Description

Bolt Action is a World War II-themed board game that brings the intensity of war to your tabletop, allowing 2 to 6 players to engage in epic battles that can last up to 120 minutes. Designed by veteran game designers Alessio Cavatore, Rick Priestley, and Warwick Kinrade, this game has been a staple of the wargaming community since its release in 2012. With its normal complexity level, players familiar with board games can easily dive into the action, using miniature soldiers, tanks, and terrain to recreate historic battles in occupied France, North Africa, or the Pacific. In Bolt Action, players have the freedom to choose which major or minor World War II power they want to represent, and then build their armies from a wide range of options. This flexibility allows players to create the kind of army that suits their style of play, making each game unique and exciting. The game mechanics, including action points, chit-pull system, and dice rolling, add a layer of strategy and unpredictability to the gameplay. Whether you're a fan of World War II history or just looking for a challenging and immersive gaming experience, Bolt Action has something to offer, and with its expandable gameplay, including the Dad's Army expansion, you can keep exploring new scenarios and missions.
