Flames Of War D-Day Boot Camp: Sunday

Welcome to the final day of our Flames of War D-Day Boot Camp!

We’ve been joined by the guys from Battlefront for a weekend of gaming, recreating the battles around Normandy after D-Day.

The Boot Campers have got their armies built and on the table and already have a couple of games under their belts. The day will bring yet more epic clashes, and it looks as though Warren has something a bit different up his sleeve…

Last Chance to Win!

What questions are you going to ask? 

Justin sits down with John from Battlefront for a closer look at their Colours of War book.

Colours of War is the essential guide for painting your Flames of War miniatures. Not only do you get some useful painting tips, it also allows you to get the accurate uniforms and colour schemes for your historical armies.

The Boot Campers have arrived and are all getting stuck into their day’s hobbying. Sundays are always the most relaxed day of the Boot Camp, and now everyone is ready to enjoy some games, or chill out with some painting and modelling.

Warren could not resist the call of the pulp any further and has brought the forces of the alien Vril to bolster his German army once again.

Our Live Q&A with Phil Yates and Wayne Turner is kicking off!

Check it out on our homepage or on our Twitch channel, and make sure to join in on the chat with your questions about Flames of War and Team Yankee.

Over at Battlefront’s Big Four Of Late War, Wayne Turner is fielding the German forces. Or, rather, the Austrians.

For his inspiration, Wayne turned to the history of the 2.Panzerdivision. This division moved its home barracks to Vienna after the German annexation of Austria, and was mostly made up of Austrians from that point.

The force later saw combat in Normandy, engaging with the British 50th Infantry and 7th Armoured Divisions.

You can find out more about this force and how Wayne is looking to theme his army around them over at the Big Four Of Late War page.

Bob has been getting his tanks painted up this weekend and even went the extra step to name his American Sherman tanks.

We check in with Warren for a mid-game update on how his Flying Saucers are getting on.

Battlefront’s Casey Davies is fielding the Soviets for Big Four of Late War and takes us through his plans for a winter tank army.

Casey has made quite a few Soviet armies in the past, but has yet to finish a force of winter tanks. This time though, he’s driving on ahead and ready to create an army that looks as though it has already weathered the worst that war has to throw at it.

The boot Campers have made great progress getting their Flames of War armies painted up and onto the table this weekend.

Gerry stops off with Martin, Wayne, and Bob to take a closer look at what they’ve been working on.

Everyone is relaxed and enjoying their last games of the weekend today. The Boot Camps are always a great opportunity to learn a game and hang out with the other wonderful gamers who share a love of tiny fighting men.

Justin and Chris lift the lid on the Soviet Starter Bundle from Battlefront Miniatures.

For the Soviets, the answer is always “tanks”. What was the question? Doesn’t matter, it’s still tanks.

We return to find out how Warren’s game went. Is their a future for UFOs in the field of war?

Unfortunately, things did not go so well for the weird world war brigade. But that won’t stop them returning to the battlefield!

After making a spectacular entrance this morning, Warren’s UFOs sadly ended up grounded.

Still, I doubt this will be their last flight. The Nachtwulf will return!

Everyone’s been having a blast this weekend at the Flames of War D-Day Boot Camp.

John went around to find out how the Boot Campers has found this latest hobby weekend and what games they have been getting up to.

Justin sits down again with Chris from Battlefront to take a look at the German starter force for Flames of War.

This Panzer Kampfgruppe provides you with plenty of options on the battlefield, combining plenty of armour with fast, mobile infantry supported by artillery. The set also sees them accompanied by the infamous Tiger tanks!

The Boot Camp’s built British force rolls out onto the field of Flames of War.

Justin and Chris sit down one more time to take a look through the Flames of War Unit Card Packs.

These unit cards help you to keep track of every unit you have on the table, keeping an eye on stats, and building your army lists without having to constantly flick back and forth through the army books.
