About this expansion

Bolt Action: Armies of Germany is a 2012 army book expansion for 2–4 players, with a listed play time of 180 minutes, providing the information needed to game the military forces of Germany.

Detailed army lists let players construct German armies for any theatre and any year of the war. This broad scope supports forces drawn from the early campaigns in Poland and France, the tank war in the North African desert, the battles of the Eastern Front, and the final defence of Normandy, occupied France, and Germany itself.

With dozens of different unit types, the expansion offers a wide range of troops and equipment for German army building. Players can assemble forces featuring distinctive units and formidable vehicles, then take those armies into battle against their opponents.

  • Fallschirmjager for airborne German forces
  • Waffen-SS units
  • The dreaded Tiger tank
  • Army options spanning multiple theatres and years of the war

From the opening campaigns in Poland and France to the dusty fighting of North Africa and the bloody Eastern Front, the army lists cover a wide variety of wartime settings. They also reach the conflict’s final stages, including Normandy, occupied France, and Germany itself.

For players looking to command German forces in Bolt Action, Armies of Germany brings together the options required to create varied armies for different periods and battlefields. Its extensive selection of units allows opponents to face a broad range of German formations, from Fallschirmjager and Waffen-SS to the iconic Tiger tank.
