This should be correct. I forgot to save this in 2.5, so you’ll need 2.7 to open it.

pictures of this new game
Looks great although I wish there were more plastic pieces.
-
These pieces can be used to make:
Paratroopers for UK, Germany, USA 1-2-1-4 ( +1 first round)
Waffen SS for Germany 5-4-2-9 unit
Tank Destroyers for Germany and USA 3-4-2-7 unit
Heavy Tanks for Germany 4-4-2-8
Heavy artillery for Germany and USA 3-2-5
Panzer Grenadiers for Germany 2-2-2-4
plus glider troops for USA… these are jeeps not sure how to use them.
-
So the scale is A&A appropriate?
-
yes perfectly. just the colors are off ( grey and dark green)
-
This would make for an awesome advanced BotB game then!
-
Looking at the game set-up the map looks rather… empty. There doesn’t look like there’s too many pieces involved really, and AA1942 is like 25 bucks on eBay.

It looks like you get about 45 pieces total in the Flames of War game so if I buy it, it wouldn’t be for the pieces as that would come to about $1 a piece.
If you wanted extra pieces AA1942 would be a better buy.
If you just want different pieces, I’d wait for FMG.

IS this a stand alone game or do you need flames of war mintures?
also is Flames of war a good mintures game? is it realistic or is it just WW2 40k?
-
Flames of war is horrible IMO.
This new product is a stand alone game and does not involve ‘miniatures’
You get like 45 pieces but they are very nice, and 7 dice 2 German, 2 US, 2 British Paratroopers, one aircraft die.
The large map can easily be used to make a AA game and you get combat arrows to indicate attacks.
If you want unique plastic pieces only it may or may not be worth $40, but i think you can buy it under $40 on ebay.

This is the second in a line called FIRESTORM.
the first was: FIRESTORM - The Bagration Campaign which is set on the eastern front in 1944.
i ordered two copies from a place called The War Store, its on clearance for under $40, $36.95 in think, i got two copies for $79.93(thats including shipping). the pieces look good enough for me, plus the game seems like it could be kinda fun to play, which is what its all about in the first place…having fun. check it out!

Here is an upclose look at the pieces:
-
yes thats more like it. You see these are perfect for AA.
-
Are those flight stands that come with the airplanes?
-
I just sent them an email asking them to please sell the pieces individually. They said they would pass the suggestion on to the rest of the team. If we all hound them then they might just do it so we could buy them without paying the 60 or 70 dollar retail for the entire box.
Here is the contact info.
-
I paid $38 per game.

I recieved my two copies of FIRESTORM - The Bagration Campaign this weekend. The pieces are metal! really great if you plan on casting molds with them. The infantry and Partisan pieces stand just under the A&A infantry. not enough to make a hugh difference but there is a difference just the same. all other pieces,fighters, tanks, artillery, trucks and trains look very nice and are a perfect match!
These are really great pieces and if the plastic ones from the Market Garden game are just as nice i cant wait to get two copies of it as well. Great find IL!
