You must purchase all of the guns from one Gun Section before adding any extra teams from the second Gun Section.

Füsilier Platoon - p.31
The troops of 352. Infanteriedivision were exceptionally well equipped. Instead of the 43 machine-guns usually allocated to a Grenadier battalion, they had 60 machine-guns like a Panzergrenadier (armoured infantry) battalion. As a result they are not rated as Rifle/MG teams, but rather as MG teams.

I have prepared this list against an US or UK Tank Company. It has 3 AT13 guns with an AT16 gun which would be a nightmare combination for most tank companies.

Campaign 2012 - "Road to Berlin"

Tue, 20 Mar 2012 10:41:00 +0300

As 3rd Edition came out we have decided to have a new campaign using the new ruleset. The campaign will start at the end of March. The starting period is after Operation Market-Garden but before Ardennes Offensive (Battle of Bulge). The Allies' target is to capture Berlin while the Axis players try to get 30 additional hexes and keep their initial ones to persuade the Allies to a a cease-fire.

As campaign master I have prepared a new blog to track and give information about the order and status of players and armies. You can find the Turkish rules and information at http://campaign2012.unimogtr.com/. If you have any questions or recommendation please contact me.

IBX02 - Italian Carri Platoon

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 15:59:00 +0300

The set which fits both Early War and Late War era has 5 tanks which can be built either as M13/40 or as M14/41.

The M13/40 in Flames Of War

			Armour
Name	Mobility	Front	Side	Top	Equipment and Notes
Weapon	Range	ROF	Anti-tank	Firepower
M13/40	Fully-tracked	2	1	1	Co-ax MG, Twin MG, Slow tank, Unreliable.
47/32 gun	24"/60cm	2	6	4+

"The M13/40 is rated as a Slow Tank and can only move 8"/20cm normally or 16"/40cm At the Double."

“The M13/40 is rated as Unreliable. This must be taken into account if you plan on moving At the Double to take advantage of its extra movement or try moving into rough terrain. Either can lead to the vehicle breaking down.”

"The M13/40 has a Twin MG. A Twin MG functions as a standard vehicle MG but has ROF 4 when firing on its own ot ROF if any other guns shoot at the same time."

The M14/41 in Flames Of War

			Armour
Name	Mobility	Front	Side	Top	Equipment and Notes
Weapon	Range	ROF	Anti-tank	Firepower
M14/41	Fully-tracked	3	2	1	Co-ax MG, Twin hull MG.
47/32 gun	24"/60cm	2	7	4+

"The M13/40 is similar looking to the M14/41 of Mid-war, but it is powered by a smaller engine. However, it has good armour of 3 in the front, which compares favourability with the armour of the British cruiser and light tanks it faces. The 47/32 gun of the M13/40 has an Anti-tank rating gun of 6, with a Firepower of 4+. This gun has a high-explosive round giving it another advantage over the British."

"The Italian tanker was brave, but not experienced. However the 47mm gun and thick armour of their tanks was a match for the British cruisers, allowing them to halt British thrusts when concentrated with supporting guns."

AC008 - Italian FIAT CR.42 Falco Aircraft Set

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 15:54:00 +0300

You get 3 x FIAT CR.42 Falco aircrafts with this set.

GBX46 - German Heavy Artillery Battery

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 14:59:00 +0300

The set comes with one Command SMG team, one Observer Rifle team, one Artillery Staff team and four gun teams which can be built either as 10cm K18 guns or as 15cm sFH18.

The Heavy Artillery Battery in Flames Of War

Weapon	Mobility	Range	ROF	Anti-tank	Firepower	Notes
s10cm K18 gun	Immobile	32"/80cm	1	15	2+
Firing bombardments		96"/240cm	-	4	4+
15cm sFH18 howitzer	Immobile	24"/40cm	1	11	1+	Bunker buster, Smoke.
Firing bombardments		80"/200cm	-	5	2+	Smoke bombardment.

"The Heavy Artillery Battery may not be deployed in Ambush."


"Both the s10cm K18 gun and the 15cm sFH18 howitzer are rated as Immobile and can only move if towed."

"In direct fire, the s10cm K18 gun packs a serious punch (Anti-tank 15) with plenty of range (32"/80cm). This can make opponents think twice before coming anywhere near your artillery battery."

"When firing bombardments, the s10cm K18 gun has plenty of range (96"/240cm) and the firepower (4+) to soften up dug in infantry anywhere on the tabletop."

"When firing bombardments, the 15cm sFH18 howitzer has plenty of range (80"/200cm) and the firepower (2+) to soften up dug in infantry anywhere on the tabletop."

"The 15cm sFH18 howitzer has the ability to fire Smoke in either direct fire or as a Smoke bombardment. Smoke can be used to conceal your units as they advance across the table or to prevent a specific enemy unit from targeting your troops."

“The 15cm sFH18 howitzer is rated as Bunker Buster. A weapon with this attribute score a hit on a team in a building, it also hits every other team in the building. This can make your opponents think twice about using buildings for cover and concealment”

"In direct fire, the 15cm sFH18 howitzer packs a serious punch (Anti-tank 11) despite its limited range (24"/60cm). This can make opponents think twice before trying to overrun your artillery battery."

FRX05 - French All-Terrain Towed 105mm Artillery Battery

Thu, 11 Aug 2011 14:49:00 +0300

The set includes; 1 Command Rifle Team, 1 Observer Team, 1 Artillery Staff Team, 1 Motorcycle with sidecar and 4 105mm C mle 1935 B howitzer gun teams.

The 105mm C mle 1935 B howitzer in Flames Of War

Weapon	Mobility	Range	ROF	Anti-tank	Firepower	Notes
105mm C mle 1935 B howitzer	Heavy	16"/40cm	1	7	2+	Gun shield, Smoke.
Firing bombardments		72"/180cm	-	4	4+	Smoke bombardment.

"All-terrain Towed 105mm Artillery Batteries may not be deployed in Ambush."

"The 105mm C mle 1935 B howitzer has a Gun shield which means that even if you fail a Gun save, your opponent must make a Firepower test to destroy that team. But remember, Gun shields only provide Bulletproof cover from shots fired from in front of the gun."

"Observer teams need a good view of the battlefield in order to do their job correctly. Be sure to deploy them in a position where they have a excellent view of the battlefield such as a hilltop or on the top floor of a multi-level building.

"An artillery platoon with a Staff team can repeat an artillery bombardment in subsequent turns once it has ranged in on an aiming point. You do not need to roll again to range in, nor is there any penalty to the score needed to hit if your artillery Ranged In on the second or third attempts."

"The 105mm C mle 1935 B howitzer has the ability to fire Smoke in either direct fire or as a Smoke bombardment. Smoke can be used to conceal your units as they advance across the table or to prevent a specific enemy unit from targeting your troops."

"When firing bombardments, the 105mm C mle 1935 B howitzer has plenty of range and the firepower to soften up dug in infantry anywhere on the tabletop."

"With an Anti-tank rating of 7 in Direct Fire, your opponent must respect the serious threat these guns pose to their tanks."

"The 105mm C mle 1935 B howitzer has a Mobility rating of Heavy, giving it 2"/5cm of movement. With this limited movement, make sure you deploy them in an ideal position, for example, behind some linear terrain and close enough to contest an objective. Remember, if you have to move these guns for whatever reason they must remain stationary for a whole turn before it can fire a bombardment."
