I’m curious if the FoW stuff is a permenant addition to the store, or just a bootcamp weekend thing. Are you finally getting non-GW stock?
Good question!
I wish there was a place like this close to where I live. You guys rock
Since version 4 has come out Battlefront has really put out some great stuff. The Boot Camp stuff has been great. Thanks
Fantastic the weekend has begun… Hope to see a video from the tables overview.. they are looking fabulous.. Have fun guys and i will follow it from behind the pc 🙂
All the stronk Soviet armour.
Can’t wait to see those armies on the table! Especially on the city table
Bring it on!
Going to be doing a bit of Panzer Leader with@oriskany and @damon today as we were all unable to make it this time.
We’ll all be tuning in to keep up with everything that’s going on today.
All too true, @brucelea . 😀 We’ll be recreating the landings on Gold Beach (“Jig” sector) with 1st Hampshires and 1st Dorsets, Sherwood Rangers (DD Shermans), 82nd Assault Squadron Royal Engineers, Sherman “Crabs” of the Westminster Dragoons, 2nd Devonshire in the second wave along with 47th Royal Marine Commandos.
They’ll be resisted by elements of
1) Grenadier Rgt 916 / 352 Infantry Division (backed up by 352’s Artillery)
2) Ost Battalion 441, Inf Regiment 726, 716th Static Infantry Division (+ elements 1,716th Arty Rgt).

Also keeping up with the gamers, hobbyists and especially reenactors at the Boot Camp! Awesome work so far EVERYONE! 😀 😀 😀
The weather is poo today, so I won’t be forced to do outside stuff. Roll on the Boot Camp.
What camo pattern with Warren paint on his tanks?
I love that city table.
I have to get my brother to print out a load of buildings for me.
Would be great to play on it.
Those tables are awesome.
Looking forward to see a few battle reports! Always someting to learn!
What changed in FoW? I have not played in awhile…
Can you guys give us a few example builds for LW armies for us people who still don;t have Fortress Europe?
Are the game rules divided by timeline? This content seems geared specifically towards Late War, is that dictated by the rulebook or jus the American presence and the theming of the starters on DDay?
There are early and late war rulebooks.
Wish i could get others to play Flames of War at my local club. I really wanna do a British Rifle Company with all those lovely toys (WASP anyone?).
Can’t wait to see the battle reports!
Hope everyone is having fun
So much great content so far today.
Great tables, great battles.
Ugh. Still can’t decide. Flames of war OR Bolt action.
Any chance seeing a “demo” game of FOW4? Watching Warren take on Justin in Normandy would be a blast???
can’t wait to see the game on the big table.
I’m waiting to see what other bundles will be coming in the near future. Some of the older stuff had some huge box sets.
Loving the live blog today, loads of interesting content.
The bootcamp looks awesome as always guys!
You guy’s rock! Thank you for the coverage of the event. I would have come but it’s to far away from where I live.
Loyd’s debris and powder concoctions really set off the Caen table. Very Nice. Now a 20 pound sledge to a few areas to simulate carpet bombing and…
I generally end up playing German Infantry Heavy armies (though I have a liking for 10th Panzer in North Africa).
So, when are Dawn and Gianna hosting a boot camp in the Chicago-land area? I could definitely attend (even help with) one of those…and with a friend or 2 as well.
Will there be rules for the flying bomb added in future books I wonder
Can we get John a tanker Uniform?
Can i get FoW toys on the store from now on chaps? looks fab fun at the event.
Gerry + Pearl Jam T shirt =Awesome
I never played FoW, but would definitely play the Russian army, not much love for these guys these days.
Bring on day 3……I’m ready.
There’s so much new content that I’m forwarding getting more into FoW!
Love this series of video’s so far. You really have got me interested to play 🙂
I’m so excited for another day of flames of war boot camp!
I love the look of version 4. I need to get involved with FOW and get some Americans to go play some games at my local shop.
Thank you John …for being the voice of reason in all things ww2
The tables are stunning guys hat doffed to you all… one day I’ll make it over for a bootcamp
Having celebrated my mum’s 70th yesterday it’s now time for some Saturday Boot Camp catch up.
Man! Loving this! Will have to look at it in detail tonight!
I knew Warren would bring out some cool and wacky stuff at some point!
Catching up on Days 2 and 3. Thanks for the posts!
Big thanks vr this 2nd day. Will now try to catch up on today.
Watch the falling debris from those buildings they could ruin the paint job.
Day 2 is the meat of the bootcamp – such a variety of stuff going on and loads of chat and laughter – the coverage really brings that across!
I love the new kits and how they are making getting started and increasing your forces so much easier. I miss the metal tanks, but in no way to I miss the metal soldiers. The new kits are so much easier to build and paint. Way to go Flames of War.
I diffinetly need to order the ‘Colors of War’ book. I really like how it covers the Team Yankee material also.
Day Two down. Plenty of painting done and plenty of comments commented. Seems like a good use of my day off so far.
Good to see that Battlefront have re-shot and released their FoW basics videos on YouTube. Something to point the newbs at the club towards!
As ‘charismatic’ as you’d expect from a group of NZ hobby nerds 😉
Looks like a fun time.
Awesome stuff. Whish I could have been there!
Looking forward to another great day of coverage!
Looking forward to watching these videos and seeing the coverage even if it is after the fact.
The big game was good fun, despite doing so awfully in it.
What great paintings in here, it gives motivation!
To me Fury is clearly the go-to for beginners who don’t want to be overwhelmed while discovering the hobby. And quite cheap too.
I really hope you’re going to be stocking more FoW stuff.
Even though the Live Blog was a week ago I keep coming back and rewatching and reading the content. Very fun and entertaining stuff
