If you want to get stuck into Flames Of War then you have some awesome options...

Lewis Gears US Up On The SS Panzer Grenadier Division's Gear
Lewis has come to the Boot Camp in the uniform of a Rottenführer of the 12th SS Panzer Grenadier Division, and took some time to introduce us all to all of the gear these soldiers carried into battle.
We Spot Some Spot Prizes
The guys from Battlefront have brought with them some special objective markers to give away as Spot Prizes to the Boot Campers.
Justin chats with Battlefront’s Chris to find out what must be done to win these coveted prizes, the first of which has already been claimed!
Warren Gets Priming With Part 3 Of His Painting
Warren has got his tanks built and that means it’s time to give them some colour too.
Having “borrowed” Justin’s pizza box, Warren and some of the others have chipped in for a primer to get the proper colour for his German machines of war.
Flames Of War D-Day Day One Draws To A Close
That’s it for Day One of the Flames of War D-Day Boot Camp. Even as we finish up, people are still feverishly hobbying to get their armies ready.
Make sure to come back tomorrow to see how the Boot Campers get on in their games of Flames of War, and remember to leave a comment for your chance to win one of three Flames of War Bundles.
I am really looking forward to the d-day coverage on youtube, and the new models and books that come out!
Woohoo – been refreshing all afternoon to catch the start of the coverage – let the armchair wargaming commence!
Haha, I know, right? cant wait to follow this event.
Will be here watching as couldnt make it across for this one 🙁
On the up side I’m with you in spirit, sat here painting up a US Armoured Rifle Platoon
It should be fun to see how things turn out.
Looking forward to watching the boot camp coverage!
Can’t wait to see how this weekend unfolds
That colours of war book looks to be a great resource, and these new starter bundles seem a great deal.
I’d say it is a must-buy for anyone playing FoW or Team Yankee, because it covers stuff that the building instructions don’t explain (like the explanation of the various markings)
Any idea the price on the starter set?
Nice tables there guys and thanks for giving those of us at home a chance at earning a small portion of hobby heaven.
I love Bootcamp weekends. Maybe one day I will make it over for one, but until then I will live vicariously through all of you. =)
Having been to two I can say it’s definitely worth it.
A D-Day event with multiple boards is definitely gonna be good!
I hope the Beasts post an compilations video on youtube like they did with the UKGE. That made it so much easier to see all the content and was a great success for me
Great job that you and Battlefront teamed up to mark this anniversary
I got next to nothing done last weekend, thanks to your live blogs from UKGE. Looks like this weekend is going to be a write-off too! (but in a good way, you know what I mean…)
Will be glued to the boot camp all weekend, my Hit the Beach arrived today so I can join in all the fun.
What a great way to celebrate the 75th anniversary of D-day. I was lucky enough to be at Omaha beach on the 70th anniversary 5 years ago and it was a highlight of my life. The history, the sacrifices and the stories were just so awesome. Glad to see Flames of War still going strong, love that game, just need my super microscope glasses when it comes to painting the soldiers. Have a great camp fellas.
This series has been awesome. I think Battlefront has hit this one out of the park.
The tables look great….I just wish I could be in the UK and be able to take part in this event. Warren….I was hoping to see you and Dr. Dave reunited for some D-Day action.
he would have been if Mrs Dr Dave wasn’t due with a tiny Dr Davelet ^^
The tables are looking good
Have a great weekend guys and girls, gutted I couldn’t be there!
The tables look great and definitely picked up a few ideas for easy to store scenery. Thanks
This is going to be awesome!
Can’t wait for all the D-Day boot vamp coverage on YouTube!
Looking forward to this weekends video content. Tables look fantastic so everyone have a great time.
Wish I could join you for one of these. I just don’t have the money or the annual leave, sadly.
I want to win something. But this stuff looks so cool. I have to get something, but what? Also I will not be able to get anything anytime soon. As funds are to tight to get anything for the summer at least.
