HI All

Well what a few months it has been here.

I took a dig about – I have 3 or 4 Mare Nostrum Ziplocks left.  If you order one you will get a something thrown in (and not a bigger bill)!

Balkan Fury I think is about sold out.  Not much left so grab that now!

Hakkaa Paalle – low stock but not too bad.  I will do a deal for anyone ordering one from this email – so reply to me on John-Bannerman@live.co.uk for a special offer. I may have 2 Scratch and Dent ones as well – 20% of on them!

Singapore and Day of Infamy are fine. HOWEVER I do have a few (not many) scratched or dented boxes so… one time only deal – get 20% off the Singapore or DOI of your choice as long as you do not mind a marked or dented box (contents are perfect) – again reply to me on john-bannerman@live.co.uk if you want one.

Madagascar and Operation Merkur are all good.

Operation Battlaxe is low stock but not too bad.

So – if you want a wee spring bargain LET ME KNOW.

Cheers

Hi All

For those of you impatiently waiting I have made a lot of progress.  So, base research on the Germans is now done.  I have commenced OB built (transcribing from spreadsheet to word processor) and that will take a wee while.  Army and Corps HQs for example (with even basic data on re-assignments) plus special OB rules take 20 pages… 11 point type, 2 columns… So it will like MN end up on 3 columns…
Fun it is not, but it IS exciting…
Cheers

Hi All

I am getting quite sick of doing these – so the sooner I get this monster out the better!
Well, I completed the GERMAN ARMY research last night.  I probably need a few ratings but that is “small beer”.  Next up (and just started ) are SS non divisional combat units.  Not many of them but they are uniformly obscure in the references.  Something to do I think with their less than heroic or savoury behaviour.  I will update on that as soon as possible.
Regards

Hi All

I am within touching distance of completing LW AA.  That WILL be done by the end of this week.  Then I will quickly review the AT and Stug/independent Panzer forces.  As soon as that it complete OB creation for the Axis will commence which will signal the commencement of final pre-press work on Barbarossa. Counter art starts immediately this is completed.
As soon as that is done, we will work on the Soviet OB and then counter art.  Once that is done the game will go to the printers. Pre-Sale will close the day that the game is submitted for press.  At this time Barbarossa Colone’s Edition will be £400 plus VAT if in the EU (so £480 in the EU).

After Barbarossa is shipped we will commence final work on Watchtower. This will involve all mapping and the USN being looked at in depth – probably 2 months work at the minimum.  Counter art etc will commence as soon as possible for this very exciting game.

Following Watchtower will be La Guerra.  It may even come out on the same day (this depends on a number of factors – mostly counter sheet volume in Watchtower.  The idea is to alternate released between the ETO and PTO (even if BTW games are not quite TSWW!).  5 maps will be in this box, along with 4-6 countersheets.  Thanks to Lee Johnston for his help in formulating basic OB works here.

As soon as Dennis can get I Shall Return OB data organised, I will then put that title into the production run as contracted, BUT we want to release Vengeance as soon as possible – it will be a race between those two titles….  Watch this space for more information!!!

Again, thank you all for your support….

Regards
