And with a minimum sized formation of Cromwell HQ, Cromwell Troop and Challenger Troop coming in at 46 points, the Comet is the better option here. They an awesome addition but would we take them over Comets? Probably not. The Challenger is, essentially, an up-gunned Cromwell with worse cross check, no HE and no smoke… for the same point cost as a Comet. Heavy as it comes, the Hussars Armoured Squadron brings the second big addition to the book, the Challenger. This formation with minimum sized options, including Stuarts as the second black box option comes in at 41 points. Coming in troops of 3 or 4, with points of 21 or 28 for each, they’re not insanely costly. 36” range with AT 14, 3+ firepower and smoke is very nice which absolutely will give big cats pause. The Comet, in case you’ve never had the pleasure, is the final iteration of the cruiser tank, blending light-tank speed, medium tank armour and a heavy tank gun, all in one chassis:įront armour 7 isn’t going to stop the heavy cats, but will challenge the Panzer IV, the tactical speed of 12” is great and the gun… well, the gun. Let’s take a quick look at the first, new and exciting addition to the book, the Comet. Let’s start heavy, the armour formations are: Of those, six are based around tanks and four are infantry focused. It’s great that we’ve got some new toys on the way, but as with all things Flames of War, how good the book will perform is in no small part down to the formations which are in the book.īulge British comes with ten formations for you to use. All the greatest hits are here.Ĭomet, Challenger, Rams, Land Mattress, Archer, Staghound, plus a new varieties of Paratroopers, Artillery and must more besides.īattlefront keep up the jump to new plastic kits which let you make different types/ loud outs within the same box.Īnd, as ever, a brand-new book also brings a brand-new starter box… but more on that another day! By comparison, the Germans have three books, so the Brits are long overdue some love.īut that’s enough looking back, let’s take a look at what’s actually IN the book… and whether it’s any good!Īs you’d expect, you’ll find the same cocktail of armour and infantry which came in the D-Day British book including the Cromwell, Churchill, Sherman, Tank Destroyers, Artillery, lots of flavours of Infantry, and aircraft. It’s been a long, hard winter for the British as this is the first expansion which the British have had since their D-Day book release which landed in early 2020. With the release of the Bulge British book and miniatures for Flames of War, Battlefront games rounds out their series of late-war expansions for the Battle of the Bulge.
