Test, Test this is a weekender test. Do i win?

I have been eying 15mm ww2 for a while and just got the new d-day box that I am working on assembling. Def looking forward to building out my german and american forces, which is what I would do if I won this. OTT is def on of the contributing factors to getting into it from the beginning!

We welcome our new Bonecast overlord,

can they play Flames of War too?

From the Hit the Beach starter, the D-Day releases and the current support for Hobby leagues at FLGSs, Battlefront are doing a lot right to win new/returning FOW players.

That is a great prize.
Already jealous of the one that’s going to win it.
I have to get that German D-Day book. I think it will be more fun to put together a more historical army in stead of the more generic lists in Fortress Europe.

“As someone who always wanted a sisters of battle army, but never had the chance to do so. but now that they are in plastic …….” Sorry they have lost their feminists. They are transgender Guard.

My husband has been wanting to get back into FoW. Great giveaway!

2 points AND another upcoming Infinity campaign, you say?… very.. very interesting…

I really did appreciate the discussion of the ‘start’ of WW2 as that was all very new info to me and quite interesting to hear about and think about the ramifications of how things could have gone very differently… although there is quite a lot of “what if’s” about WW2 which I guess do help with gaming possibilities. Keep up the great chat.

In a slightly different vein… I’m kind of surprised you are taking the Golden Buttons and such to backstage. That seems like something that front stage only folks would be interested in and does this mean you’ll be limiting Golden Buttons to only Backstage members?

And finally.. one last thought about youtube… I get your issues with them, but perhaps referring to back-stagers as ‘cultists’ is not going to help your popularity with youtube’s bots… or is that the idea? lol

I want to put the catapult legs onto a Deathguard Plagueburst crawler and have it running around on lots of little legs, like the Nurgle Snail mount

@warzan Poland had about 1 million men under arms but only about 2/3rds of the army was mobilized. Germany had 1.5 million just for the invasion. That didn’t count other forces theoretically available.

Poland was hopelessly outclassed in the air and badly outnumbered from the start. Having the Soviets come in was largely irrelevant. What might have happened would have been to delay the invasion of France.

Nonetheless, the Polish army fought hard against overwhelming odds. If you want to watch a really good YouTube series, check out World War 2 Week by Week. They’re covering the entire war in one week increments.

@dignity Imperium Secundus was Guillimans attempt to preserve the Imperium. At the time warp storms cut off Terra and as far as they knew, the Emperor was dead. Guilliman organized it but Lyon el Johnson opposed him. Guilliman nominated Sanguinius as the regent to rule in the Emperors name. Since he didn’t want the job, both Guilliman and Lyon agreed.

The Lyon was loyal. So was Guilliman. And Sanguinius. But each approached problems from a different viewpoint and that’s why they were in conflict.

With everyone there building FoW armies anyway, and you having players in the store too, have you considered replaying through the whole of WWII over a year or two and seeing how it turns out? If each of you heads a nation with a few players under you, and Orskeny runs the world map (as he’s good at that stuff and is trapped overseas) you could have a lot of fun and have regular interesting update videos.

I’m impressed with Plastic Alchemy for taking up the charge for home 3d printed games, I hope they aren’t too “early”

With the release of the FoW’s D-day Germans, I have additional ammo (pun intended) to convince my FLGS to get involved in the Slow Grow league.

Also I am looking forward to reading Oriskany’s forum on Poland 1939.

For the benefit of Warren, this isn’t spam.

It may look like spam and taste like spam, but I assure you it isn’t spam.

Thanks very much for the segment on Poland 1939, guys! @avernos is on the money and @warzan asks great questions! (what would it have taken, and what would have been the result). Super appreciate the acknowledgement of this key moment in history.

You guys can use Justins yellow blanket!

Im getting my brother into FoW!

great show. see you tomorrow for cult of games.

It’s Saturday! That means hitting the BoW/OTT website for a few hours, a trip out to get the ‘papers and a coffee, and a nice relaxing way to start the weekend. It’s almost become habit.
Oh yeah, the canal boat didn’t come off. So we got a campervan. Look out Beasties, just as soon as I can work out the ferry website to get a price from Holyhead to Dublin, we’ll be knocking on your door…

FoW continues to tempt. Any have any luck 3d printing 15mm scale vehicles to supplement the existing catalog?

In “Imperium Secundas” Bobby G thinks everything is lost. Due to the warp storms. He talks Sanguinias to become the new EMPEROR. Great book.

A friend of mine has just bought The flames of war ‘Hit the beach’ box, so now I have a good reason to sit down and enjoy painting some FOW tanks of my own. As a.typical British player, D-day is.my favourite WW2 setting, so the new late war sets are very tempting.

The spammers are a pain, but I guess that’s just part of the price we pay for having free access to the information on.the internet.

What best to do with a German D Day kit? Give it to a German. ME!

I would build it, play with it… and paint the Panthers all in PINK! Just like in my project 😉
