Due to a variety of factors including weather and navigation issues the paratroops were badly scattered and struggled to meet their objectives. Late War is just around the corner, and to help new players join the fight and to entice old hands to have a crack at a new army, we’ve developed two great-value, low-cost two-player starter sets.

I had to transport the main board to the venue in my trailer and it was raining, and despite plastic sheeting, some rain got through.

Now it's like FoW is the BBC/Mainstream Media version of WW2 – you can have basic British, basic Americans, basic Germans and basic Russians. Fury drops you right into the middle of tank combat during World War II and gives you a quick and easy entry point for Flames Of War with both German and American options. The M4A1 model, recognisable by its distinctive rounded single-piece cast upper hull, was the first Sherman variant to enter combat with the US armoured forces. Unusually, for these starter sets, it also contains a decent amount of infantry to complement the large number of tanks. Well the game drew a lot of onlooker interest both old and young, as expected, and that is what we really hoped for.That’s 100pts from a Starter army and a boxed and if you drop the carriers you can upgrade another Sherman to a Firefly, but that leaves you at 99pts.

We didn't have time to restart the scenario, so decided to play on to see what would happen, in case the Allies simply needed more time.

Wer also ein gutes Einstiegsprodukt in die V4 von Flames of War sucht oder einfach günstig an gute Miniaturen im 15mm / 1:100 Maßstab sucht, wird hier fündig. Some of the history is bunk and you could have had more useful options for the terrain piece: fortifications or gliders for example but you are getting a lot for your money and you can have a good game with just this boxful. Flames of War: Hit the Beach Army Set is another in the series of excellent starter sets from Battlefront Miniatures.

I’ve got four of the six now: Hit the Beach, Stalingrad, Kursk and Tobruk and will get the other two: Kasserine and Clash of Steel in due course and fit them in with my armies. I think 4th in an improvement in terms of stremalining the rules, but I think BF have dropped the ball big time with their decision to consolidate their miniatures offerings. So, I dabbled a bit in 15mm WW2 back on the cusp of FoW 2nd/3rd, loved the scale, wasn't keen on the rules.

Paul and I had decided it would be a good chance to showcase the Normandy Beach stuff, and the scenario in play would be widely recognisable to the general public. Tarda més a arribar del que diuen quan fas la comanda però pots anar fent seguiment del paquet xq l’enviament a Espanya és amb correos.

I believe that is unique in terms of FOW starter sets and I don’t know why we don’t get more of them. Some mention that the quality is pretty good for 15mm and that it's easy to build, even if you are a beginner. When they had panzers and artillery attached, they were difficult to stop without a layered defence in depth.

Paul battled manfully, but was up against it, not so much from me but from the scenario, the mechanism of landing craft deployment and recycling on and off the beach, meant his forces arrived in dribs and drabs and there was never the "overwhelming force" in evidence. It still felt like a rush to get them into position, but they did none the less and held on for the win.
