Im building a flames of War German unit at the moment as one of my many wargames projects.

Others are

15mm Ancient Greek army

15mm British AWI

28mm El Cid Moorish army

28mm ancient Germanic army ( which can cover from the fall of the Roman empire to the early Saxon period.)

28mm Wild West Mexicans

The 28mm stuff is based for the warhammer ancient battle rules.

what we have been playing recently at the local wargames club is wings of war which is a WW1 aviation game the planes come ready painted and its easy to pick up and learn and great fun.
And that boys is how you take a penalty.

I'm currently building an army based on 4.SS-Panzergenadier Regiment "Der Führer" in Normandy. I got into FoW a few years ago but was only really interested in late war, so got back into it with the release of the V2 rulebook. The new miniatures are some of the best they've ever released, the Tigers Marsch box is just bloody gorgeous!

I'm working on a 1750pt Geparte Panzergrenadier army at the moment, I'll post some pics once I've started painting :)

Hello There ,
absolutely where does it end ...however you can still use 20mm for flames of war . I chose F.O.W for its simplicity and ease of play , i found rapid fire (in my opinion) to get totally bogged down by rules , also on the plus side the F.O.W figures are really nice .
With your Glider troops do you have any Gliders ? as i scratch built mine , i found the hardest bit was the cockpit and nose.
