Bolt Action: Step into World War II

The core of Bolt Action lies in its innovative order dice system, emphasizing the chaos and unpredictability of warfare. Players take turns drawing order dice from a bag to determine which unit acts next. The color of the die determines the controlling player, and the chosen order dictates what that unit can do - move, fire, advance, rally, ambush, or go down.

The game rules also take into account factors such as the quality of troops, types of weapons, and the use of vehicles, providing a good mix of historical accuracy and streamlined gameplay.

Bolt Action provides a wide array of sets and expansions, offering different armies to command:

Starter Sets: A good starting point is the "Band of Brothers" starter set. It includes American and German forces, providing everything two players need to start battling.

Army Boxes: You can choose from various army boxes that represent the different factions in World War II, like the British Commonwealth, Imperial Japanese, and Soviet Red Army.

Theatre Books: Expansions called "Theatre Books" provide historical contexts for different theaters of war, introducing special rules and units appropriate to those specific conflicts.

Tank War: This expansion allows for tank battles on a larger scale, bringing armored warfare to the forefront of your gaming table.

Bolt Action is designed primarily for two players, but it can be adapted for multiplayer games. The flexibility in the number of players enhances the game's appeal, making it ideal for one-on-one battles or group play.
