Backed by unmatched logistical support, the US Army grew rapidly to become the most mobile and tactically flexible fighting force the world had ever witnessed. Well supplied and well led, the US infantryman, the famous GI, was confident of success in any theatre in which he fought.

This Starter Army allows you to field a fully legal US Army force for Bolt Action: Third Edition, entirely in plastic! With 36 infantry armed with rifles, carbines, submachine guns, automatic rifles, and bazookas, forming a Rifle Platoon, backed up by the mortar teams and machine guns of the Heavy Weapons Platoon, you have a flexible core of troops ready for any tactical challenge.

Supporting them is an Armoured Platoon composed of the ubiquitous Sherman tank and an M8 armoured car, which can also be assembled as an M20 scout car. A 57mm medium anti-tank gun in an Artillery Platoon provides still more firepower. The artillery and heavy weapon crews, 16 models in all, are fully interchangeable with the infantry.

Able to be customised to an incredible degree, or built and played straight out of the box, Stars and Stripes is the perfect way to start a new Bolt Action force.
