Chris Explains How To Introduce Your Friends To Flames Of War
John asks Chris a few questions about how he introduces people to Flames of War.
So you’ve got your new starter bundle. A Hit the Beach box set for you and a friend. You’ve read the rules and built both forces. But how do you go about taking your friends through their first game? Luckily Chris is on hand to showcase years of convention experience to get mucked in with your forces and start blowing things up on the table.
Catching Up With Some Of Our Last Minute Painters
John talks to those adding the finest of details to their army for the weekend.
Stopping off first with Bob, he is adding individual names to the sides of each of his tanks. And Martin gets a rude awakening of sorts as he finds out he only has about an hour before he needs to get his army ready…
I’m curious if the FoW stuff is a permenant addition to the store, or just a bootcamp weekend thing. Are you finally getting non-GW stock?
Good question!
I wish there was a place like this close to where I live. You guys rock
Since version 4 has come out Battlefront has really put out some great stuff. The Boot Camp stuff has been great. Thanks
Fantastic the weekend has begun… Hope to see a video from the tables overview.. they are looking fabulous.. Have fun guys and i will follow it from behind the pc 🙂
All the stronk Soviet armour.
Can’t wait to see those armies on the table! Especially on the city table
Bring it on!
Going to be doing a bit of Panzer Leader with@oriskany and @damon today as we were all unable to make it this time.
We’ll all be tuning in to keep up with everything that’s going on today.
All too true, @brucelea . 😀 We’ll be recreating the landings on Gold Beach (“Jig” sector) with 1st Hampshires and 1st Dorsets, Sherwood Rangers (DD Shermans), 82nd Assault Squadron Royal Engineers, Sherman “Crabs” of the Westminster Dragoons, 2nd Devonshire in the second wave along with 47th Royal Marine Commandos. They’ll be resisted by elements of 1) Grenadier Rgt 916 / 352 Infantry Division (backed up by 352’s Artillery) 2) Ost Battalion 441, Inf Regiment 726, 716th Static Infantry Division (+ elements 1,716th Arty Rgt). https://www.beastsofwar.com/project/1303724/ Also keeping up with the gamers, hobbyists and especially reenactors at the Boot Camp! Awesome… Read more »
The weather is poo today, so I won’t be forced to do outside stuff. Roll on the Boot Camp.
What camo pattern with Warren paint on his tanks?
I love that city table.
I have to get my brother to print out a load of buildings for me.
Would be great to play on it.
Those tables are awesome.
Looking forward to see a few battle reports! Always someting to learn!
What changed in FoW? I have not played in awhile…
Can you guys give us a few example builds for LW armies for us people who still don;t have Fortress Europe?
Are the game rules divided by timeline? This content seems geared specifically towards Late War, is that dictated by the rulebook or jus the American presence and the theming of the starters on DDay?
There are early and late war rulebooks.
Wish i could get others to play Flames of War at my local club. I really wanna do a British Rifle Company with all those lovely toys (WASP anyone?).
Can’t wait to see the battle reports!
Hope everyone is having fun
So much great content so far today.
Great tables, great battles.
Ugh. Still can’t decide. Flames of war OR Bolt action.
Any chance seeing a “demo” game of FOW4? Watching Warren take on Justin in Normandy would be a blast???
can’t wait to see the game on the big table.
I’m waiting to see what other bundles will be coming in the near future. Some of the older stuff had some huge box sets.
Loving the live blog today, loads of interesting content.
