They'll Always Be An England: Operation Sea Lion

"The year is 1940, and the German invasion of Britain has begun. With this new campaign book for Bolt Action, players can fight the battles of World War II's greatest 'what if' scenario. Defend the cliffs of Dover and the beaches of Kent from wave after wave of German landing craft. Parachute into the Home Counties in a surgical strike to capture Winston Churchill. Rally the Home Guard in a last, desperate attempt to keep England free of the Nazi invaders! Containing new rules, scenarios, and unit types covering all of the unique features of this alternate history campaign, it offers a chance for all Bolt Action players to truly rewrite the history of World War II."

The Campaign Sea Lion supplement for Bolt Action is finished and at the printers. It is on target for the May 18th release date: see link on sidebar.

I am very pleased with this one: it has new vehicles....

It has new armies.

As well as new rules for some much loved old ones.

In fact there are lots of new armies and rules. We have really let ourselves go. The VBCW crowd who use Bolt Action are going to find much useful 'stuff'' here.

Bolt Action as its never been before.

New scenarios, new types of scenarios, new types of vehicles, new characters................And lots of new models to grace your wargame tables.

    This looks amazing. I remember touring Dover Castle back in the early '90s and visiting the WWII era military network beneath it. One couldn't help but conjure up "what if" images and scenarios. And with this book we just might be able to finally play with those ideas. Thanks for this one!

      Living on the Kent coast is convenient for this.

    Is that a Boulton Paul Defiant turret I see before me?

      Good spot, looks like it. I do hope they release a Sir Winston with a tommy gun! And a Capt Mainwaring - Don't Panic! Don't Panic!

      They already have a dads army set and the winston churchill with tommy gun was supposed to be the open day figure, but the open day never happened so assume the figure will be the free one with this book

      You can get the Walmington on Sea platoon from warlord Games in both LDV and Home Guard miniatures.

      I understand that Sir Winston is in the starting blocks.
