Kerr & King, Flames Of War Objective

Here is a neat little building for those who play Flames of War.  You can pick it up from Kerr & King for £5.50.  It was designed as a giveaway for the participants of the Flames of War competition at the British National Wargaming Championships at Britcon 2010.  The objective marker was inspired by the Germans Having Lunch (The figures set is by Peter Pig.) The Objective is a runided farm building with places for the placement of three metal figure

The item is cast in high quality Polyurethane Resin and are supplied unpainted and requires the addition of figures as they are not supplied.

Denis of Heer46 is busy working on another project for Flames Of War conversions.  This time it is the German Sdkfz 251.

The Plastic Soldier Company, Russians

The Plastic Soldier Company has released a set of 15mm plastic Russians.  I haven't seen these in person to compare them against FOW, but they look pretty good.


The 15mm WW2 Russian Infantry in Summer Uniform retails for £18.50

130 hard plastic 15mm miniatures depicting WW2 Russian infantry in summer uniform as follows:
15 junior officers/NCOs
95 riflemen/SMGs
10 light machine guns with loaders

Art of Tactic

There is a new board game called Art of Tactic.

The game appears to have a mix of scales (Infantry, Tanks and Planes), but the tanks are said to be 1/100 scale, so would be perfect for Flames of War.

The Art of Tactic also has some rules listed, so you can check them out to see if the game is something you might be interested in.  You can buy the tanks separately for EUR 2.95, but currently there are only two tanks available.  They do show a T-43 on the home page, so I assume there will be others released.

Flames of War, Wirbelwind (GE165)

Battle Front is coming out with the Flames of War Wirbelwind (GE165).  The Wirbelwind (Whirlwind) was the second German production vehicle to mount an anti-aircraft gun on the chassis of the Panzer IV tank also known as the Flakpanzer.   The first production Flackpanzer was known as the Möbelwagen and lacked both a turret and the twin guns.  These were used against troops, light vehicles and airplanes.   With their high rate of fire, it was known that when these were in the fields, fighters and fighter bombers tended to look for easier targets.

Heer46, Bergetiger, Ladungsträger, Tiger Cargo Carrier

Heer46 has created another great turret conversion for Flames Of War.  This time it is a conversion for  Tiger tanks.  The Bergetiger, Ladungsträger Tiger Cargo Carrier.  The turret retails for 5,90€+ Post.

In 1944, three Tiger I tanks were field converted by the sPzAbt 509 to recovery vehicles and redesignated Bergepanzer Tiger. In November of 1944, all three were transferred to the sPzAbt 501. Meanwhile, a lone mid production Tiger I that had been damaged near Anzio in Italy was rebuilt and converted by the workshop of sPzAbt 508 into a special purpose vehicle. Its gun was removed and the turret traversed to face the rear then locked in a fixed position. A winch was mounted atop the turret along with a tubular 10-ton lifting crane, which enabled it to recover and tow damaged/ mired vehicles. It was also equipped with other auxiliary equipment so that it could lay and clear demolition charges. 

Flames Of War, Tigers

This past weekend I attended Millennium Con and picked up a few things at the Flea Market including a bunch of painted Flames Of War tanks and troops.  Now I haven't played Flames of War in about 4 or 5 years, so I am clueless as to what else I need to pick up.  I just love the look of Tigers and Panthers.
