There are 14 figs available at $1.00US each and 1 fig available at $1.25US each. Please note we have not placed any limits on how many figs you can buy at this price.

Battlegames Issue 11 On the Way

The following article was imported from our old content management system on 08/10/2008. It may contain missing links and missing images which we do not plan to go back and correct.We apologize for any inconvenience.

Battlegames Magazine issue 11 is on the way.  According to their web site, "what does this packed issue have in store?
• Bob Barnetson and Bruce McFarlane from Canada carry out another of their comparative reviews, this time of rules for gaming the American War of Independence. Patriots and Loyalists, Warfare in the Age of Reason, Shako, and British Grenadier, together with one boardgame conversion, Clash for a Continent, come under scrutiny.
• Dillon Browne — he of Bloody Picnic fame — delivers part 1 of a two-parter on how to write wargames rules.
• Paul Bright writes about the experience of staging an ancient Romans demo game using 10mm Magister Militum armies.
• Stuart Asquith's battle for wargamers this time is a fictitious scenario based on incidents from the French and Indian Wars, the defence of Fort Cumberland 1758.
• Mike Siggins' Forward Observer column ponders the emergence of 28mm plastics, the problems of getting decent lighting for painting, the challenges of painting samurai, online colour matching services and his Top 20 products from 2007, as well as other tidbits.
• Arthur Harman, who always comes up with innovative ideas, gives us some great systems for simulating the risk to our tabletop commanders.
• Our Fantasy & Sci-Fi Editor Roger Smith is also in rule-writing mode, and ponders some of the challenges facing rules designers in arriving at balanced troop capabilities.
• In my own penultimate episode of The wars of the Faltenian Succession, I deal with pontoon bridges (an eagle-eyed reader spotted their omission from an earlier issue) and give some simple, automated rules for carrying out conventional sieges in your campaigns, before taking a more in-depth look at siegecraft.
• C S Grant's Table Top Teaser this time is "Insurgency", pitching irregular forces against red-coated rank-and-file. A real humdinger, this could be adapted to any number of historically-paired opponents.
• The Recce section is packed as usual, with some excellent rules reviews in particular, including the new Field of Glory ancients rules, There Are Your Guns GdeB variant for the mid 19th century, and em4's Ludus Gladiatorus 2 fun gladiator game in a box.
• We have a new regular short column, War and Preece, from veteran British gamer and witty grumpy old man John Preece, whose skilful prose is directed at reminding us that not all new ideas are really new, nor old ideas really old. In his opening issue, he gives a deft sketch of Neil Cogswell.
• Finally, I regret that as of issue 12, I am having to raise the cover price of the magazine to £3.95, and the cost of an annual subscription £23.70 POST FREE for the UK, £27.50 incl. p&p. to other EU countries and £36.00 for the Rest of the World. EU and Rest of the World postage is still heavily subsidised. You can beat the price rise by re-subscribing before the price rise takes effect, and page 42 of this issue also contains details of a special 12-issue subscription deal with a fabulous bonus into the bargain. You'll have to buy the magazine to find out what it is!"

From the Mongoose Publishing web site comes the following news:

After a very successful number of years producing miniatures for our Origins award-winning game Babylon 5: A Call to Arms, Mongoose Publishing is announcing today that we will cease production of this range of models with effect from March 31st 2008.

The increasing costs associated with this range combined with its sheer breadth means that production of miniatures is no longer commercially viable at this time. As a result we have reduced our prices on the miniatures by 20%, which will continue until March 31st 2008, when they will be removed from our catalogue. So, if you have been thinking about that new Shadow fleet or want to bolster the defences of the ISA, now is the time!

We will still continue to support A Call to Arms through Signs & Portents and book releases.

Compass Releases The Price of Freedom

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)
Compass Games has just released The Price of Freedom, a new card-driven game of the War Between the States, by Renaud Velaque.  For a limited time, you can still order the game at its $45 pre-order price.  The following description is taken from the Compass Games site:

The Price of Freedom: The American Civil War, 1861-1865 is Renaud Verlaque's second design (after the award-winning Age of Napoleon) and his first design published by Compass Games.

The Price of Freedom is a grand-strategic game allowing two players to recreate one of the seminal conflicts in American history and a precursor to the total wars that marked the 20th century.

Using an original card-driven system, The Price of Freedom provides strong historical flavor in a simple game that consistently can be played in under three hours. This makes The Price of Freedom an ideal game for today's gamer's busy lifestyle, for tournaments, and for introducing new players to the hobby.

From the Ad Astra Games site comes the following news:

To complement the angle adapters and our new miniatures for Attack Vector: Tactical, we’re proud to offer stacking disks and round flight bases for pre-order. The stacking disks sit under the round bases, sort of like little (and flat!) cups. This keeps the flight stand (and the miniature) from sliding off of a stack of the square altitude tiles that come with AV:T and SITS.
