Flames Of War 4th Edition Boot Camp: Day Three

We're seeing a few more engagements come together for the Flames Of War Boot Camp this morning as they play out a final round of games before we move onto the BIG event later on today.

There is going to be one hell of a fight over the railroad...but before that we need to find out how the British and Germans are doing since last nights revelations.

Keep an eye out for more soon. Also, how cool do the tank tracks look when they've been left in the sand!?

Getting prepped for the full on battle John steps away from the hobby table to try his hand at a game with his force of British tanks and artillery.

He's facing off against Justin and we'll be stopping in a little later to see how things are going after a few turns of play.

It's time to get stuck in and grab some grub from the Boot Camp.

The Boot Campers are going to need a hearty meal before they start fighting over the railroad at El Alamein

Things are hotting up across the tabletop as we see each of the sides racing for the centre. We're going to have a catch-up with Mike soon who will give us a recap on the game so far.

For now, take in the awesomeness and see what's happening as the tanks trundle into place for a battle to end all battles in the desert.

While the British have been able to push forwards in good order they were then blasted by the Germans in return. They were able to hold some of the objectives for a little while but the German guns don't tire.

While we're seeing a lot of fire escaping from the hatches of these tanks that doesn't mean they are down and out. There's much more to come and both sides have a chance to be exceptionally heroic today!

As we mentioned in our round-up video it seems like things are really coming towards a crunch time here on the tabletop. Flanks are breaking, armies are eyeing up their next targets, and it looks like some people are regretting their choice of tactics.

With that in mind we'd love to hear about any of the big mega games that you might be running for Flames Of War, or indeed any World War II games.

Get stuck in and let us know how you'd approach a game like El Alamein? Maybe we could get some Bolt Action into the mix too?

The battle is currently hanging on a little bit of a cliff edge as the flanks are breaking and things are focusing in towards the centre of the battlefield.

However, there are still stalwart sections of both armies valiantly fighting it out to the last to try and prevent a wash of vehicles moving up the field and into battle with their comrades.

This really has turned into quite the cinematic experience and people are really enjoying getting stuck into things, and generally having a good bit of fun!

Because of the way the game is set up some of the tables can't move up until they have managed to wipe out their opponent.

That means, mirroring a breakdown in communications, that we've ended up with some reinforcements not being able to push in towards the places where they are sorely needed.

Come back soon to see how this all wraps up.

Working exceptionally hard over the weekend Noyjatat from the community got stuck in and painted up his entire force over the last few days.

I think the models look fantastic and it's great to see someone approaching this from the hobby point of view rather than the gaming one. Both facets of our hobby are equally awesome!

How would you approach painting up your force?
