Fight With A Band Of Brothers Starter Set For Bolt Action 2nd Edition
August 7, 2016 by brennon
Warlord Games have put together a new Starter Set for you to get stuck into Bolt Action 2nd Edition. Here we have the Band Of Brothers set which pits the US Airborne against German Grenadiers.
This boxed set will give you an all plastic start for World War II where you and a friend can play as the US and the Germans. The US will get themselves the Airborne which are looking great...
...while the Germans will get themselves some Grenadiers and also a Halftrack for some additional support.
This sounds like a great way to get started in the game as you have two really characterful sets packed with additional extras. I do like all the bits and pieces you get here like close combat weapons, alternative poses, maps and more.
If you pre-order the book then Warlord Games also have a deal for you where you get yourself a copy of General Patton to command the troops.
Does this like the entrance to World War II wargaming that you've been looking for? I think the US Airborne in particular are looking fantastic and well worth succumbing to shiny syndrome over.
What do you think?

I don’t have US or Jerries but it looks good value. Can’t wait to see how the revised rules shape up.
I just got a squad each of the Winter US & Jerries to try out 2nd Edition but this looks more up my alley. Guess I will practise my painting on the winter chaps!
ordered this yesterday. As a previous buyer of the system and lots of other stuff from warlord, I got an email with a code. Basically gets me the starter box plus a choice of one box of foot troops at no additional cost. Yippee! saving money time.
I’m going for the rulebook and extra box-o-Brits. Happy days!
Not only that looks like really good starter box but also it has some name recognition with whole Band of Brothers title.
This will make many WWII gamers happy.
I’m loving the Mohawks on the Airborne.
My first edition army are all metal ‘Screaming Eagles’ – two platoons of them. I think that this starter set will take me a step closer to being able to field ‘Easy Company’ in its entirety! Can’t wait to pick up my copy!
they look good.
As I saw this title, I was hoping SO hard to find a special Dick Winters in it. Like the Historicon one, which got passed me. I scanned the box, didn’t find him and was quite disappointed. For about 5 seconds. Then I realized what I was looking at. 5 minutes later I ordered it, but just before clicking “buy”, I thought, maybe take a look through your emails if you got a discount code from warlord. And how happy I was, when I found the previous buyer code for another free box of infantry. So I guess I’m now… Read more »
Warlords newsletter has them offering a bonus set of groups when you order a starter set or the new second edition book. Looks like good value
Pre ordered mine, it looks great and a free set of infantry!
I really need some blitzkrieg Germans, but they are not available as a freebie. Still, some free grenadiers – ooh, yes please!
