Brother Glacius Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Wondering if people would like to schedule a v4 game day somewhere? With two books, shouldn't be hard to get a spread of DAK and 8th army forces out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Excellent idea! Read this and have a desire to participate, but I need to coordinate my schedule on some other events before I can commit to a date and place on this suggestion.

Gordianus Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I would be interested in participating. My mid war guys have been gathering a lot dust (and not from the desert). I have both Brits and DAK and 50 points would be a fun starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentP Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I'm in. Just bought the Desert Rats box, plus the book, plus the paint set. It's been at least 7-8 years since I've played, so would welcome the chance for somebody to show me what to do 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 If its just a few of us, we could probably do it at a home instead of a game store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 Id say best way is for Brother Glacius to simply name a date, place and time in the subject line, commit personally to being there no matter what. Then whoever can make it can post "Im making it" or just show up. Much easier for people seeing it to start their planning than to group think a date. After all, just cause you cant go to the first one doesnt mean you cant make the second one! Food for thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey9 Posted April 15, 2017 Report Share Posted April 15, 2017 I would love to join this. Don't have MW but would love the chance to walk it through. Could easily come up with some proxies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brother Glacius Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Well it looks like we have enough where we will want to meet at a store. I'll start looking at dates that work and then contact GG to reserve a couple of tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 So after a quick gander, how does the afternoon of 4/30 sound? That is a Sunday afternoon. I'll need to check with GG to see if they will have tables available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godfrey9 Posted April 17, 2017 Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 I think I can make it. A specific time would determine that and I understand that's up to GG's availability. Side question, I am looking at some of the V4 box sets. Is the starter German/British tank pack the way to go? I have been thinking about running a MW German panzer army and the panzer box with the 88's does look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The starter box - Rommel's Afrika Korps (GEAB14) - http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=144&art_id=5517&kb_cat_id=64 provides a 4-platoon force between 55 and 109 points, depending on upgrades. At $80.00 for 10 models plus the mini rule book, it is a GREAT deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 I will make it, so long as start time is not too late. My departure time will be 4:30 PM. I can bring 50 pts DAK or Desert Rats or both. Start time of noon means we get setup and started before peak time in the store (between 1 and 3 PM on Sundays) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atules Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 Hey Fellas, I'm interested! Any chance I can stop by and check it out. Play FoW back in the day and really curious about the revised rule set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEKE Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I have been going to Oregon City Geeks and Games on tuesday nights and playing Flames of War, last night, there were several newer people playing about 100pt armies of the new V4 midwar stuff and it looked like they were really enjoying it. The game seems to be picking up. If Tues nights works for anybody, OCGG is a nice place to play. They have several tables always set up and the owner has always been a FOW player.

Gordianus Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 I should be able to make this. I'll bring along 50 pts of DAK and 50 pts of Brits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2017 Sounds like we'll shoot for a noon start and most likely an all day event as long as people are willing to hang out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Reservation request put in at GG on 4/30 for two tables from noon-6pm. As soon as it is verified, I will put it on the Ordo calendar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Put Guardian Games in the subject line also. It's helpful for casual viewers to see, without digging and scrolling through. Just a suggestion. We often TRY to do it on our local forum and it usually pays dividends. Not an absolute must , but its helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Change of plans. Will miss this one. I will try to Catch the next v4 event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 Well I stuck around until about quarter till 4. I got one game in with my friend Robert. We did a 50pt tank battle. Germans won fairly convincingly, but it could have been from lack of available tanks. Not quite sure how I'm digging the new "make an army" rules. Leaves you with a lot less for options than before. Play was fine though, but still issues with determining concealment and a few other bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 We should do video reports of some games. That would be cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
