LET'S START WITH WHAT YOU WILL GET!
From a starter player's perspective, it is imperative to know the core parts of the game. It is excellent that Warlord Company provides rule books when you buy this bundle so that you will not spend extra money on it. On the other hand, the former players who have been a fan of playing Warlord Games, of course, come to buy the box set for the miniatures, and the book may be an added reference.
- 1 Pillbox and 2 Spider Holes (exclusive to this set) act as a specific scenario terrain. If you are trying to fill out a table, it can act as an additional accent to the gameplay. To simplify, it is a niche item that can come into great use in the Pacific Theatre. Another great bonus in the bundle box!. More importantly, it will come in handy if you are planning on playing the campaign books. Moreover, it can be a terrific set-up for attack and defense circumstances.
- Pin Marker Sprue and Template Sprue can come in handy in marking artillery and other vital things in the game. Always needed and convenient to get them as part of the bundle.
- The box set also comes with six order dice for each faction! Which is a total of 12 order dice. These two separate sets of dice are similar enough in color, so you may probably combine them. Go to your local gaming club and play a whole game of Bolt Action with different players.
- Also has a regular D6-die that can be handy for the players who are just getting into the game for the first time or for those who will buy their first box of miniatures ever to open. However, it may not be enough in terms of quantity.
All of these pieces are available in the basic version of Island Assault! box set, and it costs around $160CAD*. Save 15% off by buying through us at Tistaminis! (Regular Retail Price of $187CAD*).

- The United States Marines Infantry Box Set that is adjusted due to the number of sprues that you will be getting can be bought at a price of $48CAD*.

After all, it would not be a starter set without having one.
