Assault The Beach With Flames Of War US Assault Company
July 5, 2019 by brennon
Battlefront Miniatures are keeping the reinforcements coming for the Americans in Flames Of War with a new plastic set, the Assault Company.
If you're looking to come up off the beaches at Normandy and push your way through the German defences, this is the set that you need. I love that we're seeing a lot more of a focus towards infantry from these latest releases and the set comes packed with a range of standard weapons and heavy ones too.
Since the landing craft they used were so tight for space, each man was valuable and heavy weapons were distributed between the different crafts equally. This meant that they should, in theory, have a chance of making it through hell unscathed.
US Dice Sets
As well as the new set of plastic miniatures the team has also been working towards two sets of dice. You can either choose to pick the 82nd Airborne Tokens & Dice...
...or the 101st Airborne Tokens & Dice.
These are good for those that want to theme their force that little bit more. Folks always like theming their accessories to their faction in-game so make sure you snap these up.
Will you be getting stuck in and picking up the US as your force of choice in Flames Of War?

Those dice sets are great, wish theyd bring back those tins with all the tokens and dice, great for themed forced
Sorry to be a nit picker, but it’s a metal set, not plastic. I was just looking at it on the Flames of War site.
The same FoW site that says theyre plastic? 🙂

The title says they are plastic, but the images clearly show the same metal figures from the old assault company. Those aren’t plastic sprues like all the other plastic sets show on their site.
I know that, you know that, but unless Ben has been specifically checking each pic for details he’s going to go by the heading, written by BF themselves, which says they’re plastic 🙂
Really confusing since the pics show metal yet the words say plastic. I have this set from the last time and it was in metal and identical to this so unless they replicated this set perfectly in plastic I’m leaning towards it being in metal.
Since Battlefront have been moving their production over to plastic for a lot of stuff, I’m going to be inclined to think this is going to be plastic – odd that they have used metal images though. I will see if I can find out more for you @vorlon @foehammer888 @elessar2590
Turns out they are metal and the title is wrong on their side @vorlon @foehammer888 @elessar2590 and @olliep
Great troops the 101 dice look brilliant as well.
You can never have too many dice!
I’ll be picking up both sets as I’m doing the 82nd and the 101st this time around.
I’ll have to check and see if I’m in need of more Assult troops.
