North Africa Mid War Forces (FW256)

North Africa: Mid-war Forces Spotlight
It has been a while since we turned the spotlight on the war in the desert, but that is about to change with the release of the North Africa compilation and the accompanying starter and army sets.

Whether you are returning to the Mid-War period or starting from scratch, everything you need is now easily accessible in one place. The North Africa compilation includes all of the existing Mid-War books for the war in the desert:

  • Afrika Korps, 90th Light, and Death from Above for the Germans,
  • Armoured Fist and Red Devils for the British,
  • Avanti and more from Death from Above for the Italians, and
  • Fighting First and All American for the Americans.

M6 Heavy Tank Platoon Wildcard Unit
with John Lee

With the release of the North Africa Compilation, we have been re-introduced to some of the experimental vehicles that were designed and prototyped but not necessarily saw action. This article focuses on the M6 Heavy Tank Platoon. The M6 Tank came into being when the Chief of Infantry made a recommendation in May 1940. It went through several designs, starting off with multiple turrets (think Soviet T-35).  It went through several iterations over the next two years with several prototypes and models built.  By the time the M6 was ready for production, the Armoured Corps had lost interest. There had been a total of forty built.

The M27 in North Africa

The M27 in North Africa
with Ryan Jeffares

With the release of the North Africa compilation and the introduction of the wildcard slot, there are several new vehicles which will soon be gracing our gaming tables. In this article I’ll examine one of the new offerings for the Americans, the M27 tank, exploring the historical background of this prototype vehicle, its statistics in game as well as tactics for its use along with some sample army lists.

Semovente 75/34: The Profile Of A Killer
with Livio Tonazzo

The profile of the Semovente 75/34 is particularly interesting, as it combines light armor with a powerful anti-tank weapon. The result is a truly dangerous hybrid on the battlefield so we will be taking a look at it on the Flames Of War tabletop.

T55 Interceptor Tank Destroyer Platoon Wildcard Unit

T55 Interceptor Tank Destroyer Platoon Wildcard Unit
with John Lee

With the release of the North Africa Compilation, we have been re-introduced to some of the experimental vehicles that were designed and prototyped but not necessarily saw action. This article focuses on the T55 Interceptor Tank Destroyer Platoon. It started out as an experimental 8x8 desert vehicle designed by Cook Brothers. An unusual design, it joined two powered 4x4 bogies (each with its own engine) to the chassis to make this 8x8 vehicle. There was sufficient interest from the Army to contract them to develop it.  It went through modifications and went into production in 1943, however preference had to shifted to tracked anti-tank vehicles by this time.

Battlefront Digital 

Seven years ago we launched FOW Digital to customers as a convenient way to purchase, download and reference Flames Of War books and lists. For some of us it seems like just yesterday but in the software development world that is many lifetimes ago! Despite a number of software upgrades over the years it has become unstable for some Apple users as new versions of iOS are released, rendering the app unusable to them and unfortunately the time is coming where we will need to lay it to rest at some time in the near future.

Dont Panic!

We are migrating customers over to a new website where you can access your content and add more. By moving to a website we give you, the customer, more power with how you can use your Digital content. Want to read your book on your phone, tablet, PC or Mac? Go ahead...

A new rules set always results in questions about how the finer points of the game should work so Lessons From The Front is the place to go to find answers to some of the harder questions.

These are living documents that we will update as often as possible but please bear in mind that whilst we listen to feedback in the forums (and other places) we need to take a considered approach before implementing any changes.
