Games and Theory Ep4 Companion and guest article!

Written by Jordan A. Vandergragt, Games and Theory special guest. This time on The Games and Theory podcast we talk about some strategies to up your game and crush your enemies in Flames of War. Much of the podcast discussion revolves around having a "theory of victory". The basic idea is that as long as you build a list that has combined arms, (infantry, mobile firepower and at least one bombardment) you can win any match with the right plan of attack. This means a bunch of different things that we ramble about in the episode, but in this article I'll attempt to explain my personal theory of victory for my tournament list, as well as discuss a bit about modeling and preparing the army.
