Flames of War Newsletter
Welcome to the Flames Of War and Battlefront Miniatures Weekly Newsletter!
This week we conclude the Staff Firestorm Campaign with a megabattle over the city of Minsk. Chris and Kyran also talk about the lessons that were learned while organising the campaign and offer some tips for future Firestorm planners.
I continued my interrogations this week, focusing on the infamous Casey Davies. Read on to see how well he withstood the process.
Wayne posted an interesting historical article about Red Army Artillery so you can learn more about the Red God of War!
Finally, Rob Villnave, from the US office, sent us some great photos and words about his Tanksgiving experience.
News
Well, its Christmas time! This will be our last update for the year as we all shuffle off to friends and family to celebrate the holidays. The Battlefront office will be closed from December 20, 2008 – January 5, 2009. The next update will be on the 15th of January, however keep an eye on the site as some articles and Spotlights will be appearing before then!
After the New Year the office will be back in full swing. However, I’ll be away in the USA for a few weeks, so I’ll leave you in the capable hands of Wayne.
