Flames of War

Posted on by

We just got in some of the core figures and books for Flames of War.

From the Wikipedia article: “Flames of War (abbreviated as FoW) is a World War II tabletop miniatures wargame produced by the New Zealand company Battlefront Miniatures Ltd. The 1st Edition set of rules was published in 2002.

Flames of War allows players to wargame company level battles from the European and North African Theatres of World War Two, using 1/100 scale miniatures (15 mm figure scale) and miniature armour. In the 1st Edition rulebook basic army lists were provided for the mid-war period (1942–1943), while Battlefront published early (1939–1941) and late war (1944–1945) army lists on their website (subsequently these early and late war lists were removed). The 2nd Edition of the rulebook was published in 2006. The 3rd Edition of the rules was released on March 10, 2012.”

More models will be arriving in the coming weeks.  Look out for a demo coming in March/April!  I’ll be sure to let you know the date.

February 15th is the 3rd Saturday of the month which means it is a Win-A-Box standard tournament. Starting at 1pm Saturday will be a 4-5 round swiss event with a cut to a Top-8 single elimination playoff.
Prizes are as follows:

The entrance fee is $10.

Our Born of the Gods Sealed League starts February 20. You will receive 3 booster packs each of BotG and Theros. Build a deck of at least 40 cards from the cards you open. Play against 4 different league players each week to win points – play additional matches for tie-breakers. You may change the deck at anytime.
After each week, you may buy 1 booster pack (discounted to $3.50) and add any those cards to your deck. The league will run for 5 weeks (total of 20 matches). Prizes will be based on the number of entrants.
League matches may be played at any time. People may join at any time starting February 20.

The next Duel Deck, Jace vs Vraska, releases March 14, 2014. Retails for $19.99. I’ll be taking pre-orders February 14 to 28, 2014 at only $15.99.
