The Big Four Of Late War
Collectively the Big Four Of Late War, studio stalwarts Casey, Chris, Victor and Wayne and embarking on the Late War Journey to build new armies alongside Flames Of War players around the world.
This will be like no “Tale of Four Gamers” series of articles that you might have seen in the past. Instead it will be an epic journey (one with Tanks instead of Ringwraiths) that will take part over four years…
Follow their progress over on the dedicated Big Four website.

Adding Detail To Your Plastic T-34s
If you want to field large Tankovy units in a hurry, chances are you won’t be interested in giving yourself any extra work. But if you have some spare time and you want to show off your modelling skills, you can give your new tanks that little something extra to make them stand out from the crowd.

Victor Pesch's Hero Tankovy Brigada
For the past couple years I've made the trek down the island to New Zealand's longest-running Flames Of War tournament Panzerschreck. Since I've been attending it has been a late-war doubles event, 1000 points per player. I really enjoy this format. I'm not much of a tactical player so it suits me having someone to tell me when I'm making stupid mistakes!
Victors army was built under a previous version of LW but is still great for inspiration

The Red Army in Palmerston North:
Hero Strelkovy Polk at Panzerschreck 2015
After finishing work on the Berlin book I was quite enthusiastic about painting up some Hero Strelkovy. Having already collected a bunch of Stelkovy miniatures over the last couple of years, and the annual Panzerschreck tournament coming up, I thought it would get started. As Panzerschreck is a doubles tournament I only had to prepare 1000 points. My partner was former Battlefront staffer Victor Pesch. He took a fantastic looking Hero Tankovy Brigada from Desperate Measures. It was so good he won best painted army-by a landslide. (Check out Victor's army here...)

Blending In:
Using Foliage To Camouflage Your Tanks
As Monty Python told us, camouflage is the art of how not to be seen. One of the simplest ways to achieve this, when driving around in a natural environment, is to take some of that environment with you.
