Armies of Italy: Third Edition is your essential guide to collecting and playing Italian forces in Bolt Action!

With a huge roster of infantry, artillery, vehicles, and more covered across 96 full-colour pages, Armies of Italy gives you everything you need to transform your collection of Italian Bolt Action miniatures into a significant fighting force on the tabletop. Whether you’re fielding the Italian military as a part of the Axis, or post-Armistice, this book includes not one, but three army lists and sets of national special rules to cover all eventualities!

In addition to the unit profiles and national special rules, Armies of Italy is packed with historical background details, and full-colour illustrations and photography, to inspire your hobby journey.

Special Figure: Alongside the book comes the ‘Desert Lightning’ special book figure, representing a tough-as-nails paratrooper fighting in the Western Desert campaign. With two optional sets of arms brandishing a variety of improvised anti-tank weapons, he’s the perfect accompaniment to any Italian force.
