Ramcke Brigade
Generalmajor Bernhard Hermann Ramcke and his Brigade in North Africa
Before the success of Operation Mercury in securing Crete in 1941 preparations were begun to take the British controlled island of Malta in the Mediterranean. The island acted as a supply port and a base of operations for the RAF that put them in striking distance of North Africa and Italy. Initially Italian and German parachute and air transported infantry were to take the island’s airfield before a force of Italian sea borne troops would land and secure the rest of the island and subdue the defenders. After the high casualties suffered by the Fallschirmjäger during Crete, and fuel supply problems for the Italian Navy, the assault on Malta was cancelled and a number of Fallschirmjäger troops became available for other operations.

German Forces In The Mediterranean
In 1942 and 1943 Germany deployed a wide variety of units to the Mediterranean Theatre. This article briefly discusses the units in each area and how to field them in Flames Of War using the Mid War German entries.
Initially the German forces in Africa consisted of 15. Panzerdivision and 21. Panzerdivision, which between them formed the Deutsches Afrikakorps under General Rommel. They were quickly joined by 90. leichte Afrikadivision, a formation scraped together from any units available. It was with these three divisions and their Italian Allies that Rommel won most of his victories over the British. These divisions are well covered in the Mid War German Army Books and Command Cards.

Brandon brought his Americans to counter Chad’s German Reconnaissance Company, and we filtered into the tables where other players were struggling to gain a foothold for their nation on the map.

Dreaming Of Churchill
Round the office we are still discussing our games at FlamesCon, even though it was almost two weeks ago. These discussions often turn to looking at what armies our opponents fielded and what we thought of them. One of the themes of the weekend, for Wayne and Victor at least, were “how many Churchills can I face over the course of the weekend?”
Chris has taken this to its next logical step... maybe it is time to paint some Churchills!

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. Aces Campaign Survey...

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.
