8/10/2019 Rules- Lights! Camera! Action!

1/2

RULES: LIGHTS!

CAMERA! ACTION!USING WAR REPORTERS

IN BOLT ACTIONBefore we get into this article I would just like to point out this is a fun, optional rule

allowing you to use the free miniature you get when you order Battleground Europe: D-Day

to Germanyfrom us.

With the release of our first Bolt Action campaign book Battleground Europe due

imminently, packed chock-full of new scenarios and characters for you fine folks to get your

teeth into, weve cornered our resident Italian rule-writing aficionado, Alessio Cavatore to

wring-out just a little more goodness

Weve locked him away and forced I mean, asked him to shed some light on the role

of War Reporters during the Second World War, to accompany the free miniature which is

supplied with any orders for Battleground Europe placed through the Warlord Games

webstore or from our stand at shows.

So without further ado well hand you over to Alessio.

HISTORYBattlefield Reporters were used throughout the Second World War by almost every side.

They played a hugely important role in documenting the actionand driving the propaganda

machine with all sides using the gathered footage to spin to their advantage and keep their

countrymen back home on-side and behind the war effort.

USING BATTLEFIELDREPORTERS IN BOLT ACTIONHQ TEAMS ALL ARMIES

WAR REPORTERS TEAMThe presence of the War Reporters cameramen bolsters the confidence of the troops nearby

the soldiers want to appear brave, dashing and handsome under fire for their families and

the girls watching the cinema newsreels back home. Interestingly, this is true for the fightingmen on both sides

Cost: War Reporter team 30 pts (inexperienced)

Propagandakompanie Cameraman a characterful model that would make a fantastic

Battlefield Reporter for German players.
