Flames Of War website update

Welcome to the Flames Of War and Battlefront Miniatures Newsletter!

German Nashorn

We’ve got a bumper supply of content for you this week! First, we introduce you to some new product spotlights, including the much anticipated Art Of War II – The Wehrmacht Edition, the new T-34 obr 1942 box, Soviet and German casualty packs and the new Soviet Paint Set.

We are also proud to present the first gimpse into the new Firestorm—Bagration campaign system! Last month the Battlefront staff played through a Firestorm—Bagration campaign. We’ve documented it and have put it up on the web so that you can follow the action!

Next, we’ve stolen a few pages out of the new Fortress Europe (out in stores this weekend!) and posted them as a handy article on how to use the Flames Of War platoon diagrams to organise and base your army.
