US Army (Winter) Starter Army

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

This starter army contains everything you need to field a battle-ready force of US Army (Winter) troops for games of Bolt Action. At its core is a strong Rifle Platoon featuring two full-strength 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.

Supporting the Rifle Platoon are a trio of strong support formations. The Heavy Weapons Platoon provides both direct fire in the form of a pair of Medium Machine Guns, and high-explosive death from above with its Medium Mortar, whilst the small-but-mighty Artillery Section gives the force even more indirect fire capability with its Medium 105mm Howitzer.

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

These four platoons give you a great core force that’s ready for the tabletop right out of the box and forms the foundation for a large and versatile collection. The US Army is an incredibly flexible and versatile force in Bolt Action, able to field a wide variety of tactics and units – this set is the perfect launchpad for your collection!
