US Army (Winter) Starter Army (Pre-Order)

Holding the Allied line in their thick winter clothing, these determined American Infantry are ready to take on the might of the Wehrmacht in the Battle of the Bulge.

This starter army gives you everything you need to field a battle-ready force of US Army troops in winter equipment for games of Bolt Action. At its core is a strong Rifle Platoon with two full-size and one understrength infantry squads, supported by a Medic and led by their Platoon Commander – this flexible formation is perfect for taking and holding objectives, and is the heart of any Bolt Action force.

Backing up the Rifle Platoon is a trio of powerful supporting formations. The Heavy Weapons Platoon provides both direct fire in the form of a brace of Medium Machine Guns, and high-explosive death from on high with its Medium Mortar, while the small but powerful Artillery Platoon gives the force even more Indirect Fire capability with its 105mm Medium Howitzer.

Rounding out the force is the Armoured Platoon, comprising the iconic ‘Easy Eight’ variant of the ubiquitous M4 Sherman, and the M18 Hellcat tank destroyer. These two vehicles are a serious threat to enemy armour with their powerful anti-tank guns, and are sure to make any Panzer commander think twice about a frontal assault!

With these four platoons, you get a great core force that can be used on the tabletop right away, and serve as the basis for a large and versatile collection. The US Army is an incredibly flexible and versatile force in Bolt Action, and can make use of a wide variety of tactics and units – this set is the perfect way to start your collection!
