Building A Comet Armoured Squadron
With John Lee 

With the launch of the Bulge: British release, I thought I would look at how a new player, or someone on a budget, can get a British force on the table that would be semi-competitive or at least hold its own with the focus on the new shiny Comets, Challengers, Archers, Rams, and Sextons.  For the new player, it opens the door to playing Flames of War without needing to buy, assemble or paint too much and get into playing the game quicker.

So, if we look at what we get in the excellent value army deal (Comet Armoured Squadron), that will help decide what formations to run.  The starter set contains the following:

• Complete A5 Rulebook
• British “Start Here” booklet
• 4 x Comet (77mm) Tanks
• 2 x Cromwell (75mm) or Cromwell CS (95mm) Tanks
• 3 x Chaffee (75mm) Tanks
