The first of the updates has been completed. Day of Days and Carentan Pt 1 and 2 have been reorganized, and a terrain map has been included for Day of Days. Work is progressing on the three remaining scenarios and they will be getting reworked over the next few days.

Ahem! Well, my apologies for the chronic lack of updates, as well as not replying to many of the emails you have sent me concerning the table images. The Scenario pages are now in the process of getting revamped to follow the 'standard' layout of Flames of War scenarios, so any missing maps should be appearing then. Thank you for your patience and check back soon for an ACTUAL update.

Introduction

This website grew out of a desire to re-enact the exploits of the 101st Airborne, 506th PIR, E Company during the European campaign. I have decided to use the Flames of War ruleset to do this for two reasons. Firstly, it is a company based wargame so perfect for representing the appropriate battles and secondly, it is made in New Zealand, as am I .. thus making it a far superior product to any other on the market :)

Anyway, enough of this .. on with the gaming.

What you need

In order to play the scenarios contained herein you will require the following:
  • A copy of the Flames of War rulebook .. available from the BattleFront website and good stockists
  • Sufficient miniatures to represent those required in each scenario
  • Some 6-sided dice
  • A tape measure (with feet or inches, the FoW rules work with both)
  • A table of up to 6' by 8' to play on
  • Sufficient terrain to represent that which is required in the scanarios
The following isn't absolutly neccessary, but does tend to make the game more enjoyable:
  • A copy of the Band of Brothers soundtrack to play while gaming .. available from Time Warner Records
