Game Information
Battalion Battle
Quite simply, a battalion battle
involves multiple armies on the same, large
battlefield. The size of the battlefield will vary with
the number of players, and it will takes anywhere from 3
to 6 hours to play.
Multiple Front Battle
The Multiple Front Battle is a
Battalion battle fought on multiple battlefields that
represent a battle across a large area. A large central battlefield holds the main objective of
the attack. Success or failure on the flanking
battlefields allows the defender or attacker to bring in
reserves at different points along the central
battlefield. This battle is played with 6 or more
players with 8 or more 1500 (or 2000) point companies.

About Army Sizes
600 Points
A great starting point for new
armies and new players. A company HQ and a single combat
platoon are all that's needed to play with enough points
for improvisation with a weapon or divisional support
platoon. Players may not include air support in this
army.
Games are played quickly (less
than 1 hour) on a 4' by 3' table. For an added dimension
players can participate in scenarios involving multiple
players and armies, or special victory conditions and
situations.
1500 Points
The 1500-point army is the most
common sized force in Flames of War. Games
include all the elements of combined arms - infantry,
tanks, artillery and aircraft. Plenty of new challenges
await players at this size army. Official tournaments
are fought using 1500-point armies.
Battles are fought on a 6' by 4'
table, and will take between 2 to 3 hours depending on
the mission.
