Check out the Youtube video above where John-Paul talks about the newest edition of Flames of War and just how you can get a hold of this iteration of the rules...
Also if your new to the world of Flames of War then check out their Boot Camp here which should give you a quick run down of the game and what you can expect.

How long ago did they go to second edition? I know it isn’t that old of a game. Did they just shift out of first fast to fix problems or are the editions short lived?
Looks like 2nd edition was released in 2006
I would be a tad miffed if I had just bought a rulebook!
Gah! Should have read Garb’s post before responding.
Do FoW replace your old rulebook if you just bought one?
Yup! You can either order one for free with a FoW order from stores like Wayland Games or The Warstore, or you can take your 2nd edition rulebook into an FLGS that has the 3rd minibook in stock, get a sticker in the 2nd ed book, and get the 3rd ed book for free.
I have no experience with FoW but I’ve been on-and-off interested in it for years now. I was very intrigued by your post so I headed over to the War Store, and their advertisement of their offer stated that the book they are distributing is only helpful to those who own the 2nd ed, which is opposite of what is said in the video.

They went to second edition about 6 years ago. All the source books published under second edition are still just as good as before.
I bought the ‘Open Fire’ starter box with the ‘old’ mini rulebook. Can I still get the free replacement or do i have to have purchased the full rules to qualify?
You don’t get a free mini-rulebook with your mini-rulebook only with the full size one. On the plus size you if you buy the full size one now then in 6 years with fourth edition you’ll probably get a free mini-rulebook.
before someone comments if you don’t have a local store, email them. i have and they’ve put me on the mailing list for a copy of the book, shipping out this week. they’ve been friendly and helpful all the way through sorting it out.
