Brother Glacius Posted October 17, 2023 Report Share Posted October 17, 2023 I got a late war us armored box...and that was fantastic...highly recommend it. https://www.flamesofwar.com/online_store.aspx?CategoryID=13783 from their web site. This is the us box I got: https://www.flamesofwar.com/Default.aspx?tabid=79&CategoryID=13790&PageIndex=5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowFortress Posted October 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Ok thanks I'll be sure to look into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted October 19, 2023 Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Also, not sure if you are interested, but I have some 3rd edition books that I am looking to get rid of (extras). I think 3rd ed was the best one yet...they have made compromises for 4th edition and went more vehicle heavy. Anyways, if you are interested in those, let me know. The north afrika and eastern front books were amazing at just the sheer number of lists and options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowFortress Posted October 19, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2023 Yeah I've heard the 3rd was pretty good. I've never played 3rd myself but I'm interested in the idea. Is there a place where I would pick them up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted October 20, 2023 Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 If you are interested in the books that I have, then we'd probably meet at Guardian Games or WoW (ordo clubhouse). If you are looking to purchase from a store, I'd say probably mindtaker might have some copies of various 3rd ed books. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowFortress Posted October 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2023 I mean if you don't want them I'd be happy to take them. We'd just have to find a time to meet. Unfortunately my mom is the one who has to drive me so I may have to wait a while. I'll contact you when I go though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 1, 2023 Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Been looking through the Flames of War store recently and found that there are actually a few Starter armies for most of the big nations. I can't stress enough how great these box sets are. At only $110 (which means you can typically find a little cheaper online) you get a fantastic value. Each one will give you a 100pt starting force which is pretty decent, plus most should work with what you got already with the two player starter. I see the germans have three box sets giving various armor options, and US have two. You have to go through the store as they aren't all listed under the Starter subcategory. But if you browse through the box sets for each nation, you should come across them. These are hands down the best value I've seen from any company trying to help new players out. Plus, you get a free rulebook in each one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowFortress Posted November 1, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2023 Awesome 👍 I'll be sure to check them out. Thanks for telling me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Also, check out amazon. I found several different two player starters there that are silly good. Most are Germans vs Soviets...but damn. We are talking < $70 and decent sized forces. There are also a bunch of mid war sets too that I didn't know about. Like they have a complete German Grenadier force, no tanks, just infantry and guns. And Soviets have something similar. And then on the flip side, I saw some all tank starters too. So depending on what period and theater you want, there are plenty of good options. Kind of makes me wish I didn't own so much FoW already. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowFortress Posted November 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Yeah the Stalingrad and Kursk look really good. especially for 55 bucks I'll have to look into the that. Don't have any mid war yet but honestly looks better than late war. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted November 3, 2023 Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Clash of Steel looks like a late war box with Germans and Russians. Plus they also have a T-34 company box for $100 with like 21 T-34s...which is basically half off the actual cost. https://www.amazon.com/Flames-War-Late-Soviet-SUAB12/dp/B08LGXN4YS/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1GRXXB3DGW7IW&keywords=flames+of+war+t-34&qid=1699031479&sprefix=flames+of+war+t-34%2Caps%2C131&sr=8-3&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.18630bbb-fcbb-42f8-9767-857e17e03685 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowFortress Posted November 3, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2023 Oh wow. I may need to get into Eastern front clash of steel looks awesome and I just looked up the t-34 stats and they look really good. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
