  Belgium & Poland

  The initial Belgian defence proved the mettle of the Belgian Army, but they struggled to match the evolving tactics of the ever encroaching Wehrmacht in the early stages of the war.
  
  Despite facing the double invasion of their homeland in 1939 by both Germany and the Soviet Union, the vastly outnumbered Polish military fought with bravery and tenacity. The Polish army in 1939 was large, well-officered and relatively well-equipped.

  Britain

  With the support and supplies shipped in from the USA via the U-Boat-terrorised Atlantic convoys, forces of the British army - with their Cromwells, Churchills, and Sherman Fireflies stormed across the English Channel and upon the beaches of Normandy - while (in the hours before the landings) the Red Devils of the British Airborne had parachuted their way behind enemy lines to capture key objectives which would pave the way for the liberating Allied forces to then sweep back across Europe. That's not to mention the Commonwealth troops of Africa, Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and South Africa who shared much of the same equipment - and fought throughout Europe, Africa, the Far East and beyond - meaning that these models from the Bolt Action range cover a vast swathe of the Second World War.

  France

  Declaring war on Germany in 1939, the French armed forces were superior to the Germans in tanks and ships but suffered from outdated tactical and strategic doctrine at the highest level. 
  Germany's occupation of France was resisted by the Maquis - the famous French Resistance. Led by ex-officers or charismatic local leaders, these brave men and women fought desperate guerilla actions which were pivotal in disrupting German forces during the Battle for Normandy. The members of the French Resistance risked everything for a chance to fight back against their Nazi oppressors.

  Soviet

  In 1939, the Soviets signed a non-aggression pact with Germany - and the two nations proceeded to bring much of Eastern Europe under their control. However, when German forces invaded Russia in June 1941, the pact was shattered and the Soviets declared war against Germany - changing the landscape of the Second World War dramatically. With the weight of the tireless Soviet industry behind them, the Soviet forces used wave after wave of infantry and armour to exhaust the enemy. T34 tanks were produced in vast numbers, outnumbering the German Panzers upon the battlefields of Kursk - with fire support coming in the form of Maxim Machine Guns, and even the improvised Molotov cocktail which cause fear and panic during the room-to-room urban fighting in the city of Stalingrad.

  United States

  Entering the war after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States immediately went to war on several fronts. In Europe and Africa, American troops battled against the Germans and Italians, while in the Pacific they faced the forces of Imperial Japan. Featuring Sherman tanks, GIs, Marines and paratroopers, Warlord’s range has everything you need to field a US force for Bolt Action - the historical 28mm World War II wargame.
