Flames of War seem to come out with new releases at a furious pace!
But this new development is a bit of a surprise.
Or not, I can well imagine Flames of War have been feeling the pressure from the Plastic Soldier Company and their marvelous plastic kits.

Hi, I guess they saw they weren't competitive with their metal infantry and resin vehicles but that's good for them and us as we now have a superb and affordable starter set for us and youngsters to get in the hobby or just to start yet another period or different scale! ;D

From what I have heard from my fellow gamers, the Flames of War plastics are of a quality comparable to the Plastic Soldier Company's kits. We shall see how these look, as I'm looking at buying this to get my Uncle into the game.

LOL, I was thinking to get my nephew into WWII gaming! :)
I like what I see so far, but most of the included minis I already have, the one piece that I am REALLY interested in is the V1!!!

They look much better than the current sculpts.

They look great and I especially love their new base design as it is much easier to blend in the bases without having to use lots of filler or greenstuff.

Agreed, that V1 sounds very tempting! Pics anyone?
-
I've only recently been getting into flames of war and these new models look fan-bloody-tastic. I might have to get me this starter kit.

Hi, he can be seen in this picture and is probably made out of hard plastic. ;)
-
What a temptation. I wonder how long it will take them to release the plastic infantry alone?
-
Right request time!
Anyone buying this set who doesn't want their V1 and ramp PM me!
In face three could be needed to make a ramp of the correct length( for a diorama not gaming!)
Another V1 will be fixed under a He111 ;)

The fow starterset costs £45.00 at Wayland Games
If you mean the rules, I don't have an idea of those but Agis will know the price of his own rules ;)
-
I would have gotten into Victory Decision but nobody at the club plays it and all the WW2 is with Flames of War, also I'm the new guy so I can't really be telling people what rules they should play.
-
Offer to run a game for them, once they play a game that actually offers more a authentic ww2 tactical experience they'll never go back ;-)
-
Would there happen to be any quick start rules I can use for this introductory game. Although I do fear they may murder me when I show them the ruleset and they realised they wasted all that money on the FoW books.
