BRITISH & INTER-ALLIED COMMANDOS

Bolt Action - From Hobby Heaven ๐Ÿ†

๐Ÿ“œ "UNITED WE CONQUER"

The dark days of 1940. As Nazi forces swept across Europe, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill demanded a new type of warrior to take the fight back to the enemy. "I want specially trained troops of the hunter class," he ordered, "who can develop a reign of terror down the enemy coast." From this directive, the legendary Commandos were born. Taking their name from the Boer War's Kommandos, these volunteers came from across the British Army, Royal Marines, and later, from occupied nations like France, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, and Poland. They formed elite strike forces that would hit hard and fade away, sowing confusion and fear in their wake. Training was brutal and relentlessโ€”only the most determined survived the grueling regimen of speed marches, weapons training, cliff climbing, and amphibious landings. Their battle cry became "Speed, Aggression, Surprise" as they perfected the art of the raid. From Norway to Madagascar, from Sicily to Burma, Commandos struck at the Nazi war machine with audacious raids like Operation Chariot at St Nazaireโ€”where they rammed an explosive-laden destroyer into the only dry dock capable of servicing the German battleship Tirpitz. As the tide of war turned, Commandos were often the first to land on enemy shores, as at Dieppe and Normandy, clearing obstacles and neutralizing defenses for the main invasion forces. Their distinctive green berets and fighting knives became symbols of elite warriors who would accept nothing less than victory, whatever the odds. The legacy of these exceptional fighting men lives on today in special forces units around the world. Now you can command these legendary warriors on your Bolt Action battlefield! ๐Ÿ”ช๐Ÿงฉโš”๏ธ

๐ŸŽฎ Gameplay Tips

๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Raid Tactics

Commandos excel at fast-moving, decisive strikes. Use their superior mobility and fighting skills to hit high-value targets quickly. In Bolt Action, their Veteran status means they're more reliable under orders and more deadly in combat. Equip them with plenty of SMGs for close-quarter fighting and focus on objectives rather than extended firefights. Remember their motto: "Speed, Aggression, Surprise" - get in, complete the mission, and extract before the enemy can respond in force.

๐Ÿ” Force Organization

While Commandos are elite troops, they're also expensive in points. Build your force with specific objectives in mind rather than general battle line duties. A typical Commando section might include 8-10 men with a higher proportion of automatic weapons than regular infantry. Consider adding a forward observer for naval gunfire support during coastal raids, or demolition experts with extra explosives for sabotage missions. Small, specialized teams will maximize the effectiveness of these elite troops.

๐Ÿ† Historical Scenarios

Operation Chariot: St Nazaire Raid (March 1942)

Recreate the daring raid on the heavily defended St Nazaire dock facilities, where Commandos destroyed the only dry dock on the Atlantic coast capable of servicing the German battleship Tirpitz.

D-Day Landings (June 1944)

Field Commandos as they spearheaded the Normandy landings, securing beach exits and neutralizing key defensive positions ahead of the main invasion forces.

Operation Frankton: Cockleshell Heroes (December 1942)

Stage a small-scale mission with Royal Marine Commandos infiltrating Bordeaux harbor to place limpet mines on German shipping, a mission Churchill claimed shortened the war by six months.

๐ŸŽจ Painting Guide

Commandos had distinctive uniforms with some variations based on theater and operation:

  • โžค Battledress: Standard British Khaki (Vallejo 921 English Uniform or similar)
  • โžค Green Berets: Dark Green (Vallejo 967 Olive Green or similar)
  • โžค Webbing: Canvas color (Vallejo 976 Buff or similar)
  • โžค Commando Daggers: Steel blade with black grip
  • โžค Face Blackening: For night operations, consider adding dark streaks to faces and hands

For Inter-Allied Commandos, add appropriate national insignia using the included decals. Belgian commandos often had tricolor flashes on their berets, while Polish commandos displayed the Polish eagle. French commandos frequently wore the Cross of Lorraine symbol.
