Welcome to the Flames Of War and Battlefront Miniatures website. Last Updated On Thursday, 19 November 2009 New to Flames Of War? Want to find out more? Pack up your old kit bag; you’re going to Boot Camp!

Attention: Due to a syncing issue we lost a bunch of users from the site yesterday. We have now restored most of them, but a few have slipped through the cracks. If you have trouble logging on currently you may have to create another account.   Welcome to another Flames Of War website update. This week we have a brief history of the battle for Stalingrad. This is to kick start our mid-war eastern front focus for the release of Eastern Front (the revitalised and expanded Ostfront) that is approaching in January. Over the next few months we’ll be adding a variety of Mid-war eastern front articles to go with the new compilation. Pete wanted us to mention Edward Woodward died recently. He starred in a number of roles through his long acting carreer including Callan, Breaker Morant and The Equalizer. Some may remember Callan because of the often featured Napoelonic Wargaming scenes. More about Edward Woodward...
