5. Fallschirmjäger Regiment in Tunisia
January to May 1943
The winter of 1943 in Tunisia was cold and wet and little happened between December and January. Both the Allies and Axis continued to build up their troop presence in Tunisia. To counter the Allied build up Panzer Armee Afrika has arrived from Libya after their long retreat from El Alamein, and more troops had been flown into Tunis, among them were units of the Hermann Göring Division. To bring the Hermann Göring Division up to strength the 5. Fallschirmjäger Regiment was added to the division, and in March became 5. Jäger Regiment Hermann Göring. Due to the increase number of troops in the Axis lines, the Fallschirmjäger were able to take respite from the front lines and it was not until late February 1943 they were in action again.

Battle For Ortona - 15 December 1943
After breaking out of their Moro River bridgehead the 1st Canadian Infantry Division took the small hamlet of San Leonardo. Their next objective was a set of crossroads on the main Ortona – Orsogna lateral road. The ‘Cider’ crossroads as they were codenamed were only a mile and a half from San Leonardo, yet it would take the Canadians 10 days of tough fighting to reach them.

The Big Four Go To FlamesCon 2019!
Well, what a weekend that was… 28 Flames Of War players, 6 games, and a whole lot of “if only” comments!
Like most wargamers at the conclusion of each round there was a fair amount of discussion about their previous battle so we asked Chris, Victor and Wayne to share a few of their thoughts about the weekend, the games, their opponents and if they learnt anything from the experience....

Aces Campaign Survey
2019 has been a huge year for Flames Of War. We are constantly working on new ways for players to use their Flames Of War armies and to build up the Flames Of War gaming community. To this end we ran the Hobby League earlier in the year, and are currently running the D-Day: Global Campaign, but we also released the card-based Bloody Omaha Ace Campaign.
Unlike the Hobby League and the D-Day: Global Campaign, the Ace Campaign system isn’t something connected to the internet so we don't get direct feedback from the players to see how the Ace Campaign System is being received. So we decided to put together a survey to see how you, the players, like these sort of campaign systems and get some direct feedback.
|
|
Please take a moment to fill out the survey so we can get a better idea of how you like the Ace Campaign system.

WWIII: British Delay
WWIII: Team Yankee version 2 will launch on December 7, 2019. It was initially planned that WWIII: British would be released, along with its accompanying Army Deal, alongside the launch of the WWIII: Team Yankee rulebook.
Due to issues with the manufacturer of these specific plastic kits, the Challenger and Warrior kits have not been produced to a standard that we are satisfied with and that you have come to expect.
