VLOG: Calculating Flames Of War Slow Grow League
September 3, 2019 by johnlyons
Warren, Gerry and John team up to find out how to calculate Warren's new Flames Of War Slow Grow League entry
Purchase Flames Of War At Our Store
It's been a while since Warren's been playing Battlefront's FOW, so he's recruited the aid of the experts of the team, Gerry and John to ransack his bucket of armies and get started on the Slow Grow League for himself.
Join The FoW Slow Grow League
How's your army coming along?
I think I need to borrow Gerry to help me sort out my points. I’ve probably got close to 100 points built, but I don’t have close to that painted! September is the month to get it done if I can stop being distracted by Chaos Daemons!
sure thing, throw peanuts at @lordsanes and we can pull up a pew, work out some lists and play a game or three
You rang?
*reads*
Yeah sounds good, I may need to frantically paint and build my other hit the beach though
I may have to frantically paint faster…
Fuck it. Build and prime and we can pick a Saturday to do it.
We have one of the campaign packs here and could split the cards between us
I’m easy. Any Saturday should suit me (though not the next couple).
John sighted! Say again, we have a John sighted!
I was beginning to worry he was dead. Or no longer at Beasts, which is the same to me…
Even when put in solitary confinement they get an hour out of their cell.
Looking good. Worked on my Slow Grow league Americans a bit over the weekend. I may just get done in time to work on other projects 🙂 The other side of my WWII conflict will be the next thing and that will be a lot of Lehr infantry. This has been a impossibly slow grow project as it was packed away about 27 months ago as we were packing up to sell the house and move. For some reason a couple of family game night games on the shelf was fine with the Realtor but he didn’t think a whole… Read more »
Headed back to the Alma Mater tonight and stopped in at the Shoppe. There is now more German plastic in my pile of shame. 3 Tigers and a few of Pathers and that army is done. ?
5 Tigers built from the v3 late war plastic box, which also had the Tanks stat cards, these little huggers have taken a solid second place in fiddlyness with only the TY Hind ahead. The only saving grace for me was that the tabs mostly worked and the parts didn’t need much work. Why did i have to build a box out of parts to put on top of another box made out of parts? I know the Zimmerette (sp?) made for a complicated mold but come on.
I need to cracking with mine as I’ve fallen behind a bit.
Sooo this week I tweaked my force again and ordered some bits from the OTT store, gonna drop the 8.8cm guns and StuGs for now but have them all painted so no problem switching them back in. Looking forward to some new toys and a much more Formation orientated force that has a better balance of units.
Hobby League coming along nicely
– 109pt mid-war army finished last month
– 1st 50pt army all painted and waiting for decals (on back order from BF),the pinwashing and weathering to finish
– 2nd 50pt army all painted today, gloss coat drying now, just need to paint the tanks crews adn we’re onto decals (again may need to wait for some more from BF), pinwashing and weathering
Large pile still awaiting progress…
Think we need a FoW Hobby League weekend later this year @warzan 😉
your tanks, (4’s) are the back born of the german army. lol
I hope to be able to join in, I think I have all the models needed for both Germans and Americans.. I just need the knowledge to build a list and then the time to build and paint
tempting very tempting sails pitch you have going guys.
I feel an urge to get @warzan a medal for his efforts in pronouncing the units correctly so hard he forgot how to English for a minute. Sehr gut gemacht! 😉
Danke
Gern geschehen.
we all going to be doing Panzer Lehr??
Power gaming for the win lol
To be honest, it seemed like the local choice with German starter box 😉 but im way behind, i better give myself a kick in but, and start assambeling and paint my germans.
I was too but with the British book not out for D-Day until after the campaign my community has decided to draw our lists from the Fortress Europe supplement to keep things even
I really liked this video, really informative, it would be nice to have something like it for the US half of the box too…
There is a book in the office. I will see what I can do
Tkz! 😀
Everybody needs a Gerry!
Think got over a 100pts for both Yanks and Germans just got to sort them.
To echo @warzan On the Beach,is great value.
I’m not sure I am ready to join a cult and while the Backstage Pass would be great, not sure how useful it would be here 6000 miles away, but I have to admit I find Gerry heaping SPQR abuse on poor Charlie from Warlord and Warren’s FoW travails highly amusing! Flames of War might distract me mightily from my early Imperial Romans and the Germanic tribes if I wasn’t at least 70 minutes from the merest hint of an opportunity to play.
Couldn’t you use the half-tracks from the mechanized infantry squads to move those guns ?
Or do they need to have their own vehicles ?
