Thank you, great introduction to Flames of War, I'll be watching all subsequent episodes.

We'll get them out just as soon as we can. They are filmed, just finding the editing time.

Nice set up again gents, thanks for doing the detailed rules explanations - I still want a different activation system than I go you go, but it's a fun game to watch nonetheless!

I tend to agree. What I would say though, alternating activation definitely slows a game down. It is excellent for skirmish games, but as you scale up it really draws out game length. I do definitely prefer activating a single unit and it completing its actions, then swapping to a new unit, but it is not without flaws.

That’s a first rate set old bean. Well presented once again and good on you for putting in some context. When you add narrative you become more immersed. Good to see cooperative rather than purely competitive gameplay. This in my opinion is the very best way to wargame. By helping and supporting each other you get a much better outcome.

For sure! Once people start gaming with just the objective of winning the game, then it takes all the immersion and enjoyment out of casual gameplay.

Thanks fella.

This is a great video and a very good format. Good for walking a beginner who might buy the set through a game. I loved the rules graphics with rulebook page references. Nice work. There was only 1 Mistaken Target roll. Was that because there was only one team that hadn't been assigned hits that was a valid target? Otherwise the player can keep rolling MT until they fail one. PS. The miniatures look great too. Good work on the painting. You set a good table, sir!

There was only one other, un hit, eligible target , which we did not explain unfortunately. That was the limiting factor.

If i build the Paratroupers i musst Play 5 bases . Is the unit Leader one of those bases?

thx for the introduction. I already ordered that starter set and now bought a german army on Ebay with the Fortress Europe book and the army cards. The "Panzerlied" you played in the end is verboten in Germany now. Inwonder what tye police would do, if they heard it thru on open window? I am also a certified "Kriegsdienstverweigerer".

Some people p;lay with unpainted minis. It is not my firs choice, but plenty of people play that way

do the tanks come pre painted? Or do we need to assemble and paint them? Does the set come with any terrain?

No to both mate, this set is all about the plastic kits. Same models are in the World of Tanks Miniatures games and they come pre-assembled.

Great battle report. Just got this set and working through painting the models. Can you tell me what size the table is you’re using here?

You can comfortably play 75 points. Anything bigger you need to think about what armies you are wanting to play. Higher quality armies are okay, but they horde army will fill the board.

Great BatRep! I'm thinking about getting one flames of war starter packs. Not exactly sure if i go with "hit the beach" or "clash of steel"..... I think clash of steel will have a better saving but hit the beach seems like a better balanced set ... an sadly quite older :/ One question to you guys .... where can i buy this tiny houses?
