A Gentleman’s War – New Bolt Action Starter Set Incoming
This new two-player starter focuses on the desert conflict World War II – the British vs. the Afrika Korps.
One of the amazing things about Warlord Games is how many two-player starter sets they have for the Second Edition of Bolt Action. Today you can get your hands on another one with this brand-new starter set called A Gentleman’s War. When I saw news of this new starter set, I kept my eyes on it. Finally, you can actually get your hands on it. That is exciting! Let’s take a look at what all is in there.
What’s In The Box
This starter set comes with two decent starter armies for the Western Desert theatre of World War 2. Specifically, you get miniatures for the British Desert Rats and German Afrika Korps.
So, What All is in A Gentleman’s War?
There is a lot in this box. Here is the list from Warlord Games.
A Gentleman’s War focuses on the action fought across the parched, dusty campaign in the Western Desert during World War II. This Bolt Action starter set pits the forces of the British 8th Army (more commonly known as The Desert Rats) against their Axis foes, the German Deutsche Afrika Korps. Although the fighting in this theatre was intense it tended to lack the fanaticism and atrocities seen in other theatres of the war and became known as a gentleman’s war.
The British Army:
The German Army:
Containing two opposing plastic forces set amongst the conflict across the arid desert war of the North Africa campaign, A Gentleman’s War contains the Bolt Action rulebook as well as a theatre booklet that guides you through your first steps in the game. A Gentleman’s War contains:
- A5 Bolt Action rulebook
- A Gentleman’s War – Bolt Action Starter set booklet
- 24 Afrika Korps plastic infantry
- 1 plastic Sd.Kfz 222/223 armoured car
- 24 8th Army (Desert Rats) plastic infantry
- 1 plastic Humber Mk II/IVarmoured car
- Waterslide decals
- Plastic Bolt Action templates & tokens
- Plastic Pin Markers
- 6-sided Spot dice
- Bolt Action Order dice
That is a lot of content! Personally, I kind of prefer that this starter set comes with more minis and less terrain than Band of Brothers.
