Starting Flames of War

Despite what you may have guessed with regard to my last post, I actually am putting the Warhammer Fantasy Army on the back burner. Most of the group of miscreants I hang out with are more interested in pursing Flames of War. As I have started reading the rules I've fallen under it's spell as well.

It doesn't hurt that for my birthday I got three Panzer IIIs, a Panzergrenadier platoon, and two StuG G's.

Links of Note:

• Flames of War bootcamp! (a good getting started link).
  
• Main Flames of War site - with community (you need to sign in to see it, but login is free)
• The local Flames of War retailer in Austin, is Great Hall Games
• Lone Star Historical Miniatures - Austin is a local FoW scene that plays at GHG with a Yahoo Group.
  

Anyway, the next step for me, is coming up with an initial list. They were very helpful at Great Hall with providing guiding me in my first steps. It is a bit tricky wrapping my head around how to build an army list for this game because of the very wide variety of options compared to something like 40k.



I'm thinking that based on what I HAVE so far, I'm going to try something like this (about 1500 pts).
