Product Information

I think the answer to fixing it lies somewhere in the middle – make it easier to get onto the beach, maybe having a guaranteed landing each turn after a particular turn like the new reserves rule. For this we’re very grateful as it’s quite hard to get the little men that make up the backbone of our forces.

The M4A1 model, recognisable by its distinctive rounded single-piece cast upper hull, was the first Sherman variant to enter combat with the US armoured forces.Like several other here, I thought the rain added inadvertant interest - it looked like irrigation ditches and boggy ground. That’s 99pts right there and your formation has five core units, backed up by a salvo template, 3 FA9 tanks with TA2 (great for assault) and a reasonable assault infantry unit that hits on 2+ in assault and has a flamer to pin the enemy. This one is a gift to Paul, as he'd previously given me a Hurricane as part of the post V3 rules planes swap that occurred here between players.

Hit the Beach is going to solve the lack of a meaty starter set and is essentially revisiting the old Open Fire Set with some different tanks.

So, I dabbled a bit in 15mm WW2 back on the cusp of FoW 2nd/3rd, loved the scale, wasn't keen on the rules. Opinions expressed here are solely those of the posters, and have not been cleared with nor are they endorsed by The Miniatures Page.

If anyone does know where the info is, could you point me in the right direction as I really don’t have a clue? Fury drops you right into the middle of tank combat during World War II and gives you a quick and easy entry point for Flames Of War with both German and American options. Unless you were extremely lucky with your landing craft you’re really pushing it to get to the back objective in 12 turns. Scott, thank you so much for being a Kapiti Wargames Club member and for being a colourful and inspirational part of our day! That got us to 75pts but the core formation is a little brittle with only three units; the army will run once it loses two of them!

Psc plastics and any number of metal figure (I'll mention my favourite, Peter Pig) mean that WW2 on 15mm is well supported. By turn six, I had got all my reserves on the table, despite needing 6's to bring them on and they rapidly starting 'At the Doubling' into the battle.

Once again, this offers up a big selection of different options for both American and German players who are looking to replicate that push off the beaches of Normandy towards positions deeper into France.

Plus you still have Stugs/Stuhs, armoured grenadiers and 88s to switch around and make a different force. The US troops are paratroopers which landed behind the enemy lines to cut off the German reinforcements trying to dislodge the main forces landing on the beaches. I feel they were providing solutions in v4 for problems that didn't exist, at least within the game.

Even as the din swallows your shouting, you see a trooper levelling his rocket launcher at the great beast’s tracks.

As usual all the kits are crisp mouldings that fit together well using the double-sided A3 sheet of exploded diagram instructions. I had to transport the main board to the venue in my trailer and it was raining, and despite plastic sheeting, some rain got through. You will also find the rules, a cut-down scenario book which helps you play out fights between these tanks and also the unit cards for each so there's very little rulebook checking during gameplay. Thy finding a bergepanther by them, I definitely feel like that they shot themselves in the foot, especially with the soft plastic figures. At this point the game comes to an end at the end of turn 12, and the Germans have held on for a win having dislodged the commandos on the beach front objective and held on to the Hinterland objective.
