Stalingrad Awaits For Bolt Action Players In April 2020
January 8, 2020 by brennon
Stalingrad is going to be one of the new sourcebooks popping up to support Warlord Games' Bolt Action in April 2020. Brutal fighting awaits those pushing deep into the Eastern Front.
Here is what you have to look forward to...
"One of the most infamous and decisive battles of the Second World War, Stalingrad was a turning point of the Eastern Front, showing that the German juggernaut was not invincible. This new Campaign Book for Bolt Action allows players to refight the fierce Battle of Stalingrad, including the actions within the city itself and those of the surrounding area, the encirclement, attempted relief, and breakout. New, linked scenarios, rules, troop types, and Theatre Selectors provide plenty of options for both novice and veteran players alike."
City fighting seems like a nice change of pace for Bolt Action. A lot of focus is put on the clashes across the fields of rural France but this provides you with an entirely different style of warfare. I have always liked the idea of playing more intimate battles, close-knit fights between smaller squads of soldiers where you know the names of all your men (and women, especially in Russia!).
In that sense, I reckon that this campaign supplement would certainly offer that to some degree.
Will you be picking this up in April?
"City fighting seems like a nice change of pace for Bolt Action..."
Stalingrad where every room was a front at time’s.
And later in Berlin too 😉
Yup for sure.
I think that’s pretty much any city fight in war.
Yup.
Warlord should do a Stalingrad Starter Set with urban terrain, that would sell like hotcakes. Two things everyone likes: Stalingrad battles, and hotcakes.
Hi @fightcitymayor,
The staff have told me that they are doing a lot of Stalingrad lazer cut terrain to accompany the release of the book.
Would be a good excuse for another boot camp weekend
Great minds think alike! It has been suggested to the ads at OTT, and I suspect it’s going to happen.
@bobcockayne @brucelea #@buggeroff @christianhou52hotmail-com @oriskany it would be a great opportunity to get together and have a “Soviet Re-Union”!
well on for that 🙂
Just make sure it is not scheduled near the end of a quarter. 😀
Za Rodinu!
Get those entrenching tools sharpened up
