Flames of War

Compared to some other games (Warhammer), Flames of War is very affordable to get into. You can pick up a starter army for approximately $115 (CDN$). Aside from the starter force, you don't need to add much more to round out your force. Most extra kits are optional in army lists and can be brought depending on how you wish to play your force.

For new players looking to get into the game, the best way is none other than the Hit the Beach box set. This set comes in at an affordable $60 (CDN) and includes a rulebook and two forces, German and Americans. Grab a friend and split it for $30 each, there is no cheaper and better way to test the game out.

Both games are great! Flames of War is 15mm models while Bolt Action is 28mm, so both have very different model scales and rule sets. The games are equally good so it is really a matter of preference.
