Campaign Mega Game - Turn #8 Round Up: The Germans Win El Alamein!

133 Comments

And so we come to the end of the Mega Game...and the end of the Flames Of War 4th Edition Boot Camp.

The Germans have rerouted history and changed things in their favour. Now the Germans might be able to delay future endeavours by the Allies and stop their plans.

It's now up to you gamers to find out what happened next. If you play out some games following on from this we'd love to hear from you.

Thank you for watching and following along!

Thank you to Beast of War and Battlefront for setting up and sharing this event with the world. It’s been fun to be a part of remotely. I hope to see more events like this and will be frequenting Beast of War much more in the future.

Yup, a boot camp is on my bucket list too. Talk about a close game. I guess Jim held out after all. It wasn’t looking so good from this side of things!

I held out until the end of Turn 8, when the game was officially called. Then we went on to “Free Gaming.” Well, for those of us still on the table, the choice was clear. They may not be still keeping score but we still wanted to finish the battle to the bitter finish! I was finally destroyed by a combined drive of @bothi and @johnlyons ‘ tanks on Turn 12, with the game finally coming to an end on Turn 13. I think Mark’s tanks were the last Germans to finally be destroyed on the table just south of… Read more »

I am very impressed with everything I saw this weekend. The game looks like they went in the right direction. The plastic model kits all seem to be top notch. The kits are easy to put together and paint, but they also offer enough detail for you to back to work on them and make an incredible army out of them. The campaign and mega battle were both brilliant ideas for the boot camp and I hope to see more of them in the future

The campaign combined with the massive final battle really added to the interest. Of course this could be taken further – oriskany mentioned the impact of logistics, repairs, battlefield engineering, recon, airsupport and so on so the concept can be taken a very long way further along for those with the time and enthusiasm (and plenty of table space) 🙂

Absolutely, @dorthonion – as far as campaign games go, this campaign game was a starting point, nothing more.

Nope, my formation commander tank was bailed out and failed its remount check (finally) and my last tank (I only had two at that point) left the field per the formation morale rules. So by piling onto the engine deck, we were able to get our survivors and wounded out of there. Fight another day!

More Oriskaney is certainly no bad thing. I’d like to see some more of his articles again as well.
