| Post subject: | Starting Flames of War |
Hi I am new to the wargaming world. I have decided to start playing Flames of War. I know I am playing as the Germans for starters and I am playing in late war. I sort of know how to make terrain although I haven't actually made any yet. I am getting the rulebook, das book, 2 source books and open fire for starters before I start getting mini's. Any suggestiong on what else I should get or anything else. |

Get markers (hand made or official), template (same : hand made, official or Litko's), and 'smoke' (I use white/grey felt (?) pieces of tissue). Then you'll be ready. |

Ok I'll get some. I didn't know you needed some of those things. |

As a German player, you'll probably field some Nebelwerfers which use template and are able to fire smoke bombardment, so you'll find those things useful. And markers are just invaluable for a good game confort. But first, get your first small force (600pts is a good start, then 1000pts and finally 1500 for Midwar or 1750 for Latewar). |

Yes I will get some markers, templates and some fire smoke stuff. I am just starting to look into making my first little army. Any other things I should probably think about getting? I know only the basics at the moment. |

Rulebook, briefings, gaming accessories, that's all. You just need minis now (and stuff to make great infantry bases, and nice camo on German tanks). |
