What are the bare essentials to start a decent sized game of Flames of War?

They do have starter packs. I have purchased myself the complete hardback rulebook, so am able  to supply you with my previouse older softcover rulebook (which has all the basic rules required to play). Honestly it dosent cost that much for these minatures. I am happy to provide copies of army lists from my own rulebooks if required.

Please note that Darryl, Lee and myself all have armies and are creating terrain.

The Flames of War site is god awful for finding information about stuff! I can't find any information about any of the intelligence books!

I'm mostly interested in mid-war. I'm leaning towards Russia or British.

Really going to have to read the Afrika and/or Eastern Front books before I decide.

What's the late war theatre you guys are going to be playing (apprently) ?

I want to play Eastern Front.

I am leaning towards playing the British. My loyalties lie to the Commonwealth.

If you guys are looking to start playing late war I might harp in with some Brits.

Well now I believe the Eastern Front consists of German Vs Russian.

Otherwise for midwar (Africa / Tunisia / Italy)

Myself - British 8th Army
Darryl - Dirty Dirty Nazi Afrika Corps
Lee -  Dirty Dirty Nazi Afrika Corps

Late War - (D Day onwards)

Myself - US paratroopers.
Darryl - ? (though pretty easy to update Dirty Dirty Nazi list).
Lee - British (I believe Red Berets).

Fortress Europe rulebook supplies the army lists for Late War. Otherwise there are smaller rulebooks for specifics, such as my US paratroopers are listed in 'D Day - 1' (ie the night before, this book also has British paratroopers/ glider assault lists). I have teh D Day book, which has no army lists, just supplies rules for Normanby, such as Sea Based invasions etc. It also provides some background history, and terrain construction.
