This is awesome! Lets do this!!!!
I know a buddy who has expressed an interest in FoW, I guess 4th ed is the place for us to wet our toes.
Come on, come on i wanna see more of those plastic 88’s
the chat sofa should be studio 4.
Wish I could be there. Sounds like a great way to start a new addiction. The prize looks pretty epic as well!
Wow! Ben isn’t just a head. Have a great weekend, I’ll be watching with interest.
Historical gaming is my jam!
Now that’s a prize pack!
Nice to see how those 88s build up, old metal ones were a pain
Is there a reason you set the limit at 25 boot-campers? Is it due to the size of the venue so people aren’t too crampt or is it more so people feel they have more of a personal touch? Just curious.
Bootcampin’ time!
Lots of posts please!
I’ve just started collecting a historical game myself, Bolt Action. The intrest started as family history but I really can’t wait to get some games in somehow, I don’t really have anyone to play against. I’m really interested to see how these armies go together though as 15mm has always seemed a bit of a different painting challenge to what I’m used to so I’ve been aprihensive to start the scale. That being said the game Tanks! does seem like a good place to start so I’ll be keeping an eye out for ze tiger.
Been looking forward to this weekend, can’t wait to see what you have to say about the new version.
Tiger time!!! 🙂
I have been waiting all bloody day for this to start! 🙂
Looking forwards to seeing this play out
7 shades of shite, do I feel a book coming up?
7 shades I thought for sure you would say 50 shades of shyt 🙂 Looking forward to seeing the changes in 4th edition.
I havn’t looked at FLames since it’s first edition where we used to jokingly call it flames of war(hammer 40,000). Im curious to watch your weekend and to see how the game has changed since then.
Got the open fire box to work on while I watch, will need to find the 4th ed late war books when they’re out… Then I’ll be getting the desert rats starter…
So by the looks of the prize bundle and what the people in the bootcamp are building there’s not a lot of infantery. Is that common for this theater of war?
Not so. This was a theatre where armoured tactics did take a large role but the use of infatry was common. They would have to manouver through mine fields, clear out emplaced areas, and with emplaced guns and such they would hold ground. Due to the larger open areas it may have been a less infantry friendly landscape on the whole in comparison to the likes of northern Europe or especially Burma but they did play their role in the desert as well. Some points where you might find intrest are if you look at ‘the siege of Tobruk’ in… Read more »
Yup we’ve left infantry out of this just to keep it a slightly simpler proposition for the weekend 🙂
i need to make it over for a boot camp looks like so much fun
Excellent looking prizes. 🙂
