The Future of Flames of War

As I said, the game announcements are coming fast and furious. This latest bit has to do with our favorite WWII miniatures game - Flames of War.

First off, the second edition of the rulebook will be coming this August - and it's a hardback edition (I love hardbacks). But I know that some of you are saying "but I don't WANT to buy another rulebook." Guess what? If you already own the current rulebook Battlefront is going to give you the new rules for free. That's right. They're creating a special rulebook to update those people who don't want to buy the rulebook again and they'll be giving it away through the stores. Just bring in your old rulebook and we get to give you the new rules set - and you keep your old book (we just stamp it with "I survived mid-war".

This is normally the kind of thing that players wistfully fantasize about but know is never going to happen. Well, it's happening.

But that's not all.

Battlefront is going to consolidate all of the intelligence manuals into two theater books. Eastern front and Western front. Each of these will give you all of the stats and rules for the forces involved so you don't have to buy a new book just to know your enemies forces.

But that's not all.

In Septemeber Battlefront will release a new Late War book covering every country as of January 1944. Then in November they'll release a new Normandy campaign book followed by four division books covering the divisions that took part in the Normandy period of the war. There are more forward looking plans for late war that you can read about on the Flames of War page.

But that's not all.

How long have we been asking for planes? They're coming
How about some nice terrain and buildings? GF9 has that covered.
How about early war? Covered
How about a new period entirely? Keep your eyes pealed.
