D-Day Forces Of Normandy Returns For Flames Of War
May 10, 2024 by brennon
Battlefront Miniatures are going to be releasing a revamped D-Day book to commemorate the 80th Anniversary of the invasion of Europe and the fight back against Axis occupation. If you're into Flames Of War, then you'll be able to get a book collating all of the information you need for 15mm wargaming during the period.
D-Day: Forces In Normandy 1944 // Flames Of War
Shop Flames Of War @ Store.OnTableTop
The new book for 2024 will contain all of the army lists for the German, British and American forces that were battling in Normandy plus rules for Armoured, Mechanised, Infantry and Airborne forces. This means you'll be able to run forces based on the likes of the Commandos and the Rangers as you storm the beaches and head deeper into Normandy.
D-Day Germans // Flames Of War
As well as the actual lists, there is also a detailed history within that helps you work out what force you might want to make next. Learn about each of the nations battling it out and see if there's a particular group and their exploits that you'd like to see recreated on the tabletop.
D-Day British // Flames Of War
There are also full missions and scenarios allowing you to recreate the airborne landings before D-Day and the brutal beach landings themselves. You'll also find rules for fighting in the Bocage and the strange situations that come from that! You'll also find all of your regular colourful photography to inspire you plus painting and basing guides for good measure.
D-Day Americans // Flames Of War
The idea is that brings all of the previous D-Day books into one place so rather than having to deal with multiple books, you can just pick up this and use it to play out your D-Day battles on the tabletop. Additionally, each D-Day book will come with a unique code that unlocks the contents of the book in Forces Of War so you can build your armies and get ready for battle digitally.
Capping things off, Battlefront are also providing you with a chance to snap up the Reinforcement Unit Card Pack which comes with new unit cards to help you on your way.
D-Day Reinforcement Unit Cards // Flames Of War
This set will be available whilst stocks last and contains three American Unit Cards, seven British ones and twenty-two German ones. So, a decent way for you to perhaps get all that you need for playing out Flames Of War games set during D-Day without having to dive back into books.
Both the book and the card pack are available to pre-order right now with new army bundles coming to support them.
Will you be playing out a D-Day battle during the anniversary?
I’ve already got 3 different versions of the lists from V2/3 .
So £40 for lists most will already have , or is there sometning new in there ?
Why isn’t the 2nd $$ box being redone ?
This is the FoW churn-and-burn way. Regurgitate with the most minor of changes and keep the money flowing.
It’s like GW except with zero creative change. Says a lot, and not much of that is good…
In fairness though it’s a historical tabletop miniatures game, it’s not like they can introduce a load of new units & rules to the setting like GW can.
Don’t get me wrong I’m not a fan of it, but there’s only so much they can do within the framework of the game’s setting and the overall system.
Will these sets be available to pre-order through your store or just the Flames of War site?
Should be available on our store next week
Hopefully the group that I belong to will be doing a tournament about D-Day
