dvang Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Hey guys! I'd love to attend. I'll see about penciling in Nov 14th. Question, though. What books does this actually cover? I have obviously been a bit out of the scene, so I don't know what I've missed. I've got Red Bear for soviets, which I think spans into 1945. For US, I believe the last book I have is Nuts! I don't recall exactly. I know that I don't have models for most newer US tanks, so I'd be using paras. Do the US paratroopers have a list in a later book, or will Nuts! be ok?

barca Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Dvang, Nuts does not cover 1945. If you check http://forces.flamesofwar.com/ and filter by USA, infantry, late war, you will see para, glider and ranger company lists in Road to Rome and Nachtjaeger. Digital lists are ok.

Brother Glacius Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 The online army builder is a bit hit or miss with their briefings. Are they planning to put all available briefings on it eventually? or only new stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Sorry. Not a user of digital. Don't know plans BF has for this. Will troll the BF forum for possible answer. May eventually try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taran.shannara Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 I got the long awaited soccer schedule update I've been waiting for before being able to commit. I'm good for any Saturday in Nov. I'll send email to Zeke and barca to discuss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barca Posted September 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2015 Checking on available space for 14 NOV. Once I am assured that a Release/pre-Release event does not squeeze us out, I will start a new thread with all the particulars. In the meantime -- draft your list -- paint like crazy -- brush up on the rules -- update your playbook to crush your nemesis ("Glory to the Red Army" 'Слава Красной Армии') I will also make some reservations for one or two tables for some warm-up games on 7 and 8 NOV (SAT & SUN). In case anyone wants to test-drive their list, or shake out the cobwebs from the rules compartment of their brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZeroMoon17 Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Hmmmm, I don't think I have any forces for 1945. I have the armored recon for the brits, but I can't remember the book it came in.....dang..looks like Market Garden which is 1944. Oh well. Check out Nachtjager, you can run some nasty lists with full platoons of challenger A30's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brother Glacius Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 I just got the book on the army builder. I could almost make a list using that. I'll have to play around with it a bit more. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
