Tgis starter kit looks pretty sweet. http://www.flamesofwar.com/hobby.aspx?art_id=3438
If you are lookking to start FoW its an outstanding value. The minis are all plastic which is new for BF.
I am glad to see that this new version of Open Fire includes infantry and guns. The previous version had two sherms vs two stugs...apparently because no-one likes playing WWII infantry.
Somewhere at Grognews I make a whiney complaint about infantry not getting the love they deserve over tanks....but the FoW series has made a serious effort to shift their focus on armor-heavy battles and include more combined ops or infantry-themed games (I think the Cassino rules even include an "Infantry Aces" section).

I went to a LGS today specifically because it advertised selling FoW minis and rulesets. I get there and they no longer carry the product. So I'll have to look for another store.
Scott at GA (http://www.gamersarmory.com) will ship them to you, but you need to call the store to pick what you want b/c there's more stuff they carry than they have time to keep updated on the site

I'll +1 Brant. I've ordered from Gamer's Armory and they were great.
This is an interesting move - I think they needed a solid starter set so that folks could pony up some short money and get into the game easily.
