Warlord Games Bolt Action Afrika Korps Starter Army with Panzer III Tank

The Warlord Games Bolt Action Afrika Korps Starter Army is a comprehensive tabletop wargaming set that allows players to recreate battles from the North African campaign of World War II. This collection represents the German forces under Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, known as the Desert Fox, who fought against British Commonwealth troops in the harsh desert conditions of Libya, Egypt, and Tunisia. The set provides all the necessary components to begin playing the Bolt Action skirmish wargame system in this specific theatre of war. The box contains a substantial force with varied unit types to create a balanced army. The core consists of 36 plastic Afrika Korps infantry figures that can be assembled in various poses and weapon configurations. Heavy support is provided by a detailed plastic Panzer III medium tank, a formidable plastic 8.8cm Flak 37 anti-tank gun with seven metal crew members, a metal medium machine gun (MMG) team, and a metal 81mm medium mortar team. The set also includes assembly and painting guides, unit stat cards for gameplay, full-colour decal sheets for vehicle markings, vehicle damage markers, and plastic bases for all miniatures. All models are supplied unassembled and unpainted, allowing for full customisation. This starter army is ideally suited for newcomers to historical wargaming or Bolt Action who wish to begin with a thematically coherent and mechanically complete force for the Western Desert campaign. It provides a solid foundation for building a larger collection, with enough infantry and support weapons to field a standard-sized platoon right out of the box. The inclusion of the iconic Panzer III and the powerful '88' gun offers both tactical flexibility and historical authenticity. Players will need to assemble and paint the miniatures using modelling tools and paints, which are sold separately, making this a rewarding project for hobbyists interested in World War II history and miniature wargaming.
