Time for the guys to get together and start to plan out what they'll be taking for their epic D-Day game. Warren will be working from the Atlantik Wall book and David will be running his forces from Overlord. Get ready folks because this one is going to be huge!
This series has made me decide to get into this game! I’ve always been interested in WW2 but was never sure about historical games. This has changed my mind 🙂 Also i have been reading a book called ‘The Barbed-Wire University’ which is about what allied prisoners of war did to make being locked up for so long bearable. Even if you are not a ‘historical’ person it is such a good human interest story. It is warm, funny and in bits really sad but a fantastic read!
Dave is super cool and I love Warren’s enthusiasm… from a game I wasn’t interested, they’ve transformed FOW into a game I want!!!
Its a cracking game. not only is it fun to play and highly collectible but its extremely addictive.
How does Dave look so good, and yet Warren looks like he just came off a 14 hour flight?
Now we’re talking: (fairly) historical action at FoW FtW. I salute you, sirs!
this series really wants me to get back into flames of war, its a great game to play and you guys make it look easier to learn then i remember
Glad to see the doctor rubbing of on Warren
Despite Warrens protests to contrary were starting to hear him dropping in little snippets of History knowledge.
Just think of it as fluff mate but it’s for real
Let yourself go as there’s more than enough stories to last a lifetime.
It’ll be interesting to see where this leads.
Yeah come on Warren don’t deny yourself mate
Come on, I’m loving FOW now and am involved. I need the book! Also Dave looks marvellous!!!
Another great video guys. I am really loving the FOW FTW series. My gaming group have just started getting into FOW in a massive way and these videos are a great mix of the game and the history involved. Keep them coming.
I love your historical discussion about paratroop operations x). But the parachute landings did serve a vital purpose in WWII. It allowed small but elite forces to land and either hold or destroy an objective. Casualties were far higher than many other regiments in the army, but what they could achieve was breath taking. Look at the Belgium landings in 1940. Or the invasion of crete. Both of these saved valuable time and resources for German forces, allowing them to rapidly conqueror both countries. And Normandy was probably the most successful mass landing. If you want a real debauchery look… Read more »
The “Lady Gaga” of Historical Gaming is a good title for Warren!!! Nevertheless, I am glad that Dave and Andrea are taking him to school!!! :>)
Go For Broke!!!!
The HauptmannV
Dave is not the doctor!!! Is Tom Hanks in disguise!!!!!
That game sounds awesome can the Germans change history?
Who will design a uniform for Warren ?
Answers on the back of a fiver.
Really enjoying the series, can’t wait to see what shenanigans you guys get up to in the D-Day assault.
As a Canadian I must proudly point out that we pushed so far inland that we had to stop and wait for everyone else to catch up.
Good on you Zacman. You should be proud. As Eisenhower said, The Canadians are the best soldiers the Brits have…and their American!
Before I get any hatin’…I’m a proud Brit living in Canada.
Dave is awesome, He really is a proper historical war enthusiast!
I was rather interested in Flames of War, now I want to play it more and more!
I’ve watched this series with interest. Like Warren, I can take or leave the historical side of things. I would like to try Flames of War however am limited by the poor financial state of having a young family. Please, please send me the box so I can try it out. I will paint a 28mm German for Warren’s Nachtwolfen as a ‘spiritual’ leader and send it back in thanks.
I am painting 28 mm WW2, I wonder how different would be painting 15 mm…

Blasted Beasts of War, yet another epically cool looking miniatures game I can’t afford.
