I was disappointed by the Warlord stand at Salute. I wanted a couple of blisters for BA but because the blisters racks were so small and low there was realistically only room for one person and it made it to awkward to search and I'm afraid to say the staff were no good as to my enquiries all I received was 'there over there somewhere'.

It did seem like more of "studio plus a small shop" rather than "shop + some studio fellows" outing for them this year. I found what I wanted but only after sussing different items were stacked behind one another on the hangers.

ANNOUNCEMENT: BOLT ACTION ONLINE CAMPAIGN



Dust off your orders dice because this summer we are running a massive Bolt Action event – an online campaign where you can post the results of your tabletop battles and try to affect the overall course of the war.
Every Bolt Action player can join in – when the campaign starts you’ll sign up by registering your country of allegiance and coming up with a name for your force. After that you’ll just need to play loads of battles and report back!
To whet your appetite, here’s some of our design work for the campaign website:



We’ll bring you more details of exactly how it will work nearer the time – for the moment we wanted to let you know that the Summer Offensive is on its way, so you can recruit your armies and prepare for battle.
Remember we have a huge array of starter armies and deals to help you assemble a force, including the updated German D-Day Defenders deal and the Getting Started Bundle, which now includes the German Grenadiers.

NEW: BLITZKRIEG PANZERGRENADIERS

Providing a solid and mobile core to any Bolt Action early war German army our new Blitzkrieg Panzergrenadiers matches our plastic Sd.Kfz 251/1 half tracks with our excellent plastic Blitzkrieg Germans – perfect for invading Poland, rampaging across Europe or waging total war on the Bolsheviks on the eastern front! Even better it’s a great value boxed set saving you your hard-earned cash!


Whilst the glory often went to the armoured knights of the panzer divisions, the infantry were the spine of the Wehrmacht. Germany’s cunning use of Blitzkrieg tactics conquered Poland, swept through the Low Countries and defeated France, before turning their attention to the Soviet Union. Soviet forces were pushed all the way to Moscow as the relentless march of Hitler’s landsers swept all before them.
Well-led, superbly trained and equipped with the finest infantry weapons in the world, the German infantryman was a skilled and dangerous foe capable of thinking for themselves if needed, giving them a significant advantage over their foes. Vorwärts!



This boxed set contains:
30 plastic Blitzkrieg German infantry with bases
3 plastic Sd.Kfz 251/1 Ausf C half-tracks
Background and construction sheets
Waterslide decals

A little something coming in the not-too-distant future - dismounted US tank crew from our forthcoming Winter US Army range...

PRE-ORDER: PLASTIC PANZER III
July 13, 2015 - Bolt Action, Bolt Action - German, Latest Products - Tagged: Bolt Action, Featured, Germany, Tank War
In a daring break from the norm, we’re here to cure those Monday blues with some brand-spanking-new plastic goodness…
Hold on to your hats, because as of today, our plastic Panzer III kit (which can be assembled to represent the Ausf J, L, M or N versions!) is available to pre-order!
PANZER III (PLASTIC BOX)


The Panzer III was one of the most numerous German tanks of the war, and was the mainstay of German armoured forces when they invaded the Soviet Union. It was well armoured and equipped with the 5cm KwK 38 L/42 cannon – an effective anti-tank weapon, and the 7.5cm KwK 37 L/24 cannon – used in an infantry support role.
By the end of June 1942, ahead of the German Summer offensive in the Soviet Union, around 600 Pz IIIs mounting the 5cm KwK L/60 were ready for action at the front. Ausf L were issued to the newly-formed panzer regiments of the 1st Leibstandarte Adolf Hitler, 2nd Das Reich and 3rd Totenkopf SS-Panzergrenadier Divisions, and the Panzergrenadier Division, Grossdeutschland.
Our plastic Panzer III kit can be assembled to represent either the J, L, M or N variants;
PANZER III J


PANZER III L

PANZER III M/N


And as with all of our plastic tanks, we’re also releasing the Panzer III Zug – which contains 3 of these plastic kits – ideal for Tank War!

I am very glad I held off on buying an polish army... those models are nice! I know it's a bit of a cheat to build the "super elite" minority of an army, but I like the idea of early war motorized troops.
