Flames of War: Glorious Supersoldiers edition

They're not 100% finished yet, but I'm pretty please with my rag-tag bunch of King Tigers. (I previously showed the Octopus camo one as a WiP)

Tournament update:

Going exceptionally badly, ended the day on eight points. Lost the one T-35 that could contest the objective at the wrong time, broke morale. Second game could not undig Italians and the table set up was literally the worst. Surrounded but with rocky hills in the eight inch deployment zone. Third Game: Opponent deploys HQ 38(t)s, Pioneers, and Nebelwerfers, cross the board and bitchslapped off his Nebelwerfers and commanders off the objective before his tanks could turn up. Opponent's mistake really.

May post photos, maybe not. Kinda bitter about some of my losses.

Those are beautiful! I'm planning on painting my Panthers for my Berlin Kampfgruppe in a similar red oxide look.

Not bad. I really can't ever get my freehand lettering to look good.

Has anyone played a Firestorm campaign?

If so, how did you find it?

Firestorm

just because the dev's have an idea doesn't mean we use it....

Really, really hope you don't get a moron for an ally. I've had games where my ally lost his entire army (save a single bailed tiger and his command Panzer IV) by the end of turn 2, because he decided that the best way to get into the opponent's side armor was to charge right at them through the open. As for things that are useful, being able to concentrate force on one enemy player at a time is good. Break one company, then you can turn your two remaining ones on his remainder. And remember NOT to block their movement with your dead tanks. Had that happen when playing alongside a russian player, he killed off the rearward tanks in his formation (when the formation was a long diagonal line where everything could see and shoot) which left my brits unable to get clear fire lanes or advance quickly on the enemy he needed help with. He ended up being killed off by turn 4 because I just could not get in there to help against the enemy panzers.

What?
obviously not everyone will use it, I was asking if anyone had.

I just thought they seemed cool and would be fun to try, I was wondering if anyone had any stories of it, or if it was good or bad?

I ran the Market Garden one for a while, but then ran out of players as a few left the area, etc.

We did 1500 pts + Firestorm units, and tried to field only the units present (with some variation) and to make the tables look the part. It added a more historical feel with linked battles and each side trying to work together toward a common goal.

It is a very good system if a bit involved, but once you know what to do it's easier. I really like them, but don't have enough people playing to really run one. You need players to commit and do their part, and want to do it, not just show up and expect everything has been done for them which was a problem for me.

nice, that sounds really fun!
