British

Lead your British paratroopers to victory with these British Airborne Platoon Commanders! Officers are an essential part of any army – without them, there’s no-one to give orders! This is just as true in Bolt Action as in life, with each of your Platoons requiring an officer to lead them. These British Airborne Platoon Commanders are just what your troops and your army list need, giving orders and leading their men into combat. Each of these fantastic sculpts is themed to lead a Rifle, Recce Infantry, Artillery, or Heavy Weapons Platoon, and of course can be used singly or with attendants! Ensure your army has plenty of leadership today! Contains four Warlord Resin British Airborne Platoon Commanders, and plastic bases.  

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!

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. Medium Mortar Team The 3-inch mortar was used to provide support from up to 3,000 yards dependent upon the projectile used. The 3-inch mortar was operated by a crew of 3.
