About Flames of War:
Flames of War (abbreviated as FoW) is a World War II tabletop miniatures wargame produced by the New Zealand company Battlefront Miniatures Ltd.
Flames of War allows players to wargame company level battles from the European, Pacific and North African Theatres of World War Two, using 1/100 scale miniatures (15 mm figure scale) and miniature armour.

Gameplay takes place over a series of turns, with players alternating movement, shooting and close assault. This simple sequence of play, often called "I-Go, You-go", helps people who are unfamiliar with wargames or who are familiar with other games with a similar structure to quickly learn the rules. The game is optimised for two players, although it can be played by a larger number of players playing against each other or grouped in teams.

Play revolves around company-level tactics, with each stand or element representing an infantry fireteam (half-squad/section), an artillery piece and its crew, or a single vehicle (such as a tank, jeep, or armoured car). Air support is also available, in the form of fighter bombers and ground attack aircraft, with aircraft generally being represented by 1:144 scale models.The 4th Edition rules were released in March, 2017.

Had two Great Eastern Front clashes as ZEKE test ran two heavy tank lists.

Lazarus and I teamed up to run a German list: tiger unit, pz IIIs and Marders and some very nervous, but brave Grenadiers, ...

facing the onslaught of Churhills, KVs, Valentines, Katyushka Rocket launchers and a scout platoon.

It looked really awesome from what I was seeing.  🙂
