Then grab a heap of yanks or poms from Battlefront and you've got a good zombie show down on the western front. Oh, and check out Dream Pod 9 They do a Gear Krieg line of miniatures and some card minis which look kinda cool. DP9 are the guys responisble for Heavy Gear. Well, they could be used for Mechs in WW2 I guess ++edit++ Oh, WW stands for wild west... Not weird war... Ah well, zombies. You need zombies Edited by freebooter, Apr 13 2009, 11:36 PM.

Wasteland Legend Posts: 3,648 Group: Admins Member #2 Joined: Jul 24, 2008	Nope, never given it a go. Up until late last year I'd never even heard of it before, though since I've looked longingly at all those prepainted tanks in the toy shops. Plus, for that sort of thing I'd want to be as accurate as possible but that means picking up plenty of publications (although not a bad thing) on the subject, thus pushing the "introductory price" up further.

If you check the Flames of War website, it's a very simple URL... [url=www.flamesofwar.com]Flames of War[/URL] They've got lots of historical information there on the various theatres and force compositions. There's data everywhere... Just go looking Edited by freebooter, Apr 18 2009, 10:51 PM.
