New Ghost Panzers & Red Banner Pre-Orders Live For Flames Of War
November 8, 2018 by brennon
Ready for an early December release, two new books are on the way for those playing as the Germans and Soviets in Flames Of War. As the battle hots up around Stalingrad you'll need new forces and scenarios to get stuck into.
The two books which are rolling out for the factions are Ghost Panzers and Red Banner.
"The Eastern Front shifts from the rubble-strewn streets of Stalingrad back across the Russian Steppe as the Red Army rolls back the German invasion. With new weapons fielded by the Wehrmacht arriving on the front to aid in retaking lost ground and the constant pressure of the determined Soviet resistance, the brutal battle for the East continues with Ghost Panzers and Red Banner."
Both of these new books are then going to be supplemented by a range of new releases across the following couple of months beyond December. Leading the charge for both of these books we have two new 'Get Started' plastic sets.
The first of these is Bake's Fire Brigade which as you can see comes with some heavily armoured tanks and some proper rocket support in the back too.
Rolling up against them we have Kutusov's Heroes for the Soviets. Again we're seeing a range of new tanks up for grabs as well as some mechanised fire support in the form of those rocket batteries.
It will come down to one of those age-old clashes between the Soviets and the Germans. Will the heavier armour of the Germans win out or will the speed of the Soviets be able to push them out of the city?
Make sure to take a closer look at their release scheduled HERE as it details all of the kits that will be coming up between December and February.
Will you be adding to your Soviet or German army?
"Will the heavier armour of the Germans win out or will the speed of the Soviets be able to push them out of the city?"
It’s good to see more ‘Flames Of War’ coming out.
When will we be seeing some more ‘Flames of War for the Win’?
If I remember, Doctor Dave is very busy these days, but surely someone can step in and challenge Waren to some 15mm warfare?
I agree, that’s how I discovered BOW.
Same here. I seem to remember they had a mid series break, which I’m sure was a couple of years ago now.
Have been looking at giving FoW a 2nd attempt (bought Open Fire set in v3 having watch FoW FTW but it floundered at the local club), recently picked up the v4 rules and the new army books and thinking about a Panzergrenadier company from Iron Cross, but will see what Ghost Panzers adds to the mix
Anyway, as @Templar007 said, bring back FoW FTW please 🙂
Nice additional material for a fabulous game.
I certainly think a BoW revisit to show off the mechanics of v4 is long overdue.
Hopefully this new book will allow me to reuse more of my spare german tanks (originally bought for Late War) in a Mid-War force.
Those are very nice.
