Bolt Action: German Rattenkrieg Veteran Infantry Starter Army

Product Info:

Prepare for brutal, close-quarters combat with the German Rattenkrieg Veteran Infantry Starter Army, a specialized force for Bolt Action designed to recreate the intense, street-to-street battles of Stalingrad and the Eastern Front. Featuring battle-hardened veteran troops, heavy weapons, and support units, this starter army is ideal for players who want to field a resilient and aggressive German force in their games.

The Rattenkrieg (Rat War) refers to the grueling urban warfare that defined the Battle of Stalingrad, where German and Soviet soldiers fought for control of ruined buildings, shattered streets, and underground tunnels. This elite veteran force is built to reflect the tactics and resilience of German infantry who endured the harshest conditions of the war.

About the Unit:

The Battle of Stalingrad (1942-1943) was one of the most brutal confrontations of World War II, with both sides engaging in ruthless house-to-house combat. The Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS infantry units adapted to the environment by forming small, heavily armed squads, capable of operating in tight spaces, rubble-filled ruins, and industrial zones.

This starter army represents veteran German soldiers, well-equipped with automatic weapons, grenades, and anti-tank devices, reflecting the real-life tactics used in Stalingrad. These units were known for their desperate, last-stand defenses and their ability to push deep into Soviet-held sectors despite heavy casualties.
