The 21st Panzer Division Brings More Goodies To Flames Of War
December 6, 2019 by brennon
Come and dive into the mix of goodies available from Battlefront Miniatures for Flames Of War. This time around you've got the 21st Panzer Division taking command of the battlefield with a host of new armoured elements.
Hotchkiss (7.5cm or 10.5cm)
Lorraine Schlepper
U304(F) Half-Track
Reihenwerfer
S307(f) (7.5cm)
This array of vehicles are part of a unique force which was largely having to make do with modified French armour. They were kept back as the Allies stormed over Juno and Sword Beach and General Marcks took command, ordering the Kampfgruppe Oppeln to attack. This led to this quote which summed up the invasion...
"If you don’t succeed in throwing the British into the sea, we will have lost the war."
So, if you're looking for a ramshackle band of vehicles for you to throw into the mix then you'll want to snap these up alongside some new infantry elements too. The Parachutist Mortar Platoon and also the Parachutist 47mm Anti-tank Platoon are also available for you to snap up.
Also, remember that you can still get involved over the next few days in the D-Day Global Campaign!

This will please a lot of German players. 21st Panzer was one of the first German Divisions to move against the Allied troops landing in Normandy and put up a spirited defence. They were left out of the original German D-Day book but pleased to see that they will get their own supplement. They had a lot of odd equipment so I expect to see some unique lists that can be made from this. And they had Major Hans Von Luck, a Leader who was one of the first into Poland then fought in Russia, North Africa, Normandy and later… Read more »
Von Luck was a warrior in the last 2 editions so I expect he’ll get his own command card.
Having looked through the mid-war parachutist books I like how they’re doing these smaller, more focused sets with all the cards you need as well.
I was a little concerned when 4th edition launched and I saw the first army list books that the more quirky lists and set ups would get lost. Most of my FoW lists are set and based around the Italian campaign where there was a lot of older equipment mixed with the new and pilfered from the Italian army which adds a lot of flavour. BUT, if this is where Battlefront are going, then my concerns look misplaced and I agree with your views on these smaller sets. Now if they could only bring out a supplement for the Italian… Read more »
