One of the Starter Sets for the last edition of Bolt Action has now been re-released by Warlord Games for use with the Third Edition of the game. You can dive back into A Gentleman's War and play out a World War II clash between the 8th Army and Afrika Korps in North Africa.

Inside the set, you'll find a collection of plastic miniatures representing the British 8th Army and the Afrika Korps veterans, as well as two armoured cars to provide support on the battlefield. You will also get a double-sided battle mat and some MDF terrain, which helps to set the stage.

As well as the box containing the Third Edition Rulebook for Bolt Action, you'll also find a QR code which gives you a download for the Bolt Action Field Manual. This takes you through your introductory steps into the hobby, as well as a series of fun, simple, starting missions for you to play so you can understand the mechanics of Bolt Action.

You will also get the Ruined North African House (MDF), Bolt Action Order Dice, a Dice Bag, Double-Sided Gaming Mat, Pin Markers & Templates and then finally, ten six-sided Dice.
