2024 Asia Pacific GT Report By Chris Townley
Over the past weekend a group of Flames Of War players from Australia, New Zealand and even Japan gathered together at the Australian Armour and Artillery Museum in Cairns, Australia.
The museum is without doubt one of the greatest collections of, you guessed it, armour and artillery in the world, all beautifully restored and sitting safe and sound in a purpose-built facility.

Crafting Soft-Edge Camo on a German Sd Kfz 251 By Rubén Torregrosa
In this new article, we will explore how to create a soft-edge camouflage using an airbrush. Previously, we discussed how to paint hard-edge camouflage using masking putty (Unlocking the Enchantment of Highlights: Creating Contrast in 15mm Vehicles). Here, we will apply the camouflage spots directly with an airbrush to achieve a soft or blurry edge. This technique means we won't be able to add highlights or shadows to the camouflage spots, which will partially reduce the high-contrast effect we aim for when painting 15mm vehicles. However, this is precisely the purpose of camouflage: to blend the vehicle with its surroundings! For this purpose, we will paint a platoon of 6 drilling Sd.Kfz.

D-Day: Forces in Normandy, 1944 With Wayne Turner
It started with an Airborne assault, hitting vital defences behind the enemy lines. It was followed by a full-scale amphibious invasion on the beaches of Normandy. Operation Overlord was in full swing, with about 160,000 men crossing the English Channel to land on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day alone.

Card Reprints and New Website Unit and Command Card packs have provided players will a simple and easy reference when building and playing with their armies since the launch of WWIII: Team Yankee and the current edition of Flames Of War. Some years later we found ourselves with over 60 different packs of Unit and Command Cards and the challenge of trying to keep them all in stock whilst balancing print runs with our suppliers...

Building A List Using The 2nd Armored Division Army Deal With John Lee
With the launch of the D-Day 80th Anniversary Army Deals, I thought I would look at how a new player, or someone on a budget, can get an American force on the table that would be semi-competitive or at least hold its own. For the new player, it opens the door to playing Flames Of War without needing to buy, assemble or paint too much and get into playing the game quicker.

Dash To Paris With Rich Hamilton
On 1 August 1944, General Philippe LeClerc de Hauteclocque led his 2nd Free French Armored Division on to the beaches of Normandy and marched inland to help liberate their country from the Nazi regime.
During the summer of 1943, 2e Division Blindée, or the Free French 2nd Armored Division, was formed out of the LeClerc’s Africa veterans and volunteers from all over the French colonies as well as several hundred refugee Spanish Republicans...

Dynamic Points for World War III: Team Yankee
Thanks once again to everyone that provided us feedback on the proposed World War III: Team Yankee dynamic points. With so much feedback it has taken a little longer than we expected to go through it all. We’ve also seen feedback on some areas we had chosen to leave alone with this initial pass, but have (due to your feedback) decided to take a second look at. We expect to have the finalised points up in about a week and from there we will be adding the Dynamic Points option to the Forces website so you can easily build your armies with these modified points values.
Over the coming months we will continue to monitor the impact of the changes as we prepare for another review at the end of the year.
