For the last few months we have really been trying to get the WWII game Flames of War (from Battlefront) going in the shop. One of the shop’s staff (John M.) has taken up the cause and is trying to recruit players as aggressively as possible. Unfortunately, it has not exactly met with a lot of success.

It is unfortunate, as the shop carries a huge selection of the product (blisters & box sets) as well as all of the books, tokens, etc., so anyone wanting to get started – or round out an army – should be able to find what they are looking for on the shelf. In addition, all of the peripheral stuff is available too – terrain (prepainted & kits), historical reference books, etc.

Personally I love any historical miniatures games, so it would certainly warm my heart to walk into the shop and see a game room filled with WWII miniatures games going on. We have had pretty good luck recruiting for the Combat Cards campaigns, so I think there are historical players out there to be had – WWII ones in particular.

John is going to be making a big push to recruit and teach new players over the coming couple of weeks, so if Flames looks like it may interest you I would highly recommend checking out the Forums for when John has schedule his next demo. The shop always prides itself on responding the trends of the shop’s players, but that cuts both ways. If no one is interested, or playing a game, resources have to be allocated elsewhere - not a threat, just an unfortunate reality.

So if you are interested, get out and have your voice heard! J

Until next time…

Watch out for them Tigers!
