Bolt Action Band Of Brothers Set Gets 3rd Edition Update

March 24, 2025 by brennon

Warlord Games has given the Band Of Brothers Starter Set for Bolt Action a third edition upgrade. This means that if you're looking to dive into some 28mm World War II action on the tabletop, you've got another option apart from the Battle Of The Bulge set that they launched the edition with.

This set provides you with a decent starting point for leaping into Bolt Action with a handful of troops per side. On the one hand, you have the US Airborne (your Band Of Brothers!) who are going to be battling against the German Grenadiers.

There are two sets of twelve miniatures between the two sides. You also have the German Sd.Kfz 251/1 Half-Track and the US M3A1 Half-Track so you've got some extra support during your skirmishes as you're pushing deeper into German-held territory in the days and weeks after D-Day.

The set also comes with an A5 Bolt Action: Third Edition Rulebook as well as the Band Of Brothers Field Manual that will get you started with your games of Bolt Action. There are also all the Order Dice you need, a dice bag, a double-sided paper gaming mat, pin markers and templates plus your regular dice.

You'll also note that the classic Ruined Farmhouse is back again! You just cannot get rid of that terrain set. I think it has become a meme at this point. Anyway, for those looking to dive into Bolt Action but with a Band Of Brothers focus, this Starter Set has now been updated and reworked for the Third Edition of the game.

It would be very cool if Warlord Games gave the same treatment to their other Starter Sets like A Gentlemen's War and Island Assault, offering up a new introduction to the game via various avenues.

Could you be tempted to use this as your way into Bolt Action?
