Bolt Action

From the cities of Europe, through to the deserts of North Africa or the islands of the Pacific, Bolt Action puts you in command of the most brutal and famous battles of the Second World War.

Using its innovative order system that replicates the challenges faced by commanders on the battlefield, Bolt Action is fast paced and exciting, and is suitable for veteran wargamers and newcomers alike, with a range of starter sets and complete armies to get your collections off the ground.

Here you’ll find the iconic units of all the major combatants - from famous tanks like the Tiger, T-34 and Sherman to infantry units equipped to fight in all the theatres and environments of WWII from winter snows to jungle or desert heat, and a depth of units to satisfy the most specialised of interests.

The Bolt Action miniatures are detailed and dynamic, yet easy to assemble, making it the most accessible historical wargame available. For ways to get started in Bolt Action click here.
