Eastern Front

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...

We also have another Intelligence Briefing becoming Official, some Product Spotlights on terrain from Gale Force Nine, and a preview of Wargames Illustrated 266.

This Saturday (21 November) the following also hit the shelves of your local gaming store.
