Great videos, thanks!, I have want'ed to start, but didn't know how, now I do.
The starter set then came with everything you needed to have a simple game, INCLUDING A REFERENCE SHEET!!!
... it doesn't do that any more. You could learn the game in 30 mins ... you can't do that any more either!
If only I had other players near me, I would give Bolt Action a try!
The first question people always ask me, “What army should I get?”
I can’t stress it enough, “The one you like!”
I say choose your theatre, choose your force and the joy will follow.
Thanks for the reference sheet. (I’ve clicked on the link you’ve provided to others.)
