Bolt Action: Rattenkrieg – German Veteran Infantry Starter Army

Get ready for close-quarters battle with this amazingly versatile starter army!

Perfect for fighting in the ruined cities of World War II, these hard-bitten veteran German troopers are packed with specialist equipment and ready to do battle!

This starter army gives you everything you need to field a battle-ready force of German veterans for games of Bolt Action. Based around a Rifle Platoon of two Heer Infantry squads, supported by an Anti-Tank Rifle team, which can take and hold objectives and provides a strong core to the army, it packs a significant punch with its specialist supporting platoons. It’s also accompanied by a Medic, whose intervention can keep your troops in the fight when the going gets tough.

The first of these is the Heavy Weapons Platoon, providing the force with strong anti-infantry firepower courtesy of a brace of Medium Machine Guns and a Medium Mortar. Ideal for creating defensive strongpoints and supporting your attacks, it’s a great counterpoint to the small but powerful Engineer Platoon. Made up of a pair of Pionier squads, each outfitted for short-range fighting and packing a lethal flamethrower, plus a separate Flamethrower Team, this platoon looks to get up close and personal, burning enemies out of their positions!

Finally, there’s the Armoured Platoon, bringing both wheels and tracks to the battlefield. The Sd.Kfz 223 command armoured car has excellent mobility, and leads the way for the powerful Panzer IV with its deadly and efficient short-barrelled howitzer!

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. Ideal for an army themed around the bitter fighting at Stalingrad, this force can be built in numerous different ways to represent dozens of units, and is the perfect way to start your collection!
