Warlord Take Bolt Action’s Battle To France With Upcoming Supplement
August 20, 2018 by brennon
Warlord Games has another campaign supplement waiting in the wings for Bolt Action. The Battle Of France is on the horizon so if the sandy deserts aren't for you there's much more to look forward to.
Here's what is going to be included in the book...
"The Battle of France saw German forces sweep across the Low Countries and towards Paris, crushing Allied resistance in just six weeks. From Fall Gelb and the British withdrawal from Dunkirk to the decisive Fall Rot, this new supplement for Bolt Action allows players to take command of the bitter fighting for France, and to refight the key battles of this campaign. Linked scenarios and new rules, troop types, and Theatre Selectors offer plenty of options for novice and veteran players alike."
This sounds fascinating and opens up another interesting theatre of war. These campaigns are something we need to see more of as they help us tell that narrative of war as well as just fight out those epic moments between armies.
What do you think?
"This sounds fascinating and opens up another interesting theatre of war..."
does this cover the Italian French attack?
ooh, never seen that on the tabletop before – interesting history though!
My thoughts exactly mate!
Could this mean plastic French and BEF (would like them to redo the early Germans with arms connected to weapons like the later releases, but the first two are a possibility)?
Looks good to me. This is where I’d like to get into this game.
Glad to get the love. I have a 1940 French army and a new supplement is very welcome. I’m guessing new scenarios and hoping for some unique units / unique rules. What i like best about this period is there there is more balance between armor and infantry than one finds in the later war years. Both type units have strengts and weaknesses which avoids one type dominating the game or forcing a must have to make the army work. For me this is welcome news, thanks.
This is going to be nice addition.
At last one where I dont have to buy anything, Got British BEF force in 28mm
Looking forward to this one.
I kind of hope it includes bits of the fighting in the Netherlands and Belgium.
IIRC there were supposed to be French units assisting near Zeeland, but we kind of got overrun before they got there.
Keeping in mind it’s 5 days at best it’s not a lot.
