I've not yet played Flames of War yet
It looks awesome to play, and I wouldn't rule out my owning it sometime in the future. The vehicles look far superior to anything I've seen...even more than my beloved Axis & Allies OOB...but I can't get myself to get behind the infantry yet, which look so oddly cartoonish to me. Something strikes a twang in my Artist sensibilities in that, it baffles me currently how any manufacturer can spend so much time on finely intricate vehicle sculpture, ownly to pair it up with cartoonish-bodied infantry figures; unless, of course, that was the point for some strange reason. It just seems so glaring to me. Or maybe I just don't get it (wouldn't be the first time!).
I have minimal experiance with miniature figure painting, none of which deals with metal, so that holds me back at present also.
I understand that it is extremely addicting. I saw it at Origins last Summer, and I had meant to spend some quality time in a demo, but alas, I was booked to the brim, and couldn't quite scrape the time together to do so. This Summer, I plan to have a much less hectic schedule, and plan to spend more time checking out the demos in the Dealer Hall.
Sooooo, tell me about what you like about the system!
