Nice and complete review.
I’ve been looking forward to this set for a while. Brilliant stuff!
I just received my rulebook today so will dive through it. the temptation to start a winter American force to counter my winter germans however is strong. not interested in the fallschrimjager though to be honest
YESSSSSSS! the start of Bolt Action week..bring it on, my set arrived today.
If you don’t have a silver sharpie, you can paint the numbers with some white paint.
you can but I find using markers easier to get the colour on top of the number
This is a good looking starter set.
That does look most spiffy.
My copy of the rulebook has a bit of a delay on it as I’ve paired it with a couple of the Sgt Sawyer minis but this is getting me all psyched for when it does turn up
“Battle Of The Bulge” sounds… naughty.
Sweet. Hopefully these videos make the time go faster for release
All looking very nice. I didn’t play much 2nd edition, but my WWII juices are starting to get flowing again for 3rd. I’m particularly liking what I hear about the new force selection rules, which feel a bit more realistic than previous editions.
it’s still not 100% historical and more a game, but at least the concept feels more like a proper army and less like a loose selection of units.
Overall everything I’ve seen so far feels like a logical evolution of rules that make the game better instead of changes meant to sell the illusion of an update.
I can be 100% historical, all the tools are there to do it
I hope i win
Waiting on my rulebook still, got too many armies on the go to invest in the winter theme for now
It’s really awesome that the models are in Winter Gear. It seems to be kind of a rare depiction in WW2 media and games. You just don’t see it as often, so I think the Battle of the Bulge is a cool theme for the set.
The irony being that most of the Battle of the Bulge was fought NOT in snow. Unless you’re in the awesome movie with the Spanish Army Pattons as Tigers and Panthers! 🤣
Looking forward to seeing what you guys think about the rules changes. The starter box looks good for the price but I’m not ready to buy into another period of the war just yet.
Fantastic coverage! It’s an exciting week for the Bolt Action community! Was there anything you wished was included in the Bulge Starter?
does anybody know what the SMG is that one of the fallschrimjager is (top left)? it looks a lot like a looted Sten gun?
there’s a sten, ppsh, mp38 and mp40 as SMG options on the sprue so probably yes
covers all theatres then which is good… although the stitch counter in me will have an aneurysm if someone puts a Sten and ppsh in the same squad… I won’t do anything about it as I have better things to do in life but internally I will know they can be sacrificed when the time comes
Nice one 🙂
Comment! My group and I would love a box 😀
Looking forward to playing this
I’ve been looking forward to having a game of 10 of the new edition. Great review, thanks.
Exciting times ahead!
Looks good, maybe it’s time to finally start that Winter army
Looks ace. Looking forward to getting started.
Good start to the week, you have piqued my interest.
My favourite starter box so far for BA
