OH NO! It's yet another Baccus Shopping Cart shutdown!

2020-03-04 00:00:00

Sorry folks, but we've had to take the difficult decision to put a temporary halt to new orders while we whittle away at the current backlog.    It's not a decision taken lightly, but it is the correct one.

We are taking steps to increase both production and administrative capacity to handle increased volume, but these take time to put in place.

In the meantime please bear with us for a week or so.  If you have any orders for Hammerhead email or phone them through to us.  We are still open for business in all other matters - that is until the Zombie Apocalypse is unleased upon us...

Au Revoir...

2020-01-31 00:00:00

Well, we are here.  Our last day of membership of the EU.   We at Baccus are extremely sorry to be leaving.   EU membership and our individual citizenship have been huge bonuses for all concerned.   To my European customers, please do not be be fooled by the flag-waving boorish antics of a few MEPs and the headlines in the trash newspapers.  We remain at heart a civil and civilised country and at least half of the country, if not more are saddened and even appalled at the sequence of events that has led to today.

2020-01-27 00:00:00

After a brief catch-up period, I am delighted to be able to announce that the Baccus shopping cart has now reopened and the doors to our Magical Emporium of Wonders are once more thrown open wide to visitors from all four corners of the globe!

What is more, the shelves have been restocked with a glittering cornucopia of new releases and desirable items to satfisfy even the most jaded of palates..

Shopping cart put on hold

2020-01-15 00:00:00

 

We've had to put a temporary hold on new orders as we clear a HUGE backload received over the holiday period and in the first week of the 2020.   We'll get the casting machines spinning at Warp 9 and get things moving again as soon as possible.  To sweeten the pill a little, when we do reopen in a few days time, we'll have some rather spiffing new releases on offer.

The year thats's gone and the twelve months to come.

2020-01-06 00:00:00

I’ve finally managed to round up the low brow ingrates that constitute the Baccus workforce from the gin palaces and sleazy dens of iniquitous behavior that they frequented over the festive season.  With them safely chained to the casting machines once again it is time to move to more uplifting work and regale you all with the annual bout of reflection and prediction.

Like most men of letters I feel that I have the makings of an author of a great work of literature that will demand the respect of my peers and stand the test of time.  Sadly, I am forced to squander these talents on what follows…

Bah! Humbug!

2019-12-20 00:00:00

Once again, we find ourselves on the cusp of the Festive Season and, as is traditional at this time of year, I give the workers at Baccus Megacorps Industries half a day off and an extra lump of coal each with which to warm their miserable hovels.   Strangely enough, when I made this overly generous offer to the assembled group of hollow-eyed wage slaves, as a man they declared that they were off down to the pub and would not be back until the New Year.   Faced with this show of ingratitude I had no alternative but to close the workshop until their return and walk home through the snow,  taking the opportunity to kick the odd street urchin and curse random groups of carol singers for their irritating jollity.

What we did in our holidays...

2019-11-12 00:00:00

As many of you will know, we have recently taken some time out to expand and refurbish our working environment at Baccus HQ.   We’ve only really completed the first phase of the project as a whole, but enough people have been asking me about how it has all gone for me to take some pictures of what we have done to the place.   As a lot of phases 2 and 3 are tidying up and adding some extra bits and pieces, apologies in advance if things can seem a little rough around the edges and in need of some finishing off.   This is generally because things ARE a little rough around the edges and in need of some finishing off…

New WW2 German releases!

2019-10-30 00:00:00

After the recent cogitations over the state of the hobby, it’s time to get things moving with some real news in the form of some new releases to help get back into Enthusiasm Mode.   These were scheduled originally to be released at Crisis, but as we won’t be off to Antwerp this year, there seems no need to hang on to them.   As anticipated, these are mostly WW2, but there is a little surprise tucked in at the end.  Apologies in advance for the quality of the photos.  We haven’t got the photographic area set up following the refurbishment, so these have been taken with less than optimal kit.

What is the purpose of a wargames show?

2019-10-28 00:00:00

This is another one of my occasional ‘musing’ pieces about the hobby.   It’s been prompted by just chatting to various people at the recent Fiasco show.  The fact that they all had this conversation with me in one form or another was the catalyst for me to get typing.   Before I get started can I say right from the start that I attend about 15 shows each year and love going to each and every one of them, and that all the show organisers do a great and thankless task.   Anything that I write below is neither malicious nor aimed at any one person or show.   Finally, all points refer to the UK show scene with which I am familiar.  Experiences will vary in different countries.
