As a Flames of War player, what is your level of interest in FoW scenarios based on real events? |

That's almost all we play, Fire and Fury have a good selection of scenarios |

I must admit that we sell lots of our company level scenarios for IABSM to FoW players. They are designed for exactly the same level games and FoW players tell me they convert across with almost no work at all. |

Pretty high. I like the generic battle types included in the rule books, but lately I have been adapting other historical scenarios to play. It seems I lose anyway ;), but I like the feel of a historic game, where the objectives mean something, other than their mere placement on the table by the opponents. |

"Flames of War" "Historical Scenarios" ??? A contradiction of terms, surely? |

I'm not a FOW player but scenarios based on historical events are really all that interest me, in the main. How do you deal with FOWs logarithmic ground scale though? |

Pretty high. If anyone knows of some good usable scenarios for Tunisia I would be very interested. Specifically Kasserine Pass and Kerns Crossroads. |

I'm always interested in scenario books, regardless of the target rule system, as long as they are geared for the level of play that I am interested in. I can always convert them to "my" chosen rules. Anything for FOW would interest me, I like that scale (and that game in fact). |

I think it'd be useful to see more historical scenarios for FOW, certainly. I do think the bizarre scale choices might make some items difficult, but then again, a scenario designer has the choice to leave artillery off table, widen or shorten ranges, etc. -A. |

FOWs logarithmic ground scale Is THAT what you call it? |

I play with Battlefront WW2 but really enjoy writing scenarios – take a look on the scenarios page on the BF:WW2 site – have spent three years (with Paddy Green) writing scenarios based on 12SS in Normandy (Blood & Honour series). We have about 10 on the site (another 2-3 in the pipeline) – great fun to focus on 1 unit in one theatre. They may well translate to FoW …. |
