Brother Glacius Posted April 19, 2021 Report Share Posted April 19, 2021 Hey Guys, For those of you still playing FoW, what do you think of the current state of the game? Flames used to be my favorite game. I thought 3rd ed was fantastic and my armies really grew during that edition. 4th came out and I had trouble with the loss of so many units and the change in direction it seemed to me, to a more tank-centric game. My collection has been gathering dust and I've not played a game in years. That pains me as I really enjoyed the game. One of the things that BF promised was that over time, they would release rules for the units left out of the first releases. So I'm curious if they have kept their word on that. Anyways, I'm just really curious as to how the game is now and would appreciate your insight and thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fingolfen Posted April 20, 2021 Report Share Posted April 20, 2021 I've played a little Team Yankee, but not Fow. Too much stuff taken out. Some of it has slowly come back in, but by then the player base here seemed to have deteriorated badly. I may build up one of my very late war armies once those come out, though. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEKE Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I am still playing. There have been limited weekly games in Oregon City on Tuesday nights. Recently put together & painted "Death or Glory" boys squadron (MidWar Brit). I started with the formation in the Armored Fist book, then used a couple command cards. In the end, it's the same pieces acting the same manner as they did in previous editions. Everything is more ... ala-cart. As for 4th edition play style; - If you are more into Fun, this is better as the rules are less boggy and the Unit & command cards are awesome. - If you are more into historical, the older editions have more & delve in deeper. Me personally, I have always enjoyed each of the editions and since I am more into the painting & just playing around, 4th ed is good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted April 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I've been playing since 2nd edition basically (just started when 1st ended) and so I got really spoiled by the choices of 3rd. I loved the big compilation books, so many options. 4th just slapped me across the face with its limited units. I really do need to get over it though as I love Flames. Is there anywhere in Portland to play? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zcaust83 Posted April 24, 2021 Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 started playing this 4th edition last year and I like it a lot. I haven't been able to get any games though now that Tuesdays are out for me due to work. I have been playing team yankee in 6mm here at home as well and really enjoy it. Future reference: I have a 6x4 table and terrain here if anyone would like to schedule a game, there is ample parking. too much more of this non-playing though and i will be forced to offload my collection lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
