Flames of War Unboxing: British Starter Force

[@rollingo8678]

10:47 what Justin sees as a Maxim is actually a Vickers machine gun. They look very similar so they’re easily mistaken

[@richardmacpherson7647]

Oooo.. Don't know how to play Flames of war... But these kits are lovely.

[@mikereger1186]

You can tell a “late” Churchill (mk VII onwards) by the round side hatches. Earlier ones are rectangular.

[@icebearcriminal1265]

""acquired"" lol'd at the rough Irish tones, another great value box

[@dotplot8675]

Churchills and universal carriers definitely sold on beginning with this for my next army build

[@greywulfslair]

Now THAT'S the one I want! Such a lovely, brilliant set.

[@BlackNRedBiker]

Would be great with a Tog II fitted out with tea making facilities 😁 great value box tho, would be a good start to a British force while waiting for their newer releases In Feburary

[@andreaspersson5639]

Honestly tempted by this set (I haven't even looked at FoW since V4 dropped...). Would like to add some more infantry, though (I need a Rifle Platoon at least, not just a motor platoon)

[@daigloomminiaturepainting303]

Wish they'd make these for team yankee

[@jademageman4819]

Great to see you guys collabing with designers/devs. Nice interview style unboxing

[@jasonmcleod4682]

My grandfather was the BREN gunner for his squad and in Italy he was instrumental for capturing a damaged German Tank. Took the crew by surprise when they fled the crawlspace they were hiding in. No shots fired.

[@chrisjensen1975]

The British box is maybe the best box out of the 4 Army boxes that just came out. Thanks for showing this unboxing.

[@Rubbseh]

I love the set, already have some 25pdrs though, tempting price on your store though!

[@treyspencer1659]

The two front plates are different. The one without the machine gun port is for the firefly because they firefly does not have a hull machine gunner in order to make space for the massive 17 pounder rounds

[@cpe111]

The called the Bren gun an odd weapon but it was used through to the of 90's in the guise of the LMG (L4A4).

[@kalebthecrazy8819]

Ive liked and subed and I am considering of getting into flames of war so that's why i love this channel because they give me good ideas

[@kevinhale9400]

Bren guns are awesome. You do have to get used to the fact that the line of fire walks so the gun can be stabilized with sandbags.

[@altertroll9135]

A lot of content. Wish i had this Box 2 years ago when started Battlegroup (shame on me).

[@20peas]

These are so good! My British hubby would live them. I see them in our future...

[@ericgrider7593]

Great unboxing, thanks for showing us the new kit.

[@SgtLambert]

A fine selection and I really like the build options. Unfortunately as an old player I already have everything in the box. So my only question/suggestion would be: can you make a legal formation from the contents?

[@gregwaugh616]

I would add some M5 half tracks to make the infantry part of the Motor Batallion and some 6 ponders plus tows.

[@glyndwr1391]

Love the box set think this would be a good starting point to try 15mm for a newbi

[@Allen00410]

Great starter set! I'm new to this and thinking of starting the hobby. I have been watching videos on bolt action too. can anyone explain to me what the different between flames of war and bolt action are? can you use the same miniatures in both games?

[@edwinward258]

nice to see the m8 option on the sprue good job on the designer part

[@maltebusterrisgaardbrnder7589]

Interesting set, maybe I should get into some ww2-stuffs :P

[@jonathanp1621]

Great box set, all you need to add are some more fireflies

[@edwinward258]

outstanding options on the bren gun carrier love it

[@JBeasley]

Don't play Brits, but the box is astounding. Keep providing great content!

[@halchu672]

Nice to see infantry models, I'd worry about painting them all for same

[@gitguzzla2713]

I wonder how much there is to expand upon in these factions, the starter boxes seem huge

[@rolldog6610]

What a great box set, almost makes me want to start collecting a British army now too

[@SkeletalCommissar]

I wish I could afford to get into this game, but I just spent a ton on my imperium army for 40k. The models are just so cool

[@Svejir]

Wish they had a MidWar Starter for the Tommy's with some more PBI in it.

[@elenaclose3083]

Hard to get a sense of the scale, are they 28mm? Nice stuff

[@scottlewis3506]

Love that box set. Though I should probably finish painting my Marines, Soviets, Iraqis, and Israelis first. I might have a bit of a problem..

[@sgtsharp1537]

although the 2pdr had HE it was broadly useless, being a relitively high velocity AT gun, the walls of the shell where thick, and lacked HE filling, and generally acted better as APHE than HE, so it wasn't mass produced untill later in the war when New Zealand started making them, plus why bother giving 2pdr tanks a near useless shell when there were tanks with 3 inch howitzers, the later 6pdr lacked HE as it was designed as an AT gun and just hurriedly put into tank turrets.

[@gozewstuffnthings5837]

Infantry sections still carry extra ammo for the LMG now ;)

[@macca-of1yc]

Another great review! Are these for sale on the OTT site?

[@OnTableTop]

Yes, find them at store.ontabletop.com/product-category/flames-of-war/

[@darrengamer8189]

That is such a cool box crammed with plastic sprue goodness!

[@Mikedadof2]

Hope that it's available in New Zealand

[@SinOfAugust]

I think most people from previous editions already have a deluge of various Shermans. That’s a bit of a sticking point for me.

[@johnbriggs4517]

Looks easy to put together, nice little set

[@odinswolf1969]

wish I could have had the option of the plastic models when I started flames of war

[@edwinward258]

i all so love the option to make the crocodile

[@5p3cu10]

This box set is beautiful!!

[@redgreen09]

looks good to me to bad thay do not have a 135th scale box that big so ues the tacks in yes 4ok see as post

[@thetabletopexperience731]

A bunch of people at my local game shop have gotten into historical games. I think I'm gonna have to soon.

[@billcroft4254]

Great box, must get, the plastic keeps getting better.

[@lordcypher7922]

A huge amount of models and a good base to start from the only thing I would of liked to of seen was an armoured car of some kind

[@matt6477]

The Bren was the best light machine gun of ww2 ….. a brilliant weapon which was in service in the British Army until the 1990s ….

[@donaldkelly9833]

Another tempting starting point for the game.

[@hollymabe8219]

Wow they certainly cover everything, good coverage

[@Kondi2100]

Lovely! Good work gents!

[@maxxon99]

I like how these boxes have infantry too.

[@ModellingforAdvantage]

Another great video chaps!

[@Kaiserbill2]

Have been waiting for this one.

[@justincooper6424]

Box openings make me happy

[@michaelfetsick3495]

They kitbashed the firefly. "Real wargaming" fun

[@castellanash]

Super tempted by Flames of War just can't decide on which force.

[@barbarossavr]

a comet or cromwell maybe for slightly later war

[@UglebsJournal]

Wow, that's a ton of tank options in there

[@yendub]

Need to get them after the Germans, Soviets, and Americans. So many goodies!!!!!

[@spamspam8041]

Would be nice to see them built, great showcase tho

[@maladielordofcollapse9774]

Those tanks look great

[@NoshrokGrimskull]

Oooooh, Crocodiles!! Nice!!!

[@whilehobbying]

Massive set!

[@437cosimo]

Great set.

[@seanmorgan2257]

you are at it again guys showing me pretty things I cant afford

[@dombenedict1371]

Nice history lesson. Not bad kits

[@aloysiusforrester9184]

did anybody else realize that OTT loved everything

[@lolzaloud]

Does anyone have a better view of the decals in the set?

[@lawnorprime]

Each of these boxes seem to contain more than the last

[@TheDarkyello]

Really solid deal

[@poland8257]

I want all the starter forces

[@jimwhite2541]

Looks nice.

[@Kira-Namida]

Must. Finish. Painting. What I. Have. Before. Starting. New. Game...

[@bomplompisk9665]

Wheelying better be a mechanic lol

[@RafaMieses]

more fireflies!!!!!

[@daigloomminiaturepainting303]

Ohhh it looks nice

[@ericmagnuson8719]

Tempting, but I have a LARGE number of Americans to work with. I also have a bunch of mid-War Brits and Italians to do.

[@kingtigger2104]

More Churchill’s

[@tigertank3024]

Look cool

[@Azmodai34]

Awsome!

[@johnshuart7414]

Love the Brits

[@andrewjf4174]

Being British I would have to have more 25 pounders!

[@user-ur6gt6mm1m]

TANKS TANKS TANKS

[@plantag]

Brits all the way nice army

[@SurgeMMO]

Hmmm...

[@SunDancerGE]

I ding the dong and never win.... XD

[@wichrun]

aaargh this game is tempting me more and more, can't resist it! It would be great to convert this starter into the Polish 1st Armoured Division

[@LA-yd6kk]

these starter sets seem good but come on, if you cant be bothered to show the assembled models together its a bit poor

[@CS-zn6pp]

I cant believe how they butchered this game from V3 to this Frankenstein abortion of a game. Don't bother buying this game, you missed the golden years. Battle front had a great game that was fun to play but they started to think like GW and needed to change everything to make us all buy new books. They killed our flames of war gaming community from about 30 active players down to 0 in the time it took us to read about the changes. They also didn't like what the players said about the changes on their forums so instead of listening to the free market research they killed the forums.

[@bageldrone]

To be honest i really don't know how useful these unboxings just showing the sprues are. you're basicly pointing at the the sprue and saying "this makes a sherman tank". is that useful? and worth nearly 15mins of video? surely an example of each put together and ideally painted is a more useful video. or if youre going to show the sprues aswell as a before and after. I know that unboxings are popular etc. just i used to watch more of these when you actually built the models and discussed how they went together. now you just seem to empty the box and read out the list of contents whilst having some banter. If this gets you more views etc then you do you. just curious as its kind of pushed me away from watching your content in search of more in depth looks at the models. cheers
