That’s it for Day One of the Flames of War D-Day Boot Camp. Even as we finish up, people are still feverishly hobbying to get their armies ready.
Make sure to come back tomorrow to see how the Boot Campers get on in their games of Flames of War, and remember to leave a comment for your chance to win one of three Flames of War Bundles.
Loved the coverage of Day 1,i look forward to Day 2 and 3 with much excitement and anticipation.
This is pretty exciting. Couldn’t follow live, but I’m catching up with the day’s activities now. Really cool concept guys, appreciate it.
Don’t you ever bring the pub to you for these weekends? Do a quick off licence run for everyone and stock up on beer and pretzels?
Being following Day 1, but working in the morning and the in-laws arrive for a visit, so will have to catch-up on day 2. Mind you on Sunday I’m at Broadside in Sittingbourne helping run the club participation game, so will have to catch-up on Day 3 as well.
Argh I’m trying to get my bolt action finished and am now dragging out my old unfinished late war fow Americans. Going to be a summer of Normandy for sure. Looking forward to tomorrow’s update. Nice one guys
Great job lads, enjoy your evening because WAR begins tomorrow!
Looks like great fun! And commemorating an event that should never be forgotten!
2019 invasion postponed due to lack of fit troops? Lol
Folks, send those new players over to the Flames OF War Ireland Facebook page. I’ve been trying to get new players into the game for years, but the scene nose dived after the release of V4. We used to have 5-6 tournaments a year. There were 2 last year and there has be 1 this year, with a grand total of 5 participants. We need more interest in the game accross the whole of Ireland!
I’d really appreciate if you would name drop our page and we can have a chance at rebuilding what was once a fantastic Flames Of War community across the whole of Ireland.
I’ll poke the guys in the morning, some of the attendees are even resident in ireland… most aren’t mind you
Many thanks. I think one of them joined today. I’d love to get the game back on its feet again.
Thanks for all the great Day 1 coverage. Looking forward to following Days 2 and 3.
So are the youngbloods able to go to the pub? They don’t look old enough, I know the UK drinking age is lower than here in the USA but they still look too young.
no they had to stand outside in the rain while the others drank 😉
Really wish I could have made this one.
Lucky! I’m a teacher who’s still in school… But at least I can catch the weekend activities.
@warzan good luck with late night hobbying.
Guys, looking forward to days 2 and 3
Great vids
Having played warhammer for many years, I’m really excited about the idea of this game. Been a huge ww2 buff my entire life, so if you’re telling me I can slam panzer’s down my opponents throat on the tabletop I’m IN! Look forward to tomorrow’s coverage guys.

Question, what’s the standard table size for this game?
I can happily recommend FoW as a great game.Lots of interesting details.
Great job.
What you guys do about spreading the hobby is great, keep it up.
Hi Lego Dwarf,
They ot me into it and I’m enormosly grateful for the introduction, and the fun gaming experience.
PUB!!!
I dig the Boot camp format, keep it up!
Gonna check out the live coverage on Day 2. The tables look great gents!
Warren looks happy!
Just getting started in this awesome game, stoked for the informative blog posts!
Would be awesome if your American counterparts over here had a place to do bootcamps on this side of the pond. So jealous.
I served on the USS Normandy CG60 for 4 years. We had a challenge coin made in the style of one of the Higgins boats making it’s landing along with the badges of every company that made landing.
Looks like a good time
Awesome guys. I can’t wait to see more 🙂
That sure looked like a very productive day!
Looking forward to some late war!
I have loved this game since I found versions 1 & 2 . I wish I could be there with you.
Those tables look awesome guys. Wish I could have made it there too.
Hope you all have a blast this weekend. The new sets look very tempting.
Warren staying on late – I foresee a surprise return of his Nachtwulfen Stugs and tankriders
Looks good Guys, wish i had been able to join, for hobby/pub fun…
But keep the fun going.
P.s keep the one dane away from sharp things (you know Who)
Love the hobby but looking forward to some gameplay too – I’d have 8 fingers glued together by this point!
Awesome stuff guys. So wanted to go, but with three kids below 5 it was too hard a sell. Well in due time I can convert them into players I guess:)
Bright and early after the pub……. It’s going to be either early and wasted or bright and late I assume.
A bit of late night basing eh @warzan, you’ve been talking to @noyjatat and his joy of midnight hobbying haven’t you! ??
Great day. I enjoyed the coverage. Now relax.
liked the coverage even though ww2 in not really my thing
Puuuuub!
Slow start tomorrow then 😉
Great coverage guys. Looking forward to seeing it all again tomorrow and Sunday
The lights go down, but do the guns go silent?
This was just as nice as a weekender. Now there are another two weekenders ahead.
looking forward to the rest of the weekends videos & posts
great first day
cant wait for more.
Warren always looks happy, but he seems even happier than usual today.
Who can blame him, I’m looking forward to the Saturday coverage and seeing some games played.
Great job guys! Enjoy the pub and we’ll see you in the morning!
Warren seems like he is in one of his superfocused modes. Looks like fun!
T(h)ank you for day one. Still catching up.
Well done all. Seriously. I’d love to be this productive.
Thanks for day 1!
Great first day. Warren skipping the pub to stay back late, if that’s not hobbying dedication and enjoyment I don’t know what is!
There is always a ‘Christmas morning from Childhood’ vibe about the Friday at a Beast’s of War Bootcamp. You get a fantastic new set of miniatures, and have to unwrap and build them so you can start gaming!
the best part of the bootcamp….. the pub. Beer’s and talking shite 😀
Yay pub!
What a great first day, looking forward to the next!
Looks like everyone had a lot of fun. I know that I would have.
