Flames Of War D-Day German Pre-Orders Now Available
August 16, 2019 by brennon
Battlefront Miniatures are expanding upon the options available for the Germans now. If you're looking to take control of the Axis power then you'll soon be able to dive right into a massive D-Day German release schedule which runs through September into late October.
The main focal point is the book which offers up lots of options for your German army. This book focuses on the forces that would have been fighting on the beaches, trying to hold off the Allied advance, and of course the German forces deeper into Normandy and France who had occupied the country for many years.
Tanks & Troops
Of course, this means lots of new collections for you to delve into. If you're a fan of tanks then, of course, you'll have the Tiger Tank Platoon...
...and a favourite of Warren's from World War II, the StuG Assault Gun Platoon. A lot of these new options for the Germans are made in plastic which is good to know and will be a good bolter to the German offering in the Hit The Beach set which popped up a few months ago.
In addition to all of the tanks, there's also an interesting twist towards the Fallschirmjager with these early releases. These well-trained soldiers mean you'll have a good core of infantry in your force, ready to take and hold objectives.
This is the larger company element that is available although you will also be able to pick up smaller sections of this force. You will no doubt be packing farmhouses and all sorts with Germans, ready to ambush the Allies when they roll into town.
You can also get some neat artillery elements too like the 8.8cm Heavy AA Platoon. You will need these for trying to hold back the Allied invasion, hopefully scattering their fast-moving forces as they push further inland.
There are a lot of new options coming your way for the Germans over the next couple of months. If you're interested in seeing what else is on the cards make sure to check out the Pre-Order Page.
Are you going to be delving into a German army for Flames Of War?
"...there's also an interesting twist towards the Fallschirmjager with these early releases"
Interesting, though most of what I want is in the tail end of release
Skz 250’s Pumas and variants and ……….Jagdpanzers, heck of a lot of them in Panzer Lear.
Looking forward to initially picking up some Fallschirmjager, more for the challenge and experience of painting them than anything else. Plus I do fancy some flamethrowing halftracks as well and a few Pumas and maybe, maybe a Jagdpanzer or two….
I think the STUGs with the fsllschirmjager supporting each other will be a winning combination.
Tigers and Stugs oh my. Both are nice to get in platoon boxes.
With the models I’ve already got, the book and 2 packs of cards should keep me going for a while. Maybe a Fallschirmjager company and extras plus some AA and I’m done… for now!
Oooh Tigers and 88’s for me please
