There are already rules for reinforcements coming in later in the game in Bolt Action, but again that’s still within the confines of the points in the game. One of the key mechanics of Bolt Action is pinning, where a unit takes hits and becomes less effective rather than just killing them – They don’t get wiped out and leave the table as such just hunker down under fire. If you’re planning on massed reinforcements you’re just going to have a traffic jam of units on the table edge. I don’t think the 28mm scale and mechanics will really suit what you’re looking for in terms of sizes of engagements
As @piers says above, find a system that suits your space rather than trying to force everything in, but for me I’d be looking more at Flames of War with 15mm as opposed to 28mm.
