Pre-Order Bulge: British Book & More For Flames Of War
October 4, 2022 by brennon
Battlefront Miniatures is now taking pre-orders for the new selection of Bulge: British books, accessories and miniatures that are coming to support this Allied push during World War II. We start with a new book for the 15mm World War II wargame, Flames Of War.
Bulge: British Book // Flames Of War
Shop Flames Of War @ Store.OnTableTop
The Bulge: British book focuses on the push by the British Army during Operation Market Garden but also delves into the Rhine Crossing and those final clashes in Germany. You will find new rules for building...
"...Comet Armoured Squadron, Challenger-equipped Hussars Armoured Squadron, Cromwell Armoured Squadron, Guards Sherman Armoured Squadron, Ram Armoured Squadron, Black Bull Motor Company, Guards Churchill Armoured Squadron, Kangaroo Rifle Company, Frost’s Parachute Company, and Glider Pilot Squadron"
...amongst other combinations. There is also a full painting and basing guide for the army and this period plus four new Amphibious-themed Missions to undertake. And yes, that also means Amphibious Operations rules for you to get stuck into as well.
A perfect compliment to this new Bulge: British book might actually be the Firestorm: Market Garden Campaign set that is coming out alongside the book.
Firestorm: Market Garden Campaign // Flames Of War
Within this book, you'll find rules allowing you and your friends to refight the entirety of the campaign in Flames Of War. As they have said in their description, "can you change history, or will it be A Bridge Too Far?"
New Bulge: British Starter Force
Alongside the new Bulge: British book, you can also pick up a new Starter Force. This might be just what you need to enact the campaign mentioned above!
Comet Armoured Squadron // Flames Of War
The Comet Armoured Squadron comes with, as you might have guessed a bunch of Comet Tanks, Cromwell, Challenger, Chaffee and Sexton. You also get an MG Team, PIAT Team, Mortars, MGs, Ram Kangaroo, Archers and more. This is all topped off by the Rulebook for Flames Of War, a Start Here Booklet and all the other bits and bobs you need to get playing.
A solid start for anyone wanting to play as the plucky British. This should be dropping next week alongside the first wave of releases so, keep an eye out for it.
More Bulge: British Miniatures
The next few weeks are also going to be filled with additional releases for the British in various packs. Each week you'll get to pick up new vehicles, troops and more to supplement your growing British force for the Late War period.
Comet Armoured Troop // Flames Of War
Archer Anti-Tank Troop // Flames Of War
BOFORS AA Troop // Flames Of War
This is just a portion of the releases that have been lined up for the rest of October and the beginning of November. You are going to have some seriously awesome British kits to play around with and it's neat to see the Bulge range being rounded off nicely.

Great looking sets
Fantastic new vehicles.
Comets eh? For the British it’s a bit like fielding a Pershing in the US army (only a few saw action in the last days of the war), so if you’re not that bothered about the history then you should be good. The Archer and Challenger is nice to see in plastic. The Challenger was a bit rare (about 200 built), and the Archer ofc has the gun pointing backwards (The Russians tried to do a similar thing with an open crew compartment and rearward facing gun, with the old SU-85s in an attempt to mount a BIG gun on… Read more »
A fantastic set of releases from Battlefront that rounds out their late war British range, covering just about everything you might want in combination with the existing range, and all in plastic too! I’ve seen a few criticisms about the contents not being historically accurate or the Commet only saw minimal action towards the very end of the war. I think if people haven’t realised that Flames of War stretches historical accuracy in the aim of gameplay by now then its probably not for you. Personally, I think this is a fantastic release, its adding loads of new plastic’s meaning… Read more »
