How It Plays

Chit-Pull System

Tokens are drawn randomly from a pool to determine who acts next — it adds suspense to every round.

Dice Rolling

You roll dice to determine outcomes — there's always that thrilling moment of suspense before they land!

Line of Sight

Your units can only interact with what they can directly see on the board — positioning matters a lot.

Measurement Movement

You physically measure distances to move pieces — grab a ruler and get precise with your positioning!

Scenario / Mission / Campaign Game

You play through linked missions or scenarios that build on each other — it's like an epic adventure in chapters.

About This Game

With this Bolt Action supplement players can now build armies for British and Commonwealth troops such as the Australians, New Zealanders, Canadians, Polish Airborne, and Gurkha's. From the early campaigns in Europe to the deserts of North Africa, and the jungles of the South Pacific and the Far East, British Commonwealth forces faced the Axis threat.
