Flames of War April 11th Releases
There are 5 new releases coming on April 11th for Flames of War. 4 of them are for the soviets and one for the Germans. If you’re a fan of big guns, American armour on lease to the soviets, amphibious vehicles or nasty AA guns then there is something for you in this release.
First up we have the FlaK Nests for the German late war army. These guys were set up on roofs and in attics to help swat pesky planes out of the sky. With quad 2cm (20mm) cannons these could put holes in enemy armour as well. They look really cool as they come with a building that the cannon sits on.
The next release is the Ford GPA Amphibous Jeep for the Soviets. This guy was well suited to river crossings. A pretty situational model, but if you are planning on playing some river based battles it might be worth looking into.
Next up is another item that was loaned to the Soviets near the end of the war. The M-10 tank was shipped in limited numbers at the end of the war and as such didn’t see that much service. If you are playing late war Soviets it might make for a nice themed force.
With all the heavy armour the Germans had in the late war the Soviets needed something that packed some serious punch. The 85mm obr 1939 gun was the solution to this problem. This guy can punch holes in the heaviest armour.
Finally we have some stealthy recon for the Soviets. The Spetsnaz Platoon has all your recon needs covered. Hard to detect, deadly from an ambush these infantrymen are fearless and will get the job done. They get to use the Forward Detachment and Decoy special rules so you know they’re going to be a thorn in any opponents side.
