Flames of War

Flames of War is the defining 15mm World War II miniature wargame. Flames of War is a company-level simulation of WWII combat published by Battlefront Miniatures that has sustained a global player base for over two decades. Its detailed army lists covering every major theater and nationality, combined with a consistent rules framework that rewards historical research as much as tactical skill, made it the standard-bearer for serious WWII miniature gaming at its scale.

Noble Knight carries Flames of War across its full product history, including current Battlefront releases alongside older editions, theater books, intelligence handbooks, and the earlier metal figure ranges that preceded the current resin and plastic production. Edition changes mean that older Flames of War materials cycle into our used inventory regularly, making Noble Knight a reliable source for players who prefer earlier rules editions or are hunting specific older army lists and sourcebooks.
