Dive Into A Flames Of War Campaign With Firestorm: Market Garden
October 21, 2022 by brennon
Battlefront Miniatures has put together a neat set of accessories and gaming material for you to use when playing Flames Of War this week. You'll be able to get your hands on some swanky stuff including the Firestorm: Market Garden campaign set.
Firestorm Campaign: Operation Market Garden // Flames Of War
Shop Flames Of War @ Store.OnTableTop
The focus of this campaign set is on getting everyone in your club or store playing together. Generals will be giving out orders whilst players play out their games and dive into all manner of different strategies that could turn the tide of the war in their favour.
Firestorm Campaign: Operation Market Garden - Kit // Flames Of War
The set comes with a big map for plotting out your movements and serves as pretty much a game in its own right in many respects. I like the idea of resisting Market Garden, especially alongside the newer British releases for Bulge and perhaps even changing the fortunes of the war. As they have said, could this end up being A Bridge Too Far?
British Gaming Sets
As well as the new Firestorm Campaign set, there are also three British-themed gaming sets that will work nicely against the Bulge: British releases that dropped over the last few week or so.
British Airborne Gaming Set // Flames Of War
Each of the sets comes with a selection of dice bearing an appropriate emblem on the face where the six would be. You also get a set of tokens for marking out particular status effects and the like on your miniatures and a big objective marker too. All of this comes in a themed tin to keep it all safe.
As well as the Airborne set, there are also two Armoured Sets that you can pick up for the 7th and 11th.
British 7th Armoured Gaming Set // Flames Of War
British 11th Armoured Gaming Set // Flames Of War
Again, they come with thematic dice, tokens and objective markers which will be handy in-game. I really like these and they seem like perfect presents for someone who is playing Flames Of War but doesn't require any new miniatures just yet. They will always end up using dice, tokens and markers though.
Organising Flames Of War Tournaments?
Last but not least, we have the Challenge Tournament Pack.
Flames Of War - Challenge Board // Battlefront Miniatures
This has been designed as a pack allowing a club or store to run a ladder-style tournament. Players will challenge each other and move up through the different levels to become the store/club champion at the end of it. Whilst you could make something like this up yourself I think it's neat that this combines all of the different elements into one pack and makes it very easy for a store to run a bunch of games.
Inside, you'll find Organiser and Player Instructions, a Challenge Board (seen above), Challenger Dog Tags and a bunch of Certificates. So, a pretty tidy set for a store that likes focusing in on Flames Of War.
Could you be tempted by some of these new accessories for Flames Of War?
"The focus of this campaign set is on getting everyone in your club or store playing together..."
Im sorry we don’t have the facilities to take you all Sorry.
Could be fun to try an get that last bridge. @oriskany ?
Hmm? I’ve been summoned @zorg?
If you think this would be a fun game for playing.?
The hard bit is to get a willing participant/victim.
Cool
Campaign could be interesting, now does it look like the players will be working from a fixed list for the campaign (I applaud that if it is so)? It looks like it might be from the images above (although as ever a LOAD of tanks and not a lot of infantry involved, but that’s how the FoW community likes things). Things like campaigns are always a MAJOR draw to me (even more so with fixed lists). I’m not a “free” list/tourney style player (which is probably the most popular playstyle for FoW), but I do like it when the game… Read more »
actually, have to say, i’m disappointed in Battlefront of late, we’ve had Market Garden out for awhile, ok, with another version but i think the content of BF has dropped. There are little new forces, mid war monsters, really not a thing i wanted to see more of, one off prototypes in combat. I know it may be , lets face it, a limited amount of new units available, so not sure how it can move forward ( early war, pacific , let’s face it , limited also. Future, i would say firestorm is the best way but Market Garden,… Read more »
This rounds off Battlefronts Late War releases nicely, pretty much everything is now covered in one way or another in both rules and miniature. Very tempted to try out the Firestorm Campaign pack, it seems very well rounded from first glance with a decent board layout. I’ll probably play it with ‘O’Group or Chain of Command though. Looking forward to seeing where battlegroup goes next with Flames of War, I suspect we’ll see the Pacific revisited early next year, and hopefully some of the far east conflicts too. After that looking forward to Early War getting a refresh and releases,… Read more »
