Winter Fallschirmjäger Heavy Weapons Platoon

Your essential guide to fielding the forces of Germany in Bolt Action has arrived!

The essential handbook for any Bolt Action player looking to field the forces of the Wehrmacht on the tabletop, Armies of Germany is packed with unit profiles, special rules, and historical background. With this book, you can turn your collection of German miniatures into a deadly fighting force in the world’s greatest World War II wargame, and find plenty of inspiration for new projects!

From the first campaigns in Poland and beyond, through the baking deserts of Africa and frozen tundra of the Eastern Front, to the streets of Berlin itself, Armies of Germany allows you to create Bolt Action forces for any period and engagement of the war, encompassing the whole of the vast German war machine. The new era selection guidelines help you create a truly historical army, while the special rules enable you to tailor your entire force to your chosen theme, be they regular Heer troopers, die-hard Fallschirmjäger paratroopers, and a whole lot more besides!

Special Figure: Accompanying Armies of Germany is the exclusive special figure – Josef “Sepp” Allerberger! A member of the elite Gebirgsjäger mountain troops, Allerberger would become one of Germany’s most lethally effective snipers on the Eastern Front. This figure depicts Allerberger lining up to take a shot. His shooting stance is right out of the Wehrmacht’s sniper school textbook, and his portable camouflage screen – both lightweight and effective – is cunningly made out of an umbrella frame and foliage!

Dressed in the specialist uniform of the Gebirgsjäger, and wearing the Edelweiss flower badge with pride in his cap, Sepp Allerberger is a fantastic choice to represent part of a Sniper Team in one of your German Rifle Platoons – with him on the table, none of your opponents’ officers are safe!
