Welcome to the Flames Of War and Battlefront Miniatures website. 

Cobra, The Normandy Breakout

Today is VE Day, the day the war ended in Europe (8 May 1945). Take a moment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their countries.

This week sees the release of last week’s new Product Spotlights:

BRAB01 8th Army 'Desert Rats' Motor Company (Mid War)
GEAB02 Afrikakorps Panzergrenadierkompanie (Mid War)
TD013 German Wehrmacht Gaming Set
TD015 German Deutsches Afrikakorps Gaming Set

We also look at a former US staff officer's memories of General Eisenhower, at German infantry divisions in Normandy, and the new company organisation diagrams you will find inside Cobra. From this week you can also pre-order Cobra.


Steve Bernich examines the German infantry divisions that fought in Normandy, gives a brief breakdown of their role in the campaign and suggests how to field them in Flames Of War.

German Infanteriedivisionen in Normandy…
272. Infanteriedivision
Eisenhower and US Paratroopers Rich Hamilton interviews Wayne C. Temple on General Eisenhower and asks his impressions of the man and of his experience with some of the other prominent figures in the Allied high command.

Memories of General Eisenhower…
One of the new features you will see in Cobra is a change in the way we display the company organisation and platoon choices. I explain how they work and how it differs from previous books.

New Company Diagrams in Cobra…
SS-Panzerkompanie
Cobra Cobra is out on 31 May. From this week you can pre-order your copy. Pop into your local store and ask them to put your name down for a copy, or simply order it online.
