And so we come to the end of the Mega Game...and the end of the Flames Of War 4th Edition Boot Camp.
The Germans have rerouted history and changed things in their favour. Now the Germans might be able to delay future endeavours by the Allies and stop their plans.
It's now up to you gamers to find out what happened next. If you play out some games following on from this we'd love to hear from you.
Thank you for watching and following along!
Grats to the DAK! Great game everyone.
More battles? Awesome!!!
Great game, looks like it was loads of fun. Great campaign too really helped make come to life for me.
Gratz to DAK
Thank you to Beast of War and Battlefront for setting up and sharing this event with the world. It’s been fun to be a part of remotely. I hope to see more events like this and will be frequenting Beast of War much more in the future.
Looks like it was a lot of fun. Maybe one day i’ll be able to make that trip, but this is the next best thing.
Awesome! But what’s with the bald weather man????? Great job you guys. Definitely on my bucket list to make it to one of your Boot Camps.
The dice gods shinned favorably on the Germans in the end.
So Rommel pulled it off
Sounds painful…
Very nice game.
THX for the weekend
film john vs justin! lets see the rumble!
The campaign added a great deal of background. Loved the whole event. Really looking forward to more full battles and content next week.
Well done as always. I appreciate all the support your group has given to this hobby.
Thank you.
And so another boot camp concluded.. Well done to all involved another fantastic weekend of content. Looking forward to the future flames content I’ve missed flames of war FTW last year.. Hopefully another season is on the way..
Safe journey home everyone
Grats to the DAK players and the BoW team for a really interesting weekend.
Looking foward to more FoW content.
Yup, a boot camp is on my bucket list too. Talk about a close game. I guess Jim held out after all. It wasn’t looking so good from this side of things!
I held out until the end of Turn 8, when the game was officially called. Then we went on to “Free Gaming.” Well, for those of us still on the table, the choice was clear. They may not be still keeping score but we still wanted to finish the battle to the bitter finish! I was finally destroyed by a combined drive of @bothi and @johnlyons ‘ tanks on Turn 12, with the game finally coming to an end on Turn 13. I think Mark’s tanks were the last Germans to finally be destroyed on the table just south of… Read more »
I am very impressed with everything I saw this weekend. The game looks like they went in the right direction. The plastic model kits all seem to be top notch. The kits are easy to put together and paint, but they also offer enough detail for you to back to work on them and make an incredible army out of them. The campaign and mega battle were both brilliant ideas for the boot camp and I hope to see more of them in the future
The campaign combined with the massive final battle really added to the interest. Of course this could be taken further – oriskany mentioned the impact of logistics, repairs, battlefield engineering, recon, airsupport and so on so the concept can be taken a very long way further along for those with the time and enthusiasm (and plenty of table space) 🙂
Absolutely, @dorthonion – as far as campaign games go, this campaign game was a starting point, nothing more.
Thank you for all the great content you guys have put out during the weekend, really learned a lot.
Hope alle of you had a great bootcamp, I certenly had at blast following you on the site.
Damn – at least James won’t have to make ‘that’ trip to Berlin to explain himself!
Nope, my formation commander tank was bailed out and failed its remount check (finally) and my last tank (I only had two at that point) left the field per the formation morale rules. So by piling onto the engine deck, we were able to get our survivors and wounded out of there. Fight another day!
It’s been a brilliant event to follow, must have been awesome to be a part of. Thank you.
Missing the boot camp already!
History made! I’m so pumped for v4 right now.
Thanks for all the content beasts of war it’s been great
Coolz
Im glad we will see more of oriskaney
More Oriskaney is certainly no bad thing. I’d like to see some more of his articles again as well.
