Justin & Chris Checks Out a 20ft D-Day Gaming Table
So, we talked about a massive D-Day tabletop here at the Battlefront Open Day. So, Chris and Justin get stuck into a discussion on it and talk about the way it came together and how they hope to play out games of it here throughout the day.
Let us know which side you’d be wanting to play as, and what your tactics are for getting off the beach. Make sure to go and check out Breakthrough Assault as they do awesome blogs on everything Flames Of War and beyond.
Breakthrough Assault Reacts To Flames Of War Seminar!
We talked with Mark from Breakthough Assault about his thoughts on what was revealed as part of the seminar today looking to the future of not just Late War Flames Of War but also Team Yankee!
There is a lot to look forward to as they explore the various factions for the game in more detail plus delve into something new for Team Yankee as it heads into the 90s AND becomes World War III.
Team Yankee - Israelis VS Syrians In A Cold War Gone Hot
We talked with the club behind this neat looking Team Yankee tabletop which has players getting stuck into a clash between Israelis and Syrians.
It’s fascinating seeing the change in technology as we look towards the 80s and these assisted tanks with all the bells and whistles! Are you enjoying some Team Yankee right now?
Exploring Kevin's Juno Beach Table
One of the awesome tabletops that we saw here this weekend was this brilliant Juno Beach tabletop from Kevin. This is a full on labour of love and is a wonderful and (as close as) accurate representation of what they would have been facing during the invasion attempt.
It features lots of great infantry, tanks and those massive landing craft too which are a joy to behold.
That's A Wrap For Battlefront Open Day 2019
Well, that is a wrap for the Battlefront UK Open Day here in Nottingham. We have had a lot of fun delving into all of the creative endeavours that folks have got up to and it will be great to see what you thought now so many of you are delving into Late War adventures in Flames Of War.
Make sure to let us know in the comments what caught your eye from the day and you could win yourself that awesome D-Day American Starter Bundle.

Thanks for the coverage.
No worries – hope you enjoy some of the videos we’ve got coming up of the tables. They are pretty killer!
The Bastogne table just reminded me so much of the Band of Brothers episode, especially the dug in infantry.
Yeah, I was immediately thinking about that too!
Great stuff. Will you be covering the seminars?
We plan to film the seminars and *fingers crossed* we’ll be able to put them up as VoDs.
I’m looking forward to your coverage…
Life ment that my wife and I couldn’t attend today.
I’m watching the coverage from a labour ward now….
We need Dr Dave on OTT soon please.
Best wishes and hope it all goes well!
We miss you Dr. Dave. Best wishes to your wife and family. We just had a new addition to our family as well. Enjoy the moment
Well Done!
Bringing in a new Flames of War player the old fashioned way! ??
Congrats hope all is going well. Many here really want to see you and @warzan duke it out with v4.
Wishing you and your family all the best. Hope to see you back on OTT battling your way through v4 really soon!
Looking forward to what the day has to bring.
I like big bundles and I cannot lie.
Anything new coming for Tanks the Modern Age?
I’d guess that anything in Team Yankee will eventually make its way into Tanks ?
Looks like Q1 2020 for the plastic Challenger 🙂 Fingers crossed.
are those beach trenches custom built? looks rather mint!
Yep, that’s an entirely custom table done by up a great group.
Aargh! Another relatively local event that life has prevented me from attending, thank the God of gamers that OTT can bring it to us instead.
Great looking tables and from the pictures everyone looks to be really enjoying themselves. Have a good day and I look forward to seeing more.
I’ve just parchased the starter kit from BOW so I’m finally going to dip my toes into the historical waters. Excited to see what’s going on today.
don’t melt @brennon
Nice work.
The boards look amazing as always
This comment/question is more directed towards Battlefront but any info would be appreciated.
First question is….Can we expect any events like this in the USA? I keep seeing all these great events in the UK and I am so jealous….lol
Second question….What suggestions do you have to help make FOW bigger in my area? There are a very loyal core group of us that play in my area and people will stop and watch us play entire games that don’t currently play FOW. Only problem is none of the local stores carry the product. I think if we had events like this in my area the interest would increase significantly.
Last comment….Thanks to OTT for posting this content. I really enjoy reading and watching.
Too far for me to travel but looks good. Just have look at the updates.
I’ve been looking forward to this since the Boot camp coverage.
Bring on the goodness OTT! ??
More battlefront yeeeeee!
Thanks for covering Battlefront Open Day!
Looks great fun.
Love the tables.
Great stuff.
Been so long since I built anything WW2. Have fond memories of some of those kits as a child…
The Bren Carrier was always a favourite, but I have a soft spot for Tank Transporters because my dad used to drive them after the war.. collecting discarded german tanks from the desert.
excellent. I really appreciate the coverage OTT gives to events like these.
well done to Ben and Justin for partaking in this endeavor.
This looks like it was a good time, thanks for the coverage!
Thank you for the good news
What wonderful venue! A really beautiful lodge building, I wish ours in he states had bars in them but, that is why we started the Shriners.
Great coverage can’t wait for some of the new goodies to get here.
Man the wargaming tables are so nice! But is the event limited to Gale Force 9’s product lines?
I dont envy you for this. Looks like fun, but working out in this heat watching people chill and drink when you can’t, can’t have been the best.
The seminars were interesting , and see the lads have them above in the blog entries, some nice stuff coming out for Tame Yankee …….yes Challengers for the British…..
Good day , out bumped into Martin and Micheal who had an interesting couple ww2 memorabilia.
Justin updated me on his latest 3 d print of a 40k Grenade.
Only downside of day was the overcrowded train from Nottingham to Brum which stopped at every bus stop, had no central heating , was feeling ok before got on , totally buggered when got off.
Looks like it was a fab day. I’m pretty excited for the Dune game (even though I snagged an original on eBay recently for a not insignificant sum!!), a shiny new copy will stand up to more rigorous gameplay than the old one!!
15mm Dune game..? Holy crap, yes please.
Many thanks for the coverage guys. ??
When will Battlefront start releasing stuff for Early War again?
Just starting on Flames of War. This looks awesome! Let`s see how deep this rabbit hole goes.
Wish there was more interest in historic in the US
