Hello,

I was wondering especially about Late War whether
a) the cards are worth buying or they will likely change with the new books
b) whether they include the late war sdkfz 251 such as Sd.Kfz. 251/17 and Sd.Kfz. 251/21 Drilling.

thank you

The LW cards atm only cover units in Armies of LW .

Thank you Piron.

As a follow up, my investigations showed that not all the late war vehicles are included, there are no variation of experience and morale per model, the points are given according to the old system.

We will probably have to wait the cards per specific front and period.

FOW = Change. It is certainly coming.

Late war stuff is getting re released on 6th of June 2019 including a full change over to the new 100 point system.

the first book will be a new armies of the late war book with lots of generic options in it. This will be followed by theatre specific books with more bespoke options. I think they are planning on 2-4 theatre books a year

I think it might have the same lists , just using 100 pts system .
Paras are meant to be getting their own book sometime next year iirc .

In the UK since V4 came out its gone down hill. I don't think the number of new players has matched those that stopped playing .

I live between NYC and Philly and in this region of the NorthEast its flat disappeared from the planet. Some regional cons had 12-15 tables of FoW tournament games a couple of years ago now don't even bother running one. Sad. I used to enjoy playing v3 when there was someone to play with. Oh well …
