Overview

Flames Of War! Open Fire has been carefully designed for someone who has never heard of Flames Of War before, or has seen the 256 page rulebook and not known where to start. Open Fire is not a simplified set of the Flames Of War rules, but rather a complete introductory box for a new player!

Open Fire! includes:

Complete Flames Of War full-colour mini-rulebook; 164 pages of clearly laid out rules with plenty of diagrams, including: Rules for tanks, infantry, artillery, aircraft, snipers, reconnaissance, night fighting, and more.

Special rules for the nations involved in WWII.

16 page full-colour introduction booklet. Learn the skills needed to become a famous World War II general. 6 detailed American Sherman tank miniatures. 2 detailed Sherman Firefly tank miniatures. 3 detailed German StuG G assault gun miniatures. 2 Grenadier platoons, one PaK40 platoon (72 minis, 2 AT guns) 1 US Paratrooper platoon (32 minis) 1 V1 Flying Bomb Terrain Piece 10 American dice. 10 German dice.

The introduction booklet has been written to work in conjunction with the mini-rulebook included with the set.

Its aim is to introduce you to the basic mechanics of the Flames Of War rules and to help you navigate your way through the rulebook for your first couple of games. Once you've played through the missions included, you should be ready for your first full battles.

This is truly where the war begins for your reinforcements!

Miniatures are supplied unpainted and assembly may be required.
