How to play flames of war(enjoy)
Thank you! Looking forward to maybe a more in depth how to
Thanks, mate! Just got into this game
Is it bad I 3d print my tanks because I dont have a enough money to pay for ligitamte ones
@Kamryn Jaxxon Instablaster :)
This is more to the point and easier to follow than the official videos. Well done
Thanks
I am totally new to FoW , but thanks to this vid know some basics, how it looks like and how different it is from other tabletop systems! Yaay Thx!
Excellent video. Nice simplistic way to present the game flow. Much appreciated. I’m new to FoW but not at all new to table top wargames. Each one has its own nuances even though many similarities are shared. You do a good job of presenting everything here. I feel I can get started now right away. Thanks for posting this! 👍
Just getting into Flames of War and can't thank you enough for this video. Others have tried, but you have made a really fantastic intro/how to play video!
Good work. I think this is the best 15 minute-ish intro to FoW basics I've ever seen -- even though you didn't really address morale.
Thanks very much
Thanks for the tutorial. I'm brand new to FoW and it helps to see the concepts put into play on the table.
Thank you so much ! I finally got my head around the assault phase 🤪! Very good job 👏 👍 big love from Québec!
I watched a bunch of videos on how to play flames of war, and this one was by far the best. I took a bunch of notes and cannot wait to start playing! Thanks, you've earned yourself a sub.
Thank you glad to help.
@@JKWARGAMES i have a question, what do i have to roll to do certain movements? Like if i want to do a tactical dash, what do i have to roll?
You dont have to roll to do different moves. But if you make a blitz move you need to roll for that.
@@JKWARGAMES ok. Thanks.
Great video!!
Nice video! My only observation would be in the assault process. A team needs to be in contact with the enemy team or be in contact with another team that is DIRECTLY in contact with an enemy team to be an assaulting team. Cheers
Very informative!Thanks for posting!
Np glad you enjoyed!!
thanks for posting! learned lots.
Thanks glad to help.
Very well done and easy to understand video for a new player
Excellent demo vid!
great vid , helps me alot
Could you please tell me what game mat you are using in this video. It looks really good.
The hedge grove:That’s not cover... that’s concealment.
Yep
Great Tutorial, very simple and concise. I do have a question though. What's the usual game like in terms of points? I'm new to flames of war, but play other systems like 40k and Infinity.
Can you only play mid to late war in 4th ed , the online site still sells early war blitskrieg ministries but tyres no rules available to play ?
Could you range in somewhere on the board without targeting units? Ex. Trying to funnel units away going a certain way or a deterrent from going that way?
What gaming mat is shown in this video? I would like to purchase it. Thx!
Good video but still seems a little confusing with all the rolls that a player has to do for every action to check if anything happened! Still though very insightful and I will definitely keep your video handy once I get to playing. Thanks mate!
You make it easier to understand. Thanks.
Thanks for watching!!
No reaction fire? So you can just move in front of the enemy with no reactions?
I have a couple of quick questions regarding movement and the ‘facing’ of vehicles.
First off, every tutorial I’ve seen shows tanks moving in basic straight lines. If I want to turn my vehicle as it travels, is there any restrictions on how this works?
For example, if I want to drive around a building at tactical speed, would I simply move 5” forward, turn 90 degrees, and move a further 5”?
Also, at the end of the movement, are there any restrictions on vehicle facing/orientation? Or can I elect to have my vehicle face in any direction after moving?
For example, say I travel 10 inches ‘southbound’. When I finish moving could I have my vehicle face ‘northbound’ IE end my move facing in the opposite direction that I travelled?
I hope this makes sense!
Rhere's no restrictions on turning. You can bend your measuring tape and drive in a semi circle or move how you want. The only restriction is distance, other units in the way whaen you end your turn
So what is the terrain dash then?
nice one chap
Thank you sir!!
Good video very concise and to the point.
Is there a way to play this with 1:72 but still on a smaller scale or would that ruin the game? I see it is played with 1 to 100 but I already have some 1 to 72 models. Maybe smaller scale skirmishes at closer ranges?
Thanks, not sure 1.1 is best scale for the rules!!
Thanks
Hi! Thanks for this video. I'm a little confused about the structure of this game. Is it like you pick a country and then build out that army? Or do people tend to build out a few different country's armies (or mix and match between them)?
Many thanks, pick a country build an army!!
It seems this edition wants to be primarily about armor units
Does Flames of War have planes too?
Are the American infantry standard Battlefront miniatures? They look like they have more accurate proportions than the usual miniatures?
No they are psc!!!
@@JKWARGAMES Thanks for replying. I did wonder. They're really great miniatures, look so much more realistic. I'll definitely have to be getting some of these in future. Battlefront tanks look great but the infantry are too chunky.
@@fatfrank69 thanks yeah they are very cheap aswell lol.
@@JKWARGAMES Yeah they're a bargain!
Great video. One question, where can I get the unit's points?
Unit points are on the unit cards on the back. Or in one of the army books.
Nice vid👍
One thing, Stug is pronounced like "stook" as in book!
Lol thanks glad you enjoyed. Stook.
Where did you get that gaming mat?
Cigarbox. Thanks for watching.
Thank you for the quick reply. Is yours the 25mm or 15mm size?
@@blondknight99 25
Wait do the unit cards come with the sets or not as I'm new btw
Most new sets come with the cards, or you buy the cards separate.
@@JKWARGAMES thanks also do you think a budget of 60 quid ish could get me two sets of inf and one set of crusaders
Yeah i think so shop around. The new hit the beach starter set is out.
need help building a mid war British list
Is there a rule for gun elevation ? Cuz that Sherman’s gun is over the cover
No Flames uses a very abstract style system for cover, and line of sight.
This is ww2 version of warhammer for sure lol
Can you shoot a bailed out crew?
No the tank can still be shot at tho.
That's not how you pronounce stug.
How to play. Pick your bland cookie cutter book and cards. Forget unit history and great books like 3rd. There ya go 4th for ya.
Is 4th bad? Or is it that there's no late war flavour books out yet?
@@mattygee37 I'll tell you my view is 4th 100% bad.. short answer no.. they did fix some issues 3rd had, but in doing so I think they went at it GW way. The lists are very cookie cutter even when the new books are out. Like the new ghost company book. The lists are bland and it's really lost the spice of running a force. I mostly play Indian and once the new late war books come out I won't have an army and the mid war card is a joke. So I'm very bitter they made it almost to easy and very bland game now.
Kind of harsh and unfair. Also, rather inaccurate too. Have you even looked at the 4th edition books yet?

The book this guy is using is the STOPGAP book put out to cover late war until it gets its proper treatment. Sort of like this book. Look familiar by chance?

FoW did this years ago with previous editions where they put out a generic set of army lists to tie you over until more detailed books come out. Also, they didn't chuck the old books out in this edition. There is a version, that was given away for free, that gives conversions for old 3rd Edition books.
www.flamesofwar.com/portals/0/Documents/Version4/SpecialRulesBook.pdf
Finally, they are coming out with more detailed books this year and in coming years... basically doing what they did in 3rd edition.

@@mattygee37 It's still pretty new and they have been focused on mid-War. Late war is coming up now actually.
Also, the current books are much like the old ones with lists aimed at specific units. For example, the US book, Fighting First, is focused on the 1st Armor Division in Tunisia (so you have M4 and M3 medium companies), but includes an infantry list based off the Big Red One (1st Infantry Division).
These books are very similar to 3rd Edition, but they are a lot smaller. Fighting First "only" has 6 formations: M4, M3 medium, M3 light, armored rifles, rifles, and TD companies. So it's a lot smaller than say Market Garden, but does line up with say Remagen... but without any German lists. The rather sparse Afrika Korps book covers that in a limited way, with only 3 companies (!), and that is a legitimate criticism in my opinion.
Oh no, dont try and make the game easier and more accessible for new players!
