Bolt Action: Italian Paracadutisti Support Group

WORLD WAR II WARGAMING. From Blitzkrieg to North Africa; from the Russian Front to the D-Day Landings; Bolt Action puts YOU in command of the most brutal and famous battles of the Second World War. Assemble and paint your brave men and armoured tanks; field them on a table-top battlefield; and use all your strategy; cunning and luck to defeat your opponent.

Led by tough; experienced officers; the Italian paratroopers were a well-respected foe – during the battle of El Alamein troops of the Folgore (Lightning) Division repelled the British attacks for weeks. The Folgore fought until expending their last round of ammunition; taking out British tanks with near suicidal close quarters attacks and choosing bayonet charges over raising the white flag; such was their elan.

Like their Regio Esercito (Royal Italian Army) counterparts; the airborne divisions relied heavily on the Breda 37 medium machine gun and the Mortaio da 81/14 Modello 35 81mm mortar for close fire support.
