Games by BattleFront

I conducted some of my first large scale terrain experiments earlier last year while building a series of terrain display boards for my 15mm FOW armies. The basic elements I used were pretty effective and I had plans to make some more this winter and spring.
We welcome back Ed in this episode and he and Austin talk about your favorite game,,, Flames of War!

As soon as I have made a new list, I simply HAVE to try it out. It is how I am. I find it very hard to play the exact same list over and over, even if I envy the players who do that, and by doing that, gets to know their list very well.
This is, however, the reason why I like making Tactical Suggestions. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, nor do I assume I’m always right, but I like to share my thoughts and experiences, in the hope that other players can be inspired.

I took a look at the early vehicles from the collection at the King of Jordan Royal Tank Museum. This time, I will share photos from the post-WWII eras.

Last winter when Battlefront announced the return to late-war in V4 my heart began to pound a little faster as I’ve always been a big fan of the M8 Greyhounds and Jeeps of the US Cavalry. I immediately examined the announced title page of the US D-Day book and was a little upset to learn that there was no Reconnaissance formation listed for the United States. And worse, upon examination, I realized that the Germans, British, and Russians all had a reconnaissance formation on their title pages. So with much trepidation, I’ve been awaiting word of what is going on with my beloved US Cavalry.
On Saturday, August 3rd, Mythicos Games, along with Tom “Chairborne” Mullane, will be hosting a Flames of War tournament using the new Late War points and books.

At any time, when I participate in a tournament, I have to choose what to field. Most gamers I know change their list from tournament to tournament. In parts because of points, restrictions or new lists being available, but for me, it’s also to continue trying out new things with old lists and seeing how they work.
In this article, I will try to give you a day-by-day look at how I plan my lists for a tournament that I participate in.
As I write this, I’m two months away from my next tournament. This is a great time to begin thinking about the list I want to bring to the event.
Hey gang, Matt Varnish here, and I drove down from Canada with my buddies Scott and Rob Kelly and we entered the Team Yankee Nationals. I brought the Syrians, Scott brought West Germans and Rob took his Canadians. I ended up playing four great people: Robb Carper, Nick Reid, Frank Paixao and Mason Partak I took a metric ton of pics, here we go, first off with Armies on Parade (before the event started).
Embarking on a Great Crusade D-Day Mega-Game
The Huntsville Historical Gamers gathered on 8 June to recreate the Allied Invasion of Europe. Operation Overlord was the codename for the Allied invasion of northwest Europe. The assault phase of Operation Overlord, was known as Operation Neptune. Operation Neptune began on D-Day (6 June 1944) and ended on 30 June 1944. By this time, the Allies had established a firm foothold in Normandy. Operation Overlord also began on D-Day, and continued until Allied forces crossed the River Seine on 19 August 1944.
