Bolt Action

Each set is designed for two players, offering everything you need to play your first battle right out of the box. These all-in-one packages eliminate the need to collect armies and accessories from scratch. Instead of wondering where to start, you get a complete solution that lets you focus on learning the rules and tactics. Inside, you'll find two opposing forces, such as American and German troops, ready to clash on the tabletop battlefield.

What's in a Bolt Action Starter Set?

A typical starter set contains all the essential components for the game. The foundation is, of course, infantry models, often accompanied by vehicles or artillery for both sides. The miniatures are made of plastic and require assembly and painting, which is an integral part of the scale modeling hobby. Alongside the models, the box includes a rulebook, a set of special Order Dice, standard six-sided dice (D6), tokens, and range rulers. Some larger sets, like 'A Gentleman's War' or 'Band of Brothers,' also feature terrain elements, such as ruined buildings, to enhance the battlefield.

The Perfect Start to Your Wargaming Adventure

Choosing a starter set is the most cost-effective and practical way to enter the world of Bolt Action. By purchasing everything in one package, you save money compared to buying each component separately. It's also an excellent option for introducing a friend or family member to the hobby, as the set enables you to play together immediately. Assembling and painting your own units is incredibly rewarding and allows you to give your army a unique personality. If you've ever wanted to command your own platoon on the battlefields of World War II but didn't know where to begin, a Bolt Action starter set is the perfect answer.

A Key Element of the Bolt Action Battlefield

Terrain for the Bolt Action wargame is much more than just decoration. It is a fundamental element that adds tactical depth and visual realism to your gameplay. Every building, ruin, or forest on the gaming table influences the course of the battle by blocking the line of sight, providing cover for infantry units, or hindering vehicle movement. With carefully selected model pieces, you can faithfully recreate World War II battlefields—from the devastated cities of France and the snow-covered forests of the Ardennes to the fortified coastlines of Normandy. All the models we offer are scaled to the popular 28mm (approximately 1:56) standard for wargaming, ensuring visual consistency with your soldier and vehicle miniatures.

Build Your Own Battlefield

This category features a diverse range of terrain elements that will allow you to create unique and atmospheric gaming tables. We offer ready-made building models, such as houses, churches, and factories, as well as their destroyed counterparts in the form of ruins, which perfectly capture the reality of wartime devastation. Fortification elements are also available—bunkers, trenches, sandbags, and anti-tank obstacles, which are key for creating defensive scenarios. We haven't forgotten about nature: model trees, hills, rivers, and cultivated fields allow you to diversify the battlefield and introduce additional tactical challenges. These items are made from various materials like resin, HDF, or plastic, and may come ready to use or require assembly and painting.

When starting your journey into building a gaming table, you don't need to buy everything at once. It's a good idea to start with a few key pieces, such as a larger ruin, a few low walls or fences, and a couple of tree clusters. Even this basic set will make your games more engaging and immersive. You can gradually expand your collection to create more advanced and varied battlefields that will serve as the backdrop for many unforgettable clashes in the world of Bolt Action.
