Bolt Action starter army gives you a battle-ready force of British troops that you can field in games as soon as they’re assembled. At the core of the force is a Rifle Platoon comprising an officer, a pair of ten-man infantry sections, and a two-man sniper team, plus an Engineer Platoon with two five-man sections each toting a powerful flamethrower, and another officer. All of these are built out of the included plastic sprues and show just some of the enormous variety of included weapons! Backing up the infantry are Heavy Weapons and Artillery Platoons, with a brace of medium machine guns, a medium mortar, and a 25-pdr light howitzer respectively - again, their officers are built using the plastic infantry frames, while the crews are cast in crisply detailed Warlord Resin. Finally, an Armoured Platoon brings even more firepower in the form of a lethal Sherman Firefly and fast-moving Humber armoured car, ensuring there’s no force that this army can’t face down. This force gives you the perfect starting point for a British collection themed around the later war in North-West Europe, and can be endlessly modified to your exact requirements and playing style. Wrap up warm, and get ready for battle!
