28mm Scale

Hitler was confident of a short campaign as his German army crashed over the Russian border in 1941. Heroic defence by the massive Soviet armies slowed the Nazi advance. The brave, solid, and loyal Soviet soldiers endured dreadful battle conditions and their equipment was unsophisticated but functional, much like the troops themselves. What they lacked in quality they made up for the sheer numbers in their troops and equipment available to them - as Josef Stalin famously said "Quantity has a quality all of its own."

This starter army for Bolt Action contains enough troops to make a sizeable starter army for the defence of the Motherland in the bitter winter that beset the Eastern Front. The bitter fighting in Finland had taught some hard lessons to the Red Army where thousands of their men fell victim to frostbite. The cold weather kit later issued was warm and comfortable, frequently padded or quilted, and was much envied by the German troops shivering in thin overcoats.

Great Value

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Fantastic starter set, and one of my favorites for Bolt Action. You get 1 tank, but it can actually be built as two tanks (as the KV-1 and KV-2 use the same chassis, and the only difference between them is the turret, which you can build both. So you can swap out which tank you want to use as needed), so that helps with giving you options. You also get the standard support teams, and while you don't get an additional vehicle or artillery piece, you do get 84 (including characters) infantry, so you have a looooot of options for what you want to run. And since Soviets tend to be infantry-heavy anyway, this works out. Really good value, lots of options - highly recommend

Awesome army box

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

You can make a rather decent 1000 pt army right out of the box with this set. There is more than enough infantry for a reinforced platoon and solid support elements. The KV1/KV2 is fun to play with!

A Good Start

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

A great starter set, with decent models. The KV chassis has a bunch of in game options, as well as 2 different turrets to choose from. This does not come with a rulebook, dice, or order dice, which are highly recommended to have to play.
