other valid targets within range, allowing a Rifle Fire team with a Grenade Launcher to fire their Rifles at the Infantry and the Support

or the same target as the situation dictates.

In creating this book I have many, many people to thank, most obviously The Battlefront
Flames of War team for designing a wonderful game and ruleset, that gave us a chance to build
this supplement on. On top of this the wonderful community support they have given in
allowing this community content to exist , when they could very easily have said otherwise.
I must thank Daniel McCoy for his artistic talents and the wonderful artwork he has sourced,
produced and laboured over, it takes what has been done thus far and raises the bar. I am
conscious of the many flaws and problems in this book and I will endeavour to correct and
improve things. But once again, you the community are key to this and can help me improve
the ORBATS and TO&E’s as well as the points scores. Don’t be shy, got a suggestion get in
touch via the blog.
So all that’s left is to wish you all luck in your games, and don’t forget to send me pictures of
your forces, we all love seeing painted miniatures!
