April 30, 2021 by brennon
Battlefront Miniatures have three new Flames Of War 15mm releases for you to check out for building German armies in World War II. There are some new Planes alongside Assault Tanks and Panzerwerfer for you to play around with.

Introducing dive bombers into the mix sounds like a good idea when building a German army. Add these planes into the mix and you'll be able to soften up the enemy for a ground assault. With the Stuka, you can put some holes in enemy tanks, perhaps with the 3.7cm guns that are strapped under its wings.
Land Assault
When it comes to the ground assault, you can also pick up the Brummbär Assault Tank Platoon.

These new assault tanks were designed so that they could withstand the attacks of the enemy and provide close heavy gun support for infantry. This would become very important in the close confines of urban environments. Sit one of these at the end of a street and mound the enemy into submission.
If you're looking to saturate an area with firepower then you've also got the option to tinker with a Panzerwerfer 42 Battery.

Mobile rocket launchers are pretty good if you want to make sure that the enemy has no cover to hide behind. Mounting the rockets on the back of a half-track meant that you could get the devastating effect of a strike without being bogged down and open to assault.
There are some "fun" options here and they might be interesting if you've been watching our recent Flames Of War videos!
Are you tempted to snap these up?

i have these in metal and resin but will definitely be getting the plastic. I know, i don’t need more but does give me a chance to paint new stuff, assemble a new army and just stay active when we can’t play against each other. The Quarentine Armies will one day take to the field of battle.
Stuka’s yay.
Quick note about your Stuka box in the OTT store which is described as “(2x plastic)”. Are you sure these aren’t resin (like the original single model from previous edition). FoW website assembly instructions look like the resin… unless you know otherwise?
I have always liked Stukas since I was a little kid and had a metal toy Stuka that dropped a metal bomb that you could put caps in to make it go bang. I would love to find one of those again. I wish my painting skills could do a reasonable job of painting 15mm scale. But sadly this game is too small for me.
