By the latter half of the Second World War the British Army had brought its combined arms approach to warfare to a perfect pitch. Meticulous planning and overwhelming firepower made it an efficient fighting force, and one that could achieve its objectives while minimising casualties. From the discipline of the Guards, the ferocity of the Black watch to the elan of the Yeomanry, regiments from all corners of the country fought with distinction. The Canadians used British equipment but had their own character and their own famous regiments, including the Royal Winnipeg Rifles, the Calgary Highlanders and the Sherbrooke Fusiliers.

This Starter Army allows you to field a fully legal British or Canadian force for Bolt Action: Third Edition - entirely in plastic! With 36 infantry armed with rifles, light machine guns, light mortars and PIATs, forming a Rifle Platoon, backed up by the mortar teams and machine guns of the Heavy Weapons Platoon, you’ve got a flexible core of troops ready for any tactical challenge. Supporting them is an Armoured Platoon composed of a Cromwell medium tank and a Humber armoured car for scouting the battlefield, with a 6-pounder medium anti-tank gun in an Artillery Platoon providing still more firepower. The artillery and heavy weapon crew, 16 in all, are fully interchangeable with the infantry.

Able to be built and customised to an incredible degree, or built and played straight out of the box, For King & Country is the perfect way to start a new Bolt Action force.

Includes British and Canadian decals.
