Missing Rules Updates from Flames Of War, Special Rules and Warriors, 1939-41 and 1944-45
When compiling the rules updates for the Flames Of War, Special Rules and Warriors book we had to comb through all of our books to and find all the rules that needed to be looked at. Since the book was published we have noticed a few rules that got missed. Below you will find a list of additional rules updates missed out of the Flames Of War, Special Rules and Warriors book.
