Oh yeah, I forgot, in a unit of three or four tanks you have the added bonus of mistaken ID allowing you to allocate a hit on the Firefly to another unit in the squadron.
Yeah, can sometimes save the Firefly.
Give us more starter sets!
What would you put in a British Starter set?
@@OverlordGamesStore hard to say as I don’t currently own a British army… Cromwells and Churchills are a thorn in the side of my Germans though
Question, how do you separate a Firefly from the Platoon/Squadron legally in the game. I ask this given that the rules state a squadron loses any unit that drops out of formation. Or how can you use a Firefly independently as a single unit when it would be required to test for moral every turn? The enemy does not even have to worry about it that much because you will blow the moral test sooner or later.
Leave it out of command.
100% you are going to blow the test sooner or later.
Archers it is true will die to morale.. but. Where they shine is in ambush.
A 9 point unit that can pop panthers or tigers is pretty good.
Also true sexton has no armour but it's not needed to be super close to the frontlines so the front armour one ain't so bad.
Just got to be careful for speedy light tanks with Sextons. Also, completely agree about Ambush. If you have Ambush they work wonders.
I played FoW back in 2014. Is this game still tank parking lots? How are the models now? My metal italians look like they'd been through the blender 😢
Hi Rik.
It can sometimes devolve into parking lots rather quickly if the situation requires it. That is a criticism which i've always found to be reasonably accurate.
The models are so much better. With most of the combat platoons in hard plastic is such an improvement from my old falling apart panzer 4s!
The soft plastics i've had a few issues with but Battlefront have always replaced bad casts with no questions asked.
@@OverlordGamesStore good to know. Might be worth getting back in to, with a few home brew rules to prevent vehicle clusters.
Give it a try. I've had a real blast playing Flames of War. If you are ever passing by Somerset in the UK let us know and we'll gladly give you a game. :)
Dumb speech on one issue. If it is at all costs, how is it victory if it cost you all? Should ask the Germans about that one.
Agreed
