BOLT ACTION DEMO/INTRODUCTORY GAMES:
The Official demo was announced a few years ago
is (for each player):
2 squads - 7 minis, SMG on Sarge, 3 BAR, rest Rifles
1 Cmd Sq - 1 LT & 2 Infantry with Rifles
All "Regular"
No vehicles, special rules, etc.
You can use whichever two armies you want, typicall is USA vs German from the starter, but as long as the basics match the list above.
Demo games should last 30 mins (I prefer 45 mins). If there hasn't been an assault by the time there is 10 mins left (15 on a 45 min game) stop the game and explain you want to show off the assault rules and set one up for the players to go through.
PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION: As long as the sarge can handle having two types of games running a the same time, then besides the introductory game they can also offer an "intermediate" game by:
- Increase game time to 60 / 75 mins (if introductory are 30 / 45 mins)
- Increase the 2 squads to 10 minis each
- Add 1 tank (keep the tanks fairly close in capabilities)
