I've seen the models before, but I don't think I'll get into it. Just not my cup of tea.

I'd have to agree with Smurf, although I've already played the game; I will tell you that I was totally bored out of my mind... ...that same day I tried the re-release of Classic Battletech, and dayum I damn near creamed myself, hee hee.

Flames of War, to be honest, is played by a crowd of fat, old, bearded men who love to live in the past and discuss what "could have been". This was another reason I could never get into the game, because it's a "historical" recreation kind of game, and to me, those always blow.

Anyhow, just "my" thoughts...

Well you guys are enabled to have your opinions and thats totally cool! but i love history and wargaming so 1+1= ME HAPPY Very Happy

I've only seen the models that all. I couldn't really say more than that they acurately depict the troops of those times. Although i love world war 2 history i just don't think playing games that could have been would be fun. or maybe they would be. what i love about 40k is that it's story line just keeps expaniding. anyways thats my 2 cents
