Start your island-hopping campaign and make ready to wage World War II on your tabletop!
The battles of World War Two ravaged the entire world. Where the Band of Brothers starter set is very much concerned with the European Theatre in the wake of D-Day, Island Assault! shifts focus to the Pacific, pitting the United States Marine Corps against Japanese Island defenders in some of the most brutal and hard-fought battles of the War.
Island Assault! is one of the best ways to jump into Bolt Action, whether you're a newcomer to wargaming or a hardened veteran of many a tabletop campaign. Inside this box you'll find two opposing forces in highly detailed plastic. Twelve infantrymen of the United States Marines Corps (USMC) supported by an M3A1 half-track face off against twelve Japanese infantrymen and the threat of a Chi-Ha tank. Also included is a double-sided battle mat, and MDF scenery themed to the theatre to set the scene.
In the box, you’ll find a QR code. Simply scan it, and it will take you to the Bolt Action website, where you’ll find a free downloadable Bolt Action Field Manual. This incredibly useful document takes you through every stage of the hobby with simple, easy-to-follow instructions. Learn how to build your new models, then take them straight into the action! Through a series of fun, introductory missions, you’ll familiarise yourself with the key mechanics of Bolt Action. In no time at all, you’ll be leading your forces into battle!
Once you’ve played through the introductory missions, you’ll be ready to dive into the full A5 Bolt Action rulebook in the set, and from there the possibilities are endless!
