Bolt Action: Third Edition
A refined World War II platoon-level miniatures wargame that uses an Order Dice system to resolve actions. Players command squads, heavy weapons and vehicles, issuing orders and resolving movement, shooting and close combat across variable scenarios. The rulebook includes updated core rules, starter army lists for major wartime powers, a platoon-selection system, scenario generation tools, optional special rules and quick-reference tables to support pickup games and campaign play.
