Flames Of War 4th Edition Boot Camp: Day Three

We stop in with Jim (oriskany) for the final day of the Flames Of War 4th Edition Boot Camp and talk with him about how you make your own campaigns.

There can be a LOT of work involved with these but they are a lot of fun as you've been seeing here throughout the weekend as part of the Boot Camp.

If you have any tips and tricks for your own campaigns on the tabletop don't hesitate to drop them into the comments below!

We find out how the game between Justin and John went and who thinks they're going to be coming out on top. Justin thinks he has the upper hand...John thinks differently.

Either way we've got a potential grudge match on our hands when the guys come to battling it out on the tabletop later in a big final game.

We stop in with Jim, Mike and Igor to find out how the campaign mega game is going to work.

It's going to be pretty hectic but we're going to be following the action from one turn to the next and seeing how the achievements get unlocked too!

It's not even begun properly yet and someone has already won themselves some goodies from the pool of awesomeness.

Walking away with a signed rulebook we have bothi who got to the objective first!

We stop in with the gamers and find out how Turn #1 has gone. It looks like the British have really pushed out in force to try and take the objective from the Germans.

Will this be a winning move or are we going to find ourselves facing some German guns blasting apart the British armour?

We're catching up with things from the other end of the table for the end of Turn #2.

As you can imagine things have really been going dangerously for the British. Maybe one of their commanders has actually got the right idea and hung back, ready to counterattack against the German push.

We find out just how sneaky the British can be as they slide in behind the rear of the German army and win themselves some goodies in the process.

Powering ahead they have pushed behind enemy lines and sighted the rear of the German tanks. Will they be able to cause from havoc?

We're getting stuck into the middle of the battle now with Jim and Dave as they fight out a rather cautious battle around the objective.

The British hung back here, looking to sucker the Germans in. Will they be able to withstand the withering amount of firepower coming in from the British and hold the objective?

We shall have to see how this one turns out by the end of the day. Are we soon seeing the flanks cracking too?

It looks like the first cracks are appearing in the line as the British have been routed and their force broken, turning the wheel of fortune in favour of the Germans.

Are they going to be able to make it work for them?

It didn't take long! Some British Tanks swung round to exploit the German flank and have taken some pot shots at their side armour.

It's always good to see the underdogs doing well considering things are starting to turn badly against the British. Will they be able to hold out with some good shooting?

We come back at the end of Turn #4 to see how things are doing for the British. Well...not well. The flanks have collapsed and they are pooling towards a fight in the middle of the tabletop.

How are things going to be resolved now that the forces are becoming more unmatched? We shall have to wait and see.

While the British lost their one flank, so have the Germans! Things are swinging towards the centre and Justin is...well...dead. No bones about it, he has fallen foul of the British!

Now the fight moves up the centre of the board towards where Jim (oriskany) is holed up. Will they be able to survive?

We stop off quickly to see how things are going at the end up this turn because things could be swinging any way right now.

The combat really has focused in on some brutal close quarters tank battling. It truly is special seeing the tabletop as it is, exploding with awesomeness. This has been a great Mega Game.

As well as the main Mega Battle we've also been focusing in on some awesome battles elsewhere too.

With that in mind, we had to give out a prize, to celebrate them battling it out to help secure another battlefield on the campaign map.

We focus in on some key moments of the battle as things come towards their climax. With that in mind this truly has been rather fantastic.

The tank battles of 4th Edition are a lot easier to play out and the changes in the rules make FoW a very fluid game indeed.

In the dying moments Tom was able to snag himself an awesome Achievement as his HQ was able to take out the enemy HQ unit.

This fellow has been holding out like a true champion throughout the whole battle and he has properly earned his stripes as a military commander.

And so we come to the end of the Mega Game...and the end of the Flames Of War 4th Edition Boot Camp.

The Germans have rerouted history and changed things in their favour. Now the Germans might be able to delay future endeavours by the Allies and stop their plans.

It's now up to you gamers to find out what happened next. If you play out some games following on from this we'd love to hear from you.

Thank you for watching and following along!
