But damn it looks great!
And 1947 with Germans somehow hanging in there sounds like the perfect opportunity for the T28
When you're designed to combat a massive geographic location (the Siegfried Line), that's plenty fast enough. The hundreds of miles of stationary fortifications aren't going anywhere fast.
Oh, and on the note of experimental Super Heavy tanks, there's a guy on Lead Adventure making a British Tortoise tank in 28mm (popular vote chose that over the T-28).
As things go, you'll find minis of the experimental stuff in every other scale bar 28mm, and the only stuff you do find is for the Germans.
(I say that as I'm about to convert a Hetzer into a Katzchen APC due to lack of available in scale minis).
So everything looks awesome so far and I will pick up a starter, but not the American or German ones. There has been a lot of chatter on the FB page that British and Russian starters are going up for pre-order soon, do we know the contents yet?

Soviets are 8 models per sprue so basically six sprues. Seems reasonable
edit - but only six order dice? Assuming one per light walker, tank, and heavy infantry, only leaves 3 dice for 48 guys - so unless they expanded the squad sizes you'd need 4 dice for 4 12 man squads (or even more dice if you made officers, antitank rifle teams, etc)

Cossack light walker? Hmn, are there any pictures of that out? What're those ghoul creatures to the right of that picture?
I've not picked up the rulebook yet, too pricey and Frostgrave's just had its own expansion to contest with. From what I've seen though its more Bolt Action crossed with 40K (...or Dust) than the "what if" scenarios I was hoping for.
I guess for my own alt-History stuff I'll have to stick with the base rules, just with new units added to cover the paper-tanks and weapons developments (Brits with EM-2 rifles, etc). Oddly I haven't came upon a fan supplement along those lines already for the game, but they'd be easy enough to write myself.
Unless the 48 infantry is a typo, the Soviet starter is excellent value for money.
You sir are a legend!
What are the models beneath the Russian set contents, just wondering if you get 48 zombie/conscript type infantry not just regular infantry. But I am sold on the British set once I can see the walker.
Np They are the Siberian Horrors, assault troops with immunity to fire!
The Cossack light Walker, light autocannon with co-axail MMG. Can be upgraded to a light anti-tank gun . I think this is the coolest Walker produced by Clockwork Goblin.
The T34/ZP
The British Guardian is a Coyote light Walker with a flamethrower mounted on it's left arm.
Cromwell is the only Brit tank getting a Tesla turret at the mintue, their armoured infantry all get LMGs, the British Glizzly is missing the assault and Fist rules the US version has, must be a typo.
The Soviet unit that interests me the most is the Daughters of the Motherland, an genetically enhanced "all-female, propaganda-driven elite unit" who have fast, fanatical rules and can take body armour, anti-tank grenades. They also get LMGs for 10pts instead of 20, for some reason.

Actually it's a tank I'd never heard of, the Cromwell*, but that looks like a "T" in there so I'm guessing it will be a Tesla Cannon as the main gun.
*Admitedley until now the only WWII English designs I knew were the Universal Carier and Churchill / Churchill Crocodile
I have all the historical knowledge of a cheese sandwich so I have no idea what tank is what. The only reason I know the crocodile is I was at the Dorchester tank museum recently but I wouldn't know a Tiger from a Sherman unless it was painted on the side. Don't mind if it's not a tesla tank but good to know what I am kicking off with.
As I believe someone has already pointed out, you get a complete plastic tank sprue set, and a resin special turret. So you can easily swap between the regular Cromwell and the Tesla Cromwell.
I hope to be able to buy the resin special turrets by themselves someday. I've already got three Shermans; I don't feel the need for more.
He's got a mind like a steel trap. By which I mean it can only hold one idea at a time;
it latches on to the first idea to come along, good or bad; and it takes strenuous effort with a crowbar to make it let go.
I wouldn't mind a extra Projektor for my other Panzer IV too. Jez said on BoW it would be released as a stand alone after they produce enough for the single boxes, which in turn would be released after they make enough for the starters.

Have there been any reviews of the rules yet that anyone is aware of?
Specifically wanted to see bow close this was to GoA (which is great!) 40k wise would say you do notice some similarities in terms of the way weapon ranges work and 2nd 40k, but not very much with later editions.

I have seen a couple of book reviews up on YouTube (sorry I'm at the office or I would link them). It looks largely like the rules are a mash up of regular Bolt Action as the majority, but with the assault rules and reactions being very similar to GoA. As a huge GoA fan, I'm excited for Konflict. Just waiting on the British starter, myself.

AoS * Konflikt '47 * Conquest Last Argument of Kings * Trench Crusade * Horus Heresy * The Old World * Armoured Clash
I so wish my part of NY had more adventurous minis gamers. I'd be all over this system, but as usual, anything but Warmahordes requires obscene amounts of work and/or travel to get a game for.
Building my own AoS community literally took a month of dedicating every free day off I had, to demo-ing the game, and bribing folks with models and stuff, just to get player to initially show up.
I just added a Konflikt '47 list builder site for EasyArmy at http://k47.easyarmy.com if anyone would like to try it out. Just the Germans list for now while I make sure everything is working. Separate site from Bolt Action since I'm not sure of the future directions of K47 and BA2, so you'll need to re-register on it. Please email me if you find any bugs.

Awesome, just tested it out as I haven't had a chance to get my book yet. Works well and seems pretty smooth.
Quick question, is there no option for a 2nd/1st Lt in heavy armor in the game? It seems odd since they can be taken as troops and have a few support options in the armor as well.
