MW BIG Points v1.3 August 2022
MW BIG Points v1.3 August 2022
3 Page 1
Flames of war mid war has been out for a while now, and there is a feeling that some of the points are not
quite right for competition play. This stemmed from discussions among a dozen or so FoW players from
many different countries. MW competitions have been dominated by non-historical forces (e.g. L6 and ar-
moured cars), whilst a number of the more iconic units are almost never seen on the table: Shermans, T-
34’s, Strelkovy companies, the list goes on.
The BIG points amendments is an ongoing project for the Bunshop Wargaming team, with help from those
FoW players from different countries. It started in 2020, with limited changes for a restricted format in
2020, and was expanded to allow all the official books and command cards in 2021. This 2022 version
has a few changes from 2021 and adds the Romanians.
Mid war monsters and wildcards have been looked at and it was decided none of them required a points
increase. They were not considered due for a points reduction as historically they did not actually see ser-
vice.
One of the main aims of these changes is to bring the medium tank back into the fold, removing the domi-
nance of swarms of small vehicles (without killing it as an option, we don’t want to make your existing ar-
mies unplayable). We are not expecting to have got everything right, and there will be some things miss-
ing (some on purpose, some by mistake), but we hope it will offer a good variation, we hope you have
good fun with them.
