NB: Preorder product which releases on 31st July 2025 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!

Commandos fought in campaigns in Europe, Burma, Africa and earned battle honours for many famous actions including arguably the greatest raid of all – St Nazaire. Commandos were fielded in many different ways – from units of less than a full section up to full assault divisions depending on the task at hand. Superbly trained, aggressive in action, well-equipped and deadly in hand-to-hand combat the Commandos were rightly feared by their German, Italian and Japanese foes. Contains:

HQ The middle ranks of officers were almost invariably drawn from the upper-middle classes: educated in the public schools, instilled with the values of empire, and imbued with a sense of confidence, duty and resolve that is difficult to conceive of today. An officer unit consists of the man himself and can include up to two other men acting as his immediate attendants. FOO Forward observers are liaison officers responsible for coordinating the attack of heavy artillery batteries from behind the lines or aircraft strikes. Medium Machine Gun Team A .303 Vickers water-cooled machine gun offered fire support to infantry units. This was another weapon of World War I vintage that soldiered on through World War II and beyond, proving extremely effective at laying down continuous fire over a long range. A typical team consisted of a lance corporal gunner, a loader and an ammunition bearer.
