Flames of War - can tanks control an objective?
« on: 04 March 2025, 08:53:39 PM »
The title says it all. I thought I read somewhere that armor could not hold an objective. Thanks in advance.

From Lesseons from the Front V4:

Quote
The reprinted (Late War) rulebook has
a change to how Holding Objectives
works. The rule now reads:
You are Holding an Objective if you
start your turn with a Tank, Infantry,
or Gun team within 4”/10cm of an
Objective, and end it with no opposing
Tank, Infantry, or Gun teams within
4”/10cm of that Objective.
This is the same method of taking and
Holding Objectives that was introduced
in More Missions in 2017.

People still playing Flames of War then? That game died a quick death locally with the release of V4.

Thank you. Great information. Our group started with v2, moved to v3 and just stayed there as we thought that v4 was too tank heavy and we have large infantry armies.
Thanks again!
Greg
