The Pocket Edition of the Flames Of War Rulebook gives you everything you need from the Hardback Rulebook, but in a handy A5 size.

Lessons from the Front FAQ PDF Flames of War Missions Pack PDF The Flames Of War Rulebook contains everything you need to know to begin playing Flames Of War, just add some models, dice, tape measure, and a playing surface. The 4th Edition of Flames Of War is bigger (and smaller) than ever, with a new rulebook that is slimmer than previous editions but retains all the tactical challenges that you have come to expect from Flames Of War. This new rulebook has slimmed down by reducing the amount of unnecessary flavour text around the rules, and by dropping large numbers of special rules in favour of just stating their effect on the relevant unit cards. These unit cards are the other obvious change in the new version. In the new army books, every unit has a card listing its ratings such as its motivation, its skill, and how hard it is to hit, along with its speed in different circumstances, its weapons characteristics, and on the back the unit organisation, points cost, and relevant special rules. Because each card shows the scores needed for that unit to succeed in various things, we were able to replace lots of rules with simple stat changes. Despite the shorter rulebook and easier to learn and quicker to play system, the new version retains (and in many ways enhances) the tactical depth that drew players to earlier versions of the game. What’s Changed in the Reprinted Flames of War Rulebook? Battlefront have just released a reprint of the Flames of War rulebook to coincide with the launch of the new Late War period. You can tell it from the original printing because it no longer has the dates 1942 - 1943 on the cover. We took the opportunity to update a few things in the reprint, but in essence it’s exactly the same (the page numbering is identical — everything is just where it was), so there is no need to rush out and buy a new copy. Making It Late War The reprint has been given a late-war flavour with eight more pages of history covering 1944 and 1945, and some diagrams rephotographed with late-war models instead of the mid-war models in the original printing. The quick start guides, unit cards, and force building section now have a late-war flavour, but the content is identical. Artillery The Artillery section has two changes. The first is that we added the Salvo Template rules from the Mid War Eastern Front books into the main part of the artillery rules. The second is that we have made it explicit that tanks don’t get a +1 bonus to their armour for being over 16”/40cm range when hit by an artillery bombardment Assaults The Assault section has one change to how defensive fire forces tanks to fall back. Now all armoured tank teams are treated the same, regardless of their Top armour rating, so they need two tanks bailed out or destroyed to force them to fall back. Missions The changes to the mission sections bring the variations from the popular More Missions pdf into the core rulebook. We added the optional Battle Plans mission selector into the rulebook, and modified the way you hold objectives to match the More Missions pdf. Instead of checking if you have cleared away the enemy and hold the objective at the start of the turn, you check at the end of the turn, provided that you started the turn on the objective. We also modified Deep Reserves to reflect the differences between periods (echoing the change previously made in the Lessons From the Front FAQ) to reflect differing definitions of a battle tank over time. To fit the Battle Plans, we removed the design notes from the back of the book, so if anyone who has the reprinted book wants to read them, we’ve put a copy of them here: Special Rules The first printing only had special rules for the British and Germans, with a focus on the Mid War period. We added special rules for the Americans and Soviets in the reprint, as well as rules for the limited availability of German Panzerfaust anti-tank weapons, while removing some of the specifically Mid War examples from the British and German sections. Don’t worry if you plan on playing Mid War, all the rules are in the relevant books and on the back of unit cards anyway! In Closing As you can see, the changes are mostly just bringing some key things from the Lessons From the Front FAQ and the More Missions pdf into the core rulebook, along with giving more examples of national special rules. 128 p.

Welcome to the new edition of Colours Of War Everything that you loved about the original version just got bigger and better, growing from 88 pages to a massive 136 page tome. In 2015 we completely overhauled the way we approached painting guides with Colours Of War, which proved incredibly popular, to the point where, despite being reprinted a couple of times, it has been out of stock for a couple of years now. With that in mind, Pete approached me last year with the news that we had just signed a deal with Vallejo for them to release and supply our historical range of paints, and that we needed a new version of Colours Of War to go with it. This led to an updated version of Colours Of War, which has been a labour of love. Not content to do anything the easy way, we decided to not just update the book, but to expand and add in all the painting, modelling, and marking guides from all the Mid-war books that we have published since the original version of Colours Of War. Still not content, we decided to add and expand on the painting guides from all of the World War III: Team Yankee rulebooks, creating the most complete painting book we have ever made. Whether you have never painted before or have years of experience, this book is a tool to help you get the most out of your Flames Of War and World War III: Team Yankee models. Our books have always had basic painting guides, but we have never been able to provide as much information as we would have liked until now. Working with Vallejo has opened up a massive paint range that they have been developing and refining for decades. We have scoured their paint range and come up with a collection of sets that cover all of the basic colours you need to paint your armies for the tabletop. The Colours Of War book covers everything you need to get your army ready for gaming. There is a section covering painting techniques, as well as the theory of highlighting and shading. The Common Features section covers painting guides for all the items which every army needs - faces, weapons, tank tracks, etc., saving space in the national sections for more specific details and information. In the World War II section there are painting guides for Americans, Germans, British, Soviets, and Italians, consisting of painting guides, colour and marking references, and camouflage schemes. The World War III section contains painting and marking guides for all the nations currently in Team Yankee. The paint guides themselves are broken down into manageable step-by-step tasks, with most comprising no more than around four simple steps. This book will cover all your painting needs for both Flames Of War and Team Yankee

This is far more than an update and represents the core late-war lists for every nation in the new format. Over two years has passed since late-war began and we have evolved how lists are presented and what goes in them. The break between the western and eastern fronts seemed an ideal time to do this and gave us a chance to not only back date the new gear that came into use on the western front but bring the Soviet force organisations into line with the series of books we have planned for them. It is time to update Festung Europa and bring it in line with the last two years of progression that intelligence handbooks have gone through. Enter: Fortress Europe! Fortress Europe contains the core forces that were in Festung Europa, but they have been given the modern equivalent of a makeover to bring them to that same standard as our current books. The first major change is the organisation diagrams for choosing your company have been changed to the new style. The second major change is that we have added in the new units that have appeared in all the handbooks from the last two years in their relative places. Now all the forces can use the new equipment, not just the divisions covered in the handbooks. The last major difference is that we have updated the Soviet section to bring it in line with the Eastern front books as you can see in Stalin’s Onslaught. Fortress Europe is a 160 page full colour book and will be the same price as Festung Europa. This makes it 12 pages larger than its predecessor. Due the extra space requirements from the new organisational charts, some of the lists from Festung Europa will be covered more completely in one of our future Divisional Handbooks, such as the Soviet Rota Razvedki which will be in our next Eastern Front book, Hammer and Sickle. If you keep an eye on our website you will also see some updated briefings from Festung Europa appearing over the next few months as well. Don’t worry if your favourite list is not in the new book. Fortress Europe does not replace Festung Europa but rather updates the lists within it. The forces in Festung Europa can still be fielded as valid Flames Of War forces so you are not forced to change anything should you not want to. It is simply a matter of making clear which book your force is from as it is either one or the other.

At the start of the Germans' first assault on Stalingrad on 13 September, the division drove into the heart of the city. The Luftwaffe's bombing campaign had turned most of the city to rubble, and the 295th soon found itself embroiled in vicious house-to-house fighting. Their main objective was the well-defended Mamayev Kurgan, a massive hill in the middle of the city that provided an ideal vantage point for artillery spotting and for directing the battle. It was highly valued by both Soviet and German forces, ensuring the fight for it would be a bloody one. The 295th eventually took the summit, but were relentlessly subjected to Soviet sniper fire and counterattacks from the northern and eastern slopes of the hill. The fighting was savage, as the infantrymen fought with bayonet, grenade, and flamethrower to make any headway against a determined enemy.

Under the leadership of Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel, the Deutsches Afrika Korps (or DAK) trounced the British Eighth Army time and time again. The ‘Desert Fox’, as he became known, gained an almost mythical status as a military genius to both friend and foe alike. Rommel owed his success to a combination of his own experience and hard-driving nature, and the superb troops he commanded. Serving as a Leutnant in the First World War, Rommel showed an aggressive style that led to spectacular victories over forces much stronger than his own.

Panzer schools, such as Paderborn and Bergen, had long been turning out exceptional replacement tank crews for the Wehrmacht. In these last days, experienced officers and cadets were few and fuel and ammunition for practice were running out. Nevertheless, each school organised its assets into Panzer Ausbildungs Verbände (Replacement Tank Forces). While forced to fight with old equipment, the Ausbildungs units fought hard in those final battles against overwhelming odds. Yet, these last panzer units did not give up until they had fired their last bullet or shell, or lost their last tank in defence of the Reich. 2x Königstiger / Tiger II 3x Panther 3x Pz IV 3x Hetzer 3x Pz II 3x Wespe 8x Infantry Teams Complete A5 Flames Of War rulebook One German "Start Here" Guide Two Decal Sheets Nine Unit cards

A Kampfgruppe (battle group) was an ad-hoc combined arms formation, usually employing a combination of tanks, infantry, anti-tank and artillery elements. During Operation Bagration, the Germans employed these combined arms formations to stymie the rapid advance of Soviet forces.
