I got this awesome set in a swap a while back... I forgot about it because I was more heavily involved in the hobby aspect rather than the game. Well, I've been playing a bit now finally and wanted to get this together, but I'm seeing that it's no longer in V4 (or at least, I can't find it). Anyway suggestions as to what I could run this as? My best thought was the 105mm or the m12 (just assume it is being towed at an incredibly fast rate!).

Also, anyone have ideas or clues as to why this particular model isn't supported in V4?

Thanks!

I picked up the Heavy Assault Group Soviet box for my son the other day and am working on a good German list to play him. I have only played British in FoW so I ordered the following to build a list

German Starter Force: Panzer Kampgruppe

Panzer Lehr Division Army Deal

Any advice?

Thanks

im new and looking to get into the game, can you recommend a good British starter box i should get and possibly any add ons. Thanks in advance.

I am going to post the same question here in this thread. Though it is a link to the TY thread.

Does anyone know what these items are for? They are not listed on the assembly guide.

Imagine a world where the standard for this game was mirrored tables of L shaped ruins.

I am looking to build a Modular board for Flames of War, Team Yankee, Great War and potentially Epic Battles. I like the idea of modular boards that can have terrain and layout swapped quick and easy. I think my first step is to buy some 2x4' MDF sheets and build 3 removable framed sections that can be placed on my Kitchen Table. My next step is where I am looking for guidance.

What would you recommend for the top of the Gaming Table? My consideration would be on the Cost, experience and longevity between these options.

Option1: Painting and grass flocking the sections. I do not think foaming and building directly on the MDF will be my direction as I want the utility to play a wide array of games on here. I would like to have Modular Terrain, Tress and Hills that can be quickly placed and easily modified to meet the game or scenario.

Option 2: Just buy a 6x4' Gaming Mat to place on top of the MDF pieces.

Also as I get into building Terrain, is there any resources to educate me on best practices for DIY modular hills, trees, bocage, rivers, roads? I have a 3D printer so I have no concerns on the buildings.

Hi everyone.

What infantry models do you use for early/mid war Africa theater Germans and British?

I can only find Late War models.

Cheers

Does that mean I can field a hero Shock Rifle battalion as my mais formation, and a single Hero T-34 85mm Company as a support, or do I have to field a whole T-34 battalion?

Me and my bro are getting back into FoW with the Eastern Front and want to get the Bagration books. Is it worth waiting for the updated combined book aaaaaaall the way in August *ADHD sigh* or is it safe to just get the current books due to impatience? 😅

Thanks!

Do the users in this sub buy/sell/trade here too or do you restrict it to r/miniswap?

It came with a QR code to scan but the link doesn’t work

Hi all. Just a quick question about a game I had today.

There was this mortar unit composed by two mortars. One was deployed inside a building and the other outside.

The unit was shooting normally following the artillery rules for reduced teams (re-roll hits etc.).

After reading the rules I understood that the team outside can shoot normally but it feels odd that they could.

Rules say:

• ⁠Teams cannot fire a Bombardment if they Moved (unless they are Aircraft), failed a Blitz Move order, attempted to Dig In, are in a Building, or are Pinned Down. Teams that fire a Bombardment cannot Assault this turn.

• ⁠If a Unit fires a Bombardment, all of its Teams with Artillery weapons must either fire as part of the Bombardment or not fire at all. Other Teams can still Shoot as normal.

What is a bit confusing to me is:

• ⁠all of its Teams with Artillery weapons must either fire as part of the Bombardment or not fire at all.

From one side I understand that if they don’t ALL fire, they don’t fire at all, but also, I understand that only can fire in one bombardment or not at all.

Probably the second one but I wanted to listen to what you think.

Thanks in advance

Im thinking of adding a banner to one of the soldiers in my soviet hero shock rifle battalion HQ. would that be permitted? And How historically accurate would that be? Ive seem a lot of art of soviets charging into battle with flags, but I know It could Just be propaganda.

I'm looking to get some of the supplement books, like D-Day: British and Bulge: British for reference material to make authentic brigades and platoons. I know from Team Yankee they have the formation break down, equipment as well as quantities and it's fairly accurate from my Cold War research. Can the same be said about the Flames of War books?

For reference, I'm wanting to use them as reference for Bolt Action since they don't really provide any specific brigade breakdown. But this sample I've seen from Flames of War, is much more what I'm looking for in a specific unit.

I have some ww2 minis and I would like to know if I can use both for dioramas and stuff.

I noticed that Bunker Killer rule says:

Bunker Killer teams can hit Nest and Bunker teams despite being an Artillery Bombardment

Nest says nothing about not being able to be hit by artillery:

"Nest: The Nests are always Concealed and in Bulletproof Cover.

Teams attacking a Nest must re-roll successful Firepower tests to Destroy it.

Nests cannot Charge into Contact."

Does this mean that under normal circumstances, artillery cannot hit units with the "Nest" rule? i.e. Pakfront

or am i not understanding another fundamental rule that is coming into play?
