Gerry has been running from table to table all day helping people get to grips with Flames of War but he also checks in with Warren and Rob’s game.
Interestingly for Warren, he’s found that the tanks have followed the terrain built by the OTT crew, keeping to the roads and dirt tracks whilst the infantry have happily hopped over hedgerows and delivered surprise attacks to armoured divisions.
“Leave a reply” now need to be changed tp “Doobley-doo” across the site
The quick reference sheet is handy…thanks for the heads up. I’m going to have to print that off and laminate it. Flesh on flesh action..lol
Tactical genius? Did he include Ursarkar E Creed in his army list?
If @warzan is gaming,you can guarantee a lot of flesh on flesh action on and across the table.
That castle table looks fantastic, as per usual, you guys have produces some amazing tables
Loving the secret objectives option
Good to see Warren enjoying the game.
way to go Warren, a great job bringing a german victory, and amazing kill work Rob with takeing out all those Panzer IV´s.
Thanks for a great days coverage Beasts, Nice to see Warzan back into his FOW. Looking forwards to Sunday.
glad to see the smiley faces and fun all round
Good to see some flesh-on-flesh action taking place.
And no UFOs or STUGs were harmed in the filming of this video!
I have not been posting because FoW is not my game, but I just wanted to say it is nice to see Warren having a good time. Glad everyone is having fun.
thanks for leting us be a part of the bootcamp – think i have to set up a gaming weekend for my guys next weekend 😉
kill kill and kill again.
Tactical genius = there they are! Shoot them! Rolls 16 6s.
I hear it’s how Custer was awarded his command, never rolled lower than a 5
Until the Little Big Horn. Than, nothing but ones.
How long did this match take IRT ?
there was a 90min lunch in the middle and much wandering off, short answer… long 😉
We started the game about 11.30am and finished at around 6pm…lol
that castle is awesome. it’s nice to see the room you have for your troops.
The infectious nature of @warzan has certainly spread through this weekend so far and has got me excited about starting a new scale .Can’t wait for Sunday’s blog although it will probably hurt my wallet .

Whilst I blame my defeat on the Beer I had at lunchtime. It was in fact a miscalculation on my part… and lack of understanding of the abilities of infantry in the game. The German infantry is a total bitch to shift because they have a 3+ save where as the yanks have a 4+ so whilst I had in reality tried to kill the unit of infantry that out flanked me all I had succeeded in doing is pushing it back.

Wait where are all the night wolves??? Or Stug division???

When your having fun, time flys man. Keep it up!
Quick reference sheets are always good to have, and the table looked fantastic
