Warlord Releases Germany Strikes!: Early War In Europe For Bolt Action
July 13, 2015 by stvitusdancern
Warlord Games has released the next book in the Bolt Action series, Germany Strikes!. This time they are tackling the early period of WWII, this war was so long (six years) and saw so many technological advances that it is broken into three periods: early, middle and late war.
Obviously the late war is the most popular as that is we see all the cool equipment that everyone is familiar with. Unfortunately, the early war period see the least amount of love and I am of the belief that it is the most pivotal of the three periods. It is here that failed campaigns could have possibly shortened the war (Dunkirk - Dieppe).
This is when we also see the German Army at its peak of performance and fighting capability. Now you can replay these vital battles and see if you can change the course of history.
When you order the book directly from Warlord you can receive the special edition of Jack Churchill, that sword carry and only recorded kill with a bow and arrow in WWII. This colourful character is truly what legends are made of. If you are a Bolt Action like me then this is a must for your library.
What is your favorite period of WWII?
"...I am of the belief that it is the most pivotal of the three periods."
Finally. My favorite period of World War II. Given the large scale of Bolt Action miniatures, true LOS mechanics, and the realistic size limitations of a table, this might be a good fit for Bolt Action. I always get a little leery when people put big guns and tanks on a BA table, because of the historical ranges involved. The much shorter engagement ranges this early in the war might actually make this a better fit for BA. 🙂
Yeah my ting is eraly war and then anything eastern front^^!
I prefer mid war, Africa, Italy and some late war.
I’ve still to explore early war in Bolt action. I’m kind of saving it so I intend keeping it on the back burner for a while. In the meantime I will get this book. To be honest though I’m so easily influenced by things I like. If the books good it won’t be long before I jump in.
I do find the early war the most interesting – I mean cute little Panzer 1’s what is not to like 😉
I think the bonus mini’s a bit daft (yes, even though he’s based on a real person) so I’ve little incentive to buy from Warlord this time.
I do fancy a crack at early war and I do enjoy these books so I will be picking one up though (not least to keep myself in reading matter til an Italy book shows up).
