The PDF function and Email function (which also creates a PDF) takes a little longer to generate now as it's an exact replica of the Print page generated by a third-party application. Please be patient while it loads.

Note: In order to build lists, you must first log in. Click on the "Login" menu option on the right side of the menu. Once logged in, start a new list by selecting the New Companies menu option.

Lists new information about the site, as well as Quick Links for quickly selecting a specific country from a specific time period.


This screen allows you to start a new company. The Filters at the top allow you to select which book/pdf, Country, Company Type, Period, Motivation, and/or Skill to filter by. Changing any of the drop-down lists will refresh the page narrowing the list down to the filters you choose. You can select values from one or all of the Filters. In addition, clicking on a column heading will sort the table by that column, though selecting another filter will then override the sort.

Clicking the check-box to the left of the filters will change the white "LOCK" text to a red "LOCKED", and save your Filter selections for future visits to this page, as well as the Saved Companies page. Unchecking the check-box will clear all Filters and refresh the page (displaying all companies). Selecting any of the Quick Links on the home page will over-ride (and lock) the Filters with the Period and Country chosen from the Quick Links.

Clicking on a company name will take you to its company diagram.

The 'lock icon' in the black column indicates when a company is locked and will need to be purchased to use. You may still click on the list and see its company diagram. Lists with no lock have either been previously unlocked, or are free to use. Lists with a green check-mark in place of the lock are companies that are unlocked (or free) and you have started creating at least one list using that company. Switching to the Saved Companies page will show the list and the current points.

Selecting a list that is locked will open the company diagram page, and a "Buy Now" button will be displayed in the upper left corner:

Clicking on either the red Buy Now button at the top, or on any of the platoon names will display the purchase screen:

You have two options when purchasing Intelligence Briefings (company diagram). Buying a single briefing or buying all briefings in the book. There is a 25% discount for choosing to unlock an entire book. When a single briefing has the ability to create multiple companies, all companies attached to that briefing will unlock for the cost of one. For example, in the image above, unlocking the "FALLSCHIRMJÄGERKOMPANIE (1.)" company will also unlock the "FALLSCHIRMJÄGERKOMPANIE (4.)" company as they both use the same briefing. The price to unlock an entire book is based on the briefing in the book, not the individual companies themselves (as more than one company can sometimes be created from a single briefing).

To purchase a single Intelligence Briefing, click the Buy Now button on the left. To purchase all the Intelligence Briefings in a book, click the Buy Now button on the right. Either option will take you to PayPal to complete the transaction. Once you return from PayPal, the briefing(s) you chose should be unlocked. If they do not unlock immediated, please wait a few minutes as the automated payment confirmation response from PayPal may have been delayed.



The Saved Companies page works in a similar way to the New Companies page, except that it display only company lists that you have already created.

The PTS column displays the current Points of the company.

The last column contains a red "X". Clicking the "X" will delete the company list in that row.

You may have multiple copies of the same company list. Giving each one a unique "Custom Name" will help identify which is which. The "Custom Name" is set from the Company Diagram page, and will be display here in the "Description" column



The Scenarios page displays a Google map that you can pan and zoom, containing pins on the map that link to Flames Of War scenarios. Clicking on on a point will display the Scenario name, a link to the PDF or article, time period of the battle, and the designer. Please note that some of these links take you off the FlamesOfWar.com website, mostly to the WWPD network. Please read the URL before clicking.
