About the Game

Bolt Action adapts the award-winning Warlord Games tabletop ruleset into a stunning, demanding digital theatre of war, where the difference between victory and rout is a single, calculated decision. 

Players wage war from the beaches of Normandy to the brutal, fortified hedgerows of Northern France. Forces are always in motion, but total domination hinges on an attentive tactical mindset.

Forged straight from the tabletop, every army marches into battle with its own unmistakable design. From elite squads to war machines, players can shape their forces using the Army Painter to personalize their forces’ look and feel while staying true to their faction’s battle spirit.

Core mechanics like Morale, Line of Sight, and Pinning deliver a faithful yet expanded digital experience that captures the intensity and unpredictability of the battlefield. Every order, maneuver, and engagement tests tactical skill and careful planning.

  • WWII setting - Command troops from the beaches of Normandy to the fortified towns and hedgerows beyond.

  • Tabletop tactical systems reimagined for PC - Order Points, Morale, Cover, and Line of Sight drive every engagement.

  • Uniquely designed units - Lead U.S., British, or German forces with distinctive unit design.

  • Army painter - Customize squads, weapons, and vehicles for a personal touch.

  • Dynamic single-player campaign - Progress through connected missions with evolving objectives.

  • Replayable skirmish battles - Randomized initiative and varied conditions keep skirmishes fresh.

  • Multiplayer - Test tactical skill in competitive online battles and ranked matches.
