As part of my ongoing Flame of War revival I ordered the new
Allied book for the D-Day theatre and it finally arrived. Woohoo.

The RRP of the new D-Day book is £30 however I ordered it
through an Amazon reseller for the princely sum of £19.14 including postage. Upon
receipt I was very pleased to see that the book is both hardbacked and oversown.
There have been criticisms in the past that FoW books fall to bits because it
has been stitched through the fold (Smyth sewing I think its called) however it
looks like this has been addressed.  |

Now I haven’t actually read through it yet other than to peruse
the US Airborne lists and luckily it incorporates everything I expected so I’m
happy. Comparing it to Games Workshop’s Codex Dark Angels which also retails
for £30 you quickly see that Battlefront believe in more is better. Codex DA
contains 104 pages whereas Overlord contains 301 pages of which the final page
is printed on the inside of the back cover. I know that GW tailor each of their
supplements to a specific race/faction however maybe they should revise this
tactic considering the competition in the market

All in all a very well spent £19.14 and I’m going to order
Atlantik Wall as soon as I’ve some cash in the bank.
Cool, always good to grab a bargain.
ReplyDeleteSo will you be picking a list with the 'pizza box lids of doom'?
Indeed.
DeleteBy that do you mean the naval barrage?
Not sure my opponents at the club would appreciate it, also I'll have to get myself a regular infantry company for the beach assaults.
Cheers mate!
