Flames of War General /fowg/: This Machine Kills Capitalists Edition

As long as it has the bit on extralight armor tactics, I'm fine with waiting. Between Virus trying jap armor and my own project to make the 6th Airborne Armored Recce (half of these vehicles have front 1, the rest are front 0) there might actually be some call for that. Or it might just be amusing laughing at vehicles that are scared of .50s.

>As long as it has the bit on extralight armor tactics

What specifically did you want to know?

I'm sure asking here will get you a more immediate answer to that question, as well as a few more viewpoints on the subject.

If you haven't noticed, we tend to have co-hosts drop out between acts 2 and 3 just because of the insane time differences we're dealing with.

Wasn't anything serious, I had just put it up as a question in the discord when Virus was asking for questions. Don't know if it made it in or not, but I figured it would be interesting hearing what other people thought on how to use them.

I'll double check.

I don't actually remember what questions we answered, and I'm not up to that segment yet in the editing process.

As for my thoughts on low armor / unarmored vehicles, you need to know what their capabilities realistically are.

Pumas for example can *almost* act like light tanks in a pinch, but would be a bit of a glass cannon and would likely not stand up to any significant return fire.

Also, and I believe we've said this in previous episodes, sometimes Veterancy kinda has to be your armor.

You don't have to be scared of your opponent's big ol' fuck-huge gun if they need high dice rolls to actually hit you.

I'm sure others can add to this as well.

Bumping answer:

Got 4 MMG carriers I'm working on, then I have to add stowage to some scout cars. After that, it's cleaning up some gun teams. Ideally they'd all be ready for spray painting tomorrow, but I'm not giving that great odds.

I've finished the majority of my Desert Rats ground forces. Just need to pick up Hurricanes later this month along with a few extra pieces.

Waiting for my T-55s and UCs, PSC. Fuggggg

daily reminder: the holocause never happened...

Man, you are salty about him using nigger once, aren't you?

>False flagging this hard and this poorly

Next thing you know Poland will be invaded again.

What's it like on your end of the spectrum?

dude what

guess, bartosz is going to have to tripfag now

you mean holohoax

Any word on when (or if) Battlefront will get back round to WWI?

I got the vibe they only did that as part of the 100-year anniversary.

hey, look, a clone!

>everyone is bartosz: a new RPG one-page by Phil Yates.

I hope they do, I know WWI isn't everyone's cup of tea but they've built up quite a nice 15mm range for it now and they could sell it with the V4 rules if they released an updated source book for the four Western powers.

I was under the impression that it didn't sell well at all and that it has pretty much been abandoned.

Although I'll admit I haven't seen anything official about it one way or the other.

i myself thought it was a great idea, but was sad they stepped away from making this game the mother of all artillery park duels, like they should have.

damn you Phil.

the most likely answer is no.

In that case I suppose I should buy some armies when I can before they discontinue them.

and since i'm here, and this is now...

misspelling holocaust? false flagging? misusing the ellipses or posting something so potent as Nazism in such a short quib? i dare you to talk to Eagles or Virus! kek and lolz both!

....so, quit being a nigger like that, you're making black men look bad!

anyone weeping for the arrival of V4 Italians

in 2018?

That, and anything else midwar most likely in 2019.

Maybe the real bartosz was the friends we made along the way

All six gorillion? Oi vey...

I think we will see Soviets soon after Italians. Major releases for TY are petering out after stripes.

I thought NA was going to be finished this year with EF next year. Has that changed?

Americans will come out for NA this year, but we won't get Italians until like next February.

Ah, the infamous Battlefront Soon (tm). Good to see that in attempting to do everything a new way, a few traditions remain.

>Man, you are salty about him using nigger once, aren't you?

user that originally got butthurt over his low-quality shitty racism here.

Bartosz either offended more than one person with his "hurr durr, black people say it, why can't I?" logic, or it's Bartosz himself unable to cope with feelings of shame, trying to garner support with the most obvious false flag in history. Either way, I like it!

Either way, chill it with the slurs people.

Nah, this has occasionally happened before that post. Just one of those things that namefags get.

hey guys, new to flames. what army should I collect

The 761st nigger panthers from battle of the bulge. Use the trained list.

Hrrrrrrm
>there is someone other than me offended about a word spoken on a anonymous image board.
why.
Also why would you post the AVRE, that tank was made to bully

Reposting from the forum in case anyone bought the Desert Gaming mat:

>After an unexpected delay (involving a very late change of supplier) our new game mat has started reaching customers, who are now giving us their feedback.

>Many are pleased with the mat, but others have expressed some concerns. The first thing worrying some people is creases in the material, from the way it is folded. These creases are temporary—we tested carefully this with sample mats before we approved the material for production. The nature of the neoprene is that the creases should gradually relax out if you keep the mat laying flat for a day or two. You can speed this up by gently ironing the mat through a towel. You can avoid future creases by transporting by rolling it rather than folding it.

>The bigger concern is that the actual dimensions of some mats are somewhat smaller than advertised. It seems this is because the material, which is fairly stretchy, was under slight tension when it was cut and printed, so it shrank back when the tension was released.

>In many cases, removing the creases, either by ironing or waiting them to relax out on their own, will somewhat help with the size issue. However, some people have made it clear that a mat that is at all smaller than the specified dimensions is no use to them—that is certainly fair.

>Because this size issue is a failure of quality control on our part, we will be offering a full refund to anyone who is not happy with the mat they have received.

>If you would like a refund, please return your mat to the place of purchase by 30 June.

>If you have any questions, please email [email protected]

Classic Battlefront

> Buying mats from BF.

Only muppets do this.

>Buying mats
Why would people do this

Because you can roll them up and switch from desert to grass plains in about 5 minutes.

Just buy them from a shop that specialises in them rather than a company trying to cash in on a growing market.

So glad I bought a Cigar Box Battle mat instead: can't wait for their double-sided mat Kickstarter.

Oh boy, is EW going to be cheers'd?

I don't know shit about EW, tell me what the deal is.

>wanting to run lend lease tankovy in EW
>BF is just going to take it away and maybe give me the option to re-buy it as a card.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Please tell me those are Zvezda ones. Otherwise holy shit how much money did you blow on that?

I stole that pic from some fb page.
If those tildas aren't zvezda then I'm going to cry for humanity.

That looks pretty fake to me.

Either there is one optimal Matildoe list or I know this guy. Those babies date back to well before the Zvezda version if they are.

Assembling Fliegerfausts.
The grouping of slots in the bases makes it a struggle not to place the guys in eachothers back blast.
>Verdammt Hans, pass auf!

just based my box of Giap's Guerillas. The tripods on those 12.7mm AA guns are well weird. But looking forward to playing as a peasant woman who hides a grenade in her baby's cloth, then walks up to the unsuspecting GIs.

Chết quỷ phía tây!

You muppet, that's just a card that Phil did for himself. Lot of people are doing that, they have said they are not going to Cheers it up.

Well i feel stupid.
I was kicking off to play a game down at the local store and just glanced through it.

i'll take
>Bartosz either offended you
for 500 please!

nice set up user. i know how this game is played.

BTW, some proof if ID:

some cards, with my same shitty pics....

more cards, some are the same as german, some not so much.

Who's awesome...

of course the germans get more tank options, but here, british tank ....bonuses?

i kind of like the tactical speed one.

...

nah, i'm just some filthyword!
i'll leave virtue signalling for that other faggot.
....you, just enjoy cards.

so, the last brit cards...

i...really expected more and better infantry stuff. i really did.

I would only have use for the additional formations.

i like the omni-force stuff too.

if you notice, the brit "2 dice commander in assault" is an infantry thing, while the germans can slap that on a tank as well...

though it does look like some cards were just duplicated. i would guess US and Italians will get those cards too.

So many "formation commander only" upgrade cards. Pants on head game design. To put it bluntly the idea of cards is bad and the implementation sucks ass.

Anyway Bartosz, thanks for sharing with us.

Excellent work, if I do say so myself.

funny:
>saying so after
>was posted

lol, excellent work my ass, why not do better on the photography, you negroilla ?

obvious it's barely in focus. and the lighting is ass!

AAAAAASS!

Well yes, but it's not like anyone else is bothering to do this fucking shit!

I'm the jackass who actually went out and bought this shit so you cheap bastards could have it for free!

>reddit fags this assblasted someone said 'nigger' on a taiwanese fetish network

Needs more men in fights.

why not ...more men in tights?

ah, sasuga! do otashimaste, shirigarusama!
boku wa okane ga arimasen, desu!

here, have a hitler-san!

See pic related.

So, did anyone actually do Arstotzka Best Germany?

that is awesome

wait, gimme a sec....

i had a necromancer hitler somewhere in my archives.
for now, have a HellNazi Tiger tank....
...with undead commander and all!

>Scout Tanks: By going from 5 points to 6 points, Crusader/Honey platoons are hit on a 4+, get oldschool Cautious Movement, and actually pass tactics checks.

>Cavalry Commander: Now you don't suck at Follow Me, and can shoot after doing so for a tactical move of 18"

>Neither of these is Limited

Time for GOOD Crusader Spam.

That's great!

well, i guess i am buying some Crudaser boxes.

should they be rosehip blue, or redline red?

You already know the correct answer.

How important is smoke in TY? I'm at a bit of an awkward impasse with my Brit list where I have 4 points to spare and if I drop my two mortar teams I can get 5 points and some harriers.

watermelon purple and ash grey

you know what to do

Rosehip is a perfect match for the Cavalry Commander card. Just an absolutely perfect match.

hey,
now you are onto something.....

>put some real focus onto the engine

k'
i'm off to sleep
you kids keep the thread up, aye?

see you in fuchia tank land!

I'm planning on doing Arstoztka Best Germany.
Just as soon as weather and life permit me to begin painting again.

Those PSC T-55s need to get here too.

I'm getting some serious deathstranding vibes from that tank.

Brits do not need smoke.
I suggest not to polish your list for an optimized list, it leads to an extinction of communists lists in your play group.
CHEERS.

The way to make friends as Brits is to take maximum Milans and Swingfires. Hull down your Chieftains and use them defensively, almost like AT guns.

Cheers

i just realized that those are just the C&C texture again but then colored instead of grey

As far as I can see, the first 3 rows are Zvezdas (Shape of Backside of Turret)
The rest seem BF to me (Stuff on Turret and Tools on the Hull)

Bets on whether or not Diversionary Tactics does anything to Artillery Experts?

>The way to make friends as Brits

Did I say "friends"?

Strike that. Reverse it.

The way to make sure you never get a game ever again as Brits is to take maximum Milans and Swingfires. Hull down your Chieftains and use them defensively, almost like AT guns.

Fair enough, I have tried to avoid that too much I just really wanted some harriers.

i wish this would work on actual communists.
We've got a domestic terrorist group marching through the streets here like it's fucking nothing

The fire rises brother.

New British unit is coming with Iron Maiden II, tactical assault transit vans driven by the Welsh Guard.
