So print out the PDF, throw some models on the table, and get right into the action!
“Hail of Fire” is a game of combined-arms combat, with rules for infantry, tanks, artillery, and air support. Players will have to learn to use each of these in collaboration to take their objectives and get their men home by Christmas! 😉 “Hail Of Fire” was designed to be played with 15mm models, based in teams of 3-5 on a stand, making it perfect for those who would like to use their armies from other popular war games, such as Flames Of War! Models of other scales and basing styles may be used with little to no modification.
