View full detailsBolt Action – Soviet Forces
The Soviet forces in Bolt Action represent one of the largest and most powerful armies of World War II, offering players a force defined by resilience, overwhelming numbers, and flexible battlefield tactics. From the defense of Moscow to the battle of Berlin, the Red Army employed waves of infantry, reliable tanks like the T-34, and fierce partisan resistance to push back the Axis war machine. In Bolt Action, Soviet players benefit from cost-efficient units, strong artillery, and unique national rules that reward aggressive tactics and numerical superiority. Whether you’re building a winter-themed Stalingrad force or a late-war armored battalion, the Soviets offer a deep and rewarding experience for both casual and competitive players.
1. What makes Soviet forces unique in Bolt Action?
Soviet armies are built around the concept of quantity and adaptability. With access to inexpensive infantry squads, powerful tank options, and resilient morale-based rules, the Soviets are excellent for players who enjoy flooding the board with troops while applying pressure through coordinated assaults and supporting fire.
2. What kinds of units do Soviet armies field?
The Soviet army includes conscript infantry, veteran guardsmen, NKVD squads, engineers with flamethrowers, and heavy artillery like the Katyusha rocket launcher. They also have access to a variety of tanks such as the T-34, KV-1, SU-76, and lend-lease vehicles provided by the Allies.
3. How does the Soviet national rule affect gameplay?
The "Quantity Has a Quality All Its Own" rule allows Soviet armies to field free Rifle Squads in certain scenarios, reinforcing their theme of massed infantry. This encourages broad map control and makes it easier to absorb casualties while continuing to pressure opponents tactically.
4. Are Soviet tanks effective?
Yes, Soviet tanks are both effective and versatile. The T-34/76 and T-34/85 are mainstays, offering a solid balance of armor, speed, and firepower. Heavier tanks like the KV-1 provide strong front-line durability, while self-propelled guns add anti-tank or artillery punch depending on your list's needs.
5. Can I build themed Soviet armies for different campaigns?
Absolutely. Bolt Action supports numerous Soviet campaign lists including early-war defenses, partisan uprisings, urban battles like Stalingrad, and late-war offensives into Eastern Europe and Germany. Theater selectors and campaign books provide guidance for building historically themed forces.
6. Are Soviet forces good for new players?
Soviet armies are a great starting point for new players thanks to their forgiving playstyle, durable units, and ability to field many models without being punished for losses. The access to both basic infantry and advanced support weapons makes them versatile and engaging to play.
7. What support weapons are available to the Soviets?
Soviet players can field a wide range of support weapons including medium and heavy mortars, anti-tank rifles, heavy machine guns, sniper teams, flamethrower squads, and multiple rocket launchers. Combined with their large infantry blocks, these weapons provide effective area denial and anti-armor capabilities.
