Hold The Line! - French Starter Army

This item is expected to launch around the end of November, so order yours now and be the first to command the battlefield!

The infamous Foreign Legion provided Free French forces in the North African campaign with a source of extremely tough, highly motivated, and disciplined troops, who had extensive experience campaigning in desert climes - perfect for the task at hand. The Legionnaires of the 13th Demi-Brigade exemplified this by their legendary action at Bir Hakeim in 1942, where some 3,700 men faced down five Axis divisions for two weeks.

This Starter Army allows you to field a fully legal French Foreign Legion force for Bolt Action: Third Edition - entirely in plastic! With 42 infantry forming a large Rifle Platoon, and fire support provided by the plentiful mortar teams and machine guns of the Heavy Weapons Platoon, you’ve got a core of die-hard infantrymen who excel at holding defensive positions or closing with the enemy. Although this is an all-infantry force, it boasts excellent firepower, which is further bolstered by a pair of light howitzers - iconic ‘French 75s’ - in the Artillery Platoon, making approaching these Legionnaires a dangerous proposition for the enemy.

Able to be built and customised to an incredible degree, or built and played straight out of the box, Hold the Line! is the perfect way to start a new Bolt Action force.
