Flames of War. I finally caved...

So I finally caved.  With 3rd Edition of Flames of War coming out, I decided it was time to join the fray.  I picked up the Flames of War 3rd Edition mini-rulebook and have started to dig in, and so far I like what I see.  It will probably be a while before I actually get to play a game, but when I do, look for the battle report here! 

My adversary will undoubtedly be Badelaire, my usual opponent.  After some discussion of what theater and time period that interests us, we've settled on the North Africa campaign.  The mystique of Rommel the Desert Fox has always appealed to me, so I will be building a Afrikakorps force modeled after the 21st Panzer Division.  Badelaire will be taking command of the Brits, for as he said "their tanks were always outgunned by the Germans, so whenever you managed to kill a Panzer, you know you earned it."

I think we're in for some interesting games in our future!

Welcome aboard sir ... it is the most demonstrably tactical and enjoyably balanced game I've played so far. An excellent company that frankly make GW look amateur in speed, resources, releases and content. You will not regret this a moment.

I just ordered the new rulebook a couple days ago. Welcome to the Brotherhood of FOW.
