Battlefront FWBX09BFM Flames of War-Hit The Beach Starter Set, Multicoloured, 17 x 2.25 x 12 inches

Product Information

Some mention that the quality is pretty good for 15mm and that it's easy to build, even if you are a beginner.

I never understood why they just didn't make new molds when the old ones wore out to keep them in production, and instead chose to have newer, inferior figs produced which many people disliked. I think the answer to fixing it lies somewhere in the middle – make it easier to get onto the beach, maybe having a guaranteed landing each turn after a particular turn like the new reserves rule.Opinions expressed here are solely those of the posters, and have not been cleared with nor are they endorsed by The Miniatures Page. The platoon is armed with enough bazookas to make any opponent think twice about assaulting with armor and the attached transport M3 half-tracks each bring a 30 or 50 cal machine gun to put the hurt on any infantry brave enough to move in the open. Scott, thank you so much for being a Kapiti Wargames Club member and for being a colourful and inspirational part of our day! In short I can see splitting the set being a popular option and with only two boxes you have a rounded force ready for the battlefield. I believe that is unique in terms of FOW starter sets and I don’t know why we don’t get more of them.

That and the difficulty of getting his tanks off the soft sand, just about made it a none starter for him, despite playing to 12 turns, he never really threatened the Hinterland objective, so would just about find it impossible to get a win. The box is a good place to start mechanized American armies with a variety of units that can support or form the core of multiple formations.I'm sure that a lot of folks are going to enjoy delving down into this set and enjoying a new avenue into World War II in 15mm.

The Germans are always a tricky force due to their great stats but high costs, they are the elite nation of Flames of War.

I’ve always been a 28nm and 20mm player in the past but since getting Hit the Beach I’m a big 15mm fan. I’ve long wanted to do an airborne army and with the set I’d already got plus this new platoon, I’ve now got a great basis. There are other rule sets out there, I moved onto Battlegroup and at least 1000 former FOW players also. German defenders have a 88mm pillbox to the right, a 75mm pillbox to left and a defilade 5cm KwK nest centrally. When the German Panther hit the battlefield in 1943, American engineers designed a new turret for the Sherman mounting a more powerful 76mm gun.

I use 2p for SL, 1p for JL, and 20mm squares (same size as pennies, but different shape) or 20x40 rectangles for squaddies.The Fortress Europe book has also revealed the contents of the new starter armies and they are much bigger than the Mid War versions, with guns, tanks and infantry in them. Warlord have done a fantastic job in supporting Bolt Action, and allowing players options for customisation and personalising their armies, like FoW turned it's back on. While some sets are better value than others all of them can be made to viable 100pt armies with only two more boxes, or less in some cases. Hit the Beach is going to solve the lack of a meaty starter set and is essentially revisiting the old Open Fire Set with some different tanks. Flames of War is a 15mm, turn-based battle game by Battlefront, recreating historical battles that took place during World War II.
