Allied Army List

In the last Flames of War post we looked at the German Army list I will be making, so this time we will focus on their adversaries, the British! The basis for the list are the miniatures contained within the Open Fire! starter set. For the British these are:

 - 6 Sherman V tanks
 - 2 Sherman Firefly tanks
 - US Parachute Infantry platoon

Market Garden

At first sight this may look a little odd. Why are US paratroopers being sold alongside British tankers? However, if you think about Operation Market Garden, it all becomes clear. Market Garden was General Montgomery's plan to move the British sector of the Allied front 64 miles from the Dutch border all the way to Arnhem, securing the most important prize: A bridge over the Rhine.
