Expeditionary Brits Clash With Germans In New Bolt Action Sets
October 22, 2018 by brennon
Warlord Games are bringing the British up against the Germans again in Bolt Action with two new army bundles which will help you play out the battles of 1939 and 1940.
We start off with the British Expeditionary Force which is set up to represent the soldiers that first pushed hard into France against the Germans only to be beaten back during the early period of the war.
You could use these soldiers to represent the fighting retreat by the Allies as they pulled back to Dunkirk for example.

Going up against them we have a Blitzkrieg force for the Germans.
The Allies were so overwhelmed by the Germans during the early portion of the war with their armies able to almost literally drive circles around any defence arrayed against them.
This would be the force that you'd use to chase away the British force we showed off above and put the final hammer blow to the Allies presence on the mainland of Europe for some time.
Will you be playing as either the British or the Germans?
"Will you be playing as either the British or the Germans?"
I’ll be playing the French in the Battle of France – just painting up my forces now; while they may have struggled to cope on the strategic level, on the Bolt Action table they can overcome those obstacles and prove to be a fearsome opponent.
It’s good to see these forces available though that provide everything you need to get started.
Those do look nice.
These look great. I’ve been on the edge of doing an early war force for a while now, maybe the Brits.
For those wondering what that British Vehicle is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAKoCR6Ttr0
nice.
I’m vulnerable to the early Jerries. I have late war Brits and the WW2 itch is starting again (ruddy Boot Camps).
