Game systems

Flames of War

Flames of War is the application's historical game system. Instead of detachments, a list is built on formations.

The version

Flames of War comes with this edition:

  • Version 4

You download its catalogue on the first start or later under Options › Data sources.

Catalogues by period and nation

The application orders the faction catalogues by period of the war: Mid-War, Late-War, Late-War Leviathans and Pacific War. Each catalogue comes with its nation.

The main view with the open list “Battlegroup Sand” from the catalogue Mid-War - Afrika Korps: on the left the lists under the heading Mid-War, on the right below the points the count of formations and allied units, below it the formation Panzer III Tank Company and a support unit.
  1. The open list with its points, the count of formations and allied units, and its units.

Formations and validation

Flames of War has no detachment, no Warlord and no enhancement. The validation looks at formations instead: the list needs one, and allied formations and units are limited. What exactly applies is said by the notice when you create the list.

Text styles

As text, a list comes in these styles; the first is the default:

  • Detailed
  • Simple

What each style writes is in the chapter Text export.

As of version 1.4.0
