they can't include glue in the boxed games because the glue has a habit of leaking.

The crashed tiger I've understood for several years to be a reference to an encounter between a US towed AT gun that was unable to be moved because it fired so many rounds it buried itself in the mud deep enough the half track was struggling to get it out. Tiger came around the corner and was so close the gun couldn't depress enough to see the gun crew. The AT crew panicked, fired a shot at point blank causing the driver to panic, soil himself, and back up into a building which collapsed and knocked the tank out.

Nice video. 👍 To me the british hard plastic inf is the best hard plastic infantry BF has done so far. (If you build the motor pln you get so much left over figures because the same sprues makes the inf pln).

The Challenger is now an option instead of a Firefly, in the Cromwell platoon, in the new compilation book. Something to note about the infantry sprue, it does the Rifle platoon, as well as the Motor platoon and the Rifle platoon is bigger, so you could possibly make up enough extra infantry bases to make a Rifle platoon, so you'd have options... The Sextons are really a replacement for towed 25pdrs and are a couple of pts cheaper than the towed guns. The Cromwell CS (Mk V or VIII) had a 95mm howitzer. Challengers didn't arrive in the early part of the Normandy campaign but were there from July 44, so it is historically correct as an option

Also, the Welsh Guards would have had the same squadron tacsign shapes as the other armoured regiments, but the would've been white. Their regimental Tacsign would've been a white 45 over a green over blue square. For what it's worth, my name is Charles Tricker and I did some research for the original market garden book Hell's Highway alongside Battlefront. You can find me credited there and in the V3 Market Garden book, as well as on the BF website in an article about the grenadier Guards battalions.

An awesome unboxing guys,that's alot of sprues

The Ram tank was a Canadian tank based off of the M3 Lee chassis. It was its own tank.

I think they updated the Unit Cards for the Desert Rats to be able to field Challengers in Normandy, since they started arriving in July '44 and that's why the Card is in there.

Another great and informative unboxing 👍🏼 If I remember correctly Fog of War made a British markings video a while ago.

Love it guys

Where has Johnny B gone

Where has Johnny B gone

I love tank

holy, age of sigmar is crazy good. Theres so much stuff in the box

Fantastic interview! Can’t wait to get my copy

Really looking forward to this- thanks guys!

There is also a general purpose wagon included that you missed off the review, probably buried in the box.

Love it. It's a great value box, well worth the money. The customization makes it all the better, as generally with other starter sets that only let you build things in a rigid one way only manner, so everyone's armies and photos on the socials all look very similar, this is not the case with DMH. Still wading the through the painting, but really enjoying it, even before playing a game...🙌🏻

Would love to see a battle report sometime!

Great review

You can get full size card deck

Nice box set. Enjoyed this guy's.

A good deal for current fans. £90 is a bit high for taking a punt on a game.

Bought some of the DMH figures for my US Cavalry wars - Apache (Renegades) and Plains Indians were a good match to Foundry etc, but the US Cavalry pack was on a pretty small scale…highly disappointing!!

An excellent review guys

Great review, this is game starter set I keep thinking about getting but im not sure I will have enough time to play.

Really enjoyed this 😊

Thank you very much gentlemen.

“He’s fallen down the well!” 😂

Anyone who is familiar with BattleTech will find some similarity here. For many years, BattleTech was the closest thing to a real tank skirmish game. This is so well done.

Great video and I learned alot about the kit and the history! Which it does seem like a great army starter set!

30:14 It could just be a fun marker of an stragicly important point like the generic makers are.

Great unboxing as always Sir, will you be doing the other 3 army deals? I shall wait eagerly if you are! 👍🏻

The activation, reaction and fallback mechanisms in Iron Cross are a really great way to game - I try and shoehorn these into pretty much any other rule set I can (Battlegroup being one). Also, removes the need for 'overwatch'. Further, you can 'game' with d4, d6, d8 etc. activation dice with regard to troop quality. As you can tell, I';m a fan [although addition of 7 days rules, spotting etc. also helps]. Cheers

Will you be doing this for the other sets?

Great unboxing, I expected some special cards like Clausewitz, in another timeline I had definitely gotten a set.

The Panzer Lehr took part in the occupation of Hungary, prior to Normandy, I believe to prevent Hungary surrendering. It was, as far as I know, the only Panzer Division to have all it's Panzer Grenadier battalions mounted in half tracks, the others as you say, relied mostly on trucks. I was quite pleased when I found out that there's 9 halftracks in the box and not the 8, that the box says there is. I think they forgot the HQ halftrack. The Nebelwerfer sprue is the same as the PaK36 37mm gun, in which you can do the normal 37mm barrel or the one with Steilgranate. The other gun barrels are acutally Soviet 45mm guns! I know as I've got some of those too. I've also noticed you get a lot more infantry models then you need. You can make a full 7 team Grenadier platoon with one of the main Grenadier sprues, plus 3 Panzerschrek/HQ sprues and you'll even have enough left over to make your formation HQ, not to mention the 10 PL metal figures. They used to do a Flakpanzer 38T in the previous editions of FoW, it's a shame they didn't bring them back for this D-day revival. The AA halftracks are handy for shooting at light vehicles and they give you another platoon, in your formation, making it a little harder to break, you could use them to help defend objectives. I think it's not a bad box for anyone, wanting to start a late war Panzer Grenadier army. Buy some of the halftrack armoured mortars and stummels and you've got a great army. I woud prefer Wespes to Nebelwerfers, as I think SP artillery is more in keeping with the army theme. Going back to the previous version of FoW, there was a proper Panzer Lehr army list in the D-Day book and they hade a 'radio controlled' company, which you could use early King Tigers or Stugs, with the Bogrward demolition vehicles. That would have been interesting to bring back now.

cool

Nice video. If I remember correctly the spoked wheels on the Nebelwerfer sprue is fpr the soviet 47mm AT gun. This can also build from it using the longest gun. The resin Sd.Kfz. 10/4 looks great because it is a (relativly) new sculpt I guess, released when V4 started. I have some 10/4s back from the V3 days. It had no driver moulded in, the side panels were seperate metal pieces and the gun was a multi piece metal. This one looks so much better, especialy the plastic gun.

Glad seeing more infantry being added box sets

I was looking at this box at my FLGS. Thanks for the video.

Where do you get the map and houses from

Just the video I was looking for! I ordered this and then after looking on the app, it didn''t show the weapon profiles for the Flamer (Wraithlord), but now you have subdued my anxiety 😂

Can this be played on a 4x6 table?

Too bad this is sold out everywhere.

I can vouch it's a very fun game.

The rebels didn't utilize their cannon very well lol

The items you describe as components for a travel-lock to cradle the gun are actually "winches". They can be mounted at various points on the hull for "track tensioning" as well as adding and removing the outer sets of tracks.

I build and painted the T-44/T-54-1. They look great. You've get four side panels for the IS-3. So you can build them with and without side skirts which are part of side panels ... well ... or they are NOt part of the side panels.

I agree the ISU-52 isn't really worth taking and neither is the ISU-122, as the game currently sits. The big issue is that with AT 13/14, you want to be moving to flank enemy tanks (apart from things like Comets and Shermans etc) but with the moving ROF of 1 and the slow firing rule, they are poor for moving and shooting. The ISU-130 is the only ISU worth taking, as far as I'm concerned, long range and concealment might help it survive and AT-18 gives it a chance of penetrating just about everything frontally, apart from the Maus and Tortoise. It's the highest AT in the Soviet force so far. I would suggest the best way to do a Soviet force with what's available, would be to buy 2 boxes of the starter set, to get a decent amount of IS-3's and T-54's. With the T-29/30, I had a couple of T-29's from World of Tanks, so I built the 3 in this box as T-30's
