  3. Interest in a FoW Campaign @GG?

    in Flames of War

    Posted

    OK,

    Focusing on the Firestorm campaigns, unless someone has one of the Boxed Firestorm sets (Bargation or Market-Garden), then the options are the limited to the online resources:

    http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=4501

    Firestorm: Norway (EW)
    Firestorm: Caen (LW)
    Firestorm: Overlord (--huge--) (LW)
    Firestorm: Cherbourg & St. Lô (LW)
    Firestorm: Lorraine (LW)
    Firestorm: Greece (EW, Burning Empires)
    Firestorm: Warsaw (LW)
    Firestorm: Villers-Bretonneux (WWI)

    Firestom Boxed Sets:
         Firestorm Market Garden: Downloadable Resources
              http://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&art_id=1938
                   I don't think that this can be played without the box set.

         These boxed sets appear to be discontinued and out of stock in the popular outlets.
              Flames of War: Firestorm Market Garden
                 out-of-stock: http://www.thewarstore.com/product53451.html

              Flames of War: Firestorm Bagration
                  Perhaps a used copy at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Flames-War-Bagartion-Firestorm-Campaign/dp/B001TIDA4U

              Bagration and Market Garden Might be available on eBay

     

    I took a quick look at the nationalities and types of forces for a few of the online Firestorm Campaigns:

     

    Firestorm Lorraine: Mini Campaign
    http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=3303
    US Armor
    US Inf
    Free french Armor (2DB)
    GE Panzer
    GE PzGren
    GE Inf
        Comment on the FoW page: " Ideally you should play forces from Blood Guts and Glory for this Campaign and the other forces from Turning Tide and Earth and Steel. There are also good Briefings on the 17. SS-Panzergrenadierdivision “Götz von Berlichingen” and French 2éme Division Blindée on the Flames of War website. Likewise if you all agree you should also play using only M4, M4A1, M4A1 (76mm) and all M4A3 versions since other Shermans had not yet entered service."

    Firestorm: Caen
    http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=3924
    BR Para
    BR Arm
    BR Inf

    CAN Inf
    CAN Arm
    GE Wehrmacht Panzer
    GE Wehrmacht Inf
    GE SS Panzer
    GE SS PanzerGren

    Firestorm: Cherbourg & St. Lô
    http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=4550
    US Armor
    US Inf (Leg, Para, Ranger)
    US Mech/Cav
    GE Wehrmacht Panzer (Pz Lehr, StuG & captured French)
    GE Wehrmacht Inf
    GE SS Panzer
    GE SS PanzerGren
     

    So I suggest you look at the details, spread the word, and decide when we want to get a group vote.

     

    I have no preference, since I only have Russians painted, at the moment.

     

    I have unpainted germans, so I could paint them up for MW or LW:

      -- 5xTiger IE (Panzers Marsh!) (MW, LW)

      -- 5x StuG G Plt (MW, LW)

      -- 5x Panzer IV J (LW)

      -- 1x PanzerGren Platoon (Gepanzert)

  19. FoW Game Night at GG - Jan 22

    in Game Night

    Posted

    Thur, 22 Jan, I am bringing 1000 pts of EW Soviet Strelkovy (partially painted) to GG. Embarrased at the incomplete state of my army, but I need the practice for the Feb 21 Early War tourny.

    The Kommissar has shot the offending Quartermaster.

    My raw recruits will be fully painted and properly flocked next week. The new quartermaster is issuing uniforms. He also called in landscapers to complete the base flocking.

    Hopefully, the Komissar will be pleased on the 29th.

     

    If you don't have EW, but can bring a MW army, I can use Strelkovy in Mid-war battle.  I have mid-war arsenal pages.

  22. 1550pt "WW2 Begins" Early War FOW Tournament, official thread

    in Flames of War

    Posted

    replied in the Yahoo group as "grognard fow", but I will re-post here:

     

    I am game for the tournament, but I avoid Paypal when I can.
    Prefer to pay in person at GG, if possible.

    As for the army list, I am set on:
    -- Allies, Soviet Strelkovy (Red Army) from the Barbarossa book.
    Army Type confirmed (I don't have EW allies painted up, yet), but the exact list is not final.
    Before sending in a detailed list, I want to playtest some support options.

    I expect to have:
    1000 pts ready by Thursday, 22 JAN
    1250 pts ready by Thursday, 29 JAN,
    and
    1550 pts ready by Thursday, 5 FEB.

    I plan on being at GG every Thursday night from now until the tournament, to try out my Russians, and get hands-on experience with the 3rd Ed FoW rules.

    This Thursday, 15 Jan, I won't have anything ready to put on the table, but am willing to team up with whomever shows up and borrow an army, or be a 2iC. Doesn't have to be EW. Does not have to be Russians, either. Any experience is good.
