Lessons From The Front: 4th Edition
Last Updated March 2023
A new rule set always results in questions about how the finer points of the game should work so Lessons From The Front is the place to go to find answers to some of the harder questions.

These are living documents that we will update as often as possible but please bear in mind that whilst we listen to feedback in the forums (and other places) we need to take a considered approach before implementing any changes.

More Missions

Missions for Flames Of War - Updated March 2023
With the rulebook now adopting the revised victory conditions from the old More Missions pack, we've updated it (now just called the Missions pack) to reflect this. 

The pack contains: • Annihilation • Breakthrough • Bridgehead • Bypass • Contact • Cornered • Counterattack • Counterstrike • Covering Force  Dogfight • Dust Up • Encirclement • Encounter • Escape • Fighting Withdrawl  Free For All • Gauntlet • Hold the Pocket • It's a Trap  Killing Ground • No Retreat • Outflanked • Outmanoeuvred  Probe • Scouts Out  Spearpoint  Valley of Death • Vanguard

Each mission has a double page telling you how to play the mission and detailing the mission's special rules. You can either print each mission out on a single piece of paper (front and back) or print it as a booklet with each mission on facing pages.

The Battle Plans mission selector allows you and your opponent to choose the most appropriate missions for your forces. Each player chooses a plan (Prepared Attack, Hasty Attack, or Defend) and then you look up a table to see which mission to play and who will be the attacker.

What’s Changed in the Reprinted Flames of War Rulebook?
Battlefront have just released a reprint of the Flames of War rulebook to coincide with the launch of the new Late War period. We took the opportunity to update a few things in the reprint, but in essence it’s exactly the same (the page numbering is identical — everything is just where it was), so there is no need to rush out and buy a new copy. In this article we go through the changes and we have provided a PDF so that you can download the exact text of the changes.

Fortress Europe Command Cards Download
We had a great Late War launch weekend, and after keeping an eye on the feedback we felt like it would be a good idea to give Fortress Europe players a handful of free, official Command Cards for use with the new book. British and Soviet players will have a few more cards to cover them as they await their very own campaign book.

City Fighting

City Fighting Rules

City battles took many forms during the war. Often, the battle was fought and won in the outskirts of the city where the terrain favoured tank warfare. However, sometimes the battle had to be fought and decided in the city centre. You can play both of these types of battles in Flames Of War, and we will cover each of them in the following PDF.

Flames Of War Special Rules and Warriors 1939-41 and 1944-45

Flames Of War Special Rules and Warriors
1939-41 and 1944-45
With the release of a new edition of the Flames Of War rules, there are a few changes to how the rules work. With a vast library of published Intelligence Handbooks available to use for building forces for Flames Of War, we didn’t want to lose any of those great books in the transition.

Late War Players - these rules have now been replaced by the D-Day through Berlin Series of books, which are fully designed for V4.

Flames Of War, Special Rules and Warriors, 1939-41 and 1944-45 provides you with updated special rules and Warriors so that you can continue to use your Early- and Late-war Flames Of War forces with the new Flames Of War, 1939-41 and 1944-45 rulebook.

Under the heading of each Intelligence Handbook, you will find a list of rules sorted by nation. Each of these sections also contains updated versions of the Warrior rules from the same Intelligence Handbook.
