1 Armies of Germany 2nd Edition 4 Army Special Rules Armies of Germany 2nd Edition' is a?supplement for our award winning tabletop wargame Bolt?Action, and deals with the German Army of World?War II. Within you will find background and details of the?German Army’s organisation and equipment from the?beginning of the war (the invasion of Poland in 1939) to?the very end (the fall of Berlin in?1945). Central to this book is its?Army List. This includes all the?information you will need to play?games using the German Army. This?large list details all the main troop?types, vehicles and equipment?fielded by the Germany Army during?World War II. Alongside this main list are a number of Theatre Selectors, which?give the force details for different?periods and theatres of the war. These are not definitive, but are designed to give a?theatre-specific flavour and character to a force. Over six years of fighting?the German Army changed a lot, and many units and?vehicles that were common in 1939 were obsolete by?1945 - and there were countless oddities and exceptions on every front. These sub-lists allow players to select forces?suitable for the theatre in which they are playing. What's New? We've taken the opportunity to include additional units and options, we've revised a few points costs here-and-there, and made some more changes to bring the book more in-line with the rest of the range... here's a teaser of what you'll find inside... Army Special Rules German forces now have FOUR Army Special Rules - some of which you'll be familiar with, some you won't... Blitzkrieg ?-? German officers were expected to act on initiative and take?decisions on the field based on their judgement rather than wait?for orders or confirmation from HQ. This made them very?effective tactical commanders and made the Wehrmacht a?formidably reactive force. This offers a bonus for German officers when they use the ?'‘You? men, snap to action’'? Special Rule, giving them more influence.? Initiative Training ?-? Even at squad level, in the German army every man is trained?with some of the skills of his superiors, and encouraged to show?initiative and decisiveness rather than just sit and wait to?receive orders. This Rule provides a little relief if squad leaders are KIA - as other squad members may adopt their roles... Hitler's Buzzsaw ?- ? German-made machine guns, but in particular the lethal?MG42, are vastly superior to their enemies’ and rightly feared?by Allied infantrymen. Carried over?from the First Edition book, this rule combines with the MG boost brought-in with the Second Edition rules - making German MGs even more lethal...! Tiger Fear ?-? Such was the lethal reputation of Tiger tanks, that often Allied?troops were spooked by the appearance of any German heavy?armour, mistakenly thinking that any Panzer IV was a Tiger?waiting in ambush! Any vehicle with the 'Tiger Fear' rule conveys a negative modifier to any enemy unit within line of sight's Morale...? New Units ?- We've also compiled the German Additional Units and Special Rules which we published elsewhere (in other books, and/or online) into the book - including the likes of Night Fighting Units, and more! Couple all of this with tactical notes, invaluable historical background text, gorgeous artwork and reference imagery from the masterful Peter Dennis and Osprey Publishing, and Armies of Germany 2nd Edition is the must-have Bolt Action book for all German generals out in the field!
The new plastic kit for the British and Canadians is fantastically detailed and allows for myriad customization options. Our customer service boffins worked out that there are a possible 396 variations that can be made BEFORE the consideration of optional heads and additional accessories such as maps, waving arms and binoculars. The new kit is packed with optional extras, with head options for steel helmets, assault helmets and Tam o’shanter caps (for Scottish or Canadian troops), as well as weapons including: Lee Enfield No 4 rifle, Bren light machine gun, Sten sub-machine gun, 2-inch light mortar, PIAT anti-tank projector, Webley service revolver and Mills Bombs, additional accessories and command options. A British infantry squad was referred to as a section. It normally consisted of ten men and was divided into a separate rifle group and Bren group. Each section was led by a corporal armed with a rifle or pistol and included a lance corporal who was in charge of the Bren group. All the section members apart from the corporal carried ammunition for the Bren – 700 rounds in 25 magazines in all. In addition, all men carried grenades. As the war progressed, additional weaponry was acquired. The section leader and/or second in command would be issued with Thompson or Sten submachine guns (though these were sometimes quietly ‘lost’ to avoid making themselves obvious targets for snipers). Late in the war a second Bren was added to many Veteran sections, whether this was officially part of their issue or not. Canadian infantry sections were organised in the same way as their British counterparts. From 1943–45, due to the Canadian practice of employing MMGs and HMGs on Universal Carriers, spare Bren guns also became available to some infantry sections. All three Canadian infantry divisions were trained to conduct amphibious landing operations. Canadians participated in landings at Dieppe, Sicily, Italy, Normandy, the Breskens Pocket and the Rhine crossing. 3rd Canadian Infantry Division conducted so many amphibious assaults they earned the nickname ‘The Water Rats’ from Field Marshal Montgomery.

Infantry weapons teams are a key component of any Bolt Action army, providing as they do great tactical flexibility for your force. Sniper teams, anti-tank teams and flamethrower teams are among the most prevalent, presenting your opponent with multiple challenges to overcome. British forces were armed with 2-inch mortar for close support purposes. Two men were needed to operate it. An NCO was responsible for carrying and firing the weapon while the other carried ammunition. Weighing less than 11Ibs and offering an effective range of 500 yards, these mortars were quick to manoeuvre and deploy as needed. Snipers were armed with a SMLE No.4 Rifle equipped with a No.32 Mk.1 telescopic sight. The team carried fifty rounds of ammunition, five tracer round and fiver-armour-piercing rounds. Two No.36 Mills bombs or two No.77 smoke grenades were also carried, along with binoculars and a camouflage net. The portable flamethrower available to British forces was the Ack Pack. At a weight of 64Ibs, the Ack Packs could be carried and operated by one man. Fully loaded, the Ack Pack was capable of ten bursts each of a two second duration. With a range of fifty yards it was a truly fearsome weapon that excelled in clearing bunkers and buildings. Contains the following Warlord Resin Plus‚Ñ¢ figures: 2-man Light Mortar team 2-man Sniper team 2-man Flamethrower team These figures are cast in our new and improved Warlord Resin Plus‚Ñ¢.

Use the New Bolt Action British Commonwealth plastic infantry, based on the 8th army plastic with heads to represent Australian, South African, New Zealander and LRDG/SAS troops, to stop the Axis forces in their tracks and defeat the Desert Fox himself, Erwin Rommel. Fighting for the freedom of the civilised world against the twin fascist threats of Mussolini’s Italy and Hitler’s Germany, the brave men of the British Commonwealth were a multi-national force from Great Britain, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Canada and other far-flung corners of the world. The British Commonwealth infantryman was a fearsome opponent whether facing the German Afrika Korps or the Italian Army, whether it be in the parched desert of North Africa or in beautiful yet rugged terrain Italy. This box of highly detailed plastic miniatures allows you to build slouch-hatted Australians, South Africans wearing sun helmets or the men of the Long Range Desert Group, Special Air Service and Special Boat Service. The special forces of the LRDG, SAS and SBS were an eclectic mix of largely non-conformist characters as befits the vital roles they played in the war. As such their attire was a mix of that of their parent unit, national pride or personal preference! This set is ideal to mix with our plastic 8th Army set with the tin helmets, Scottish Tam-o’shanters and Indian headgear creating a truly unique army on the tabletop! Contains: Enough plastic components to make: 30 British Commonwealth miniatures. Includes a host of options to allow for different weapon configurations and command models. Equipment included: Lee Enfield rifle, Thompson submachine gun, Bren gun LMG, Boys anti-tank rifle, Webley pistol and 2-inch mortar Plastic bases. Construction leaflet. Optional Australian, South African, New Zealander and LRDG/SAS heads. Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
402018005 Produced by Fiat Ansaldo, the?M13/40?was the main battle tank of the Italian army in World War II and served throughout the war following its introduction in 1940. Although designated as a medium tank it was more in line with the light tanks of other nations at the time. With armour up to 42mm thick, and armed with a 47mm main gun backed up by up to four 8mm machine guns, it carried a four-man crew. Its diesel engine, whilst underpowered, giving a top speed of around 20mph, was less vulnerable to catching fire and had better range than petrol-fuelled vehicles. The most widely produced Italian tank of the war, the M13/40 battled on in the Western Desert and Italy despite Allied tanks far eclipsing it in firepower, speed and protection. This superb plastic kit can alternatively be assembled as a?Semovente tank.?The Semovente 75/18 self-propelled gun brings some much needed armoured reinforcements to Italian forces. The Semovente was an Italian self-propelled gun, built by mounting the 75mm Obice da 75/18 modello 34 mountain gun on the chassis of a M13/40 or M14/41 tank. It had riveted steel plates, which were thicker but also less sloped than in the original tank. Frontal armour was almost vertical, but it consisted of two plates rather than a single layer, which improved stopping power. You may think these tanks may only be for Italian Bolt Action armies, but you’d be dead wrong. Captured examples of the M13 were used by the Australians at Tobruk and the Germans were known to use Semoventes. The kit has you covered, including a decal sheet with Italian army, German army and Australian Army markings. Contains 1 plastic tank Models supplied unassembled and unpainted
