that is a really nice table

If memory serves, that table is all modular, as well. Glad to see a new episode! It’s been a while since the last one, I was actually starting to wonder. 🙂 Great tips on the smoke. I try to think of it this way . . . “There are 10 German PzKpfw IVs coming toward me. Do I have a weapon that will take five of them off the board in one swing (short of a tactical nuke? 🙂 )” “No, but I have a tool that could reduce all their ROFs by 50%. In certain situations, I MAY have… Read more »

For the Germans I think Panzer III N’s and StuH42’s will direct-fire smoke? (Looking at my Fortress Italy book..)

Yeah the new Italy books help the late war Germans some what with smoke, this video was shot before they where out….

I think you guys are great, this video really makes me more curious than ever before about the sheer depth of this game 🙂 I so far only liked the painting and history but I think that smoke is a very interesting thing! In reality the Shermans used it a lot against the Panthers rendering their guns quite useless at their intended ranges, thus allowing them to be flanked more easily as well. I think Germany can solve smoke in FoW by waiting the smoke out though, or spread their assets from big and heavy tanks into smaller tanks like… Read more »

Gorgeous terrain, great video again.

Great episode, these are really good and very informative. I particully like the know your enemy interviews at the start. I’ve only played a few games of flames of war but I’ve amassed over 4000pts of Germans. Having been a long time 40k player It all seemed very similar to me and my friends. I don’t think any of used Reece or smoke. Through reading battle reports and seeing these videos it makes you realise just how much more depth the game has and how many more involved tactical decisions there are to make. I’ve really enjoyed the games that… Read more »

This table looks awesome!

Rule No1: No Smoking over the gaming table!

Well that was an easy rules explanation! 😛

I must play this game :o) Good video, good series

great video guys and also super nice terrain.

This is like Smokey and the Bandit. 🙂 There were tanks that could generate smoke by injecting diesel into their exhausts to obscure the next wave from enemy artillery or long range gunnery. The only concern for me is that smoke becomes like spam. Now if every war consisted of people blinding the other side with smoke and never shooting anything more dangerous at them, that would be fine, but at some point, heavy metal needs to fly. The Kingtiger you have spend six rounds keeping blind may not get a shot in but the platoon of PZIVH’s you forgot… Read more »

I want to play on that table

Brilliant! Love the table layout.
