Boot Campers Prepare For War!
The Boot Campers are arriving and everyone is already getting stuck into their building their armies.
The Hit The Beach Box comes with two complete forces; one for the Germans and one for the Americans. This means there are plenty of models for everyone to get hobbying.
First Time Flames Of War
Some of our Boot Campers already have their armies out on the table and are preparing to get stuck in to their first game of Flames of War.
Gerry takes these new recruits through their paces on the gaming table.
It's Painting Time!
With their armies assembled, many of the Boot Campers are taking the next stage to get their Flames of War armies ready for war by adding some paint.
Already, we’re starting to see some cool things going on with these, including the beginning of some nice basing effects.
The Americans Are Coming With Victor's Big Four Of Late War
Over at Battlefront’s Big Four Of Late War, Victor Pesch has sided with the Americans.
Victor decided to go for the Americans for the simple reason that he has not made an army of them before! Plus, it gives him a chance for lots of lots of Shermans.
You can read more about his army plans over at Big Four Of Late War.
I am really looking forward to the d-day coverage on youtube, and the new models and books that come out!
Woohoo – been refreshing all afternoon to catch the start of the coverage – let the armchair wargaming commence!
Haha, I know, right? cant wait to follow this event.
Will be here watching as couldnt make it across for this one 🙁
On the up side I’m with you in spirit, sat here painting up a US Armoured Rifle Platoon
It should be fun to see how things turn out.
Looking forward to watching the boot camp coverage!
Can’t wait to see how this weekend unfolds
That colours of war book looks to be a great resource, and these new starter bundles seem a great deal.
I’d say it is a must-buy for anyone playing FoW or Team Yankee, because it covers stuff that the building instructions don’t explain (like the explanation of the various markings)
Any idea the price on the starter set?
Nice tables there guys and thanks for giving those of us at home a chance at earning a small portion of hobby heaven.
I love Bootcamp weekends. Maybe one day I will make it over for one, but until then I will live vicariously through all of you. =)
Having been to two I can say it’s definitely worth it.
A D-Day event with multiple boards is definitely gonna be good!
I hope the Beasts post an compilations video on youtube like they did with the UKGE. That made it so much easier to see all the content and was a great success for me
Great job that you and Battlefront teamed up to mark this anniversary
I got next to nothing done last weekend, thanks to your live blogs from UKGE. Looks like this weekend is going to be a write-off too! (but in a good way, you know what I mean…)
Will be glued to the boot camp all weekend, my Hit the Beach arrived today so I can join in all the fun.
What a great way to celebrate the 75th anniversary of D-day. I was lucky enough to be at Omaha beach on the 70th anniversary 5 years ago and it was a highlight of my life. The history, the sacrifices and the stories were just so awesome. Glad to see Flames of War still going strong, love that game, just need my super microscope glasses when it comes to painting the soldiers. Have a great camp fellas.
This series has been awesome. I think Battlefront has hit this one out of the park.
The tables look great….I just wish I could be in the UK and be able to take part in this event. Warren….I was hoping to see you and Dr. Dave reunited for some D-Day action.
he would have been if Mrs Dr Dave wasn’t due with a tiny Dr Davelet ^^
The tables are looking good
Have a great weekend guys and girls, gutted I couldn’t be there!
The tables look great and definitely picked up a few ideas for easy to store scenery. Thanks
This is going to be awesome!
Can’t wait for all the D-Day boot vamp coverage on YouTube!
Looking forward to this weekends video content. Tables look fantastic so everyone have a great time.
Wish I could join you for one of these. I just don’t have the money or the annual leave, sadly.
I want to win something. But this stuff looks so cool. I have to get something, but what? Also I will not be able to get anything anytime soon. As funds are to tight to get anything for the summer at least.
