How to Play Flames of War - Airplanes! 

Why is this video not in the How to play Flames of war-playlist? It’s really a great help that should be shared!

I wish there was more variety in the types of aircraft available. Having just one per faction is fairly repetitive. I was looking through my old first edition rulebook (I never played 1e) and it seems that you could buy fighters that would fight enemy attack aircraft (via a simple die roll). It was years ago, but I also remember the old Warhammer Epic 40K game had rules for interceptors that could intercept attacking bombers. That was a great game.

Very helpful and well put together video! One thing I think you have got wrong, self defence AA means that he can fire even if not fired upon, but only at rof1..

Thanks for the nive how to play. I think the sturmoviks are really powerful with their 5 power rating on top armour. Where is stated that they don't have the penalty for being just 1-2 artillery battery? Thanks.

Only one plane attack? Sure? Thought I got 2 attacks one with each plane

Nice. Keep doing this kind of good content !

I have always learned faster and better by watching the games being fought on the tabletop and watching the die roles used in addition to the unit cards being shown. I never fail to get interrupted while reading an article! Thank You for all your hard work and videos.

Great video series, very much appreciated as I'm about to get into playing Flames of War. A very noob question, can an army list, let's say from one of the D-Day books play against an army from another book/setting i.e, Bagration...

A question we had that I don’t think was addressed was; some units are listed as “fighter/bomber” IIRC the P-47 for instance. If the allied unit has them in support, can they also contribute to defensive fire if the axis had stukas attacking?

Guys any thoughts on my Spitfire question of 5 days ago?

Where is the rule about planes being or two or less for bombardments ?

What is the dice hole for?

Excellent video John, as I'm finally getting the hang of the rules for version 4, but the aircraft rules are somewhat vague even by the rule book standards (IMO). This video makes sense. I'm running 2 Spitfires IX to support my Allied force. Unit cards not readily available (did not come with the models), so would be interested if you have a source where I could review that detail. FOW site does have some basic hit and AT scores (when they first released the model) but no is hit on and save data. Welcome your views sir.

So, in the case of dropping bombs, it's the same thing the models are hit with 1 plane or 2 planes, right? What matters is that the target will be under the template! If so, it's allway better to drop bombs than MG/ canon fire...

As a British player (late war) its possible for me to have 2 aircraft units in my list. An Auster OP and 2x Typhoons. My question is, when I roll for aircraft do I roll for each unit or just once for both?

Can AA that fired in its turn, then conduct AA fire against the planes in the opponents turn? I’m thinking about 88s that fired at armour in the German turn could they then shoot at the planes in the Russian turn?

Another super duper video! Thank you so much for such terrific content! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Awesome video… I would assume that the rockets 🚀 work like the direct fire cannon just with a lesser ROF but a bigger punch… also I was wondering if you could explain the difference in FOW aircraft and Team Yankee Aircraft… if the rules are the same ??? And in Team Yankee Helicopters are they a in and out like the Jets or are they just deployed and stay on the field till end of the game or destroyed???

Was the intro supposed to be audioless?

On my table if one chooses can split up air attacks rather than attack the same target. Home rule.

Just got bit by the Team Yankee bug again (thanks to you!) and wondering if a series like this for Team Yankee is something you could do? Maybe a much more streamlined series that highlights whats different from Flames of War?

thank you
