taran.shannara Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 I'm checking to see if there would be enough interest for a mid-war pseudo-Stalingrad east front based tournament around Oct. meaning, only lists out of the book "Eastern Front" would be allowed. Tournament would be held in Portland. Forces from book include: Germans Finnish Hungarian Italian Romanian Soviet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mightyatom13 Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Haven't played FoW in a year or more, but this would drag me out. Also, I have a ton of Stalingrad terrain and would love to see it get used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taran.shannara Posted June 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Good to see there is good interest. I'm in the process of securing space at Guardian Games for the tournament. I will post when I have it confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taran.shannara Posted June 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 So, I know someone will ask.... From the BF website regarding midwar monsters and nationals this year.... "So, in answer to your questions, Mid-War monsters are not to be used at this Historicon EXCEPT according the to official Return of the Monsters briefing here: http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=3757TournamentsThe following Mid-war Monsters can be used in any Flames Of War tournament:■ Any German company may replace all of its Schwere Panzer Platoons with Schwere Panzer (Porsche) Platoons, and replace all Tiger I E tanks in the Company HQ with Tiger (P) tanks at no cost.■ You may field Dicker Max and Sturer Emil in an Experimental Tank-hunter Platoon in place of a Tank-hunter Platoon in Eastern Front.■ You may field 8.8cm Flak18 Sfl in a Bunker Flak Platoon in Eastern Front.■ You may field Panzer I F in an Infantry Tank Platoon in place of an Assault Tank Platoon in Eastern Front.■ A Soviet force, excluding a Mixed Tankovy Batalon, may replace any or all of its Medium Tankovy Companies with Eksperimental Tankovy Companies. If it is a Tankovy Batalon it can purchase the Command tank in the Battalion HQ as a T-43 medium tank for 95 points.These all have seen some, although limited, action."

generalripphook Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 There is currently a ongoing battle of Kursk going on in Bellingham. Pretty much every week we upscale the points and fight another large Kursk themed battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generalripphook Posted June 9, 2014 Report Share Posted June 9, 2014 Well so far its a stalemate with both forces having won an equal amount of games. We are building up to a ponyri station battle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Gould Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 For the Kursk conversation, perhaps a new topic, so as to un-threadjack the current one? For the original topic: why 1,485? Is this just an odd number to match the Nationals, or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Hanaur Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I just sold all the Rusians I've ever (very briefly) owned. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolo Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'm not opposed to 1,485 ... it will be a challenge for sure ... especially for mid war Axis ... but I am not opposed to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taran.shannara Posted June 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Yes, that is what 2014 mid-war Nationals is set at. I see 1485*, 1500*, 1550, 1625, 1650, 1750 being used on BF forums for mid-war (mw). Asterisk ones seen most popular. For the Kursk conversation, perhaps a new topic, so as to un-threadjack the current one? For the original topic: why 1,485? Is this just an odd number to match the Nationals, or something else?

dvang Posted July 8, 2014 Report Share Posted July 8, 2014 Ooo, I haven't played FOW in a while either, but would be willing to play. Unfortunately, the only Soviets I have are a few infantry and IS-2s, which won't work for mid-war unless I can proxy them as other tanks. Maybe if I proxy my US para figures as soviet infantry I could bring something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
