your second way of saying Pershing is correct, all together no pause in the middle. Great video btw

[@OverlordGamesStore]

Thank you!

I got this about a year ago and was amazed at the amount of models I got in the hit the beach starter set. Built all the Shermans most the troops but then stopped videos like this one gonna have me breaking them out and getting them painted thank you!!

[@OverlordGamesStore]

Great to give you some motivation. Keep going. Its worth it!

[@gunberyl3075]

Make some vids of your progress. I need some inspiration too.

I got the hit the beach set way back and the booklet that came with it for quick start rules was called Open Fire. The infantry component of the allies were the US Paratroopers, and the armour were British Army tanks. The rules covered the profile of each unit.

I remember Open Fire! I believe I bought the original one with the plastic Shermans which were made of a weird plastic.

Cool

I’m doing my research before getting into either Flames of War or Bolt Action. I’m an armor officer, so I like the tank focus of Flames of War, but I like the random turn order of Bolt Action. The starter sets of Flames of War do make entry easier.
If I were to get either Spearhead or Combat Command, plus a German starter, would I have all of the rulebook and accessories required to play, or would I have to get another starter set also?

Hiya,
Each box would come with the correct unit cards and an A5 copy og the rules?
You'd need a tape measure, dice and a template, although you could make one of these out of paper/card.
Welcome to the game. :)

I got Hit the Beach for the Germans, and stayed for the Americans!

I hope the video helps you decide what to go for next :)
